Six Flags

Published on
Welcome to an all new update from Six Flags Magic Mountain. Our first since April. We had anticipated at least a little bit of progress on the rumored coaster for 2026, but honestly the site looks kind of abandoned at the moment. In fact, there is less construction equipment on site now than there was 3 months ago. Still, there's quite a bit to check out at the park including some prep for Fright Fest. 

I've also got some thoughts on Ninja in the update video below, and it sadly isn't good.

Welcome to Six Flags Magic Mountain. No, this isn't May or June. This is the middle of July. And it's only 75 degrees. In Santa Clarita (technically the desert). Sadly, I think the weather is going to pay us back for this very mild summer just around the time Halloween Season starts.

A long overdue project, a new wall has been built between the walkway and Hurricane Harbor. It looks fantastic. However, just like Magic Mountain to take 2 steps forward and 1 step back. It would have been nice to see them repave the walkway while they were busy working over here.

The entry plaza is looking fantastic!

A hopeful good sign of things to come. Yes, trash cans can be a good sign. Love these throwbacks.

Picture

Rode Full Throttle for the first time in awhile (since it was actually open with the park)

Picture

They also have guests stand back from the gates now while the coaster launches. Probably a good thing. Also, I volunteer to come powerwash the station!

Project 2026? 

Picture

Let's take a look at what is supposedly the site for the parks 2026 attraction.

Doesn't look like much going on at all.

To compare, here are some pics from April.

Picture

There was construction equipment visible in April that is now gone, or at least not visible.

Picture

Back to yesterday, just lots of dirt and stairs and seats. We'll continue to keep an eye on this spot, and of course if there is an announcement we will certainly be covering it.

Fright Fest 2025!

Picture

Now to something that's actually happening, it's getting close to Fright Fest time! The Facade for SAW is gone, and this doesn't look "Saw" like at all.

Picture

In fact, it looks almost like a Mansion. Hmm ...

Picture

It has been about 13 years since Willoughby's 2.0 was unveiled. Maybe a sequel is coming down here?

Picture

However, considering what a staple Willioughby's is at Fright Fest, not sure if I can see them doing it in a pop-up tent and not a more permanent structure.

Picture

Further back, Trick r' Treat is completely gone, and will likely not be returning. Unless it's going to another location. I can think of a few prime locations for it. =)

Picture

Some of the signage for Army of the Dead is still in The Underground, but when we rode Apocalypse in April it seemed they were removing some of the maze.

Picture

Nothing visible on Willoughby's yet. But it's still early.

Picture

Likewise, nothing going on with Sewer of Souls. Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update. Hope you enjoyed and we hope to see you at Midsummer Scream in just a few weeks!
