Since March 14, 2020, the park has been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However on March 16, 2021, Six Flags Magic Mountain had an opening day of April 1 in mind and confirmed it on March 18, 2021 at 5 AM when reservations (which are required) opened. The park will open April 1 for passholders and members only and to the general public on April 3. However, according to state guidelines, only residents from California may enter the park. There are plans to put signs that say, "California Residents Only" in all California theme parks.
