My RETURN to Magic Mountain & First Battle With Wonder Woman Golden Flight of Lasso Courage

On October 7th I made my return to Six Flags Magic Mountain to ride the park's 20th coaster, Wonder Woman Flight of Courage, and took Sophie to the park for the first time in 2 1/2 years to get some new credits for herself.

Every time you question Sophie, she always takes a minute to gather her thoughts. Which is why I found it hilarious how quickly she delivered “Joker was so much better.”

[@coasternut2022]

I come to this park frequently. "Bassoul the fool" is taking his toll on the ride ops and food. Crazanity WAS a great ride. It had lots of airtime and a higher swing path. They blew the motor, and replaced it with another. It's either a weaker one, or the programming is off. I don't bother riding it anymore. So sad...

[@HockeyGUY66871]

On sky rocket at Kennywood i can only ride in row 1 or 4 since they offer the most space. So yeah only the front row on each car. Premier trains suck, I don’t really like Premier Rides since I think alot of their new stuff is just OK or absolutely horrible. They used to be so much better back in the 90s and early 00s. Their trains back then are great. They are comfortable and easy to get in and out of.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

Fellow Viper fan here. People just don't appreciate how great it is. I agree that X2 is almost a perfect ride, if not for that last raven turn. I clasp my hands behind my neck for that element, which works every time.

[@chekherjoy]

I appreciate Sophie's coaster takes. Twisted Timbers is the superior RMC. Also I went to California for the first time last week, picked up 30 new credits, and managed to tie Sophie's credit count. My favorite coasters at Magic Mountain were Goliath, X2, and Full Throttle.

[@lucashopkins5485]

I have rode Wonder Woman about 6 or 7 times, one in the front, one in the back, and the rest in the middle of the train. I would have to say that the back is the way to go for the ride. You get some nice ejector airtime (yes even with the shoulder straps) on the first drop, drop off the turn around, and the midcourse. It also give you nice airtime (not quite ejector level) on all the hills. Its a pretty fun and long ride.

[@lucashopkins5485]

Also gotta say that wonder woman at night is pretty good, but Apocalypse ran rough and stapled me (I have ridden Apocalypse plenty of times in the past to know how good the layout and ride experience, but I think I just got a bad ride on my last visit) Soda Springs was one of two or three open soda stands during Fright Feast. Just like you, the food in the back of the park was closed. I just Six Flags Magic Mountain has not been in full swing lately.

[@clairefunnell8481]

Great looking park. Neat rides too. Hooray for Sophie, so many credits. She's a brave girl.

[@CoasterCrazy28]

You are literally the only coaster youtuber whose vlogs are actually entertaining, keep up the good work!

[@guitarman416]

Haven’t ridden the single rails at all yet but based on video, I would presume Lasso Courage (that name is staying forever now) and Jersey Devil won’t feel as whippy with their larger elements, making the best restraint less of an issue. Looking forward to getting up to Magic Mountain to try it

[@ScottyMania313]

When you ran into Coaster Studios, I immediately thought of the film "Twister" when the fancy news team had a run-in with the scientists - led by Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt & Phillip Seymore Hoffman while chasing the same storm. 🤓

[@slyx_edits]

SFMM top 5 gotta be, Twisted Collusus(green side is better just bc of the stall), X2(last raven turn hurts but if you brace you'll be fine, full throtle(why counldn't they make it a bit longer), Tatsu( Solid ride, defintley on of the best fliers), goliath(kind of fun bc of the hight and speen but no airtime and the midcourse kills the pacing, the helix is fun)

[@brittneymoore-miller8354]

Love seeing your videos with Sophie. My best coaster trips are always with my kids. We took my kids to Magic Mountain in April. They were 10 & 8 at the time and both wanted to ride X2, but only if we thought they could handle it. Immediately after our first ride, we knew there was no way and went back to our hotel. We did a second day at Magic Mountain and took my 8 year old to ride Magic Flyer (he’s a credit hungry little monster) and then he decided that despite our warnings he wanted to ride X2 next…I kid you not. Still think it’s wild it only has a 48 inch height requirement. However, it was very memorable to go from watching him barely squeeze into the front car on Magic Flyer and then immediately beeline for X2. His enthusiast energy puts me to shame! My 10 year old decided to put X2 off for another visit, so my son is extra proud of the credit. Plus, he wore his Airtime Thrills shirt I bought him for Christmas on the ride. 😊

