Six Flags Takes on Disney and Universal
Southern California's leading roller coaster haven is ready to take on the big boys. Six Flags (NYSE: SIX) announced on Wednesday that Six Flags Magic Mountain, the chain's most popular amusement park, will be open every day in 2018. The move will pit the regional attraction against other year-round parks in the area, including Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Disneyland, Comcast's (NASDAQ: CMCSA) Universal Studios Hollywood, Cedar Fair's (NYSE: FUN) Knott's Berry Farm, and SeaWorld Entertainment's (NYSE: SEAS) SeaWorld San Diego.
Six Flags Magic Mountain has historically opened every day during the peak summer and holiday periods, while opening only on weekends during the off-season. Tacking on 100 more days to its operating calendar next year may not seem like much, but it's a big step up to match its southern rivals that are open every single day.
