The former "Six Flags California" sign is being changed back to Magic Mountain, per Rideguy70 on Bluesky.
Are you sure that isn't for a strip club?
That building used to be a little gift shop for the park. Kind of nice if you forgot something after leaving the park.

Love the retro style lettering on this. As long as they repaint the whole thing and adjust it so Magic Mountain isn't twice, it'll be good.

I’m guessing they changed the sign when Hurricane Harbor opened in the early/ mid 90s? Not sure I remember the classic sign. I think I was 10 or so the first time I went to Magic Mountain so it was probably just a couple years or so before they changed the sign.
The smoke plume dominated the northern horizon as seen in a photo, below, taken from near Magic Mountain, which is closed today. The park is protected by the Santa Clara River and the 5 Freeway, two natural fire breaks to the north and east, respectively, though there is not likely much water in the river. Also to the south of the blaze is Santa Clarita, home to many entertainment industry workers hard-hit by the strikes.

Thank you!!!!! I didn’t know this ever existed!
Strangely enough I’ve never visited Magic Mountain.
There was this one too. It went to "Trollywood" which is basically Bugs Bunny World now. Now it is the Thomas the Tank Engine train.

Wow I have no recollection of this sign and I feel like we used to pass it on the 5 as a kid every once in a while. I like it though.

Where was this charming little scene? Too bad more of the theme parks didn’t keep more of the… park.

I feel like a lot changed at Magic Mountain in the early 90s on huh? My first trip with my Dad I think the only big rollercoasters they had were Colossus and Revolution. Not even sure if Viper was there yet. What other coasters would have been there in the early 90s aside from Gold Rusher? Ninja? Flashback? I think that came a little later too.

Psyclone! That’s the one I’m missing. Thought it was mid 90s. Wow so that first trip with my dad they literally only had 4-5 coasters. I’m guessing Magic Flyer was a kiddie coaster?
