- Hey everyone, so in this video, I will be giving you 10 tips and tricks that will hopefully assist you during your day at Six Flags Magic Mountain. This video is mostly for people who are either visiting for the first time, haven't visited in a really long time, or are just a bit inexperienced with the park. I want you to be able to make the most out of your day while at the park, because as of right now, being able to ride a large amount of rides can be challenging.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the video, if so, then please remember to like and subscribe! :) Thanks!! :D

That last tip: Thank you for caring about the team members. My sisters had to stay anywhere between 2 - 3 hours overtime this past week. Sure they like the OT pay, but they would rather go home after a busy day.
Of course! I have a few friends who are ride ops/work at theme parks, and I plan on being one myself this summer. I know how hard they've been working, especially given that Six Flags hasn't had the best reopening. It seems that a lot of the guests in the park just don't appreciate the people who are trying their hardest to ensure they have a great time.
The only thing I would say is that some members aren't fully educated on the different memberships. I had to pay full price with a diamond elite to get my friend in. Didn't feel like arguing over it but wish they would be better trained.
@@M-NL2 I just applied for a permanent position in maintainance, fingers crossed.
I’m going to six flags for the first time ever on Friday and I can’t wait. I’ve been watching all your videos and they genuinely have helped so much! I haven’t been on a roller coaster for 5-4 years and the biggest one I’ve been to is splash mountain in Disney so I’m definitely excited for those faster rollercoasters!
Hope you have a legendary time!
To let u know it gets pack very quick now. Since no reservations. Waiting times can be up to 2 hrs. And food lines are long so I suggest to order through their app to be quicker. I went in June and just went last sat. Their was a big difference. Hope you have fun
@@mianiki9758 I am going wensday the 28th for the first time and I haven't done anything yet
@@iniceatyoutube1030 hey how was it ? Was the wait times long ? I’m going on august 2
splash mount aint a rollercoaster
Hey man, some great tips! Really like these videos and it helped out on recent trips with my wife/kid. I've been planning out various routes (considering that little dude can't do the 54" rides yet) and would love to see a video that gives optional best routes through the park. Over the past few years, we've spent way too much time climbing the Ninja hill where there's basically nothing except a path down to other rides either bypassing the (often not working) Honda Express to walk up/down stairs or that winding path down on the other side of Ninja. Basically, a video where you various paths AND elevation would be kinda cool. Thanks, and have a good one!
Thanks for all the feedback and glad you found thus video helpful! I was actually planning on doing a video like that this month but never got around to it; I'll be out of town for 3 weeks so I'm not sure when I can get around to it, but I'll try my best to make it happen!
This video is so helpful I’m going to my end of the year Field trip on Wednesday and it’s my first time going to six flags and we are going to be there really early so this is so helpful in what to do thank you 🥰
such a helpful video!! doing a spontanious day trip there tomorrow!! this was clutch thanks man!!
No problem! Hope you have an awesome time!
Thanks for all the details! This really helped us prepare for our visit.
No problem! Glad I could help in any way possible! :)
Definitely needed tho I go to six flags a lot, it’s still very helpful to know some tips that can come in handy !
Great video...pretty much you summed it up..for its the same way here at six flags over Texas...same tips for that park as well.
Awesome vid bro the entire layout was great 👍
Thank you so much!
Your tips are spot on. I don't plan to go to Magic Mountain this year, but my years of experience of having annual passes to Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott;s, and MM your tip on getting to the park EARLY cannot be over stated,. taking water and some food (if allowed) for me is also a big item as I feel there is too much time wasted and the parks really over charge because they have a trapped audience. When planning a trip to the park I always had everyone eat a good hardy breakfast before leaving for the park. If stopped at the gate about taking in food I tell them my kids and now grandkids have a restricted diet (which is true). And the parks really doesn't want a child have a severe reaction to the food served there. MM will always been remembered by my kids as we would ride our off road motorcycles at Hungry Valley near by, take a late afternoon nap, and finish the evening at MM.
