Park attendance drops if we can wait out the rain.

• Thunderstorms or strong rains close Magic Mountain
• Moderate rain will close outside rides
• Light rain will close up to half the available rides

We should arrive at the parking lot over one hour before Magic Mountain officially opens. These strategies focus on reducing the walk time between popular rides with the longest wait times.

1. X2
2. Tatsu
3. West Coast Racers
4. Apocalypse
5. Superman: Escape
6. Ninja
7. Lunch

Difference from going right: Full Throttle, Goliath & Twisted Colossus

1. Full Throttle ← this is a low capacity per hour roller coaster
2. Goliath
3. Twisted Colossus
4. West Coast Racers
5. Apocalypse
6. Superman: Escape
7. Ninja
8. Lunch

Difference from going left: Tatsu & X2

• Batman the Ride
• Crazanity ← night lighting looks spectacular
• Justice League: Battle for Metropolis
• Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
• Revolution

• Scream!
• Viper ← rough ride

Crowds thin out near closing. We can board popular rides that were missed and repeat any based on how busy the park is that day.
