Teens and adults love Magic Mountain's huge & scary roller coasters---the biggest collection of thrill ride fun in the western USA! Children and families enjoy the wide variety of family rides the whole group may enjoy together, as well as a large kiddie land full of rides and attractions for kids & their parents. Of course, you'll enjoy your visit even MORE if you save money by getting your theme park tickets at a discount!
What discounts are available for Six Flags Magic Mountain?
Coupons, print-at-home discounts...and more!
How much do Six Flags Magic Mountain tickets cost if you purchase them at the park's ticket booths? Adult tickets (and this means all guests over 48" tall) cost 61.99, and kid's tickets cost $36.99. But don't worry---with a bit of advance-planning, you can slash those prices to shreds! Here's a list of ways you can save money if you do a bit of thinking ahead---1.) Print at Home discounts: The Magic Mountain print-at-home discount currently lets you buy tickets at a substantial discount. It's unbelievable how much money you can save simply by printing your ticket at home before you leave for the theme park! You may use the following link to check out the current print-at-home discounts on the SixFlags.com website. Note: the print-at-home ticket prices can change without any advanced warning from Magic Mountain; they reserve the right to change ticket prices at any time.
2.) AAA's ticket savings: Members of the AAA (American Automobile Association) can get a discount through the AAA's "Show your card and save" program. At times, even cheaper ticket deals are available through the AAA. Contact your local office before heading to the park to check the latest offers. Or, you may check online at www.AAA.com
4.) Coke can discount time HAS ENDED! The last day to use your Coke can discount at Magic Mountain was on October 16th, 2011. Sorry if you missed it...but the Coke discount will probably be running again beginning sometime during Spring, 2012.
5.) Group discounts: To get group discounts at Magic Mountain, you only need to have 10 people in your party. The cost of Magic Mountain group discount tickets is currently $25.50. They're available on the SixFlags.com website. (Note: all of the tickets must be purchased together on one order to get this discount.) And, if you've got a really large group, there's even better news: you'll get one free "chaperone" ticket for every 15 group tickets thay you purchase!
Can you get group discounts at the Magic Mountain ticket windows? Yes, you can; however, your discount is simply better when you plan ahead & purchase them online before your Six Flags visit. At the park's own ticket windows, group tickets cost $29.99. That's still a wonderful deal, of course; just not quite as cheap as ordering ahead. If you have questions, the Group Tickets phone number at Magic Mountain is (661) 255-4500.
Ways to get FREE Magic Mountain tickets
Free ticket dates at Six Flags Magic Mountain: Several times per year, you can get free tickets!
There are several times during the year that you can get free admission to Magic Mountain...IF you make a charitable donation, that is! The "Walk in the Park" fundraiser is every June; then, several free dates happen in late Fall each year, right around the holidays.
1.) Walk in the Park: (over for 2011, but will likely return next year.) You can help the Children's Miracle Network raise money to help children with life-threatening illnesses when you join Magic Mountain's "Walk in the Park." For 2011, that date was June 25th. (Note: you must pre-register by the deadline which is usually a couple of days before the event; you can't just show up at Magic Mountain for this event.) How do you join in the fun? First, you pre-register online; there's a $15 entry fee to do this (which covers the cost of the special T-Shirt and gift bag that you'll receive.)
So, how do you get your free ticket to Magic Mountain? You will need to raise $50 from your friends and family members who become the "sponsors" of your walk; this money will be donated to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Then, your FREE Magic Mountain ticket will be given to you on the day of the walk at the Walker Registration area. Your free Six Flags Magic Mountain ticket will ONLY be valid on the day of the walk. What happens if you raise money for the charity, but it's less than $50? You will be able to get a special discount coupon to enjoy the theme park at a discounted admission price. To discover further information, here's the Walk in the Park FAQ's page, where you'll find out all the details about this important community fund raiser.
2.) Bag a Ticket day: Right around Thanksgiving every year, Magic Mountain will give you a free ticket to the theme park if you bring one full bag of non-perishable groceries. This means canned, packaged and boxed goods...no fresh foods such as meat, milk, or veggies---and no glass containers, either. You must use your free Magic Mountain ticket on the day that the Bag A Ticket program is running. Bag a Ticket day for 2011 was on Wednesday, November 23rd. Expect the 2012 date to be released just after Halloween.
3.) Toys for the Holidays program: Every year, Magic Mountain will give you free admission near Christmas time in return for donating a toy to a needy child. In 2011, the Toys for the Holidays free dates were the first 2 weekends in December---Saturday & Sunday, Dec. 3 & 4, and 10 & 11. Similar dates will probably be announced for 2012; the dates are usually announced not long after Bag A Ticket day is over.
