Kid rideSix Flags Magic Mountain Official park siteBugs Bunny WorldBradley and Kaye15 ft · 12 mph

A gentle kiddie coaster that served as a first credit for generations of young visitors to Magic Mountain since the park's opening year. Its tiny loop of track and low top speed made it accessible to riders too small for almost anything else in the park. Magic Flyer closed on January 5, 2026, alongside the rest of Bugs Bunny World, to make way for the larger Looney Tunes Land expansion.

Background

Magic Flyer opened on Magic Mountain's very first operating day in 1971, built by Bradley and Kaye as one of the smallest and gentlest attractions the park has ever offered. Its tiny loop of track and 12 mph top speed made it accessible to riders far too small for anything else at the park, and for over five decades it functioned as an unofficial rite of passage — the coaster where countless visitors got their very first credit.

Because kiddie coasters like this rarely receive the marketing attention or capital investment that headlining thrill rides get, Magic Flyer changed very little over its 55-year run beyond routine maintenance, giving it an unusually direct connection back to the park's opening-day lineup. Few, if any, other attractions from that original 1971 season remained in continuous operation for as long as this one did.

Magic Flyer closed permanently on January 5, 2026, as part of the broader shutdown of Bugs Bunny World that cleared the way for the Looney Tunes Land expansion. Its closure ended one of the longest continuously operating rides at the park and marked a quiet end to a piece of Magic Mountain's founding history.
