Default Best Days to go to Six Flags?

Me and some buddies are planning on heading out to six flags, but I, believe it or not, have never been there. What are the best days to head out there to avoid lines? I've heard from friends that went on random days and didn't have to wait for anything at all, and got to go on everything multiple times.

Ill sell you 2 passes to Six Flags Magic Mountain for 40 bucks. Ive been trying to get rid of these for a while.

I was gonna go out there when I was on a trip from MN, but we never got around to doing it.

my wife and I have season passes and always have Wednesdays off, we go there on that day of the week and it's always pretty low on ride traffic.

Unfortunately there are lots of teenie boppers and hot *** weather, but you expect that anyways. Try Wednesday, and DEFINATELY NOT ON A WEEKEND!

lol i guess you could always ride the mini rollercoasters in the MoA... except even that got shut down tonight at like 7.30, they evacuated.... "code red warning" .... storms + glass ceilings = evacuated mini amusement parks.

easiest thing in the world to do to avoid the lines is get a handicap pass. most of the time you don't even have to come up with some handicap, you just ask for one at the customer service place and they give you one. if they ask why, say you've got bad circulation and your doctor advised you not to stand for more than 10 minutes at a time. then what you do is go through the exit/handicap exit of the ride, and at the end [near where you actually get off the ride] there's always a worker chillin there.. they sign your pass and tell you to come back at a certain time [for instance, if it's 3pm and the line is an hour long, they'll tell you to come at 4pm]. then to ride the ride you just go back up the exit way, show your signed pass, and usually wait less than 10 mins to get on. we try to spend the first hour or so lining up all the rides [make sure you give yourself enough time in between rides] and then spend the rest of the time riding them..... no lines.

beat the system, ftw.

very true, however Magic Mountain is located in a damn near desert! It maybe rainds there like 5 days out of the year!

I also find at magic Mountain that I like coming in around 3-4pm in the afternoon when the sun isn't so hot and the rest of the evening is pretty nice as it gets dark. Good way to beat the heat!


And what is it with "X" being closed???? Seems like everytime I go its closed. It's by far the best rollercoaster EVER!!!!
