We visited Six Flags Magic Mountain last summer with a bunch of friends from college. It's located in Valencia, and the real estate prices in that area have been hit pretty hard by the bubble-burst. We used to think that they would choose to close down Magic Mountain because the land was worth far too much. Not so much anymore.
Visitors have been declining significantly over the past several years. When we would go to this same park in high school, the lines were so exceptionally long that our experience was horrible. We were able to ride on three rides the entire day because we were waiting in 2-4 hour lines for each ride.
Our trip a year ago was wonderful - we rode every ride that we wanted. We waited in one line for one ride for more than an hour: X. This was during the ride's premiere. The park was nearly deserted.
I don't see how that location stays in business.
