History

On August 30, 2018, Six Flags Magic Mountain announced West Coast Racers.[1]

Construction began months behind schedule in May 2019 following a delayed delivery of finished track. The first pieces arrived reportedly later than expected in February 2019.

Following several delays with construction, the park announced on December 11, 2019 that West Coast Racers would open to passholders later that month on December 21. It officially opened to the public less than a month later on January 9, 2020.[2]