Such a wholesome story! Unfortunately I don't have an actual reason to bring food in so I'm limited to eating what's available in the park! But when I go to Disneyland, I'll just bring a whole Thanksgiving dinner with me!
I’m going to six flags on February 20th! Thanks so much for this video I watched ur knotts video it helped so much! Thanks for the vid!
My tip is go to the restaurant next to the helpful Honda express (station in the front of the park) to get drink refills. It is super rundown looking and easy to walk past so it never has a long line
Great content i enjoy your videos 👍
Thank you!
MY GOD THANK U THANK U THANK U, SFMM should be doing this but u now da man!!!
No problem, glad I could help 😄
@@M-NL2 u should warn ppl about the no parking shuttle, no shade, u got everything there, no 6ft enforcement lol
@@JOHNSMITH-dc6lr Oh yeah, I talked about that stuff in my "What to Expect" video; everything except for the shuttle, my bad
I’m going next Thursday. I’ve never been but I’m a coaster enthusiast. I’m literally so excited. Thanks for this!
No problem! Hope you have fun! :D

Good luck! Hopefully you get to experience Sunday The Ride and WCR 👀
@@M-NL2 thanks!
Nice! Good tips
thanks alot. Im planning on going in July and i think this helped alot
No problem! Glad you found it helpful!
same, hopefully it won’t be as packed now that everything else is opening.
Great video! I’ll go next Saturday, I have a question, what about the lockers? Are in every ride?
My 7 year old daughter and I were there last weekend for the beginning of frightfest. We had several walkons.. most notably the 12:59am walkon of X2 where we got a PRIVATE Train as the last ride of the day.
I’ve been to six flags more times than I know and this video was amazing
My home park is Discovery Kingdom and I’m taking my brother in law to magic mountain for his first trip there during the first week of September. We will be there on a Tuesday and Wednesday so we can ride everything. Definitely can’t do it all in one day in my experience. Hopefully the lines won’t be long. 🤞🏻
Thanks for the tips! Me and my son are hoping to fly out on Wednesday September 8 and arrive around 12:30pm. We will be there until 6pm and then all day on Thursday. Can we do it all? And any tips for this specific trip?
I’m going on Saturday. I’m so so exciteddddd
OMGGG SAMEEE

Very helpful video! I have a few questions, I heard you can pull up the flash pass on your phone do you know if this is true and if it is do you recommend that instead of the watch they give you?
Hi! I'm not extremely familiar with the flash pass system, especially the mobile system (since I never buy flash passes) so I don't exactly know how that works; I would just recommend trying to find that info on their website or contacting them, I don't wanna provide false info!
Guys don't ride Crazanity. I went on the ride feeling something was wrong. I felt like there was way to many of the seats that had an out of order sign, and it was kind of wierd. I have been on a few similar made by intamin, and I feel totally comfortable riding those. I just didn't feel safe this time. Me and my friend sat down two seats that wasn't out of order, and waited for the ride to start, but then the operators came and said, that we couldn't ride in those seats. I asked why since it was weird, and there was no sign that said out of order. He said, that the restraint isn't working properly. When he said that, the other operator looked at him like he said something he wasn't supposed to say. When my friend asked a second time as he didn't hear my conversation with the guy, the guy started suttering and got very quiet suddenly. Then he just said that he didn't know why, and that we could sit in some other seats. After that we both didn't feel comfortable riding anymore, and left. Thats already a red flag, and it seems that there is something the operators can't talk about. On top of that later that same day, my other friend was waiting for us by crazanity while we were riding wonder woman. When we came back he said, that two people hit thier feet on the metal floor below the ride while riding. They luckily didn't hit that hard, and it happened by the start of the ride so they didn't get hurt. After the ride was over, they talked to the operators about it, and the operators didn't seem to care. The ride just kept running for the rest of the day after that. Something is definetally going on here right? It's like they can't say what's wrong with the seats.
Thank you so much I’m headed out their tomorrow 😁😁😁😁
Have fun!
