Walking from the nearest house to Six Flags Magic Mountain takes around at least 50 mins. If you don’t believe me, check on maps.
That’s 50 mins of no shade, water, bathroom, or other pedestrians. If you get a heatstroke, you have few options. You can call an Uber and hope they are willing to illegally pick you up on the highway, pay for emergency services, or hope a good samaritan helps you out.
This isn’t unique to this location, this is just how almost all American amusement parks are. They are located somewhere out of the city for cheaper rent, with the expectation that everyone arrives by car. This is why they are surrounded by highways and have very few walkable paths and entrances on the outside.

I get that it would be impractical in the US specifically. I just didn’t think about you guys.
Six Flags, the amusement park mentioned in the post, are all located in the United states with the except of two in Canada and one in Mexico.
