Magic Mountain may not be the first place you think of to take younger children, but if you do bring them along, you'll find that 17 rides have no height restrictions at all (although they may require an adult to ride along) and another dozen have a minimum of 42 inches or less, the height of an average 7-year-old.
Turn toward the right just past the entrance area and you'll find Bugs Bunny World, an area that's targeted toward the shorter set. Looney Tunes characters hang out here and little ones will love a train ride from Whistle Stop Depot.
For the slightly older kids, the paper map you get at the entrance lists rides suitable for thrill-seekers in training - and although they're extreme thrill rides, X2 and Goliath have 48-inch height limits, making them the only choice for adventurous kids who are big enough to get on.
