It looks like Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, is planning on making some big changes to the park. The company has filed for permits with Los Angeles County to potentially demolish 2 long-standing rides.
One demolition permit was filed for the almost 80-year-old Magic Flyer kids’ roller coaster. According to the demolition permit, it’s valued at only $10,000.
The Magic Flyer is a kids’ ride that mimics a train going around a track and up a hill at a top speed of 10 MPH. Magic Flyer started life as the Little Dipper and opened at Beverly Park in 1946. When the park closed in 1970, the ride was sold to Six Flags Magic Mountain (then just Magic Mountain), which relaunched it in 1971. The ride had remained with the park off and on since then.
The second permit filed is for the removal of a “steel swing ride,” believed to be Tweety‘s Escape. This attraction opened in 1985 and is also given a value of $10,000.
Tweety’s Escape has each passenger get into their own personal giant bird cage. The riders are raised and swayed in circles around a centerpiece with murals of Granny, Tweety, and Sylvester.
There is no word on what ride(s) will replace these just yet.
