How tall magic mountain

Wait times at Magic Mountain are long enough to make its most ardent fans think twice about standing in line, but it's just about the only way to get your adrenaline rush. If you can visit the park on a summer weekday or during the off-season when kids are in school, waits may be shorter.

That is unless they cut back on the number of cars running. The only reliable way to save time in line is to get a Magic Mountain Flash Pass , which you can buy online.

With it, you can reserve a time to go on the most popular rides over a dozen of them and do something else while you're waiting.

With a Gold Level Fast Pass and paying an extra fee at the park , you can reserve a ride time on the over-popular X2. At the Platinum level, you can wait once and ride twice. The per-pass price goes down the more passes you buy, so try to get them for everyone in your group at the same time. On a slow day, the Flash Pass won't be necessary.

If you buy your tickets online , be sure they print out clearly. If you can't print the ticket, go to Guest Relations Booth with your email receipt or order confirmation number, photo ID, and the credit card you used to buy it.

Magic Mountain has metal detectors outside the entrance. You can speed up the process by dressing simply and being prepared.
