Magic Mountain got bought out by Six Flags way back in 1979.

I've went to Europe on a pilgrimage back in 1996 (?) with my parents and brothers. The trip was interesting although it would have been better if I wasn't stuck with a group of mostly elderly or middle aged Spanish Speaking pilgrims*. Besides for that trip the only country I've been to outside the US is Mexico, which is a given considering that my family's Mexican.
* I only have a marginal comprehension of the Spanish language and as a result, my uncle nicknamed me Indio (indian) which is somewhat of an insult since Nahault, Zapotec and Yucatec are considered to be the language of ignorant peasants to some Mexicans. To go further, theres a strange Mexican Nationalist Cultural vibe (even in the US) which leads aloit of Mexicans (especially first generation immigrants and their children ) to believe that if you are a Mexican and do not know Spanish then it means that you are ignorant, and a traitor to your own people. It's sad.. but when I used to go to Mexico as a kid (especially in regions away from the border) my parents discouraged me from speaking in public because of that attitude.
