Overview
- Six Flags announced on Sept. 10, 2026 that Thrill Glider is already under construction on the former Golden Bear Theatre site and is scheduled to open in 2027.
- The attraction uses individual 'hovercycle' vehicles that rotate riders into a prone, face‑forward position suspended beneath the track, combining flying, motorbike and suspended‑coaster systems.
- Official specifications list about 3,380 feet of track, a top speed of 50 mph, multiple launches, five inversions, 12 airtime moments, a 107‑foot peak and an approximately 80‑second ride time.
- Six Flags says the experience will include a sci‑fi story told in a Futurist Pavilion with holographic exhibits, synchronized onboard audio, immersive lighting and a 48‑inch minimum height to widen family access, and the park has begun season‑pass tie‑ins to promote the attraction.
- The company frames Thrill Glider as a milestone in Magic Mountain's multi‑year transformation to compete regionally, a move covered alongside separate reporting about unrelated ride safety investigations at the park.
