On the heels of opening a brand new dark ride, Six Flags Magic Mountain, the undisputed “Thrill Capital of the World,” today unveiled plans for a crazy fun 2018 when CraZanity, the world’s tallest pendulum ride, makes its debut in late spring.

“The new CraZanity is a mash up of craziness and insane fun, an experience different from anything else we have in our unparalleled thrill ride arsenal.” said Park President Bonnie Sherman Weber, ” We are delighted to introduce what will be the centerpiece of a newly-themed, Boardwalk area, and another world-record attraction.”

The Boardwalk highlights include:•CraZanity – where 40 riders will experience speeds up to 75 miles-per-hour as they reach a world-record 17 stories high;•The pendulum swings back and forth while rotating counterclockwise; •As guests swing higher and higher, they will experience a feeling of weightlessness at 172 feet in the air; and,•Enhanced Bumper Cars, renovated attractions, dining, games and shopping.

The Los Angeles-based theme park also recently announced it is entering the destination travel market by launching a 365-day operating calendar on January 1, 2018.