How does this program work? Guests are able to get FREE admission tickets to Six Flags Magic Mountain by donating a brand new toy costing $20 or more to help poor children have a merry Christmas. WHAT KIND OF TOY? Almost any toy that's non-breakable is fine. The important thing if you're planning on participating is to BE HONEST! You should REALLY spend $20 instead of trying to pass off a used toy or cheap toy. BRING YOUR RECEIPTS; they may be checked!
How many toys should you bring for this program? Each person who wants a free Magic Mountain admission ticket should bring a toy. Do not wrap the toys! This will be done by volunteers right before the toys are distributed to the recipients.
Magic Mountain Season Pass = great benefits!
Frequent Six Flags visitors save most by getting a 2012 season pass!
You'll get some VERY good benefits if you purchase a Six Flags Magic Mountain season pass. 2012 Season Passes are now being sold...and they may be used starting NOW, all the way through December 31, 2012!
One tremendous advantage of buying the season pass is that it's not only accepted for admission to Magic Mountain in Valencia/greater Los Angeles, but also for admission during ALL of 2012 to ALL of the Six Flags theme parks! (Note: the Hurricane Harbor water parks are NOT a part of the regular season pass benefits; just the theme parks are.)
Think about it---because the Six Flags chain owns so many parks (spread out all over North America), if you do any traveling at all during your vacation periods, you're bound to end up near to a Six Flags theme park! And then you'll be all set to enjoy a fun, free activity on your vacation!
LIST OF SIX FLAGS THEME PARKS: Here's a list of the 6 Flags theme parks where your Six Flags Magic Mountain season pass will be honored:
*Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (formerly called Six Flags Marine World,) Vallejo, California (Greater San Francisco)
*Six Flags over Georgia in greater Atlanta, Georgia
*Six Flags Great America in greater Chicago, Illinois
*Six Flags America, in the Baltimore, Maryland/Washington DC area
*Six Flags New England in Agawam (greater Springfield), Massachusetts
*Six Flags St. Louis, near St. Louis, Missouri
*Six Flags Great Adventure, in Jackson, New Jersey
*The Great Escape, at Lake George, New York
*Six Flags over Texas, in Arlington, Texas (between Dallas and Ft. Worth)
*Six Flags Fiesta Texas, in San Antonio, Texas
*Six Flags Mexico City, in Mexico City, Mexico
*La Ronde, in Montreal, Canada
Restrictions: The Magic Mountain Season Pass CAN'T be used at Six Flags water parks (unless you're going to a 6 Flags location which offers a free water park as part of its list of rides & attractions--like Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio does), or at American Adventures in Atlanta, Georga. Also, if you've used your season pass in past years at the following theme parks, you'll no longer be able to use them there--as these 4 parks have been sold: Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado; Darien Lake in Buffalo, NY; Wild Waves in Seattle, WA; and Frontier City in Oklahoma City, OK. Also, sad to say, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom is no longer open, so season passes may no longer be used at that park.
MAGIC MOUNTAIN SEASON PASS COUPON BOOK: When you purchase a Six Flags Season Pass (whether it's at Magic Mountain...or at any of the chain's other locations) you get a very good coupon book for season pass holders with it. (These will be available for you to pick up at the park in the spring of 2012.) The 2012 coupons haven't yet been announced, but they'll probably be similar to the 2011 coupons...including the popular "free friends" coupons. Here's a list of the "Free Friend" dates in 2011; you can take advantage of these dates ONLY if you are a season pass holder & have your 2011 coupon book:
* FREE Magic Mountain ticket for a friend (4 "Free Friend" coupons; selected dates every month from March to December, 2011.) You need to attend the park WITH your friend, by the way. If you need to know the exact dates of covered by the Free Friend special discount, you may check that out on the Value Book page of the Six Flags Magic Mountain website.
What other types of coupons will you find in your Annual Pass Holder discount book? There are also---
* 1/2 Price Six Flags ticket for a friend; good at any 6 Flags theme park (1 coupon)
* Discount Magic Mountain admission coupons for a friend (selected dates; 4 coupons) Once you've used up your "free friend" coupons, you still have some "cheap friend ticket" coupons to use.
* FREE admission to Hurricane Harbor (selected dates; 1 coupon)
* Cheap Hurricane Harbor admission coupon good any day of the water park's operating season; 1 coupon
* Meal/snack discount coupons for Magic Mountain
* Magic Mountain merchandise coupons
* Magic Mountain photo coupons
* Extra-fee attraction discounts (good on go karts or sky coaster)
* Game discount coupons if you like to test your skills to win a prize
* List of pass holder-only specials for which you don't need a coupon. You can use these special offers as many times as you like. (These are additional discounts on photos, merchandise and games)
SEASON PASSES ONLINE: You may purchase Magic Mountain season passes on the ticketing page of the SixFlags.com website, where you may also find out further information, as well.
