I'm planning to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain for my first time.
Here are my top 5 rides that I have to go on:
1. Batman
2. Superman
3. Riddler's Revenge
4. Scream
5. X
I'm also planning on Goliath, Deja Vu, Viper, Colossus, Thrill Shot, and the Skycoaster, oh, and the centrifugal force ride there. Is there anything else I should go on? What is the wait time for these rides? Could I do it all in one day? Is the Fastpass worth it? How much does the thrillshot and skycoaster cost? When is it better to go? I was thinking about going on a nice weekend in october or november. |

Yes, the SF fastpasses are plenty worth it on a very busy days.

| | | I would recommend you going on a weekday instead of a weekend. Superman is not a very good ride compared to Goliath. They both go about the same speed now a days. X is much better than Batman, Superman, Scream and all the other rides at the park IMO. Make sure that you hit X, Goliath, Riddlers Revenge, and batman is a fun ride. |

| | | I'd say do Goliath first, as most people go straight to X. While back there, hit Scream and then move over to Batman RR and Superman. You can come back to Colossus, it won't have a long line later on. Then go to Deja VU and Psyclone. I went in May on a weekday, and it was suprisingly empty. I'd definately recommend not going on a weekend.

| | | uausaly every one heads strait towards X so me and my friends decided to go to riddlers first and because its all the way in the back of the park, no one was there. We got to go in the front with no wait at least five times before every one showed up. But you need to walk fast. |

| | | Fenix, are you close to another Six Flags park that would perhaps be a homepark? If so, then I'd ride according to whether a coaster was a clone or not. During my visit I rode Batman: The Ride and Scream last due to them being clones of rides at my homepark: SFGADV. I made sure I put rides on X, Goliath, Riddler's Revenge, Deja Vu, Ninja, Colossus under the belt first.

| | | well this is the order u should ride in
1.x- the line gets way to long later in the day
2.goliath- not as long as x but it gets long
3.riddler-fun ride
4.scream & colossus- better to get them both done
5.deja vue- secret go to the single rider line they put u in any random seat but u only wait about 5 min |

| | | Now i'm planning on going september 16th. Do you think that would be a good day? Are the lines gonna be long? Will it be worth it to get the fast lane passes? Do they have single rider lines? Here's my plan, what do you think?
Goliath
Scream
Colossus
Batman
Grinder's Gearworks
Riddler's Revenge
Superman: The Escape
Psyclone
Deja Vu
Viper
X
and since i'm gonna be going with family we're gonna have to go on stuff like their log ride and the rapids ride and stuff like that. Do you think it can be done in a day while still taking time to eat and enjoy the scenery and stuff? |

| | | I would put Riddler's Revenge first, followed by X, Goliath, Batman, Superman, Scream, Viper, Colossus, and I guess if you want to hit Psyclone save it for last.
