Santa Clarita, United States of America
Six Flags Magic Mountain

A 262-acre theme park in Santa Clarita, California, and one of the best-loved in America.

If you’re a fan of rollercoasters, you probably don’t need this article to tell you to this, but if you’re not in the know: Six Flags Magic Mountain is a top destination for thrill seekers, and with 19 roller coasters, it holds the record for the largest number in the world! With names like Apocalypse promising a “race through a post-apocalyptic wasteland,” and Goliath living up to its name with a 255-ft drop, what you see is what you get when you tilt your neck back to the mind-numbing heights.


When The Riddler's Revenge opened in 1998, named after the Batman villain, it was the tallest, fastest, and longest stand-up coaster in the world, with a total track length of almost a mile! They also have the first roller coaster to reach 100 miles per hour and the once-tallest, fastest, and longest (again!) flying coaster in the world. Like they say, they’re talking about serious coasters here!


If you’re not big enough for the adult coasters, don’t fret because Six Flags also has several junior coasters, including one that used to be called the Goliath Jr., and if you’re an adult who’s not into coasters, there are equally-thrilled, down-to-earth rides like the Roaring Rapids.


The DC-themed ride names are not just for show, because they have DC character meet-and-greets, so kids (and adults who are kids at heart) can take photos with Flash or Wonder Woman, as well as the Looney Tunes characters. Fun for all ages, watch yourself get hooked onto thrill rides at Six Parks!

Tips Before You Go
Park hours are extended on weekends and public holidays, but the park is also more crowded then, so make sure to weigh your options before visiting. As with most theme parks, visiting earlier to beat the queues or buying passes online is recommended!
