How busy is Six Flags Magic Mountain in September?
We are coming over from Australia and I think that our only free day in L.A is on Saturday the 20th of September. Would this a busy day at Six Flags? Would you recommend us buying a flashpass?

Make sure they’re open by checking their website. They should be open on Saturday.
Usually Saturdays are pretty busy, so my advice would be to get there early before they open and wait in line. When you get in, ride the best rides first: X-Ride, Batman, Goliath, Riddler’s Revenge because those rides are the ones with the longest lines.
I never used the flashpass so I don’t know if they help move you faster through the lines. By the time you wait until the time you can use the pass, you might have gone through faster if you just waited in line. And it costs extra right?
Have fun and bring sunscreen.
Generally six flags doesn’t open unless it’s an ok business day meaning lines are at shortest 1-3 hours for "XXX, Deja Vu, and tatzu" Early september I would think is worst since that’s the last days of vacation for students, so they want to make the most of those last few days. Be prepared to stand for a long time, and where plenty of sun block!
Since your traveling from so far for vacation, spend the extra dollar(s) for any way to bypass the lines.
