Six Flags Magic Mountain Los Angeles is well known as a thrill ride haven with world-class roller coasters and over 100 rides, games and attractions. Six Flags Magic Mountain is home to 11 different world records! 2011 will be an unprecedented year of capital expansions with three new roller coaster experiences. With these additions, Six Flags Magic Mountain regains the coveted “Coaster Capital of the World” crown — with a total of 18 roller coasters — more than any other theme park on the planet.
Among the park's world-class roller coasters and thrill rides is APOCALYPSE wooden coaster. Once you experience the full assault of speed and thrills, you'll think you just stepped into a post-apocalyptic battle. Other coasters include Tatsu, the tallest, fastest and longest flying coaster on Earth; and X2, a fifth-dimensional roller coaster that we've taken to next level with completely redesigned trains and state-of-the-art visual, audio and sensory effects.
Calling all
daredevils. In late spring, Six Flags Over Georgia will
introduce Dare Devil Dive, a "euro fighter" coaster with an amazing
drop that's BEYOND vertical.
Dare Devil Dive opens May 28!
Dare Devil Dive's mission begins as
you're pulled straight up to the sky on a special vertical chain
lift, then slowly roll to the top of the tower nearly 100-feet in
the air. After an agonizing pause at the crest of the summit, you
plummet downward at an angle that is beyond straight down — it
actually angles inward at a blistering 52 mph. It is the country's
first PAUSE element before the beyond vertical drop.
Then you careen through a thrilling
combination of diving loops while executing three inversions before
you catch air on a zero gravity hill and swoop across the dreaded
Immelman vertical U turn stretched high above the ground. The
crescendo builds as the car dives toward the ground and up into a
Heartline roll before being slowed by the magnetic brakes.

nothing beneath your feet but Earth and sky.

The Best Water Park in the Nation…Just Got Bigger! Six Flags
Great America announces plans to add a 4 acre water park
expansion for the 2011 season. Riptide Bay at Hurricane Harbor
will boast more slides and attractions than any other in the
state featuring the only place to surf on Lake Michigan. The new
double-sided surf simulator, Surf Rider, sends out 5 foot waves
with 50,000 gallons of rushing water a minute. Just like waves
on a real ocean, now anyone can learn how to carve a bottom, do
cut backs and learn amazing trick maneuvers as they build their
surfing skills. The water park expansion will also include a
Caribbean-inspired activity pool with additional lounging areas,
high-speed waterslides, luxury cabanas and more attractions
still to be announced. Construction is expected to begin this
Fall east of the existing water park. Riptide Bay at Hurricane
Harbor is set to open Spring 2011.
"Six Flags is thrilled to be working alongside
Sony Pictures Entertainment again this season to innovatively showcase
the film via our in-park media assets as well as execute a very unique
experiential sweepstakes," said David McKillips, senior vice president,
Corporate Alliances for Six Flags. "This campaign demonstrates our
ability to strategically target specific demographics with a
multi-medium, hands-on approach."
Meet your favorite super heroes and
characters—including Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Bugs
Bunny, and Scooby Doo.
From hamburgers and fries to chicken or
pizza, there are eateries for every taste conveniently located
throughout the park. Salads are available, plus delicious treats such
as funnel cakes and ice cream.
The park contains all types of
activities, many of which are not dependent upon good weather, including
indoor shows, games and arcades. While some rides and shows may close
due to rain or wind, these rides and shows are opened as soon as the
weather clears.
