Coming in at #4 on our listener-voted Top Five (non-Disney) parks is Six Flags Magic Mountain.On the podcast, I said that of all the parks I haven't visited, this is the one I want to experience most.
I suppose that it's because Magic Mountain is the park Clark Grizwald and his family visited in the movie "Vacation." The park looked pretty cool back in 1983 and it's gotten even better since.
I mentioned in my post about Busch Gardens Williamsburg that the park is probably in the Top Five because of the iconic rides. I think the same thing can be said for Six Flags Magic Mountain.
There's no other West Coast park that can compete when it comes to the number of roller coasters and thrill rides.
With one admission to Six Flags Magic Mountain, you can experience iconic rides like Riddler's Revenge, Superman: The Escape, Revolution, Goliath, Tatsu, Batman, X2 and many others.
While this park does have it's critics, I think the new Six Flags management has been making some positive changes over the past few years that have made the park experience better for everyone.
When you read trip reports that have been posted online, almost all of them mention how the park seems to be cleaner and run better than before.
I also like how they always seem to have something new and exciting. Last year's Terminator wooden coaster seems to be a big hit and they're looking to follow that with a Mr. Six Dance Coaster this year.
It might be time for me to finally get out to California to visit Magic Mountain. They're our #4 park after all!
