    Short Lines?

    Arrive at Magic Mountain early (before the gates open!). Flash Passes are expensive, so I never buy it. Just go on these rides in this order and you shouldn’t need it:

    X2
    Tatsu

    Both of these coasters usually have the longest lines, so run to both of them when the park opens. The wait in the morning is like 5 minutes sometimes. After that, go to these rides:

    Superman
    Ninja
    Apocalypse
    Riddler’s Revenge
    Goliath
    Green Lantern
    Batman
    Scream
    Drop of Doom
    Full Throttle
    Revolution
    Viper
    Gold Rusher
    Twisted Colossus
