Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia has announced that it will add a new family-oriented roller coaster to its offerings in 2010, bringing the total number of roller coasters at Magic Mountain to 17. This will keep them tied for the title of “roller coaster capital of the world” according to Roller Coaster Database.

The newly announced roller coaster has not been named yet, but is expected to open in early summer 2010 at the northwest corner of the park, adjacent to Terminator® Salvation™:  The Ride. Six Flags Magic Mountain has also announced lower Play Pass (season pass) rates for 2010, priced at $54.99 with no blackout dates.

The logo and name for the new family coaster are expected to be announced in November 2009. This coaster will join rides like Canyon Blaster that are designed for parents and young children to enjoy together.

Why is this important to Santa Clarita residents? Well, first off, the Magic Mountain theme park is one of Santa Clarita Valley’s biggest employers. In addition, the threat of a sell-off of the park to residential developers seems to be completely laid to rest, with the addition of this new roller coaster as well as the recently opened Terminator® Salvation™:  The Ride.

From Six Flags Magic Mountain’s website:

“A new family coaster is coming in early summer, bringing the coaster count to 17! Joining the world-renown collection, the new coaster will be located in the northwest corner of the Park, near last season’s newest innovative thrill ride, Terminator® Salvation™: The Ride.”
