With such a warm winter behind us, it’s sure to be an even hotter summer this year. The economy is slightly better and it’s my best bet that many families in the Los Angeles County region and surrounding counties will be heading to Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor for some summer fun.

But it’s not all fun and games when a person is arrested at the park. We’ve helped many people who call us, confused as to why their loved ones have been arrested there — even before entering the gates!

You see, there are security personnel you must pass through when entering the park. They use hand held body scan wands to check for any weapons and search inside all bags and women’s purses for any illegal contraband, etc.

“If someone attempts to bring in drugs or controlled substances of any kind, they will likely be arrested on the spot.”

It’s a different kind of rollercoaster for those who are arrested. They will never end up entering the park, rather, they will be directly transported to the local Santa Clarita Sheriff Station Jail for booking and processing.

For more information about drug arrests and California Health and Safety charges see our informative drug charge bail bond page.

There have been issues at the park in the past, such as gang fights and those who have been drunk in public and disorderly. Unfortunately, in 1998 a youth was arrested for the shooting death of another youth at Magic Mountain.

Those types of things don’t happen often there, as most people just go to have fun and get away from the daily grind.

  1. Carry small incidentals, bottled water, money, chapstick, etc. in a waist bag or back pack that can be zipped up tightly.
  2. Pack lightly and keep your money, keys and park passes secure and close.
  3. Bring sunscreen, hat and sunglasses
