Changes Coming to Six Flags Magic Mountain: Classic Children's Rides to be Removed
Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, is set to remove two classic children's rides, as indicated by recent permits filed with Los Angeles County. The Magic Flyer, a 70-year-old coaster originally from Beverly Park, will be demolished. This steel kids roller coaster, valued at $10,000, has been a staple at the park since its relocation in 1970. The ride features a steam engine theme, a 10-foot lift hill, gentle turns, and a maximum speed of 10 miles-per-hour, providing young riders with an introduction to thrill rides.
Additionally, Six Flags Magic Mountain plans to dismantle a steel swing ride, likely Tweety’s Escape, which offers a unique experience for kids as they ride in individual birdcages that circle around a central point adorned with murals of popular characters. Tweety’s Escape, which debuted in 1985 and is also valued at $10,000, will be removed from the park. The park has not disclosed the replacement plans for these two rides, but construction is ongoing for a new suspended motorbike-style coaster at the former Golden Bear Theater location.
Known for its innovative and record-breaking roller coasters like X2, Goliath, Tatsu, and Revolution, Six Flags Magic Mountain continues to be a premier destination for thrill-seekers. The park's commitment to providing cutting-edge rides and attractions ensures that visitors will have an unforgettable experience. Stay tuned for updates on the new coaster and future developments at the park.
