California - Six Flags Magic Mountain is proceeding with the development of a new suspended motorbike coaster designed by the Dutch manufacturer Vekoma. This roller coaster, scheduled to open in 2026, will provide an off-road motorcycle experience across the park’s landscape.
Construction Progress and Details
The roller coaster is planned to occupy the site of the former Golden Bear Theater, covering a total area of 3.4 acres. Recent updates show that construction components, including support beams, have begun arriving at the park, indicating active progress on the project. The initial site clearing has been completed, although some delays have been reported in the construction schedule.
Official Approvals and Investment
The Los Angeles County Planning Department approved the necessary construction permits in January. This project is part of a broader $1 billion investment by Six Flags in new rides. Despite construction delays, Six Flags Magic Mountain is aiming for a late 2026 opening for the coaster.
Ride Specifications
The attraction is a Vekoma Thrill Glider, a new model that will simulate an off-road motorcycle journey. Vekoma is known for its roller coaster designs. This particular model is designed to incorporate the park’s natural topography into the ride’s layout.
