Locals not thrilled about potential Six Flags Magic Mountain closing
Posted
When Magic Mountain opened 35 years ago, the theme park was billed as a magnet for development in the cattle ranches and pastoral hills of northern Los Angeles County. But now, as Magic Mountain's owners talk about shutting it down and selling the 250 acres for development, residents are rallying to keep it around.

seems kinda tragic to consider closing after investing all that money into Tatsu for this season...how is that coaster btw? havnt heard much about it. id hate to see SFMM close; while i've never been, i have heard more positive reports than negative, and it's a pretty big park....im sure its making at least SOME kind of money lol. though its always sad to see any park close...
My question is, if indeed they use Magic Mountain land for housing development, what they'll do with coasters like Tatsu and Revolution. Tatsu is built mostly off the terrain, and it wouldn't be as easy as picking it up and putting it somewhere else. The new location would have to either incorporate really tall supports or some tunnels to have room for the pretzel loop and such.
Tatsu is probably the best flyer I've ever been on. I have to say that I even enjoyed it more than X. It will be a shame if this goes through and we lose all these coasters here in SoCal.
If the area in and aroung is good for housing developments then wont the park make HUGE money when the area around it develops? And i'm pretty sure none of the rides are loud.
