Six Flags Confirms 2026 Coaster for Magic Mountain! Six Flags Magic Mountain Update!

[@Vinsanity1521]

Can confirm Goliath is getting a paint job…caught a solid view while riding TC this morning…I think most of the helix was done…

[@guerrerowarrior1]

I wish X2 got some love and had the effects and audio restored. 😢

[@jesslynnwarnock]

@@guerrerowarrior1 this is just me own speculations but S&S recently uploaded a ride video on their KZbin of 4D coasters using X2 and the other one (I always forget the name) as their examples.. I HOPE that means they'll be eventually working with Six Flags to either make new trains or gonna a way to refurbish the ones we have with new sound systems and make the trains function again with the speakers and have all the special effects working (weather and wind conditions allowing obviously)

[@Themeparkanxiety]

That ride is too rough and jerky for audio to work consistently

[@EveryCrazyDay]

I’d be willing to wait another 5 years and have them do a full blown revamp as X3. New trains/ station and maybe a sick lighting package that’s more reliable than the fire effects?

[@jesslynnwarnock]

@@EveryCrazyDay that would actually be amazing. Fire is cool and all but with the winds, weather and everything Southern California has, something more reliable and not dependent on nature cooperating would be great

[@EveryCrazyDay]

@@jesslynnwarnock exactly my thoughts, for me X/X2 has been the icon of the park, you literally drive right past it first before parking, and it still stands in many ways as the most intense ride in North America. Give it the big rebranding and makeover it deserves! The only additional thing I would add to my wish list would be some small portion being enclosed with some kind of effect or lighting. A stoner buddy of mine said once what if it was like “space mountain” and although that’s impossible, I kinda like where his heads at.

[@michaeldunahee4537]

Tatsu in the pretzel loop at the same time as Revolution going through its loop. Nice!

[@OakViewFilms]

Baymum confirmed on Twitter that Goliath is getting repainted, and thankfully it’s keeping the orange/teal paint scheme.

[@cj.9091]

Either an S&S Axis Coaster, or a Mack Stryker Coaster like Voltron at Europa Park would be my two predictions!

[@dennmod24]

im thinking Mack Stryker

[@bobmcallister8028]

I am holding out hope for a Voltron type of ride from Mack Rides. The closest thing I have been on to Voltron is Copperhead Strike at Carrowinds which is a fantastic coaster. Magic Mountain needs something that can compete with Fast and Furious and this would compete or surpass F&F.

[@RXCoasters]

stryker would be cool but personally not a fan of the axis coaster i hope its not that

[@susskinsgamer]

I’ve been betting on a Mack Stryker as well. Voltron has really done well, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see them popping up all over.

[@1abrebel]

The coaster is definitely going to be a type somewhere else in the world. If it was a first of it's kind in the world they would be marketing it like that

[@XxLiLGiJoE17xX]

I'm still sticking with my prediction of a Mack Stryker like Voltron as the 2026 coaster.

[@markimoofan1239]

ooh love to see six flags getting lots of love and woo excited for the new coaster to go in cant wait to start seeing it break ground and track and supports

[@Blxckhxrt629]

Based on the banners, I’d say something like Falcons Flight at Six Flags Qiddiya in Saudi Arabia.

[@robertstephens5185]

Not enough space

[@thehotdogking7734]

Oh I wish, but that is a big project probably wouldn’t open as early as 2026

[@Blxckhxrt629]

@ size could be adjusted by project engineers…

[@robertstephens5185]

@Blxckhxrt629 I'm thinking mack striker similar to voltron. They aren't dropping 300+ million dollars for a falcons flight type attraction. I can't wait to see if a final cost comes out for that thing. Just in steel, specialty crane,labor and number of lsms that thing is going to probably blow the highest priced coaster figure away. It could be an axis as well. Do I think they could drop 40mill on this, yes. But will they is the question.

[@RA-hx9uc]

Worst prediction ever.

