'''Six Flags Magic Mountain''', formerly known and colloquially referred to as simply '''Magic Mountain''', is a {{convert|209|acre|ha|adj=on}} [[amusement park]] located in [[Valencia, California]], {{convert|35|mi|km}} northwest of [[downtown Los Angeles]]. It opened on May 29, 1971, as a development of the [[Newhall Land and Farming Company]] and [[SeaWorld|Sea World Inc]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Worden |first=Leon |date=2019 |title=SR9602 {{!}} Magic Mountain {{!}} Initial Construction, 1969. |url=https://scvhistory.com/scvhistory/sr9602.htm |website=SCVHistory.com}}</ref> In 1979, [[Six Flags]] purchased the park and added "Six Flags" to the park's name.

==History==
[[Image:SixFlagsmagicMountain.JPG|thumb|Six Flags Magic Mountain from [[Interstate 5]]]]
[[File:SFMM- Grand Carousel 2.JPG|thumb|right|Grand Carousel is a family friendly ride located in the Six Flags Plaza area.]]
[[File:SFMM- Jet Stream 1.JPG|thumb|right|[[Jet Stream (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Jet Stream]] is a family friendly flume ride located near the entrance to Gold Rusher. The ride opened in 1972.]]
In 1968, [[Sea World Inc.]] founder [[George Millay]] and his executives began looking for a place in the [[Los Angeles]] county to build a theme park. Knowing that [[Newhall Land and Farming Company]] had enough undeveloped land in the new town of [[Valencia, California|Valencia]], he asked CEO John F. Dickason if they could build a theme park. They eventually formed a partnership to build a 200-acre theme park. Construction began in November 1969, until May 1971.

When the park opened, there were 500 employees and 33 attractions, many of which were designed and built by [[Arrow Development]] that did previous work on attractions at [[Disneyland]]. The admission price in 1971 was $5 for adults, and $3.50 for children between the ages of 3 and 12. Because the park was in a relatively remote part of Los Angeles County at the time, the [[Greyhound Lines|Greyhound bus line]] provided bus service to and from the park and Los Angeles, as well as from Northern California, and optionally allowed purchase of park admission at the time the bus ticket was purchased.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.paul-robinson.us/index.php/2012/01/09/rtd?blog=6 | title = Remembering RTD and the "good old days" of cheap LA area public transit | date = January 9, 2012 | first = Paul | last = Robinson | work = Stories, Parables, and Long Items | access-date = February 4, 2013 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141129075956/http://www.paul-robinson.us/index.php/2012/01/09/rtd?blog=6 | archive-date = November 29, 2014}}</ref>

At its 1971 opening, the rides and attractions included [[Gold Rusher]], a steel coaster; the Log Jammer, a log flume; the [[Sky Tower (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Sky Tower]], an [[observation tower]]; Grand Prix, similar to Disneyland's Autopia ride; El Bumpo, bumper boats; a [[Carousel]]; and other smaller rides. There were four transportation rides to the peak. Funicular, a [[cable railway]] or [[funicular]], which was renamed Orient Express, then Helpful Honda Express, and is currently named Magic Mover. The Metro, which consisted of three monorail stations around the park: Whitewater Lake, Country Fair, and Mountain stations. "Eagles Flight", a gondola lift ride that had two stations at the peak, the long one north to Galaxy Station, and the short one west to El Dorado Station.  The Showcase Theater (renamed Golden Bear Theater), was part of the original park and featured [[Barbra Streisand]] as the first of many headline performers who would appear at Magic Mountain over the years.

In the 1971 season, Magic Mountain obtained permission from [[Warner Bros.]] to use ''[[Looney Tunes]]''/''[[Merrie Melodies]]'' characters. However, they did not continue using the characters after their first year (another Six Flags park [[Six Flags Great America|Great America]] has continuously used such characters since its opening in 1976, eight years before [[Marriott Corporation]] sold the park to Six Flags.) In 1972, they began using trolls as the park mascots. The trolls King Blop, also known as King Troll, Bleep, Bloop, and the Wizard became recognizable symbols of Magic Mountain. All King Productions, a contractor, provided the entertainers wearing the costumes until December 31, 1972, when Magic Mountain took on that role. The characters were used until 1985. Also in 1972, a second flume ride named [[Jet Stream (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Jet Stream]] was added.

