magic mountain is closing? not just being sold?

Nothing has been said. The park is up for sale. I doubt they would just close the park if they didn't have a buyer.

Yeah, there's either a long step (and wait), or a long series of steps, between not getting a buyer and actually closing the park. No timeline has been announced, but I don't think they're close to announcing the park closing.

Plus, there are really only three options:

1. They sell to a real estate developer, guaranteeing closure of the park;
2. They sell to another theme park operator, guaranteeing operation (with changes, to be certain); or
3. They withdraw the sale offer, and make changes to that they can operate at a profit, or more efficiently.

There was a whole article in the paper the other day that stated basically NOBODY in the SCV wants it to close. Its too much of an attraction that brings people into the community.

An attraction that brings in the wrong people though. Just watch the exit of cars at night and they mostly go southbound on the 5. Nobody really comes into the city (thank God).

I agree. Last time I went there it was ... hmmm... to put it mildly, ghettoland. However, it would be sad to see it close, especially after all of the new rides they have opened in the past few years.