[@psychopompinc.646]

The prevailing rumor for the new coaster is a Vekoma Flying Motorbike style, which is apparently a patent that they have but haven't built yet. That would make sense given the poster that says "Epic Thrills Are Cycling In." The patent drawings are floating around on the interwebs. It would be a cool style as a terrain coaster, to be sure. I could see them taking a chance on a larger scale S&S Axis coaster though too, which would also be pretty amazing as a terrain coaster. And yes, we need more water rides. How about replacing Dive Devil with a BigWaveZ and putting something like a Ultra Surf in Deja Vu's old plot? A splash pad in DC Universe themed to Aquaman would be a good idea a well as just another way to cool off on hot days.

[@frankthecat1660]

It's going to be a "first in the US", implying that this model exists outside the US. Mack Stryker is a possibility.

[@psychopompinc.646]

@@frankthecat1660 Yes, technically from the verbiage a Stryker is a possibility (and I'd be down for that too) as is an Axis (I'd be down for that too), but those don't tie in with the teaser posters. Plus, it makes sense financially that it would be Vekoma as a package deal with Flash: Vertical Velocity..

[@Gamingbird1323]

If anyone is wondering, Six Flag's Holiday in the Park will be running from November 28th to January 5th on select days. Yes, this information comes from the Magic Mountain Website.

[@TheLegodude146]

Ive heard some people speculate an Axis coaster, but im open to a vekoma just like you

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Yeah I’m leaning towards Vekoma. Vekoma or Intamin make more sense right now.

[@gridley]

I wish Universal/Comcast bought SFMM & turned it into another Epic Universe. But no way, no how will that happen. Not sure about all the details of SFMM's economics going back to the park's opening in 1971. But if its existing & potential attendance (& profit & loss ledger) were like a theme-park version of a gold mine or oil field, Six Flags/Cedar could do a lot more to improve it.

[@Paulmagic8ball365]

Definitely could do so much more than what they do

[@vanillac0keh3ad]

@@Paulmagic8ball365 why dont they do more? They put like no effort in making it a good looking well rounded park

[@Paulmagic8ball365]

@vanillac0keh3ad tbh I don't have a clue on it they could definitely put a whole lot of effort in it it's also spending costs and etc i worked there and an ap holder for 10 years when I was younger i didn't notice then but I did when I worked there it was so much potential

[@Paulmagic8ball365]

@vanillac0keh3ad atleast with the merge sfmm is getting invested from cedar fair Being the boss now of sixflags so they know what to do

[@themeparklunatic1996]

Why do we want another park like Disneyland or Universal I appreciate that SFMM is different than all the other parks in SoCal

[@DanielAgustin-z7o]

Ditch Superman and save Drop of Doom.

[@coachrolo5174]

Great meeting you today and talking coasters. Keep up the videos. 🙂

[@demonoid7469]

I am just glad we did the drive thru the park for Christmas 2020! I feel bad for anyone that didn't get to do that, it was kind of awesome... I also have a feeling plans changed for what that coaster was going to be after the merger...either way should be cool

[@24ecko]

Yeah driving 2 hours from home just to drive some more inside the park then drive another 2 hours back home in LA traffic? Yeah sounds fun lol

[@jesslynnwarnock]

​@@24eckoit was honestly a very unique experience that as someone who loves theme parks as well as having grown up going to Magic Mountain, driving through the park, around and under rollercoasters was awesome. I wish they'd do it again 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@junem4102]

I used to work at Magic Mountain long ago; in Retail and in some years, in Cash Control.

Love the video and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are thinking of moving to Florida just us together someday and want to meet you some day at Disney land and Bashgarders in January

[@GreySox]

They'll need something special to compete with Fast and Furious at Universal.

[@themeparklunatic1996]

Hopefully S&S axis

[@stevengibeault4959]

We have known about Hurricane Harbor since the Merger. HITP starts nov. 28th. There has been work done within the area of Bear Theatre cleared out a little more. You missed that Scrambler is gone.