In 1973, the park added its second roller coaster, the Mountain Express, a compact [[Anton Schwarzkopf|Schwarzkopf]] Wildcat model steel coaster.  In 1974, the park also installed a new complex of spinning rides in what would later be known as Back Street. The new additions consisted of the Himalaya, Electric Rainbow, and Tumble Drum. In 1975, the Grand Centennial Railway opened in the Back Street. It took riders on a train journey to Spillikin Corners and back.

===The Coaster Revolution===
[[File:SFMM- Roaring Rapids 2.JPG|thumb|Roaring Rapids is a river rafting water ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain.]]
With the opening of [[The New Revolution (roller coaster)|Great American Revolution]] in 1976, Magic Mountain became the first park in the world to have a modern, 360-degree steel looping coaster (though previous roller coasters with loops had been built and dismantled elsewhere due to safety issues). When it was built, there was very little in the way of surrounding brush. In the time since, the tracks are surrounded by trees and bushes, which prevents the riders from knowing the track layout beforehand. [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] filmed part of the suspense film [[Rollercoaster (1977 film)|''Rollercoaster'']] at Magic Mountain in late-1976, which featured the Revolution as its centerpiece during the film's climax.
[[File:SFMM- Colossus 2.JPG|thumb|Colossus was a wooden roller coaster which opened in 1978.]]
In 1978, [[Colossus (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Colossus]], at the time the fastest, largest dual-tracked wooden coaster, opened. Following its first season, it was closed and extensively redone. When it reopened, it was a much smoother ride. In 1991, the camel hump before the last, or third, turn was replaced by a block brake. Though it decreased the speed of the ride after this particular brake, it did allow three trains to run per side at a time, greatly increasing capacity. One of the trains sometimes ran backwards for a few years in the mid-80s. However, until the late 1990s this kind of ride was no longer possible due to the newer ride system in place, as well as different trains. During ''Fright Fest'', the park runs one side backwards using a set of trains acquired from the now demolished [[Psyclone (roller coaster)|Psyclone]] which was located on the other side of the park. In 2015, the coaster was re-tracked with steel tracking and several inversions were added to the coaster. It was subsequently rebranded "[[Twisted Colossus]]". This renovation was completed by [[Rocky Mountain Construction]].

===Six Flags era===
[[File:Goliath drop.JPG|thumb|left|The opening drop on [[Goliath (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Goliath]]. Goliath featured the longest drop on a closed circuit roller coaster when it opened in February 2000.]]
In 1979, the park was sold to Six Flags and became known as Six Flags Magic Mountain. In 1981, Six Flags Magic Mountain introduced a ride that was on the West Coast for the first time called [[Roaring Rapids]]. It was developed by [[Intamin]] in conjunction with the now defunct [[Six Flags Astroworld]], which had opened a similar ride in 1979. Along with Rapids came the completion of the midway near Spillikin Corners to link with Revolution's area. Finally, a complete circuit could be made around the park. It was originally designed as a dual-sided station, but only one was fully developed, and all that exists of the possible second side is a few supports. It uses large pumps to circulate water, and each of the two pumps can circulate {{convert|88,500|U.S.gal/min}}. The reservoir can hold {{convert|1.5|e6U.S.gal}} of water, and one of the innovations used on it was the introduction of guide boards to help eliminate jam ups.

In 1982, the attraction [[Freefall (ride)|Freefall]] was added. Also built by [[Intamin]], it was considered a cutting edge drop tower ride, if not strictly a "roller coaster". It simply ascends the tower and then drops down, with the track curving to horizontal, leaving riders on their backs. Others were built for other parks (some of which are Six Flags). Today, most of these rides are obsolete and have been removed. Some flat rides were added and others removed the next year.

