Six Flags Magic Mountain Gives Guests 65 and Up a Free Season Pass

Six Flags Magic Mountain started handing out a free Senior Season Pass to visitors 65 and older on Wednesday, Nov. 4, according to Blooloop. The pass carries no blackout dates and is valid through Jan. 3.

For families, the offer means a grandparent can join a trip to the park without buying a ticket. Six Flags says it wants the program to bring in more multigenerational groups, though seniors are free to use the pass alone or with friends their own age.

Who can get the free Magic Mountain senior pass?

Anyone 65 years or older qualifies. Blooloop reports that the same free senior pass is available at every Six Flags park open in November and December, with one exception: Knott’s Berry Farm is not taking part.

The pass runs for what is left of 2026 and ends Jan. 3. Six Flags has not set any blackout dates, so a senior can use it on any day the park is operating.

How does a grandparent sign up?

Registration happens online and must be done before the first visit, or the free pass will not be active. The pass needs a photo. Seniors can upload one during online sign-up or have it taken at the park on their first trip.

At the front gate, staff will check a valid ID showing the holder’s date of birth. That check applies on every visit, so the ID has to come along each time.

What does the free pass leave out?

The senior pass covers park admission and nothing else. It does not come with the extras regular season pass holders get, and seniors cannot attach the all-season plans for skipping lines, meals, drinks or photos.

Parking is the biggest cost to plan around. Blooloop reports that seniors will pay between $42 and $77 to park on each visit, since parking is not part of the pass.

When is the park closed?

Magic Mountain is open on most days in November and December. Through the end of the year it will be closed on eight days: Nov. 4, 10, 17 and 18, and Dec. 1, 2, 8 and 9. Nov. 4 is listed both as the day the offer began and as a closed day, so the first chance to use the pass in the park came after that date.

What is there for a mixed-age group to do?

The park is best known for its 16 roller coasters, including Goliath, which reaches 85 mph, and Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom, which drops riders 40 stories. Two more coasters are planned: Thrill Glider in 2027 and ArieForce One in 2028.

Younger children and less adventurous riders have gentler choices, such as a carousel, bumper cars, a wave swing and the Justice League: Battle for Metropolis dark ride. During the holiday season the park also runs its Holiday in the Park festivities.

What does this mean for families planning a holiday visit?

A family bringing a grandparent can drop one admission from the bill for any visit through Jan. 3, as long as the senior registers online first. The savings are limited to the ticket. Parking still costs $42 to $77 per visit, and the senior pass cannot be upgraded with dining or line-skip plans, so those costs stay the same for the whole group.

Families near other Six Flags parks that operate in November and December can look for the same senior offer there. Families visiting Knott’s Berry Farm cannot use it.
