Carousel Mugs
Description: Magic Mountain was a 262-acre theme park located in Valencia, California, 35 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. It opened on May 29, 1971 with 500 employees and 33 attractions. The admission price in 1971 was $5 for adults, and $3.50 for children between the ages of 3 and 12. Because the park was in a relatively remote part of Los Angeles County, the Greyhound provided bus service between the park and Los Angeles. During the first season, the park contracted well known cartoon characters as costumed mascots, but for the second year, they were replaced with the in-house troll characters they had developed. The park still exists today under new ownership and a new name, and actually holds the world record for most roller coasters.
