How about entry into Magic Mountian and KNOTTS for FREE ... (almost)

[captaincrash]

It's that time of year again and heres' news:

... That should save your family about $100+ depending upon how many go (and how often). Knotts and MM have again run thier Toys' for Tots program offerring free admittance for a dontated toy. We're entertaining proposals for when you might want to go. The more the merrier, eh? The simple details and dates are as follows.

Magic Mt. has free admission for an unwrapped new toy VALUED at $15 on Dec 7th, 13th & 14th.
Knotts is December 6-7, 13-14, and 20-21 with a $10 unwrapped toy.​

At KBF you save $42-52 per adult and $22 per child or senior. Here is the link to KBF web page - it is MIS-catagorized at the BOTTOM of this page in the section for FALL and not WINTER. http://www.knotts.com/park/calendar/index.asp

At Magic Mountain you'll save $59 per adult and $29 per child over age 2 and under 48". Here is the link for Magic Mountians' page on this event. http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/events/Toysfortheholidays08.aspx NOTE athat at Magic Mountain they have a potential security issue since they've got an obvious sheriff's office at the gate with an imposing row of airport style metal detectors (2 dozen?). It seems they've had gang members bringing weapons into the park to fight before. I've heard 3 gangs claim magic Mountin as inside "thier" terriroty... so occassionally there are "disagreements". However, for the time being Magic Mountian has the biggest and baddest roller coasters in Southern Cal.


Cheers,

Thanks for the heads' up, I think I'll be going to Knott's instead. Closer, and it'd be a better feeling to know that I didn't waste my time going to a packed Magic Mountain lol.

Don't be fooled. We've gone to Knott's every year except last year for Toys for Tots, and it DOES get packed. The only time it didn't was when it rained about 2 or 3 years ago and they actually closed the park. They gave everyone a free ticket to return, however.

Well obviously yea, Knott's would be packed too.

Just in my situation, I live closer to Knotts. I rather make the short trip to a packed Knotts rather then a hour trip to a packed Six Flags.
