Six Flags Magic Mountain Closed Due to Severe Weather: What Guests Need to Know

As the weather in Southern California continues to shift into Spring, residents and tourists alike are preparing for a series of storms that are bringing powerful winds and heavy rain to the region. On March 14, 2025, Six Flags Magic Mountain, one of the area’s most popular theme parks, announced it would be closed for the day due to the inclement weather, which is expected to disrupt normal operations throughout the week.

Due to inclement weather, Magic Mountain will not open today, March 14, 2025. Tickets previously purchased for this date will be valid any regular operating date through December 31, 2025.

According to a statement from the park, Six Flags Magic Mountain will not be opening on March 14 due to the dangerous weather conditions predicted to affect Southern California. The closure comes as the first of two storms approaches, which will bring significant rainfall and high winds to the region. The National Weather Service (NWS) reports that the initial system will bring light to moderate rain to Los Angeles County, with between a third and two-thirds of an inch of rain expected. This is the weaker of the two storms, but it is still enough to make outdoor activities such as theme park visits unsafe.

The second storm, forecasted to hit by Thursday, is expected to bring even more rain. Rain totals in coastal areas and the valleys could reach between one and two inches, while mountain and foothill regions may see up to four inches of rain. With these conditions, it is clear why Six Flags Magic Mountain, known for its thrilling outdoor attractions, made the decision to temporarily suspend operations for the safety of its guests and staff.