[@stevengibeault4959]

Already painting Goliath, been working on it for couple weeks

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Well thank the maker. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@anthonymontanez267]

A Vekoma Bermuda blitz will be my personal choice.

[@ulrichwarthen]

I'm still predicting a tilt coaster. SF has been working with Vekoma again and especially now that SF and Cedar Fair merged. Plus there's plenty of terrain in that area for it to play with. It would fit in with the theming in that area alongside Full Throttle, and SF is always keen on putting unique coaster types into MM

[@markporky]

First in North America… cedar point is getting a tilt coaster

[@stephenn77]

Viper should be next after Goliath! Paint, refurb, demo whatever…

[@johnsmi213]

Demo????????!?!?!

[@stephenn77]

@@johnsmi213Lol! I want something better in its place!

[@AidanB08]

Would you want a brand new state of the art coasted or a old, painfull coaster? Your choice

[@Themeparkanxiety]

@@AidanB08 neither.

[@SpiderWaffle]

I think it has to be first in NA but already made somewhere else. So that could be an S&S Axis, Mack Stryker or Vekoma Moterbike (or something more obscure) I'm pretty sure it's a Vekoma Moterbike because of the cycle clue.

[@shlumpgod]

The mens bathrooms need to be renewed as well as the hurricane harbor ones 😂. No dividers with the urinals is diabolical

[@dave9131975]

I work at Six Flags Magic Mountain (Justice League and Jammin Bumpers) and Superman is down indefinitely.. hopefully they can get it back up and running for the new movie next year.

[@Kumba9]

Mack Stryker coaster like Voltron (fingers crossed) lol

[@brianlovelace]

What do you think about the new pricing options for passes? Previous Platinum member here. Not sure if I'm going to renew this next year with their new pricing structure.

[@SarasAbstractExpressions]

Sorry but I gotta. Eggshell is a paint texture not a color.

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

I think it can be both lol.

[@SarasAbstractExpressions]

@ThemeParkObsessionDD boyfriend was a painter by trade.. No its not

[@Freakwhencee]

What ever it is , it will be going through the hills so something like west coast racers track.

[@7zerex]

Are you going to do a follow up at knotts berry farm of More than 20 riders were suspended in midair for hours after a Knott’s Berry Farm ride malfunctioned Monday afternoon Sol Spin ride.

[@Coaster-it]

What’s happening with the scrambler because log ride says it’s defunct and it’s not on the website

[@americanneopilot]

If only it could be a Mach Rides Xtreme spinner… or maybe a b&m giga, but I don’t think it’s likely at all

[@LyndsieDances]

Found your brother Taylor

[@ianmortimer5325]

it might be the Mack Rides Striker model coming to Magic Mountain soon.

[@stephenn77]

Imagine if we got an Axis coaster? I would take a Vekoma Super Boomerang too! We need one on the west coast.

[@JTabor1976]

I seen a video of a coaster but didn't catch the manufacturer however it's seats like x2 but on an arm while the arm can spin 360° son can the seats in a controlled spin as well programed simular to Cosmic rewind.

[@JTabor1976]

like X squared instead of X2 lol.

[@frankthecat1660]

S&S Axis.

[@JohnKramerRules]

The new coaster they are building is a SAW themed roller coaster! 🎢

[@rollercoastersrule]

The new coaster is a Maurer Rides “Spike Coaster” the same POS the Carnival cruise lines use.

If the park did not have Tatsu, I would put money on a Vecoma flying coaster. Hopefully it will be an Axis coaster.

[@spikedwk]

I never got to ride kingda ka either! Super bummed

[@Risto999]

How about they just get all of their current coasters and water rides cleaned up and operating properly. Then hire some more staff, have everything open, and run more than one train at a time so we can all enjoy! The last time i was there, half the coasters were closed, and it was a major disappointment.

No

Probably a S&S Axis like the one built in Saudi Arabia. And yes, Goliath is being repainted...

Glad Goliath is getting some love. And S&S axis is very likely, we shall see in the next few months if they make an announcement.
