In honor of July, Six Flags Magic Mountain will be transformed into a three day “All-American” weekend of patriotic festivities, July 2 to 4, highlighted by a dazzling fireworks show set to flag waving music each night during the “Coca-Cola July 4th Fest.”

Beginning Saturday, July 2, the Coca-Cola Company and Six Flags Magic Mountain celebrates the USO’s 75 years of commitment to strengthening America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation.

Six Flags Magic Mountain will lend their support to the USO’s Campaign to Connect, a new digital message platform designed to show appreciation to those who serve. The Coca-Cola Company and Six Flags parks are urging theme park visitors to help the USO send 1 million messages of support to our military members and their families by publishing personalized messages online.

A USO representative will be in the Coca-Cola Fun Zone to help with guests messages to our troops.

Six Flags Magic Mountain will celebrate America’s birthday with a musical salute featuring bands in the park throughout the day capped off each evening with a dazzling star-spangled fireworks show. The show can be viewed from the Main Gate Plaza area and the Full Throttle Zone.

To honor our military, active and veterans, and their families, Six Flags Magic Mountain offers a $20 discount on every general admission ticket purchased. Up to four tickets may be purchased with a valid U.S. military ID. This offer is good at the Six Flags Magic Mountain ticket booths and is available any operating day. Military discounts are also available on Hurricane Harbor general admission tickets, and are $8 off.

Also during the three day holiday weekend, any guest who brings a Coke can along with paid admission or a valid season pass, will be admitted one hour early for exclusive ride time on some of the park’s most popular rides.

Six Flags Magic Mountain is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 2. The theme park is open 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on July 3 and 4.

The New Revolution, North America’s first fully integrated virtual reality roller coaster using Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus, is open.

From the moment rider’s board, the traditional roller coaster experience is transformed. High-definition imagery and storytelling sync with the unique track configuration, creating a one of a kind seamless “real world” to “virtual world” thrill ride experience. Riders are now co-pilots seated in the cockpit of a true-to-life fighter jet, flying through a futuristic city while virtually engaged in a battle to protect the planet against alien invaders, all while racing over the 3,500 feet of twisting, turning, looping coaster track.