@@M-NL2 thank youuu I have a question tho, say I bring 60$ And I want to put it on the six flags card, but when where done and the park is getting ready to close and we still have money on the card can we get our money back cash or is it stuck on the 6flags card
The card is a standard temporary debit card, so it will basically work as a standard debit card/debit gift card no matter where you use it. You should also be able to withdraw the funds from a regular ATM as well.
@@M-NL2 ohhh ok thank youuuu so much🥰
@@dessviii No problem!
May you please update this video? Like make a newer one in todays times please!? That would be amazing! Thank you for all the amazing info!!
Aloha and Ultra Apprecaition, M! Everything GOLD but coming from Hawaii we are getting on as many rides as humanly possible and end of the night is IT #lastine SUPER SOCAL TIP: Indiana Jones Ride crew will run You through a second time after close in Disneyland if You ask super nicely and they LOVE doing it -- Magic Makes MORE Magic. The vibe on-scene is like a party!
Would you recommend rope dropping X2 or Tatsu for first ride of the day? I think Tatsu makes more sense but I only have one day and dont want to miss X2...
I did your tips I got to ride the most popular rides after earlier except tatsu x2 and Superman
Great tips thank you!! One quick question: Can I bring water into the park? Bottles or even a yeti?
Yes! You can bring in sealed bottles of water and you can also bring an empty hydro flask which you can later fill with anything you want
Thank you for your tips! I have a question, do you think I can ride all things for my reservation Thursday at 11:30 and flash pass platinum?
100!% Crowds have been dying down lately, as the park has not been as packed recently, and so I believe a platinum flash pass might be a bit overkill, but it would definitely ensure that you would be able to ride everything with re-rides!
@@M-NL2 Thanks bro!
Just went today. I got on everything in three and a half hours. The days between Mothers Day and Memorial day are great. The longest wait was 10 minutes.
Even though this video is a year old I still find it very informative and helpful, I try not to pack a whole lot in my backpack and it’s always make sure to bring cash to convert it to a card they have onsite with those little kiosks and I’ve noticed a lot of places are starting to use them like the Microsoft theater in Downtown Los Angeles, thanks for the helpful info and tips I always watch this video before going to Magic Mountain
I have 8h grade promotion in 2 weeks and they are giving 6 flag tickets to everyone, so I am going in the middle of June! this will be my first time in 2 years to ride a coaster there and I am absolutely ready for X2 and riddlers revenge!
Hope you have a fantastic visit! 😃
hello. my home park is discovery kingdom, and my family and i are planning to go to magic mountain in either september, october, or november. we do want to go on a weekday, instead of a weekend, since weekends can be busy, and we’d only be going for one day. we were thinking about a friday in october, since the park is open until 1 a.m. so which day of the week would you recommend going on, and which of the three months would be best? thank you! (amazing video, i’ve taken note of everything you said.)
Hi! So during the 3 months you mentioned, the best time to go is September by far, specifically Tuesday - Thursday. September has always been the emptiest month of the year because people are all going back to school and work, and there arent any major holidays nearby. If you were to go on a Friday in October for Fright Fest, I would recommend Flash Passes because Fright Fest crowds are always pretty big, especially this year because there wasn't a Fright Fest this year, so we can expect to see a lot more crowds this year in general; hope this helps!
@@M-NL2 THANK YOU
cool vid
Thank you!
Quick question is it better to have a printed copy of your reservation and ticket or is the digital bar code fine? Really appreciate the helpful tips 🙏🏼
As long as you have a legible barcode then it doesn't make a difference! I prefer to have a printed version, but if you have a very clear photo or screenshot of the reservation/ticket with the full barcode showing, it should work just as fine! Hope this helps :)
Question on hats and glasses what are my rateings?
Do I have to ride revolution to use the exit shortcut to get to the back of the park or is there a way to go straight through from the front gate?
From experience flash pass isn't worth the money. Purchase diamond elite and get 2 skip the line passes each visit and includes unlimited free soda/water. We hit all the short wait time rides first then late afternoon use the 2 tickets for the hour long rides. Also always bring a backpack.
