[@adamlemus7585]

I started going to SFMM since 1987 and I worked at the park from 1998-2000. Flashback is the only ride I worked at where the crew would argue over who had to do safety rides. Sometimes the lead would give you a choice, go change trash can bags and sweep out the que line or do the safety ride. I got wise to this and managed to always make sure I was close to the broom and pans.

I rode it a couple of months ago, and had to sit the rest of the rides out to recover. It was 1:00 p.m.

[@Trancefreak12]

I enjoy the pretzel loop and understand that it's forceful, but I don't really see how it causes grey-outs. You're on your back, so your blood doesn't really rush out of your head, or so I'd think. Not denying anyone's experience here, I'm just missing something to logically put it together. As a side note, I'd really love to see a flying coaster that has a half-loop as the first drop.

[@MelieneGardner]

I was 42 when I rode Tatsu for the first time, and I had the absolute time of my life. So much so that I spent the rest of my day loop - riding it (managed about 5 or 6 rides getting back in line and riding again). It's my personal favorite coaster. I absolutely *love* the pretzel loop. So.... likely not related to age. :)

[@brandonm1708]

I rode it in the front, and though it had quite a bit of G force, it was more of a constant pressure, and was a huge plus side to the ride that makes it my favorite coaster I’ve been on.

here me out, full throttle is one of the best coasters in the park. Personally top 3 at sfmm. I recently got a front row ride at night. The insane hangtime on the loop gave me a chance to see valancia with all its lights on but up-side down. This was one of the coolest experiances of my life. I can agree with you that it couldve been so much more, but its still an amazing ride even though its very short.

[@hellacia8151]

Twisted Colossus is amazing. And even though it's an amazing RMC, there are still others like it in the country, so if you have ridden an RMC, you know what to expect, plus the fact that it isn't consistent with duels removes some value. X2 on the other hand is an absolute monster. It's the most insane coaster I have ever ridden, even looking at it still gives me shivers. So I definitely prefer X2 over TC.

[@AirtimeThrills]

True, for that reason I wouldnt put it on anyones bucket list and would definitely have X2 there. But the airtime it delivers is just amazing

[@scottyjbd]

[@dark666105]

SFMM is also my home park. I have been going off and on since 2001. I have been on many of the coasters you mentioned on this list, including Psyclone and the original Colossus (which was my first wooden coaster).

6:36 to put this into perspective, the tunnel towards the bottom left where the monorail comes out of is now where full throttle's second and third launches are. the little piece of land that divides those two bodies of water is where the loop is. the log flume was log jammer and all of the water was removed and paved over by full throttle plaza. the building in the bottom left is the laughing dragon pizza co (probably the 4 winds steak house at the time of the pic) and the path leading up is superman now. anything in the top right is full-throttle plaza and the path leading down to full throttle sports bar. the monorail closed down in 2000 after running for 29 years. there were stations behind full throttle sports bar, where crazanity is, and in that tunnel, now used by full throttle. log jammer was removed to make way for full throttle, and the lake was drained and filled in. the massive sequoia, which is just out of frame, was a major land mark of the high sierra territory. the park gave up on maintaining a desert / gold rush theme and let the foliage and trees grow in.

[@zacg_]

A few thoughts. First, Magic Flyer (under a different name) was my first coaster ever as a kid back in the early nineties and it will always have a special place in my heart. Second, I'm really surprised that Riddler's Revenge didn't make it in the top 10. Even if it is a stand up coaster I still think it's fantastic. Though you do have to position the seat just right. Last, I'm super glad you rank Viper so highly. I'm tall as well so it's not an issue and I still love that coaster. I remember as a kid thinking that it looked like the scariest coaster in the world but I lived it the first time I was tall enough to ride. It gets so much hate but it's a classic and the park needs to keep in running for a long time.

[@Devout214]

[@zeusdyman1433]

So, I grew up here in Southern Cal - I was alive when Magic Mountain opened! When, yes, The Gold Rusher was new. I have to say that I loved Mountain Express. It was a thrilling ride. Hated Flashback. And just by chance, I was at the park the day Colossus opened to the public. I was there for my birthday and we were walking right by it when a guy came out and announced that Colossus was now opened. We were in the first couple of rides. We were able to ride it again before the line really started to grow. It was so cool.

I threw up after riding Riddler's Revenge and I took a motion sickness pill which usually keeps me from getting sick so I don't know how that happened and it hurt my crotch so I've had one too many bad experiences with that ride to want it to stay a stand-up.

Mountain Express was a fun ride. In the first 5 years of the park when the only other "thrills" were Gold Rusher, Log Jammer and Jet Stream, it was worth a 30-40 minute wait. The original version of Colossus was intense, almost mean. Two 100+ foot drops with nothing but a lap bar definitely kept your attention. And I wholeheartedly agree with your appreciation of Apocalypse. Very underrated.

