parks

Add some thrill to your holiday season by incorporating roller coasters into Christmas. Parks around Los Angeles get into the holiday spirit, some even offering free entry.

1. Universal Studios – Coming off of their terrifying Halloween theme, Universal completely shifts gears and makes the park a Christmas Wonderland. Most notably is changing Whoville into the Grinch’s home. The tree lighting starts December 11th, and goes on all month. Kids can play in real snow, listen to their favorite celebrity read a Christmas tale, and meet the mean old Grinch.

2. Six Flags Magic Mountain – Six Flags is encouraging it’s visitors to give this holiday. And rewarding those who bring a toy with free admission on December 5, 6, 12, and 13th. I love Six Flags and all their roller coasters: Terminator, SalvationTM: TheRide, X2, Tatsu, Scream, Goliath, Colossus, Viper.

3. Disneyland – Disneyland is the king of parks, making sure that everyone has a magical experience, and with Christmas it makes their job even easier. I experienced Christmas at Disneyland last year and it blew me away, from the ‘Its a Small World’ lights, the parade with all the familiar characters, and of course the castle with snow.