In 1984, [[Sarajevo Bobsleds]] was erected. Yet another ride built by [[Intamin]], the coaster was basically a bobsled without ice and snow. The coaster was built in honor of the [[1984 Winter Olympics|1984 Olympics]]. [[Six Flags Great Adventure]] added a similar ride that same year. In 1986, [[Sarajevo Bobsleds]] was removed and now operates at [[Six Flags Over Texas]] as [[La Vibora]]. The other bobsled was moved to [[Six Flags Great America]] and later to [[The Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor|The Great Escape]] in [[Queensbury, New York]], where it operates as [[Alpine Bobsled]].

In 1985, Children's World was rethemed as [[Bugs Bunny]] World, as Magic Mountain had abandoned the Trolls in favor of Warner Bros.' ''Looney Tunes''/''Merrie Melodies'' characters. That year, [[Michael Jackson]] visited the park, riding rides such as Colossus, Revolution and Roaring Rapids. In 1986, the park added a steel stand-up looping roller coaster called [[Batman The Escape|Shockwave]] also designed by Intamin. This coaster was located in the back of the park replacing Sarajevo Bobsleds. At the end of 1988, the coaster was removed as part of a ride rotation program and went to Six Flags Great Adventure in 1990. It was removed from there in 1992 and was repainted white and rethemed upon its removal to [[Six Flags Astroworld]]. There it was known as Batman The Escape. When Astroworld closed in 2005, the ride would be in storage at [[Darien Lake]], where it remained until 2018 when it was finally sold for scrap.

In 1987, the park re-themed the Back Street. Spinning flat rides were renamed Turbo (Electric Rainbow), Subway (Himalaya), and Reactor (Enterprise). The dance club was rethemed as well, and located near Reactor. After Hours, as it was now called (formerly Decibels), for one summer stayed open later than the rest of the park. It, along with Back Street, would stay open an additional two hours as a place for locals to hang out. This format lasted one season.

In 1988, [[Ninja (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Ninja]], "The Black Belt of Roller Coasters", opened. Built by [[Arrow Dynamics]], it was the first [[suspended swing roller coaster]] on the West coast. Ninja has gone through very few changes since it was opened in 1988; evidently only the wheels and paint have been changed.
[[File:SFMM- Tidal Wave 1.JPG|thumb|Tidal Wave was a Shoot the Chute water ride, featuring a {{Convert|50|ft|adj=on}} splashdown into a large body of water.]]
Tidal Wave opened in 1989. It is a short, wet ride featuring a large boat that travels up a low-angled incline to a level water trough. The trough, in the shape of a semicircle, ends in a steep drop into a large splashpool. The impact displaces large amounts of water on its riders. The ride's exit ramp crosses over the splashpool, allowing willing patrons leaving the ride to get soaked from the splash. The attraction was closed to make room for Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage in 2020.

[[File:Six Flags Magic Mountain Viper and X2 from Sky Tower cropped version.jpg|thumb|left|Viper, seen in the foreground, was constructed in the park in 1990.]]

In 1990, [[Viper (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Viper]], a multiple looping coaster designed by [[Arrow Dynamics]], opened. It features a {{convert|188|ft|m|adj=on}} drop, speeds up to {{convert|70|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}, 3 [[Inclined loop|vertical loops]], a batwing turn that inverts riders twice, and a double corkscrew.

In 1991, Magic Mountain added [[Psyclone (roller coaster)|Psyclone]], modeled after the [[Coney Island Cyclone]]. The Spillikin Corners area of the park was re-themed as Cyclone Bay to suit the new coaster, drawing guests into this area. The change was largely cosmetic, as the earlier theme relied on retail establishments that had been removed previously. The Glass Blower had been replaced by the Shooting Gallery, and the Candy Kitchen viewing area was redesigned. With Psyclone, the crowds returned. Due to the 1994 Northridge earthquake, Psyclone's structure was damaged, and the ride was eventually removed in 2007. After adding Ninja, Viper, and Psyclone within 4 years, the park was getting a large repertoire of big roller coasters.

