Families rolling into Six Flags Magic Mountain this week are finding a whole lot of construction walls where the little kids’ rides used to be. The park has closed the entire Bugs Bunny World area while crews transform the children’s zone into a new Looney Tunes Land. The move has shut down most of the family attractions in that corner of the park, with only Road Runner Express still operating. Parents planning a trip are being urged to check updated ride availability before making the drive to Valencia.
Which rides are closed and when rides return
According to the Six Flags scheduled ride closures page, the shutdown currently affects Merrie Melodies Carousel, Yosemite Sam’s Flight School, Elmer Fudd’s Weather Balloons, Daffy’s Adventure Tours and Taz’s Trucking Company, along with several smaller family attractions. The same page lists Jet Stream and LEX LUTHOR™: Drop of Doom as slated to reopen on May 23 and notes that attraction availability is subject to change without notice.
Why crews shut the whole area
Park officials told local outlets they had originally planned a phased remodel, but a run of weather delays pushed them to close the entire area so work can be finished ahead of the summer rush. That account was reported by KRON4, which also notes that the park has not announced a firm opening date for Looney Tunes Land.
What Looney Tunes Land will bring
Six Flags has previously said it will merge Bugs Bunny World with the adjacent Whistlestop Park into a larger Looney Tunes Land, rolling the project out in phases. The plan calls for refreshed facades, new character zones and a mix of repurposed and new family attractions. As detailed by Attractions Magazine, the overhaul will also take out a handful of smaller kiddie rides to make room for the upgrade.
Big coaster permits point to a 'first-of-its-kind' ride
Separate from the kids’ area work, county permitting documents reviewed by industry outlets reference a project tagged "90011" that describes a suspended Vekoma "Thrill Glider" coaster planned near the park’s skyline. Theme Park Tribune reports that the design combines a suspended layout with motorbike-style seating, a configuration that has not yet been built in the U.S.
Timing, anniversaries and what’s next
Park officials have told local outlets to expect a public update on the big coaster later this summer, and reporting indicates the project’s opening window has been pushed into 2027. At the same time, the park is marking the 50th anniversary of The New Revolution with restored naming, commemorative merchandise and a historical video in the queue. Those timing and anniversary details were reported by KRON4.
How families should plan
While work continues in the kids’ area, park officials say families can still find other family-friendly attractions and meet-and-greets across the park. Guests are encouraged to check the park’s ride-closure page and the official app for the latest information before visiting. For now, the park is listing a short reopen window for Jet Stream and LEX LUTHOR™ that visitors may want to confirm on the day of their trip.
