This brochure is not dated but must be from 1971 or possibly early 1972. Only the original attractions are listed and the ticket price of $5 for adults is the lowest price I’ve seen in print.
Too groovy baby. I like the purple tank top with the white pants, seriously I do...
“A True Natural Wonderland”. Wonderland sure, but Natural? Valencia is a nice place, but it doesn’t naturally have waterfalls and fountains that shoot 30 feet in the air. "One price buys the Whole Mountain", no pesky ticket books to bother with!
A Total Entertainment Experience. It really was…
I think I’ll use my Master Charge thank you very much.
If you’re really into Vintage Magic Mountain and you haven’t seen all my previous posts, check them out here (link). This makes the 15th post for Magic Mountain!

Master Charge.... Zowie! I'd rather use my BankAmericard, it's more groovy!
LOL, you beat me to it Bearride. Do you have the old style of BankAmericard that is really long and skinny? (And if you were a woman, was issued under the name Mrs. John Smith??)
Who's the mouse in the top hat opposite Speedy Gonzalez? And does anybody remember Dixi Cola?
I didn't know that the Warner Bros. characters appeared at Magic Mountain in these early years. Where is the Wizard? Where are the Trolls?
Just as with Knott's and Disneyland....I miss the old Magic Mountain! Bring back the Metro Monorail! Heck, bring back the Magic Pagoda...or an updated version of it! Does everything have to be a thrill ride?
Great post! Terrific "preview day" artwork...thanks for the link to that older post.
For anyone interest, I found POV video of the Mountain Express coaster.
It's currently located in a Mexico amusement park and going by the name of Montana Rusa. Enjoy.