One thing is that is also important about going late to the park, if you do, the lines wont get longer, they will get shorter. And less people will ne entering, including you. Yes, the lines may be a little long but like as the 3rd last tip said, be patient.
When is you’re next live stream? I want more RMC cookies! 🍪
This summer for the final series of building Maverick!
Where do you pick up your flash pass from? Is it in the front of the park, or in the back by the DC area?
Going to six flags mm this week! We are either going on tuesday or wednesday, but we still havent decided. Its my first time going, and im gonna go on X2 first for my 50th credit. Do you think tuesday or wednesday would be better?
Both will likely be about the same in terms of crowds; have fun during your visit!
Apocalypse is a reliably open ride? LOL I'm dying here
I'm going this summer 2021 in July ima be hyped when july arrives
Nice! Hope you have fun!
@@M-NL2 I deniflenty will after 3 years
Is the app for magic mountain better than other Six Flags locations? Because we went to Six Flags over Texas and Fiesta last month and the ride status information was near worthless. Multiple rides said they were running when not and we rode multiple rides that said they were closed at both parks. Wait times were also off in both directions on multiple rides, most actually had shorter wait times than the app said and a few were much longer wait times than the app said even though the ride never stopped for issues.
I agree with all of these. Do they still serve Dole Whips at Food Etc.?
in your experience when using the app, do you find that the posted wait times for rides are accurate, or are the off?
They aren't usually exactly spot on, especially once the crowds start fluctuating in the early afternoon, but once the lines have "settled" and the amount of people in the park stops fluctuating, they are very accurate and nonetheless give a good idea of what the crowds are like in the park.
Hey so I'm going the first week of Christmas break will the lines be decent? (Weekday 19-21st)
10 Tips For Visiting Thrillville in 2021
Tip #1: Leave
I haven't been there in ages and got a reservation for Tuesday April 13th . Going to get dropped off there and picked up...is there a set drop off location and pick up location?
Yes! There is, there is a small U shaped drop off/pick up zone directly in front of the ticket booths/temperature screening. To get there, you would have to go left of the parking booths upon driving up to the actual park.
Thank You! For your informative tips. I am going this Saturday May 1st with my son. 🎢💯💥🖐
Have fun!!
@@M-NL2 thank you
Just get the flash pass and ride whatever you want whenever you want. Saves a lot of time if you wanna ride the rides multiple times a day especially if you're travelling from another country or states
I wish there was flash pass for "sunday" the ride haha. I keep wanting to ride but I'm spoiled by flash pass and don't want to wait 45 minutes LMAO
just hit it up early in the morning before the crowds roll in lol
My friends and I brought only one water bottle each and since everything is so expensive we didn't have any money for dinner by the end of the day, cuz we blew it all on water. We chugged 1 water bottle each when my dad came to pick us up.
Damn how much is a bottle of water there
@@user-js1qy5wd6n Like 10 bucks and we brought 50 each.
i have a reservation this saturday for 1:15 :( should i just reschedule for the sunday after that (25) at 11:30? imma be getting flashpass anyway
If you are going to be getting gold or platinum flash pass, then it might be fine to go Saturday, however, the lines for Flash pass will actually be very long, and you will have to park way in the back near scream. You probably won't be able to actually get on a ride until like 2 pm, which is when the park is pretty much the most crowded. If I were you, I would personally reschedule, but it is ultimately up to you.
Headed back tomorrow after almost 5 years 🙏🙏🙏
I hope you have a legendary time!!!
I really wanted to ride Tatsu last time I went to MM, problem was line was 4+ hours long. And I didn't really want to stick to the line bcz other rides were like 1 to 2 hours long.
Rip, once Tatsu reopens, try to ride it within the first hour of the park's operating day! It should be a very short wait then!
@@M-NL2 Yeah I could try. But the only times I get to go are when we are going to LA and have a extra day or two. I usually like to spend them at Knotts and another theme park. It would be hard since we would have to arrive there really early. But I have to get on tatsu for sure next time I get to MM
Do the lines for Full Throttle, X2 or Twisted Colossus stay open all the way to closing time or do they sometimes close the queue lines early if it's really busy?