The next year, 1992, a coaster built by Intamin called [[Flashback (roller coaster)|Flashback]] was added. This one-of-a-kind ride, originally planned to be enclosed in a building, had already operated at [[Six Flags Great America]] and [[Six Flags Over Georgia]] prior to its arrival. Very steep, short drops were designed to make riders feel like they were "diving" down in a plane, and it ended in a 540 degree upward spiral. But, because of the shoulder harnesses, riders were subjected to a lot of head banging. This coaster rarely ran by 1996 (it created too much noise for the nearby water park) and on January 23, 2007, the park announced that Flashback would be removed along with Psyclone. The park also stated that Flashback might be re-built elsewhere within the park for 2008 but the ride was finally scrapped at the end of 2007.

===Time Warner era===
In 1993, Six Flags Magic Mountain entered the Time Warner era.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1993-09-21/business/fi-37629_1_time-warner |title=Time Warner Completes Six Flags Purchase – Los Angeles Times |newspaper=Los Angeles Times }}</ref> The new ride for the year was Yosemite Sam Sierra Falls. It was a water ride that has two twisting tubes that riders could slide down in using a raft. Also that year, there was re-theming and High Sierra Territory was opened. The Showcase Theatre became Golden Bear Theater, the Animal Star Theatre was created in Bugs Bunny World, and a large, fake, wooden tree was built. This year also saw the end of live non-Christian themed concerts in the park due to the riot that broke out as a result of a [[TLC (group)|TLC]] concert that was oversold. Magic Mountain was quickly overwhelmed by large crowds that vandalized and destroyed property. Park shops had their windows broken and looting quickly followed. Police were called to the scene in full riot gear. The park was evacuated and closed down for the night.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1993-04-19/local/me-24654_1_magic-mountain |title=Magic Mountain Reopens After Melees – Los Angeles Times |newspaper=Los Angeles Times }}</ref>

In 1994, Magic Mountain added what two other Six Flags parks already had, a [[Bolliger & Mabillard]] inverted looping roller coaster called [[Batman: The Ride]] (which other Six Flags parks also added in the coming years). Batman: The Ride (BTR) is an inverted coaster, meaning the usual coaster protocol is reversed; the track is overhead and the cars are below it. The trains travel on the outside of the loops, and rider's legs hang freely, as on a ski lift.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-03-26-ca-38648-story.html|title=Batman Scales the Mountain : Gotham City Area, Roller Coaster Are Largest Expansion in Magic Mountain’s 23-Year History}}</ref>

[[File:SFMM- Sign 2.JPG|thumb|Signs to nearby rides and other attractions]]
A separately gated waterpark called [[Six Flags Hurricane Harbor]] opened on June 16, 1995.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-05-21-ss-4115-story.html|title=Summer Splash : Magic Mountain Reaches Out to the Wet Set : The company will open a $35-million water theme park next door to its Valencia site in June.

A dual launch coaster called [[Superman: Escape From Krypton|Superman: The Escape]] debuted at the park on March 15, 1997. Designed by [[Intamin]], the 30-second ride launches riders from 0 to {{Convert|100|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} in seven seconds on a track that scales up a 41-story tower. It was the first roller coaster in the world to reach speeds of {{Convert|100|mph|km/h}}. Originally slated to open in June 1996, the ride's opening was delayed and pushed back to 1997 as problems with the LSM launch motors were found. The tower structure was painted a grayish white when the ride first opened and lasted until 2011.

[[File:SFMM- Riddler's Revenge 5.JPG|thumb|The [[The Riddler's Revenge|Riddler's Revenge]] is a [[stand-up roller coaster]] which features 6 inversions.]]
In 1998, a new Bolliger & Mabillard [[Stand-up roller coaster]] called [[Riddler's Revenge]] opened as the tallest and fastest stand-up roller coaster in the world.

===Premier Parks era===
Also in 1998, Six Flags was sold to Premier Parks. The next year saw no dramatic changes. In 2000, a steel [[hypercoaster]], [[Goliath (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Goliath]], was added. It was built by [[Giovanola]].

