Was a January Opening Beneficial to Six Flags Magic Mountain? - Funnel Cake for Thought

Part of a new series I'm starting called "Funnel Cake for Thought" where I throw out ideas about industry that I have in my head that want to get out! The first one is about West Coast Racers opening January and was it actually the park's best option for an opening time?

Thanks to Theme Park Worldwide!:
