Six Flags Magic Mountain continues its 38th season of family fun and entertainment with Spring Break Rock Out Xtreme, April 4-11.

The nine-day event will kick off with the first round of the Battle of the Bands competition on Saturday and Sunday, April 4 and 5, and a Mr. Six look-a-like contest on April 6.

Events continue the following week through April 11 with free DanceDanceRevolution and Guitar Hero gaming competitions.

Park guests rock the vote during Battle of the Bands, voting for their favorite groups. The qualifying rounds begin at noon in the Golden Bear Plaza on April 4 and 5 with the top scoring groups, by guest votes, moving on to the next rounds. The semi-final rounds begin at 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, April 8 through the 10. The top three groups will move on to the finals on Saturday, April 11 at 4 p.m. competing for cash prizes of $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000.

Monday, April 6, is Mr. Six Day. Park guests who dress in a black jacket, black pants, red bow tie, black glasses and bald head, will get their Park admission for an unprecedented $6. A group photo and Mr. Six dance lessons will take place at the main gate fountains at 6 p.m.

From noon to 7 p.m. every day in the Golden Bear Plaza during Spring Break Rock Out Xtreme, Park guests will have a chance to test their skills during the daily DanceDanceRevolution and Guitar Hero World Tour and Metallica gaming competitions. The top winner each day will take home park prizes.

Six Flags Magic Mountain continues its commitment to provide better entertainment, better service and better value to its guests and is also close to home.
