Apparently I am the last to know but Magic Mountain is reportedly in trouble. Six Flags took out an enormous loan in the late 90s to pay for improvements to their parks. Six Flags announced not even a month after opening Tatsu that they are contemplating selling the park to the highest bidder. Unfortunately the highest bidder(s) seems to be real estate developers.

If they were to actually close the park I would be absolutely devastated. So far it's looking good. No one wants the park to close. The city is even thinking of annexing the park into the city limits. The park creates 3000 jobs during the summer. Would anyone ever visit Valencia if it wasn't for the Mountain?

I know it's kind of a shit hole. It always has been. If you don't like real rides, there is nothing for you to do. Over the last few years they made it an Xtreme Park. Basically only teenagers want to ride these rides. Parents who used to go on Viper and Revolution are now terrified. Recent reports of gang/large groups of unsupervised kids have the parents even more worried. It's not like they can go to the park and enjoy the nice food. They have the most expensive McDonalds in the world and the only restaurant is the Moose Lodge. Everyone hates the Moose Lodge. The food is awful. They need to create some other things to do. How is THE hotel in Las Vegas able to pack the place full of children? There is nothing for kids in LV but yet their parents bring them. Vegas is still packed with a million things to do besides gamgling. Whether or not it's a kid activity, the parents come and they spend money.

That is EXACTLY what Magic Mountain needs. If Sin City can still capture families, the Mountain needs to spice it up. Let's create some nightlife. Give people a reason to buy a 2 day pass. Let's put in some big hotels. They could sure use a City Center in Valencia. Poor Valencia, it's like Barstow…without the glitz. Let's throw some glitz at it. We need a Hard Rock Valencia. Live acts, night club on Friday and Saturday. No one wants to spend $27.95 on 2 slices of pizza. But they will spend $400 on a bottle of Grey Goose. Come on MM, make it phat.

I seriously can't let the park close. I am going to do everything I possibly can. I registered the domain SaveMagicMountain.Org. I don't have anything there yet. I am working on it. I have spoken with the owner of www.savemagicmountain.com. We are going to combine our efforts because neither of us wants Magic Mountain to close!
