Independence Day is more than just a holiday, it’s the ultimate American tradition. July 3 - 5, Six Flags Magic Mountain is the premiere destination to celebrate our country, enjoy the summer, and share great times with friends. Operation Homefront Beginning Friday, July 3, Six Flags Magic Mountain will pay tribute to and host selected Armed Service members and their families through Operation Homefront. The Valencia theme park will present Operation Homefront with a donation and the families will receive a VIP Tour for the day. Operation Homefront provides financial and other assistance to the families of service members and wounded warriors. Since its inception in 2002, Operation Homefront has met more than 742,000 needs of military families and has provided more than $175 million of funding to programs benefitting military families. Ride The Biggest Thrills of The Summer July 4th is the peak of the summer, so why not celebrate it from the top of the world! Six Flags' tallest looping coaster Full Throttle is just one of the world class thrill machines daring you to race the wind! And there’s nothing more refreshing on a warm day than taking a ride on a classic coaster like the family-favorite, Gold Rusher. Even little kids can get in on the action with Six Flags’ incredible pint-sized rides, hosted by your favorite Looney Tunes characters. Star-Spangled Nighttime Pyro Show! It wouldn’t be July 4th without a festive pyrotechnic show! You’ll be dazzled by brilliant colors nightly throughout Six Flags’ July 4th weekend celebration with a musical salute featuring bands in the Park throughout the day capped off each evening with a dazzling star-spangled nighttime pyrotechnics show set to patriotic music. Coca-Cola® Fourth of July Fest Can't get more American than Coca-Cola® and Six Flags! That's why we are offering Exclusive Ride Time from 9:30-10:30 a.m. on at least four separate rides before the park opens on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th!

The Guys in Blue are Taking over Fridays this Summer with Free Parking and Early Admission to Six Flags’ NEW Twisted Colossus ride, Exclusively for Honda Drivers WHAT: It’s going to be a helpful summer for Honda drivers visiting Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA all summer long through August 28th. And, the SoCal Honda Dealers are excited to announce that thrill seeking Honda drivers will receive early entry to Magic Mountain’s brand new Twisted Colossus ride this summer on select #HelpfulFridays: June 26th, July 31st and August 28th! The new ride is the world’s longest hybrid rollercoaster, lasting 4 minutes with a 116 foot drop at an astonishing 80 degrees. Early admission to the park is a helpful perk to avoid long lines on the best and newest rides. With this exclusive treat, Honda drivers will be admitted an hour before the park opens to the public. This could mean riding the NEW Twisted Colossus more than once without a long wait. You can’t miss out! Helpfulness for Everyone! Running out of cell phone battery? Trying to save money? Overheating in the hot SoCal sun? No fear! The Guys in Blue are here to help everyone (not just Honda drivers)! SoCal Honda cell-phone charging stations are located conveniently around the park. The Guys in Blue will be roaming around the park surprising guests with complimentary Bugs Bunny Bucks, cooling misters, SPF lip balm, and much more! They are also there to help give directions and take family photos (no selfie stick needed). Just spot the guys in blue polos for any help you may need. WHY: With the success of #HelpfulFridays at several locations including Six Flags –like Dodgers and Angels home games -- the Guys in Blue are back with their Random Acts of Helpfulness for thrill-seekers. This is another way the SoCal Honda Dealers are lending a hand in the community. Because it’s really their job to be helpful! WHERE & WHEN:
For more information about #HelpfulFridays at Six Flags including additional dates and exclusive entry to rides such as X2, Tatsu, Superman, and more, visit: https://www.facebook.com/SoCalHondaDealers/events?ref=page_internal We'll start off with a fun video of the Gold Passholder walk-back to the ride. It was about 5 minutes long, but that was boring. So we sped it up and added some Yakety Sax. Plus we took a look at the estimated 3 hour line. After letting us into the park via the side entrance near Will-Call, they held all of the Gold Passholders near Vault 666. Written, Photographed and Video'd by Gregg Condon Five visits to Six Flags Magic Mountain in one week, there's got to be a good reason to visit a park that much, and fortunately this week there is. =) We headed back up to the park today to take in opening day. No ceremony was held, but the park was packed, the ride was amazing and once again the staff of the park showed what they can do when teamwork is the name of the game. Because one can apparently never have enough pictures of Full Throttle ... =) And they're off!!! Still a few things to be done. So the line stopped just past the Screampunk District sign, but they quickly filled up the queue building and the line that goes down towards Scream. They were also giving out boarding passes today. Oh yeah, Scream is back open ... "Thanks for rememberin' me" They gave out some awesome "I Rode First" buttons at the exit. At the end of the video above (under Superman) it was an estimated 3 hour wait. They conceded that it may have been 2 1/2, but better to tell people 3 hours and have it be shorter. =) So it's been awhile since we've actually walked out into the park, seriously, even though we've been at the park a LOT over the last month, today was the first day we ventured outside of Screampunk District since April. Soooo ... what's going on? Looks like at least one Jet Stream Boat is getting some TLC, this looked great from up close on the ride. But of course, we aren't going to take pictures from the ride now are we. =) Hoping this is just the first of many re-done boats. What, a theme park that actually goes all out for Grad Night and does decorations? =) Full Throttle Nights is back ... TONIGHT!!! Swashbuckler looks VERY close to being back open, and looks great. Goliath, still closed. Today was Jubilee, always one of the busiest days of the year. Need to try these, hopefully they are still around on our next visit. And with that, our Twisted Colossus updates have come to an official end. Hats off to the entire RMC and Six Flags Magic Mountain crew for creating an amazing ride that seems to be loved by all. This truly is the coaster the park has needed for a LONG time. High capacity, high fun and high repeatability. We're most likely going to be taking a bit of a break from the park, it's Hurricane Harbor Season so we'll likely have an update from there in the next week or two, but it may be longer, just depends. Family obligations are going to take priority for awhile. But that doesn't mean we won't be doing anything, you'll just have to wait and see what we've got in store. =) If you enjoyed this update please share with your friends and make sure you "like" us on Facebook and "follow" us on Twitter and Instagram.
