San Francisco Rental Car and Six Flags Magic Mountain
Magic Mountain was a cute theme park with gnomes that lived in a magic mountain. Then Six Flags bought the park and spiced it up to the "xtreme". Today, this park is one of the world's largest theme parks with some of the world's largest rides. It is a bit of a drive with your San Francisco rental car; it is located in Valencia, about 30 miles north of Los Angeles. Within the park you will also find Hurricane Harbor, a water park that charges separate admission.
A thrill ride haven for 45 years
Leaving you San Francisco rental car in the parking lot, you will step into the largest collection of roller coasters on the planet. There are 17 world-class roller coasters, including the new Tatsu, the world's longest. Tallest, and fastest flying coaster! You will fly through the air and the famous mountain terrain. There is also SCREAM!, a floorless mega-coaster; X, the world's first four-dimensional coaster where riders race in vehicles that spin independently 360-degrees forward and backward on separate axis; Goliath, a giant roller coaster; and Dejavu, a boomerang coaster that takes you through the track forward and backward.
Six Flags also has many rides and attractions for kids and adults who prefer to stay a little closer to the ground. Some of the attractions that the whole family can enjoy before leaving in your San Francisco rental car include Just Wingin' It, an exotic bird show from the tropical regions of the world. This show is open year-round, where you get to see a free-flight adventure. Also located near the bird show if the Wile E. Coyote Critter Canyon, a petting zoo with a wide variety of farm animals that you are encouraged to touch. Of course, there are always the Warner Bros. characters wandering around the park to talk to you.
Take a break
There are many places to grab a bite to eat in the park, or pack a cooler in your San Francisco rental car and have a picnic. From classic theme park food like funnel cake and cotton candy to Chinese food, you will find something to get rid of the hunger after a day of running around and excitement.
There are also many shops where you can pick up a souvenir or two before returning home in your San Francisco rental car.
Getting here
Six Flags Magic Mountain is located at the Six Flags California entertainment complex, just north of Los Angeles at the Magic Mountain Parkway exit off of the Interstate 5 in Valencia. Ask your hotel concierge which is the best way to get here from where you are staying. It is a bit far to drive in your San Francisco rental car, but well worth the trip.
Six Flags Magic Mountain is a thrill-a-minute theme park near Los Angeles with a great water park right next door. While you can enjoy yourself for one day here, many people don't want to leave and need two or three days to really soak all of the rides in.
