“Out on the Mountain” LGBT Night Returns

Six Flags Magic Mountain’s annual “Out on the Mountain” LGBT Night returns this year on Friday, September 20, 2013. The entire park is closed to the general public for this private LGBT party from 6pm-1am. Over 6,000 people are expected to attend this year’s event.

“This is an exciting event to put on each year, where LGBT of all ages can enjoy an evening together with music, rides, and great fun,” says DJ Ray Rhodes.  “While I’ve been a DJ all over North America as well as a club promoter for many years, this event still holds a special place in my heart because of how it helps also so many worthwhile LGBT organizations and charities.”

Attendees will enjoy the Magic Mountain park with thrill rides including Six Flags Magic Mountain’s new ride Full Throttle, along with Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom, Green Lantern: First Flight, Superman: Escape from Krypton, Batman the Ride, Tatsu, Apocalypse, The Riddler’s Revenge, and X2.
