sixflags-mcp

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.

Tools

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.

Install

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.

Configuration

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.

Development

npm install
npm run build          # tsc → dist/, then esbuild bundle → dist/bundle.js
npm test               # vitest run
npm run test:coverage  # 100% coverage gate (CI)
npm run dev            # node --env-file=.env dist/index.js (requires a build)

Data source & accuracy

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.
