Six Flags Magic Mountain opens late after "multiple bomb threats," CHP says
An investigation into "multiple bomb threats" delayed Monday's opening of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia by about an hour, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The incident was reported at 7:54 a.m., and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said a threat indicated that a bomb was allegedly placed at a specific location within the park.
It's not yet clear exactly what and where the investigation was taking place, or if the threat was credible.
Aerial images showed an LASD armored vehicle parked outside the Apocolypse roller coaster at 9:10 a.m., but it's not yet clear if that's where the threat was called.
At 9:29 a.m., the Magic Mountain account on X posted that the park was "aware of police activity" and is "currently monitoring the situation."
The park was scheduled to open at 10:30 a.m. Monday. At 11:30 a.m., the CHP said all entrances were open and responding officers had cleared the scene.
No additional details were immediatley made available.
