Six Flags MCP for Claude — live wait times, park hours, shows, and day planning
MCP server for Six Flags theme parks — live ride wait times, park hours, show schedules, and day planning. Your home park (default Carowinds) is the default for every tool, so "what are the wait times?" just works. Covers the whole combined Six Flags / Cedar Fair chain: Cedar Point, Kings Island, Canada's Wonderland, Magic Mountain, the Hurricane Harbor water parks, and more.
Data comes from the public themeparks.wiki API — no account, no API key, no login.
Built and maintained by AI. This codebase is developed and maintained by Claude (Claude Code). Use at your own discretion.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
sixflags_get_wait_times | Every ride's current standby + single-rider wait and status, sorted longest-first, with a crowd summary. |
sixflags_suggest_next | Ranks currently-open rides by shortest wait — the "what should we ride next?" planner. Supports exclude, maxWaitMinutes, limit. |
sixflags_get_park_schedule | Operating hours from today forward. |
sixflags_get_shows | Today's live show schedule (parades, stunt shows, character meets) with showtimes. |
sixflags_list_attractions | The full directory of a park's rides / shows / restaurants, with map coordinates. |
sixflags_list_parks | Every Six Flags park and its id; search to filter. |
sixflags_healthcheck | Confirm the upstream data source is reachable. |
Every data tool takes an optional park argument (name, slug, unique substring, or id). Omit it for your home park.
Via npx (published to npm):
{
"mcpServers": {
"sixflags": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "sixflags-mcp"],
"env": { "SIXFLAGS_HOME_PARK": "Carowinds" }
}
}
}
Or as a Claude Code plugin from the chrischall marketplace, or install the .mcpb bundle from a release.
All optional — the upstream is keyless.
| Env var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
SIXFLAGS_HOME_PARK | Carowinds | Default park for tools that don't name one. A park name, themeparks.wiki slug, or park id. |
SIXFLAGS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS | 15000 | Per-request timeout. |
SIXFLAGS_USER_AGENT | sixflags-mcp (+…) | User-Agent sent to themeparks.wiki. |

Wait times, show times, and hours are provided by themeparks.wiki, which aggregates the parks' own apps. They populate only during operating hours — off-hours every ride reads CLOSED. Treat waits as best-effort estimates, not guarantees.
