    Awesome place! My favorite roller coasters are X2, Tatsu, and Full Throttle. A bit overcrowded at times, but still fun regardless. Smoking prohibited except for a few spots -- better for families.

    Wow! It was amazing here. We were one day at six flags so we bought a flash pass and it's worth it for one day! My favorite rides was Tatsu, Goliath and Green lantern.

    Get the fast pass! We got gold and didn't wait more than 10 for any ride. It's worth the extra money. Ride Appocolypse in the back car at night!! Great experience. Ride Goliath in the back car!

    I have to say we really had a great time. All the staff were excellent. If you remain don't be upset about by the color of the all-day drink but it's pink.

    Coolest theme park in Southern California if you're looking for serious thrills on roller coasters. Leave a whole day for this place because there are a lot of rides and the lines are long.

    Twisted Colossus is a great new add. Super smooth, fun, and about 4min long. X2 is still the best ride in the park

    The best rollercoasters ever! My fav was the X2, but the lines are really long (2-3 hours) in every ride. Flash pass a must... And don't forget to go on Halloween's Fright Fest!

    When using the kennel, bring water and food. Park across from the park, so you can have easy access between the two. They do not interact with the dog, so schedule some pee breaks to avoid accidents.

    Buying a season pass is totally worth it with your mate or with a group of friends. Best to wait for holiday or super special deals.

    You'll need two days for all the best rides! The gold fast pass is probably the best buy. Do not go into X2 expecting it to be just like any other ride, it will blow your mind.

    Best rides in my opinion: X2, Tatsu, Drop of Doom, and Riddler's. Lines aren't bad on weekdays during the season. Be sure to stop by and take photos with the characters and super heroes! ;]

    The new ride "Full Throddle" is the best in the park, in my opinion. Tatsu and Goliath are great too. Haven't gone on superman and drop doom but looks intense :)

    DO NOT RIDE THE GREEN LANTERN. It feels like a car accident. Instead, try just about anything. Twisted Colossus, Goliath, and Superman were my favorites.

    Lines are crazy long during the summer. Be prepared to wait 2+ hours for the better rides (X2, Tatsu, Superman). Don't want to wait? Try the log ride and other rides where you get wet.

    This guy who is a Magic Mountain employee, said on a Facebook theme park group that I need to stop not molesting children. Children should not be at this park with a pedophile working there.
