New Theme Park: After much talk about building a second Disney theme park and a resort in Anaheim, the Santa Clarita Valley may instead be the first Southland community to put two theme parks on the same property.

Time Warner’s Six Flags division said it will build a water park next to Magic Mountain in Valencia, to open next year. Called Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, the park will feature lagoons, replicas of shipwrecks, water slides and a wave pool.

Entrance to the water park will require a separate admission ticket from the neighboring Magic Mountain theme park.

“The new Six Flags California entertainment complex positions us as a key multiday tourist and regional destination in a market with great growth potential,” said Robert W. Pittman, chairman of Six Flags Entertainment.

The new park will be situated on 22 acres, making it about a quarter the size of Disneyland.