2001 was to be the year of three new roller coasters, but only one actually opened on time: [[Goliath Jr.]], a steel kiddie coaster. The other two, [[Giant Inverted Boomerang|Déjà Vu]] and [[X² (roller coaster)|X]] (now X²), had mechanical problems. Déjà Vu opened late in 2001 and X opened early in 2002. Déjà Vu was designed by [[Vekoma]] and is a Giant Inverted Boomerang coaster (GIB), a variant of their popular [[Boomerang (roller coaster)|Boomerang]] design. It is an inverted coaster with coaches suspended beneath an overhead track that traverses an open-circuit track forward and in reverse and features two completely vertical drops and three inversions. After its late opening, the ride still suffered a lot of downtime. X was designed by Arrow Dynamics, as the world's first "fourth-dimensional" roller coaster. It was the only one in North America where riders experience going 360 degrees in their seats. Each seat lies on a separate axis from the track. This coaster managed to open briefly on January 12, 2002, only to close due to more technical problems. It reopened late in August of that year. The ride closed for a major refurbishment and re-theme in 2008 where X transformed into X².

In 2003, [[Scream (roller coaster)|Scream]], designed by Bolliger & Mabillard was added. At this point, Six Flags Magic Mountain tied with [[Cedar Point]] for the park with the most roller coasters in the United States. Scream is similar in concept with [[Medusa (Six Flags Discovery Kingdom)|Medusa]] at [[Six Flags Discovery Kingdom]] and is a mirror image of [[Medusa (Six Flags Great Adventure)|Medusa]] at [[Six Flags Great Adventure]]. It is a [[floorless roller coaster]] with trains riding above the rails traversing seven inversions on {{convert|3985|ft|m}} of track on floorless trains. In 2006, [[Tatsu]], a Bolliger & Mabillard [[flying roller coaster]] was added, causing a temporary closure of Revolution and Roaring Rapids to allow construction to take place. It was much larger than the other three Bolliger & Mabillard Flying Coasters at other Six Flags parks, all named [[Superman: Ultimate Flight]].  Tatsu has a suspended-track orientation featuring vehicles that recline passengers with their backs against the track and facing the ground. This brought the park up to 17 roller coasters, to tie with Cedar Point for the greatest number of roller coasters in a park (albeit Flashback had been standing but not operating for an extended period of time and thus it is debatable whether the park could claim 17 as its number of roller coasters).

===2006 attempted sale===
On June 22, 2006, Six Flags, Inc. announced that it was exploring options for six of its parks, including Magic Mountain and its neighboring water park, [[Six Flags Hurricane Harbor|Hurricane Harbor]]. Though management said closing the park was unlikely, rumors still began that the park could be sold to real estate developers, with an intent to close the park and build housing developments in the area.<ref>{{cite press release | publisher=Business Wire |date=June 22, 2006 | title=Six Flags to Explore Strategic Options for Six Properties – Buffalo, Concord, Denver, Seattle, Houston and Los Angeles; Company Provides Mid-Quarter Update on Operations | url=http://investors.sixflags.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=61629&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=875468&highlight= | access-date=June 27, 2006}}</ref> Park officials cited dwindling attendance due to rowdy behavior among some of the park-goers as reasons for wanting to sell the park while management was wanting to move Six Flags into more of a family park direction.<ref>{{cite web|first=Lance |last=Hart |url=http://www.screamscape.com/html/six_flags_magic_mountain.htm |title=Six Flags Magic Mountain |publisher=Screamscape.com |date=May 4, 2007 }}</ref> Throughout the Six Flags chain, attendance in the second quarter of 2006 was 14 percent lower than it was in the second quarter of 2005.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.the-signal.com/?module=displaystory&story_id=31912&format=html | url-status = dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070224164921/http://www.the-signal.com/?module=displaystory&story_id=31912&format=html | archive-date=February 24, 2007 | title = Six Flags Posts 2Q Loss of $39.6 Mil. | first = Adam | last = Clark | date = August 3, 2006 | work = [[The Santa Clarita Valley Signal]]}}</ref>

By the fall of 2006, Six Flags announced that Magic Mountain was still up for sale. They also stated, however, that it would be sold to a company that would continue to operate it as a park, and that closing Magic Mountain was not a possibility. [[Cedar Fair]], [[Anheuser-Busch]], and several others considered buying the park but none of the offers came close to the asking price.

