When Six Flags Magic Mountain rides break down
Closures by the hour they start
843 breakdowns · late starts excluded
Breakdowns cluster at 6pm, with 160 of the 827 closures that started before the park's final hour beginning then - so the ride you most want is safest earlier in the day, not saved for last. A further 404 rides simply were not running at opening, which is a late start rather than a fault and is counted separately. The other 16 closures start in the 10pm hour, when the park is shutting - those are rides finishing their day, not failing, so they are left out here.
Six Flags Magic Mountain downtime day by day
Share of ride hours lost
11 Sept to 9 Nov
The worst day in this window was 1 Nov, when 36.1% of the park's ride hours were lost and 40 of 40 rides went down at some point.
Uptime is the share of the park's own operating minutes a ride was running, recorded every few minutes and averaged over 39 days. A closure counts as one breakdown when it lasts ten minutes or more; shorter stops still count towards time lost, because a two-minute reset is not a fault. Touching closure windows are merged into one closure - a ride shut all day arrives from the feed as that day sliced into the sampling interval, and counting each slice would report one bad day as a hundred breakdowns.

Does weather affect Six Flags Magic Mountain reliability?
Yes. Water rides close in heavy rain, and exposed coasters close in lightning, high winds or very cold temperatures. These figures reflect actual operations including weather closures, which is why uptime varies through the year.
