Theme Park Report
Six Flags Magic Mountain appears to have delayed the announcement of its new 2027 roller coaster by another week, teasing a reveal for September 10 instead of the September 3 date previously promised.
According to Theme Park Insider, the Valencia, California, park posted a teaser video on social media featuring the message “The future is beginning to GLIDE into view.” The video ended with the words “Glide into the Future” and the date “9.10.26.”
The teaser indicates that the park may make its official announcement next Thursday, although Six Flags did not specify in the cited post exactly what will be revealed. The park had previously told fans that an official announcement would be made on September 3.
The upcoming project is expected to be a Vekoma Thrill Glider, a ride model identified in government planning documents referenced by Theme Park Insider. The latest teaser marks at least an acknowledgment from Six Flags that the Magic Mountain project will use that model, though the supplied reporting does not include additional specifications or an official opening date beyond the project’s association with the park’s 2027 coaster plans.
The “Glide into the Future” wording appears to reference the ride’s planned model, but the park has not yet publicly provided further details in the cited material. It also remains unclear whether the September 10 event will be the full project announcement or another teaser related to the coaster.
There was no update on X2 in the park’s latest announcement. The fourth-dimension roller coaster is described by Theme Park Insider as troubled and currently closed, with the outlet noting that its eventual reopening remains uncertain. Six Flags Magic Mountain has not provided a future status for X2 in the information cited.
