“We are delighted to be reopening our park to safely celebrate
the holidays with this unprecedented and magical event,” said Six
Flags Magic Mountain President, Don McCoy. “We have successfully
transformed the traditional operation of our beloved Holiday in the
Park into a new drive-through experience that is sure to delight
guests and team members alike. We are proud and honored to help our
guests create special holiday memories, and to provide a feeling of
hope and a small reprieve during this very difficult year.”
As one of the largest holiday drive-through events in Southern
California and the only one inside a theme park, the Holiday in
the Park Drive-Thru Experience will include eight immersive,
distinctly different areas throughout the 125-acre theme park which
will be filled with an exquisite palette of colorful twinkling
lights, choreographed to festive music. Guests will enjoy distanced
greetings from beloved holiday characters all decked out for the
holidays, popular iconic holiday decorations, a drive-by featuring
Santa and Mrs. Claus and their helpful elves, and much more:
- Rockin’ Universe in DC UNIVERSE™ features “dancing”
lights customized to contemporary holiday music favorites in one of
the largest light displays of its kind in Southern California;
- Merry Lane, located in METROPOLIS™ includes magnificent,
larger-than-life 30-foot brilliantly lit ornaments with thousands
of twinkling lights synchronized to holiday music;
- The Underground, a newly added section of the park this
year, will feature several rarely-seen show cars from world-famous
West Coast Customs’ vast collection, in a unique setting decked out
for the season (car enthusiasts—get your cameras ready!);
- Winter Wonderland is the site of beautifully adorned
pine trees with red and white lights at Katy’s Kettle, continuing
with fanciful “ice” sculptures and tree-filled white lights
simulating winter-like conditions along the hilly path toward
Viper;
- Holiday Square is a kaleidoscope of breath-taking color,
featuring falling “snow” and hundreds of thousands of lights on
trees and buildings throughout the main gate area;
- Snowy Nights will delight guests with its high energy
vibe and contemporary tunes while marveling at the magnificent
silver and blue décor of the area;
- North Pole Plaza located in front of Golden Bear
Theatre, is where Mrs. Claus and her merry, mischievous, and
bumbling elves will entertain guests from afar; and
- Gleampunk District is the largest area of the event and
is a journey back in time to the sights and sounds of the 19th
century’s industrial revolution, featuring thousands of lights
illuminating the tree-lined streets and the steampunk-inspired
mechanical sculptures amid the light-blanketed planters. Santa will
bid guests a joyous holiday farewell from the safety of his
magnificent over-sized sleigh at the conclusion of the Holiday
in the Park Drive-Thru Experience.
The Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru Experience will debut
November 20 and run daily through November 29 (Thanksgiving week),
Friday through Sunday the following two weeks, and daily December
18 through January 3, 2021, beginning at 6 p.m. each night. To
control and manage capacity, limited reservations will be available
each night and will be required by all
guests in advance using Six Flags’ new online reservation system.
Admission tickets for this first-ever event will be available on a
first come, first served basis and will be sold per person for each
night, with a minimum of two individuals per vehicle required.
Admission is free with active Memberships and Season Passes, but
reservations will be required. Ticket sales will not be available
at the gate. For more information on Six Flags Magic Mountain’s

The safety of guests and team members is always Six Flags’ top
priority. The new Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru
Experience will offer a contactless experience that follows
CDC, state, and county health and safety guidelines. To prevent
overcrowding and provide proper social distancing, a limited number
of cars will be allowed each night.
A full list of safety requirements for the event is available on
the park’s website at www.sixflags.com/magicmountain, including LA
County’s guidelines for vehicle-based events. Event requirements
include use of masks if windows are down, no smoking, littering,
stopping, or exiting vehicles. Due to the limited size of certain
areas and terrain within the park, only cars, SUVs, vans, and
pick-up trucks are permitted. No busses, RVs, commercial vehicles,
dually pick-up trucks, trailers, or motorcycles will be allowed. A
maximum speed of three mph and maintaining a safe distance between
cars will be strictly enforced.
As part of Six Flags’ comprehensive safety procedures, all
employees are required to wear masks and are temperature-checked
and health-screened each day. Gloves are worn as appropriate, per
guidelines. As directed by current state regulations, no additional
services will be available. Six Flags encourages guests to plan
accordingly for restroom breaks, gasoline, and food. Only portable
toilets will be available at the entrance and exit.