Nice video! Six Flags Magic Mountain is now my home park after I grew up with Six Flags Great America. Here are my thoughts on it. X2: I find myself enjoying this coaster more and more, It may leap frog Twisted Colossus as my favorite coaster in the park. It is real close. I really like Twisted Colossus in the back row, like most RMC's. Tatsu is my third favorite. I love the pretzel loop. I think Full Throttle, West Coast Racers, Apocalypse, and Batman are at the next level for me. I got about 40+ rides on West Coast Racers during media day so I have a good feeling for it. I think Full Throttle is more complete than what other say. It doesn't have a lift hill and that makes it feel shorter. I am finding that I am liking Viper more and more as well. I really liked Shockwave at Six Flags Great America back in the day. Brings back those memories. I think Superman is overrated. It is a one trick pony and the trick is average. I think I like Ninja a little more than you. I have it pretty similar to Bat at KI for me. Goliath is OK. Some days I like the forces in the helix, but I will never wait more than a few trains for this ride. Riddler's- I wish this was a sit down like Kumba. I'm not a fan of stand up coasters, but I think this layout would be awesome if you were sitting like Kumba. I liked Scream when I first rode it but I find myself liking it and most floorless coasters less and less. Superman at SFFT and Medusa at SFDK are the 2 good ones that I have been on. I liked Flashback when it was Z Force at SFGAM, but hey I was a kid. I know I liked it more than Iron Wolf. I was not a fan of LaVorba when I rode it last year at SFOT. Banged me up too much and the capacity was horrible It didn't make for a good experience. And finally I have Green Lantern as the second worse coaster I have been on so I'm not sad to see it go. Great video!

[@chadowe]

I haven't been to Magic Mountain in a long long time. Back then, my favorite ride was Colossus - BACKWARD. Sitting in that front seat, staring down the lift hill as we go up, then hearing people scream, then being whipped over the edge, staring into the sky, while falling backward. Colossus backward will always be at the top of my list.

[@HYDRAdude]

7:18 So I did ride this coaster several times when it was at Astroworld back in the day. The ride was very rough, probably from being taken apart and shipped half way across the country. Honestly, the excellent theme que was much better than the ride itself. I remember when it first opened and the coaster enjoyed long ques, but within a few years the thing was a station wait. The que was also very long, probably the longest at Astroworld, taking several minutes to walk through the thing since there were no shortcuts put in place. Compared to other stand up rides I have been on this was certainly the weakest and most uncomfortable.

[@rossrich1966]

Kudos for remembering Mountain Express. This may have been the very first coaster I ever tried--it was at the very front of the park-- when I first started going to MM in the '70s. I don't know what your definition of a roller coaster is, but Swiss Twist was a coaster to me and it was simple but fun. It was there a looooooong time. Coaster cars, coaster wheels, coaster track. Yup, it was a coaster.

revolution is pretty forceless but i give it credit for the first coaster with a vertical loop and if it wasnt around we wouldnt have full throttle or b&m loopers and i love the setting of it and i think its a fun ride

[@jordanmerchant8757]

Haven't been there in years but i remember the Viper being my favorite with Colossus and Goliath at 2&3. Seeing Goliath at 15 kinda breaks my heart a little but then again i haven't ridden the newer ones on this list to give it a goid comparison.

[@DoswarePictures]

The Zamperla Family Gravity at SFGAd was torn down to make room for Jersey Devil. It’s either gonna go somewhere else in the park, like what Michigan’s Adventure is doing with Big Dipper, or it’s gonna be sent to another park, though there’s a chance that it could also be scrapped entirely.

I always heard about Shockwave but I never rode it either. My first looped roller coaster was Revolution back in 1989. I really didn't spend a lot of time at Magic Mountain until the early 90's. I remember when Viper first opened. Anyway, I LOVE that 80's ad for Shockwave. All those people with black sunglasses looking serious wearing ties... HILARIOUS!

[@CoasterHour]

Awesome list I definitely need to ride WCR and reride Apocalypse and Viper.

[@PrincessTiffie]

Mountain Express was the very first roller coaster that I rode😺 Without going into details, I'm pretty sure the ride operator did not follow protocol (if there was such a thing in 1973) and allowed me to ride when it wasn't really safe😨 It scared me to death, and made me want to ride bigger coasters ... when I was older. I'm glad it ranked so high on your list😺

[@dark666105]

All I remember about psyclone was that high pitched squealing in the tunnel. I have fond memories of flashback though (but I also rode it in the mid 90s), however controversial that opinion might be.

[@scottyjbd]

Kylis how are fond memories of Flashback physically possible? 😜

[@dark666105]

@@scottyjbd I remember in my early teens closing my eyes and pretending I was in a space fighter. Funny enough this was decades before I knew what type of roller coaster it was. Also when I rode it, it wasn't rough.

[@scottyjbd]

Kylis wow brave enough to close your eyes!! I could practically stand up while in restraints, so if I did this, I could push my head above the restraints and THEN it was marginally enjoyable. Were you a tall kid?

[@dark666105]

@@scottyjbd No, pretty short. I'm 5'5" now and I'm 38.

