The Movie District at Magic Mountain-- There's fun from mild to WILD!
FUN FOR ALL AGES! You'll find fun for all ages and interests in Six Flags Magic Mountain's "Movie District" themed area. On this page, you'll see pictures of Six Flags rides and attractions you can enjoy...and decide which ones will make it onto your "must do" list! In the slide show above, you see many pictures of Riddler's Revenge roller coaster. Riddler's Revenge is where the thrill seekers head in this themed area of Six Flags. But those who want to get soaked from head to toe hop aboard the "Tidal Wave" boat ride...OR brave standing in the "soak zone" on the ride's observation deck!
New BMX Sports Show replaced Batman stunt show for Summer 2009!
A Batman Stunt Show wowed crowds for the several summers recently at Magic Mountain. Batman and the Gotham City bad guys have consistently put on a good show at 6 Flags, which has always packed the large, outdoor stadium in which it's shown. However, there was sad news for fans of the Caped Crusader--the Batman stunt show didn't return for the Summer, 2009 season!The Batman stunt show was replaced by live BMX sports action! Featured sports include skate boarding, inline skating and motorcross, as well as BMX. Leading the team of daredevils is Mat Hoffman, an X-Games multi-medalist.
Even the name of the stadium was changed. "Batman Theater" was relabeled as "Street Sports Action Theater."
Will the BMX stunt show return for 2010? The announcement has not yet been made by the theme park. A notice will be placed in this spot once the show has been confirmed.
Should you head to the arena early? This outdoor theater holds a GAZILLION people, so you're close to 100% assured of getting into the performance of your choice if you arrive 10 to 15 minutes before showtime. (On the other hand, if you want a seat that's "front and center," you should plan to arrive at the stunt theater even earlier.)
The BMX sports stunt show is gearing up to be an attraction that will please the whole family. Similar shows have already proven to be popular at other Six Flags theme park locations.
The Riddler's Revenge Roller Coaster
The wildest ride in The Movie District at Magic Mountain---and probably your teenager's favorite in this themed area---is The Riddler's Revenge. This lime green demon stands 156 feet tall. You'll get going up to 65 MPH and make 6 upside-down inversions along its 4,370-foot-long course. And---you'll do that standing up---it's Six Flags Magic Mountain's only standing roller coaster!
In the photo above, you see 'em come zooming out of a loop--just like YOU'LL be doing on the Riddler's Revenge ride! In the picture to your left, you see a roller coaster train heading to the top of the Riddler's Revenge 1st hill...getting ready for that first big drop.
Before I tried a standing coaster for the first time, I wondered if the experience would be really scary. The answer is---no, it's not. Actually, I was so busy zooming around and screaming, I didn't even NOTICE that I was standing instead of sitting.
So, if you're hesitant to try the Riddler's Revenge on this point--don't worry. Go ahead & you'll have fun!
Tidal Wave plunging boat ride...
and other rides in The Movie District
The 2nd steepest drop you'll encounter in The Movie District at Magic Mountain is at the Tidal Wave, a water ride. You'll board a boat, climb a hill, then come plunging down a 50 foot drop into a splash pool awaiting you at the bottom.Your kids 42 inches tall and over will be able to enjoy this ride with you. They'll love getting wet! As for you...well, don't worry...you won't get TOO very damp!
OTHER FAMILY RIDES---
*The Gold Rusher---a smaller, family-style roller coaster that's a 1971 original to the park. To me, its most impressive point is that it runs through the beautiful trees on the side of a mountain. Another good point---not much line! Your kids will need to be at least 48 inches tall to ride the Gold Rusher.
*Sandblasters---a fancy name for the bumper cars. Always fun--especially when your family members "aim" for each other The kids have to be 42" tall to ride along if YOU drive, or 54" tall to steer the bumper car alone.
*The Scrambler---Another older style attraction that you've seen in other parks, the Scrambler, is also here in The Movie District at Magic Mountain. Groups of ride cars rotate around their own little hubs, while the whole ride is revolving around the central hub. Double trouble! Don't forget--the rider sitting on the OUTER EDGE of the car gets squished! Children only 36" tall are welcome to board this family favorite.
The Movie District's other attractions
Rock Climbing! Restaurants! Stores!
Now, I'll talk about activities in The Movie District at Magic Mountain which involve spending a little extra money.Here, you see the rock climbing wall where, for an extra fee, you can test your mettle. Safety equipment is provided for you, of course. They don't make enought money on this attraction to pay out millions of dollars in lawsuit claims--ha ha!
On your right, you see some fellas struggling to get started towards the top of the wall....
...and on your left, you see a guy looking cool as a cucumber as he nearly reaches the top!