When Six Flags announced which parks it was selling in January 2007, Magic Mountain was no longer one of them. The company decided not to sell Magic Mountain and its adjacent water park. Spokeswoman Wendy Goldberg said that upon further evaluation, the company decided that the Los Angeles parks remained too valuable to relinquish, as sales were increasing, and that the park would not be sold. Other parks were sold as a package and remained open.

Roller coasters [[Flashback (roller coaster)|Flashback]] and [[Psyclone (roller coaster)|Psyclone]] were both removed in 2007, with Psyclone being demolished in February and Flashback remained standing until December of that year, when it was finally scrapped. As a result, Six Flags Magic Mountain no longer tied the record for the most roller coasters in a single park, relinquishing the record to [[Cedar Point]] – the park's total had never surpassed Cedar Point but had tied numerous times. The park began focusing more attention on marketing with family-oriented values, and a new children's theme area, [[Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends|Thomas Town]], was added in 2008. The park renovated one its thrill rides, however. "X" was closed on December 2 for its transformation into X2 which featured new fourth-generation trains, a new paint job, and special effects that included pyrotechnics and audio. It reopened on May 24, 2008. In the same year, the park began work on the "Magic of the Mountain" museum at the top of its Sky Tower attraction that contained memorabilia throughout the park's history including old television commercials, park maps, models, and equipment saved from defunct rides.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_8412730 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080304113622/http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_8412730 |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 4, 2008 |title=Teen creating some magic with his Six Flags museum – LA Daily News |newspaper=Daily News }}</ref>

[[Apocalypse: The Ride|Terminator Salvation: The Ride]], a wooden roller coaster, opened on May 23, 2009. It was built in the former location of [[Psyclone (roller coaster)|Psyclone]] and featured tunnels, spraying mist, and special effects.

==Cinema, television, and computer games==

Magic Mountain's proximity to downtown Los Angeles, the hub of the American film and television industry, has resulted in its appearance in several productions, usually representing a park other than itself. The debut of ''Revolution'' was the focal point of the 1977 release ''[[Rollercoaster (1977 film)|Rollercoaster]]''. [[Bob Einstein]], as his character [[Super Dave Osborne]], performed his first "stunt" on a roller coaster at Magic Mountain. In 1983, Magic Mountain became the fictional "Walley World" for ''[[National Lampoon's Vacation]]'', with scenes featuring ''Revolution'' and ''Colossus'' (each using fictional names). On television, Magic Mountain doubled as the theme park in the opening credits of the television series ''[[Step by Step (TV series)|Step by Step]]''. Other TV productions featuring Magic Mountain have included: [[NCIS (franchise)|NCIS]], ''[[Entourage (U.S. TV series)|Entourage]]'', ''[[The Bionic Woman]]'', ''[[The A-Team]]'', ''[[CHiPs]]'', ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]]'', ''[[Way Out Games]]'', ''[[Knight Rider (1982 TV series)|Knight Rider]]'', ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'', ''[[Melrose Place]]'', ''[[The King of Queens]]'', ''[[Fresh Off the Boat]]'', and ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. The band [[Kiss (band)|Kiss]] also filmed their acting debut in 1978's [[made-for-TV]] ''[[Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park]]'' that featured the band members in the park and near Colossus. In the 2000 movie ''[[Space Cowboys]]'' Donald Sutherland is shown riding Viper and is portrayed as the designer when Clint Eastwood recruits him.

Magic Mountain's Showcase Theatre was the filming location for the video game-themed game show ''[[The Video Game (game show)|The Video Game]]'' from September 1984 to September 1985.

Magic Mountain was also the filming location for the children's educational video series ''[[Real Wheels]]'' episode "Here Comes A Roller Coaster", with host [[Dave Hood]], which was released in 1995.

Magic Mountain was used as a filming site for the 1990 ''[[Kidsongs]]'' video, "Ride the Roller Coaster".

Colossus was filmed as the Serpent in the movie in the ''[[My Life (film)]]'' back in 1993.

