Kevin Barbee cut his theme park teeth at Magic Mountain, overseeing over US$45 million worth of improvements, including Batman: The Ride, Superman: The Escape, the High Sierra Territory, a Sports Illustrated second gate concept, and a second year expansion to the wildly successful Hurricane Harbor, the name of which he also coined. Located just 30 mile north of downtown Los Angeles, Magic Mountain reigns as the number one roller coaster park in the world.
