Goliath @ Six Flags Magic Mountain
The word is Six Flags Magic Mountain is for sale and although they're trying to sell the place as one huge lot, they're willing to break it up into smaller lots.
With all the wealth and riches in this town, you'd think that thered be someone up in this piece who has all his rides pimped, all his cribs crunked, and all of his bitches sweet-sixteened and seriously wants to have an amusement park in his back yard.
Second largest city in America and someone can't figure out a way to entertain the kids north of the 101? How will Valencia continue to charge an average of $130 a night for a room? Does LAist have to figure out everything for you? MTV should buy it, they should partner with PlayStation and Apple, let the people from In-N-Out run the place and let the House of Blues get concerts in that bad boy every night in the summer.
And there should be a drive-in there too.
