Overview
- A pre-opening outage began around 9:15 a.m. and delayed the parks’ scheduled 10:30 a.m. openings on Wednesday, keeping guests outside the gates until staff announced a 1 p.m. start.
- Southern California Edison said it restored electricity around 12:15 p.m. and has opened an investigation into the cause.
- Six Flags said teams completed required safety inspections and restart procedures and reopened both Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor shortly after 1 p.m., with some rides coming online later due to individual restart cycles.
- The company did not say the outage was caused by park equipment and did not announce refunds, ticket extensions, additional hours, or how many visitors were affected.
- The interruption cost guests valuable morning ride time and joins several separate 2026 incidents at the park, including a brush fire, a bomb-threat sweep, weather closures, and construction-related shutdowns, which have heightened attention to operational reliability.
