Supervisor Michael Antonovich has requested a meeting with the Six Flags CEO Mark Shapiro, following in the footsteps of the City of Santa Clarita's request for a meeting as well.

Both the City and the County are striving to save the Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor them parks from being sold to developers. Magic Mountain is one of the area's major employers, and also generates a lot of tourist revenue to the Santa Clarita area.

The City of Santa Clarita is hoping to entice Magic Mountain to annex into the City to enjoy some of the financial savings and other benefits that the City can offer, which include lower local taxes than the standard Los Angeles County offerings. Neither Antonovich's office nor the City of Santa Clarita have indicated whether they would be offering Six Flags any financial incentives other than the City's offering of no utility taxes or admissions taxes for the park. The County typically charges a 5% utility tax plus taxes on admissions and business taxes.