[@topbaker4651]

Flashback was a chiropractor dream coaster. Lots of business from people after riding it

[@BruinPhD2009]

Holy cow! I didn’t know Sarajevo Bobsleds morphed into La Vibora. I rode it at Magic Mountain when I was an undergrad at UCLA. Too cool.

[@GForceThrills]

I don’t know why scream is so low it’s actually a really fun B&M Floorless coaster

[@AirtimeThrills]

Compared to other floorlesses the elements arent great and its rough

[@NRGZX6R]

Twisted definitely takes my #1. We rode it 88 times in our 1 full month at MM!

[@michaelsands3609]

Love the content!

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

7:17 I actually rode Shockwave when it was at Astroworld as Batman the Escape. I was new to riding coasters at the time, and I remember it being uncomfortable and giving plenty of headbanging. Oddly, that & La Vibora are the only Intamins that I have ever disliked, and they both used to be at your home park, in the same plot of land. I like the more modern B&M stand-ups far better, and for me personally, I don't think I would like Riddler's Revenge more as a floorless. But if it were converted to a sit-down like Kumba, that's another story. I love to see Viper in your top 5. I'm so happy that I finally was able to get on it earlier this month, and it did not disappoint!

[@trash4miku]

as someone who has ridden la vibora so many times as a kid it was fun but now as an adult I very much dislike it and I am glad we have it in over texas and it’s always busy but man it’s not my fav

Where is the Larson Loop ;)

[@purdysworld]

Great video! I was at the park in 1988 and loved the Shockwave! I'm in Tampa now and have Busch Gardens and Universal in Orlando 2 hours away so I'm able to get my fix but if I go back to LA I will definitely go there again!

[@MrMywildside]

I heard Psyclone was actually a great ride during the first few years of its life but the Northridge earthquake of 1994 caused a lot of structural damage, and it just wasn’t the same since. They couldn’t fix it up to its original state no matter what they did.

[@Neitenth]

That was my experience. Loved it... briefly.

[@CozmoNurse]

Psyclone was a blast when it first opened. I loved i!

[@davidmiles533]

Shockwave was a great coaster. It was one of the best rotating coasters they brought. The bobsled coaster ( forget name ) was a blast and a different ride each time.

My wife spend three half days at magic mountain this week. Her thoughts. My wife is between GP and true coaster enthusiast. Her favorite ride was Goalith in the park, I was surprised too. Also loved West Coast Racers and Full throttle. As SFNE is our home park, she wanted to ride launch coasters, which of course we are missing at the park. X2 was a bit intense for her, but enjoyed Twisted Collasus. She does like Wicked Cyclone more. She also liked the flats as well, the drop of doom especially. Its a shame that Deju Vu is such a junker as Goalith at SFNE. We don't ride it at all, and actively want it removed! She did not ride Tatsu, but has ridden Superman at Great Adventure, which is similar I believe. We want to get to Magic Mountain as a family one day. Thanks for the video.

[@thequackenscoasterchannel2927]

Don't be too sad you didn't experience Shockwave. I've ridden Cobra at La Ronde, and it was one of the worst coasters I've experienced. So don't feel bad that you've never ridden an Intamin Stand-Up

[@alexandram5845]

Viper is the main coaster I want to reride next time I go to MM. I just really want to know what I missed the two times I’ve ridden it before because I don’t remember enjoying it much. Granted, I had an ear infection the first time I rode it but the second time wasn’t much better

[@capelax24]

I just went yesterday for the first time and went in with a positive attitude because of all the haters, but I didn't really enjoy it at all and thought it was the roughest coaster I rode in the park

[@myrosclayton4737]

you daughter has more credits than me :(

[@cancelled148]

They should start putting big parks in the Six Flags chain for 365 days a year. They should honestly put more kiddie rides. There’s only like 2 kiddie lands and they’re in front of the park. They should add a DC Kiddie Area like they added in Over Georgia. Idk if it’s possible but it could be. They should also add a entrance by Scream. This park is so big and it’s hard walking from Twisted Colossus to the entrance. I really agree with you on Scream. While I have only ridden Bizzaro, the inversions are very mild. I think it’s supposed to be a relaxing coaster mostly.

[@DoswarePictures]

FredsTheFaz BazClaz I’m kinda predicting a kids area expansion for SFGAD in 2021

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

"Uhh, it was okay I guess" that describes so many XD Stupid hot rod races might not be as bad as it is if the restraints weren't actually butt, one of the few restraints I'll actually complain about, but those things were terrible x.x I wanted to ride that tube side so bad cuz it seemed really bizarre to have a water ride in not a water park, I just had to figure out how it worked, but by the time I went it was already gone...>.> Same thing goes for flashback, it seems like honey concept, but literally everyone says it was garbage (which when you look at the POV it's not much wonder why...), its that irl RCT2 ride that looks better on paper then in practice (though I do still wonder if it would be better if they redesigned it and worked out the Kinks it had 🤷🏿‍♀️)

[@aaronirineo8590]

Went yesterday for the first time ever, with a couple of buddies. All I can say is Twisted Colossus and Tatsu are my favorite so far!!
