How to get Six Flags Magic Mountain discount tickets and special offers





In the slide show above, you're viewing pictures of fun Six Flags Magic Mountain rides and characters! 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! This page will show you a number of good ways to do this.








What discounts are available for Six Flags Magic Mountain?

Coupons, Coke cans...and more!

How much do Six Flags Magic Mountain tickets cost if you wait to buy them full-price at the park's ticket booths? Adult tickets at full price cost $54.99, and kid's tickets cost $27.50. 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 as they see fit.

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

3.) State of California tourism coupons: There may be reasons why you don't want to purchase print-at-home tickets before leaving home...despite the savings over Magic Mountain's ticket booth price. Maybe you're not sure if you'll have time to visit the theme park on your trip. Or, maybe you don't have a credit or debit card. No problem--with a coupon from California's official tourism website, www.VisitCalifornia.com, you can save $20 off of each ticket you purchase at the Six Flags Magic Mountain ticket booths. Here's a link to the Six Flags Magic Mountain discount coupon from VisitCalifornia.com.

4.) Coke discount time is coming up soon! Every summer, Six Flags Magic Mountain runs a buy-one-get-one-free ticket deal on specially printed cans of Coca Cola and other Coke products (like diet Coke and Sprite.) 2010 will probably be no exception. When should you begin looking for the special cans of Coke? Last year, the cans began to be spotted in May, 2009. (They usually disappear within a month or two at most stores...but I still found one of the special Coke cans at a truck stop in October, 2009!) If you find one of the 2010 Magic Mountain Coke cans, save them! You can get buy-one-get-one-free admission to Six Flags Magic Mountain for you and a friend! But once the cans are gone, no more will be printed. You need to hang onto them until you're ready to visit the theme park! The 2009 Coke can offer was good through December 31st at Magic Mountain, and the 2010 offer will probably be similar. (However, the offer will end earlier at Hurricane Harbor because the water park closes in September every year.) To receive the discount, you must bring your can to the ticket windows at Magic Mountain; bring one can for every discount ticket you need to purchase.





Free ticket dates at Six Flags Magic Mountain

There are several times during the year that you can get free admission to Magic Mountain...IF you make a charitable donation, that is! Both dates happen in late Fall each year, right around the holidays.

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.

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. Last year, the Toys for the Holidays free dates were the first 2 weekends in December. Guests were able to get FREE admission to Six Flags Magic Mountain by donating a brand new toy costing $15 or more to help poor children have a merry Christmas. WHAT KIND OF TOY? Almost any toy that's non-breakable was fine. The important thing if you're planning on going in 2010 is to BE HONEST! You should REALLY spend $15 instead of trying to pass off a used or cheap-o toy. BRING YOUR RECEIPTS; they will be checked!

How many toys should you bring for this program? Each person who wants free Magic Mountain admission should bring a toy. Do not wrap the toys! This will be done right before the toys are distributed to the recipients. Once there's an announcement of the exact dates (usually right after the Bag A Ticket date has finished) then that information will be posted on this page.





Is it better to buy daily tickets or a season pass?

Picture: Former yellow and magenta colors of the X No Limits roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California Frequent Magic Mountain visitors should get a Play Pass (which is the name of the 6 Flags season pass) for the best savings. If you plan to return more than 2 or 3 times to Magic Mountain this year, your cost-per-visit will be cheaper if you get a season pass than if you use other types of discounts. And, if you plan to visit Magic Mountain more than 4 times this year, it will be cheaper to choose the Extreme Play Pass which includes parking (because at $15 per visit to park, this expense adds up fast!) You can discover the benefits of having a 6 Flags Magic Mountain season passes in the next section of this page.






Picture: X2 roller coaster at Magic Mountain has new red and black colors and special effects! Photo notes: Above, you're viewing a picture of "X No Limits," a ride which was always one of Magic Mountain's most popular. But, this terrifying roller coaster received a makeover during 2008! Take a look at the picture of the "old X"; you won't be seeing the X roller coaster's familiar yellow & magenta colors any more when you visit Magic Mountain!

As you can see in the picture of the new "X2" (to your left,) this roller coaster is now a mean-looking machine! (The "X No Limits" roller coaster received a new name with its makeover, as you may have heard.)

During the coaster's makeover, audio and visual effects were added. The X2 coaster's new colors are red and black. To discover more fun facts about the new X2 roller coaster, check out the 6 Flags "Baja Ridge" themed area page of this website.




Magic Mountain Play Pass = great benefits!

Frequent Six Flags visitors save most by getting a season pass!

Picture: Six Flags Magic Mountain's entry sign at night, , Valencia (greater Los Angeles), California, USA You'll get some very good benefits if you purchase Six Flags Magic Mountain season passes. 2010 Season Passes are now being sold.

With a 6 Flags Play Pass, you'll get admission to 6 Flags Magic Mountain theme park on the day of your season pass purchase PLUS (here's the good part) FOR ALL OF 2010, AS WELL.

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 2010 to almost ALL of the Six Flags theme parks! 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

*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

Superman ride tower at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia (Los Angeles), California, USARestrictions: The Magic Mountain Play 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 will not be re-opening for the 2010 season, so season passes may no longer be used at that park.

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.

Save time--jump ahead in line with a Flash Pass purchase!

Six Flags Theme Parks - Buy Online Now!
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 $40.99 to $68.99 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.

Good multiple-attraction discount, the Los Angeles Go Card!

Magic Mountain now included in the LA Go Card program!

Go Los Angeles Card - 37 Los Angeles Attractions
Great news! Six Flags Magic Mountain now offers yet another way to save! Southern California visitors can now experience Magic Mountain with their Los Angeles Go Card savings plans!

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.

Picture: explosions, fire and smoke at Magic Mountain's Batman Begins stunt show! 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.)