Sometimes they'll close em slightly earlier
I will be going next Wednesday at 11:15 do u think it will be crowded. Just in case to buy a flash pass
lol i’m going 11:30 that day
I made a reservation for 1:15pm with my family this Saturday 😳 hopefully it’s worth it
I'll be completely honest with you, it's gonna be pretty packed by the time you get in the park unless you have Flash Pass or skip-the-lines, but have fun regardless!
Something tells me that these tips are going to work btw I am in Mexico right now and I’m going back to United States in 1 more day and my dad said when we get back we will go to six flags mm
I’m going for the first time at next week at 11:00. Hope it’s not busy
Have fun!
i was the thousandth like
very epic
How you call superman the escape, "son of the ride" lol
th-cam.com/video/iAppYEAl4wo/w-d-xo.html
is it super crowded on weekends? like may 16 for example? which flash pass do you recommend?
Pretty much every Saturday is gonna be super crowded, but on Sundays it depends; the middle of May shouldn't be too bad, but if I were you, I would periodically check that date to see how many time slots are open, because if it becomes fully booked, or the only time slots or at like 2 pm, then I would recommend getting flash pass.
@@M-NL2 smart! thanks ☺
Okay so we bought platinum flash passes and we made a reservation for tomorrow, but it didn't give us a time. Do we need to make a separate reservation to get a time spot or?.. Can somebody explain this, please? 🥺🥺
Whenever you make a reservation for Six Flags Magic Mountain, you should be prompted with a list of available time slots to arrive. If you already have a season pass or membership, then you would have to make this reservation separately, but if you are getting a single-day ticket, then I believe you set the reservation at the same time that you buy the ticket and they are both included together.
tip #11: ride west coast racers
Ride West Coast Racers *Early otherwise line become big boi
Have a reservation at 11:45 is that a good time to get on the rides on a Wednesday
Shouldn't be too bad! As long as you are able to park sooner than that and get inside the actual park right at your reservation time.
We have a reservation next Saturday 12:45 (the earliest I could find 😭). Do you think a Platinum flash pass would be worth it? Or should I reschedule? We plan on buying it online before actually going to the park
Yeah a platinum flash pass is the best work around to a fully packed day. Getting food might be a hassle, but also keep in mind that you'll still have to pick up your flash pass device at the park evem when you buy online, so you would have to wait in the flash pass line when you get there. You would also have to park pretty far from the park's entrance, so there's that too.
Basically, you might not get to actually ride anythjng until about 1:30 to 2:00 but once you have your flash pass, you should be able to ride very many rides.
Oh ok, ok. Thank you so much 🥰
@@effyinabox986 No problem! Hope it helps! :)
I’m planning on arriving at 12:30-1:00 on Tuesday. Do you think I’ll be able to ride most of the rides?
hell nah
These are good tips. Too bad I'll visit this park likely *never again*
I have 2 days in August. Should I do 2 days at Magic Mountain or 1 day Magic Mountain and 1 day Hurricane Harbor?
Unless its insanely crowded, I would recommend half a day at Hurricane Harbor and the rest of your time at Magic Mountain. Hurricane Harbor would be better on the 2nd day, at opening, and then around 2pm or so, I would switch over to the main park.
by staying home?
How are the ride operations? Are they operating multiple trains on rides?
Yes, for almost every ride, they are now running multiple trains. Seating is limited on rides however, and there is sanitization after every few cycles, so operations are still a bit slower than normal however.
As long as I get to ride X2 I'll be happy
How early can you get in and park? I have a 1030am reservation
The gates to the park open at 10:30 at the earliest right now, but the gates to the parking lot will open between 9:30 and 10:15, and plus the line to get in the parking lot and the park will get very long the closer it gets to 10:30.
So What's the list if rides to go on first I have never went to six flags so I don't know which ones are the best
I would recommend heading to the back of the park and getting on Tatsu, West Coast Racers, Apocalypse, Ninja, Superman, CraZanity, and then snaking your way through Screampunk and DC Universe, while also hitting Goliath and Lex on the way to Screampunk. I would get in line for Full Throttle after eating lunch because by then it will have about a 30 minute wait, and then finishing up with Revolution, X2, and Viper
@@M-NL2 I have just screenshot your response and will do this plan Monday the 28th! Thanks!
