Cyclone Bay at Magic Mountain--Scream Yourself Hoarse!

Deja Vu Roller coaster is a thrill-seeker's favorite!

YOU'LL LOVE THE CYCLONE BAY SECTION OF MAGIC MOUNTAIN! Its a part of the park with "something for everyone."

Thrill seekers head straight to the popular Deja Vu Roller Coaster, (You can see many pictures of the Deja Vu coaster in the photo slide show above.) After getting their pulses pounding on Deja Vu, adrenaline junkies head next for Cyclone Bay's other popular coaster, the wooden "Psyclone."

Family rides and attractions: Not everyone enjoys white knuckle rides...and the Cyclone Bay themed area of 6 Flags for families hunting more "moderate" fun, as well. As part of the slide show, you'll see pictures of the Gold Rusher roller coaster, a family-friendly coaster...plus photos of Magic Mountain's bumper cars and of the "Spin Out" ride building. Games of skill are another big attraction in the Cyclone Bay area of Magic Mountain...and you'll see several pictures of the 6 Flags carnival games in the slide show and on this page.

We'll be talking about the rides and attractions of Cyclone Bay on this page. Maybe you'll find several things to put on your "must do" list for the next time you visit Magic Mountain!

Deja Vu Roller Coaster show legs flying in the air!

A Boomerang-style coaster: Deja Vu is a "boomerang" style roller coaster, which means it doesn't follow a circular track. If a boomerang-style coaster's track were stretched out taut, instead of looped & coiled as it is, you'd see that it's shape is linear...a simple straight line!

On the Deja Vu coaster, then, you'll see every inch of the track once going forwards, and a 2nd time hurtling backwards. The name "Deja Vu" fits very well---on your 2nd time over a stretch of track, you certainly HAVE "seen it before!"

On Deja Vu, you'll harness into suspended, ski-lift-type seats. Next, Deja Vu "floors it," and you'll squeal out of the station reaching 65 MPH in no time flat. You'll loop & whirl around the track until you climb up one of those mean 200 ft. tall towers, where you'll hang for just a second-full-of-dread before you plunge down GOING BACKWARDS leaving your breath caught in your throat!

Sound fun? Try it!

Psyclone Roller Coaster is gone

Deja Vu's next-door neighbor, Psyclone, gone: The dark-stained pine Psyclone was a 1991 addition to Cyclone Bay at Magic Mountain. Though still relatively new (as you already know, some wooden roller coasters in other theme parks have been around for decades,) Psyclone has been removed from 6 Flags Magic Mountain. Its rough ride meant that it never became a "favorite" with many people. So, if you're a return visitor looking for this monstrous-looking rollercoaster & can't find it...well, no, you're not losing your memory. It isn't there!

Carnival games in the Cyclone Bay themed area

You can throw balls into baskets or milk cans, break balloons, fling a plastic ring onto bottle necks, toss a basketball into a hoop. In other words, if you like a particular game at your County Fair, you'll probably find a Six Flags Magic Mountain version of it here!

For kids and those less skilled (myself included!) there are games here in Cyclone Bay at Magic Mountain that everyone can easily play. There are games where you play in a match against several other opponents---and SOMEONE in the group wins a prize each time. If you can manage to catch a quiet moment in the day, you can create a "private" match against the other members of your family. And THAT means that your clan is 100% certain to walk away with a prize!

As you can see from the photos of Cyclone Bay at Magic Mountain, the prizes you can win have great kid-appeal...with a good selection of their favorite characters represented. During the summertime heat, you'll be glad to know that many of the games are situated so that they're shaded from the afternoon sun, and water vapor "misters" run continually to keep the paying players cool!

"Extra Fee" attractions at Cyclone Bay

Six Flags advertises this attraction as an experience in "skydiving without a parachute." Others liken it to a swing...but a swing for GIANTS. And, still other folks simply call it a "skycoaster." The facts tell us that it's 153 feet tall, and it can get you swinging at 60 MPH right after takeoff! The tall tower is used to hoist you (and your group) up to a height where you may swing widely to & fro...without running into anything. You'll have the "sky" to yourself! You'll dangle & swing...wildly at first, then gradually slowing to an eventual stop.

Since this ride is difficult to describe, I'm going to refer you to the Fay family's website, where you can watch them in a video as they ride the Dive Devil. (You may not be interested...and that's fine, too. But, since you'll be spending, at minimum, $20 to do this---the actual price varies on how many are riding at one time---you really NEED to know for sure if it's something you want to spend that kind of money on!) So...to watch that video, here's a link to www.the-fay-family.com/Magic.html.



TURBO BUNGY ATTRACTION: Another extra-fee attraction at Six Flags Magic Mountain is called "Turbo Bungy." This is a strange contraption: guests are strapped into a harness that they wear while bouncing on springy trampolines. Of course, while strapped into the safety equipment, it is easy to turn nonchalantly upside down and to bounce higher than a normal trampoline would allow---and that's why park visitors are willing to pay extra for this thrill!

THE CYCLONE BAY 500 is an extra-fee race-car ride in Cyclone Bay at Magic Mountain. The cars in the Cyclone Bay 500 attraction are NOT on a track. The driver is actually steering on this one, and so only riders 58 inches tall and above may enjoy this. This is a favorite ride for tweens who are itching to get behind the wheel of their own vehicle, but are too young for a driver's license!

Magic Mountain's "Rapids Camp Crossing" themed area

The climb up the hill is through a pleasant, green, thickly wooded area. By the time you get to the top...after passing all that beautiful scenery...your mind actually believes that a churning, white-water-rapids river could occur NATURALLY in that setting!

Six Flags Magic Mountain is proud that their "Roaring Rapids" raft ride was the first of this type in the Western USA. Of course, nowdays, several other parks in Southern California have rafting rides. With such an enjoyable type of attraction, there's always room for more!

This is a true family favorite for everyone in the clan over 42" tall. It's MOST fun, however, on a warm day that'll sun-dry you afterwards...because you WILL get soaked!





Katy's Kettle is a pleasant place to eat, if you happen to get hungry while venturing in this part of Six Flags Magic Mountain. The menu is limited to burgers or chicken strips with fries...and its taste is only "average"...but its hard to beat the atmosphere of dining under the pines! The attractive, rustic setting makes having a meal at Katy's Kettle a memorable experience, even if the food does not.
