The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce (SCV Chamber) is encouraging Santa Clarita residents to sign a letter meant to urge state officials to allow Southern California theme parks like Six Flags Magic Mountain to re-open.

Sign onto our letter and urge Governor Newsom to allow for Six Flags Magic Mountain and other parks to re-open safely! Visit our Impact SCV page at the SCV Chamber Website under our Advocacy tab.

California’s amusement parks and attractions want to be a part of the solution as California faces the unprecedented hurdles presented by COVID-19.

After the Governor rolled out the Resilience Roadmap, California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA) crafted a comprehensive plan with health and safety protocols for parks to re-open. Our parks have been busy planning and preparing to implement their own site-specific plans for re-opening in a manner that promotes the safety of both guests & employees.

Economic recovery will be slow-going. It will take time for consumer confidence to return and for struggling families to plan a trip to an amusement park. According to data collected from Visit California, the Tourism industry is suffering immense losses, with travel-related spending not expected to recover until 2024.

Our parks are ready to re-open in a responsible manner and yet they have not been authorized to do so.