If you buy your season pass online, you will still have to process your pass at the theme park on your first visit there. It saves you the time of standing in line at the ticket booth if you get them ahead. You are also immune to any price increases, if there should be any.
Magic Mountain Flash Pass
Save time--jump ahead in line with a Flash Pass purchase!
MAGIC MOUNTAIN'S TIME-SAVING FLASH PASS: In addition to offering the Six Flags Play Pass, Magic Mountain also sells a way to save time at the park. The "Flash Pass," which costs $45 to $105 for 1 person, lets you skip long lines...legally, without getting ejected from the park for line-jumping! The Six Flags Magic Mountain Flash Pass will get you one day's use of their new electronic Flash Pass units (which recently replaced the old ticket system.)
Flash Pass "Regular"-- For the less expensive fee, you'll wait longer than if you pay the more expensive price. However, it's not really a bad length of time to wait if the park isn't too crowded.
Flash Pass "Gold"-- If you visit on a day when lines are very long, the more expensive option (Flash Pass "Gold") is the one that will make you happiest. Simply put, the extra fee buys you less waiting time. Also, you MUST pay the higher fee & get the Flash Pass Gold...AND pay an extra fee in addition...if you want to skip the lines for the ultra-popular X2 roller coaster.
Flash Pass "Platinum"--This pass lets you ride 2 consecutive times. It's like getting to ride twice the amount of rides for the same amount of walking and waiting time.
Which rides accept the Flash Pass? Here's the list of rides which accept the Flash Pass---
Roller coasters accepting the Flash Pass:
1.) Apocalypse (the roller coaster formerly known as Terminator Salvation)
2.) Batman, The Ride
3.) Colossus roller coaster
4.) Goldrusher roller coaster
5.) Goliath Roller Coaster
6.) Green Lantern: First Flight
7.) Ninja

9.) Riddler's Revenge
10.) Scream roller coaster

Other rides accepting Flash Passes:

Good multiple-attraction discount, the Los Angeles Go Card!
Magic Mountain is included in the LA Go Card program!
What is the Los Angeles Go Card? If you're unfamiliar with the Go Card discount plan (which operates in a number of cities throughout the USA,) it's an exciting way to see multiple attractions at discount rates. It's cutting-edge because Go Cards are the first plan where the purchasers gets to pick WHICH attractions they'll see...rather than the company producing the plan.
How does the Los Angeles Go Card work? There are about five dozen "member attractions" in LA, Orange and San Diego counties who accept the Los Angeles Go Card. You are free to pick and choose from among them, deciding which attractions you'll visit, and which you'll skip. You simply figure out how many days you'll want to tour SoCal attractions. Then, you purchase a 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7-day Los Angeles Go Card for that period of time. Once you pre-pay for your card, then you simply head to the attractions you want to visit, show your Go Card at the ticket booth, and you're given an entrance pass without any further charge.
Obviously, the Go Card discount tickets benefit the tourist who lingers less time at each attraction. Go-getters who tour 2 or 3 attractions in one day are going to save more money than those who linger at only one attraction for that same length of time. Since most people want to spend all day and all evening enjoying the rides at Magic Mountain, this discount may not be the best savings plan for theme park-lovers. On the other hand, there are many Southern California visitors who are NOT theme park die-hards, and who would like to enjoy the park for a few hours...then move on to something else. While the price of "popping in" for an hour or two at 6 Flags has been prohibitively expensive in the past, the Los Angeles Go Card makes it financially feasible for anyone to enjoy the park for a short time, then move on to enjoy other SoCal experiences.List of attractions where you can use the Los Angeles Go Card: Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott's Berry Farm and Legoland are other major theme parks included as options on the LA Go Card discount pass. Also included are Hollywood tours, movie studio tours, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, tours of the Queen Mary, the Los Angeles Zoo, Wild Rivers Water Park (in season,) harbor tours, many museums, and more. San Diego attractions included in the LA Go Card (in addition to Legoland) include San Diego Harbor excursions and Belmont Amusement Park wristbands. To read through the full list will take you awhile; so to browse through the entire listing, you may view the Go Los Angeles Card section of the GoCardUSA.com website. (Or, if you're interested in discovering Go Card savings for other cities, you may use the next link to see the Go Card USA
main page which lists a lot of cities with discount offers.)