Colossus was used for filming for the 1995 ''[[Muppets]]'' video, ''Muppets on Wheels''.
In the [[Nickelodeon]] show ''[[Drake & Josh]]'', Drake, Josh, and Megan take a trip to Mystic Mountain (parody of Magic Mountain) in the episode "The Demonator", and they ride the "Demonator". On ''[[Zoey 101]]'' Zoey and Lisa take Michael to Mystic Mountain (both series were created by [[Dan Schneider (TV producer)|Dan Schneider]]), and they help Michael overcome his roller coaster fear in the episode "Rollercoaster". He rides the "Spine Twister", which was actually the [[Goliath (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Goliath]] from Magic Mountain. In 1990, Nickelodeon's ''[[Wild and Crazy Kids]]'', the wooden roller coaster, Colossus, was featured as a game called "Wacky RollerCoaster Spill". In the movie ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]'', the band performs as second billing to a puppet show at the fictional "Themeland Amusement Park" in [[Stockton, California]], located {{convert|300|mi|km}} north of Santa Clarita. The actual filming location is Magic Mountain's amphitheater. The [[Kidsongs]] video ''Ride the Roller Coaster'' is set at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Nick Cannon group ''[[The School Gyrls]]'' movie premiere was at Magic Mountain. In the film ''[[Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer]]'', they go to a theme park and ride a roller coaster for the first time. The coaster was Goliath. Goliath was also featured as the "Aquaman" roller coaster in the third season of the [[HBO]] series ''[[Entourage (U.S. TV series)|Entourage]]''.

In 2011, the park was chosen as the setting for the [[Travel Channel]]'s version of the quiz show ''[[Scream! If You Know the Answer]]''. The ''[[Glee (TV series)|Glee]]'' cast visited the park in 2012 for their senior skip day in the "[[Big Brother (Glee)|Big Brother]]" episode, where they ride [[Viper (Six Flags Magic Mountain)|Viper]].<ref name="Glee">{{cite web|title=Six Flags Magic Mountain has a cameo appearance ...|url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150799927722125&set=a.111563082124.115580.67502107124&type=1 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/67502107124/10150799927722125 |archive-date=2022-02-26 |url-access=limited|author=Six Flags Magic Mountain|publisher=Facebook|date=April 10, 2012|access-date=April 10, 2012}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In 2013, a large section of the parking lot was blocked off for a Toyota Camry commercial. Both pictures and the background footage reveal Goliath and Colossus, indicating that it is Magic Mountain where the commercial was shot. The ride that was built for the commercial bears a resemblance to the park's new coaster at the time, Full Throttle: a big hill, a barrier-test loop, a backwards propulsion section, and a forwards propulsion section that runs through a tunnel placed next to the hill.<ref name="ToyotaCommercial">{{cite web |author=Dahlin, Kurt |date=1 October 2013 |title=Toyota Camry Thrill Ride At Six Flags Magic Mountain |url=http://www.thecoasterguy.com/index.php/2013/10/01/toyota-camry-thrill-ride-six-flags-magic-mountain/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211208223736/http://www.thecoasterguy.com/2013/10/01/toyota-camry-thrill-ride-six-flags-magic-mountain/ |archive-date=8 December 2021 |access-date=19 February 2014 |work=thecoasterguy.com}}</ref>

In 2016, Goliath was used for a [[Carpool Karaoke]] segment with [[Selena Gomez]].

In 2017, the park and [[Full Throttle (roller coaster)|Full Throttle]] were used in the filming of the music video for [[Katy Perry]]'s "[[Chained to the Rhythm]]".

In 2017, areas of the park were used in the filming of the Netflix comedy ''[[Sandy Wexler]]'' starring [[Adam Sandler]].

In 2021, some areas of the park were used in the filming of the Netflix comedy [[Yes Day]].

Although not featured, Magic Mountain is mentioned numerous times in the Netflix horror-comedy  ''[[Santa Clarita Diet]]''.

A recreation of Magic Mountain was featured built in the computer game ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'', including both a blank version of the park with no rides and attractions and a version of the park as it stood at the game's release in 2002.