Question: I’m going with three of my friends on the 31st for my birthday and my parents want to know if they can drop us off at the entrance since they won’t be going in the park with us. Is that possible or would they still need to pay for parking in advance?
That's completely possible! There is a separate drop off/pick-up area located very close to the entrance of the park.
@@M-NL2 thanks!!
@@miam.5601 No problem!
Can I get bring a backpack? Are there cubbies now? I am used to the no backpack or use a locker days
Yup! You can bring a bag in as long as there is nothing prohibited inside of it; every single ride in the park with the exception of X2 has free cubbies to use in the station. X2 requires you to buy lockers the majority of the time, but as of right now with the COVID guidelines, you can put your stuff in X2's station for free as well.
Are you allowed to take games like maybe a switch with you in a backpack?
I have actually done this many times, sometimes by accident, and have never had a problem with security not letting me in with a Nintendo Switch!
What do u think it’s the most line waited ride
Superman always has a 2-3 hour line on the weekends
is meal pass worth it?
are the souvenir cups only for members and season pass holders? when i went in 2017 they weren’t so i thought i would be okay buying them when i go next month.
The short answer is: no, they are available to everyone.
The long answer is:
So there are basically 2 different types of souvenir bottles that you can get: If you are purchasing a 1-day ticket or if you have a standard Season Pass, then your cup will give you free refills for the entire day, but only for the first day that you use the cup. Every day you visit afterwards, each refill will cost about a dollar. If you are a member, then you receive a Member cup, which just gives you unlimited free refills every day as long as your membership is still valid.
Hope this helps! :)
@@M-NL2 thank you so much !! that helps so much :)
are they still selling them at all locations ?
@@MandyRazon Pretty much all of the major food locations will sell them; the ones that have them for sale will generally have a few on display, or will be advertised on the menu of that food location! I believe Member cups can only be picked up at Member service towards the front of the park though.
@@M-NL2 okay ! thank you so much for all the help i really appreciate it! and great video by the way really super helpful !! :)
@@MandyRazon No problem! Also thank you, glad I could help! :D
I went to magic mountain today at 3:00 and everything was a walk-on
I’m going on a Thursday in April how do you think the crowds will be ??
Should be fairly dead, but as a warning, the park has started running one train on pretty much every roller coaster when the park is empty enough
@@M-NL2 okay thank you still looking into buying the fast pass just in case cause I am traveling to LA from Florida for the week just for a visit
I’m going April 30
Have fun!
getting the bronze flash pass hope its worth it
Hey was it worth it?? I bought the gold flash passes and will go in 4 days. What was your experience with using them?
Definitely worth it. Got on every ride with 25-30 wait max. With you getting gold should be no problem. Only down side is you can’t ride X2 multiple times with the pass
are you allowed to use your buddy pass during covid?
I actually have no idea. That would be something I would ask Guest Services from the Six Flags website.
Im planning to go tomorrow before it opens. What time should I arrive by?
The gates to the parking lot generally open between 10:00 to 10:15, so I generally try to make sure I'm at the park before 10:00. Also reservations are no longer required so you can show up at any time too, which should help out
@@M-NL2 if I get there way before the gates open, is there a spot I can wait until they do or be the first person till gates open
@@Jose_-ev9cj Yup! You can wait in front of the gates at the parking booths, there is an extremely long and wide road there, where cars will line up to get in the park. If you wanna be one of the first people in line, then I would say arrive between 9 and 9:30, however it also means waiting like an hour before the park opens. It does guarantee getting in the park super early tho.
My home park is Magic Mountain
I was at Magic Mountain on Thursday, the lines were awful
rip :(
How would the line for flash pass be longer then the reg line ?
It can be anywhere from like 5-20 mins
@@M-NL2 thanks! I bought gold flash passes so anything less than 20 mins is amazing.
