Six Flags Magic Mountain, known as the “Thrill Capital of the World”, is currently closed due to maintenance. However, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Splash Mountain have reopened in Magic Kingdom. The park’s hours and opening rides will change depending on the number of guests entering. Starting November 1st, Magic Mountain will be open only in the mornings.
On Thursday, Superman, Riddler’s, Goliath, Scream, and Twisted Colossus were closed. Mechanics were working on these rides. The park offers thrilling coasters and rides for kids, with some rides closed during winter or for maintenance or upgrades. Live queue times for all rides are available, and the park is open from 10:30am to 6:00pm.
The park also has a Diamond Pass and Prestige Pass available for those who want to enjoy the thrills of the park. The park boasts 20 roller coasters, the most in the world. The wooden roller coaster Colossus was closed in 2014, but it was later converted into a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid in 2015. Two out of three water rides were closed, and a few big roller coasters were closed. Kios and restaurants were also closed.

📹 7 Defunct Six Flags Magic Mountain Rides – Attraction Graveyard
Six Flags Magic Mountain has been open since 1971, so its no surprise that many rides have come and gone through the years.
Water level in the splash pool was way too low. Water is the brake after the drop and the lack of a splash shows it’s low water. The boat should have lost its momentum long before the curve. Lack of maintenance or maintenance training. Where I’m from as the weather changes the weirs have to be adjusted to maintain proper water level. To high the boat stops to fast to low and well, see the vid.
It’s not easy to be a ride operator I honestly hope the dispatcher doesn’t lose his or her job they can’t see the ride from there point of view unless there is a article camera and he or she wasn’t paying attention and just kept the ride going ..ride operators are trained to Estop the ride especially if someone said something about the ride acting funny I would have Estopped the ride as soon as I heard that remark ..but that’s just me
We rode this ride literally the same week this happened and my hubby and I were talking about how they’re going to have to either fix the ride up or tear it down because there are so many patches and fixes, we saw that loose gate bit but man, it got really bad in just a couple days. We rode on it afterwards and it’s a little better but man, they gotta fix this ride. It doesn’t even splash the bridge like it used to. My home articles from early 2000s look way different than my family articles from recently.
I remember going on a similar ride to this at Busch Gardens. When I got all the way to the top, the log I was in just stopped. Somebody was helping me get out when I ended up, slipping back into my seat and the ride randomly started again. My log went flying all the way down the slide. It was such a scary moment for me. I didn’t know what else to expect or what was going to happen in that split second!
What’s worse is that this ride literally has no seat belts or any sort of protection meaning, if the ride DID tip over those girls would’ve literally flew out of their seats. when I went on this ride and saw that it had no protection at all and I went in the front. When I was going down I legit held on for dear life because I started falling out of my seat. it went fine but I could’ve gotten seriously injured. Hopefully six flags is able to fix the malfunction AND add some proper restrains onto it.
actually it malfunctiond becuae there was not enough water to slow it down it was low those rails at the bottom of hill should be underwater, a sensor should of stopped the ride due to low water when water is the only breaking mechanism on a log ride.. the side rail broke becuse the log ride was going to fast and hit it mutiple times, it’s not the rail that is the problem but the low water level!
I think that dad and kids should be shamed actually. How can you know something is wrong and let the next people on the ride? At the time did it seem funny the ride was messed up? Did you think it was going to be alright and things would break that would be funny? I honestly cant think of a excuse. Clearly it was obvious something wasnt right but yet dumb people like this just walk off and think not my problem. There is no excuse they got up and let people walk right by to get on a ride when they just felt and heard a bang that they knew wasnt part of the ride. People need to be shamed for being so stupid these days. Then he does a interview? Pretty pathetic 5 mins of fame.