[@AirtimeThrills]

The shirt gives him extra powers for sure...and i try to keep sophie from the ultra extreme or bumpy rides so X2 will have to wait a long time for her

[@brittneymoore-miller8354]

@@AirtimeThrills That’s a good call! To be honest! I spent 15 minutes trying to talk him out of it. The year before he was too scared to go on Steel Force at Dorney Park. 😅 Since we live in New Hampshire, I think he had too much FOMO to leave a credit on the table he was tall enough for, especially since he couldn’t ride anything with a 52 or 54 inch height requirement our entire California trip.

[@praetorian1877]

Ahh how I miss my home park! I will be heading back to SoCal next week. It’s hilarious how you troll your daughter on her coaster opinions. Haha The back and forth with Taylor was great. I should be riding Wonder Woman sometime this year, hopefully. The edit jokes were on point! Haha

[@rct3isepic]

To be honest, I like Wonder Woman more than Twisted Colossus. Mostly just for the restraints. Yeah the shoulder straps are kinda annoying, but the restraints on Twisted Colossus dig into my stomach in the worst way and makes the amazing airtime painful.

[@jefw8161]

I visited Magic Mountain a week ago (visiting out of Europe) for the first time in 5 years and had a great day BUT I was soooooo disappointed in how the park is run. On opening, 10 rides were closed. Most of them opened only in the late afternoon. Viper, Scream, Riddler and Apocalypse never opened. Batman, Full Throttle and X2 only had one train running resulting in long waiting times, despite there wasn’t that much people in the park. A lot of people in operations also give the feeling that they’re forced under gunpoint to work there. They give a very bored and uninterested impression. We visited Cedar Point a few weeks before and the difference couldn’t be bigger : most employers there seem to enjoy their time there and hype you up. Operations are glossy smooth and even when everything was almost a walk on on Friday, they still had three trains running. It really gave me the feeling that Six Flags doesn’t want you to do all coasters more than once on a day. Do they think you come back more easily when you’ve spent more time in line then you should and couldn’t do everything in one day? On a side note : I love X2 as coaster, but I had one ride on the back of the train and the shaking made that ride very painfull and unbearable for me.

[@tomm7511]

One day I will visit magic mountain, unfortunately I live in Australia

[@lightninlarry8936]

12:51 definitely the scariest monster at fright fest

[@connorframe1]

The monster we see for a brief second before the Selim edit at 12:50 was way too close to Selim Bassoul for it to be a coincidence.

[@jbsthecoolest]

Sophie is QUICKLY catching up to my coaster count lmao I have 205. I didn't travel much in 2022 🥲

[@strudelninja]

Also, this is just additional evidence that coaster vloggers have some group chat where they plan things in unison because the amount of times in the past year I've watched meet-ups happen in videos along with videos released together "by coincidence" is getting ridiculous.

[@Arma070]

Aww man, this was a great vid! Didn't think I'd enjoy your vlogs this much. The interaction with Bybee was hilarious! Also loved the Selim Bassoul joke you edited in. And of course it's always fun to hear Sophie's opinions on things. Keep up the great work man =D

[@1abrebel]

Joseph and Joshua know what's up. Viper is great, west coast is over rated, and wonder woman is #4 at the park..I prefer the front on wonder woman.

[@catherinebalint-karr1697]

Joseph here, sup

[@alantrotter2077]

Surprising they are running at such a low capacity on some of the rides on a Friday night during Freight Fest. It didn't use to be that way. It is always good to go back to your old home park and see how things changed. I have Wonder Woman third in that park behind X2 and Twisted Colossus and just ahead of Tatsu. It's a back row ride for sure.

[@patrickfoley7130]

That Green Lantern First Flight shirt is fire! I feel a need to up my garbage coaster T-shirt game.

[@ashtonbrown4318]

I went on labor day weekend and the park was even more dead than seen here. Ninja and Superman were closed so I couldn't get those credits which I was annoyed about. Apart from that ride operations were practically identical. I was stoked to get my first proper dueling coaster credit on West Coast Racers, my second RMC conversion, first raptor, stand-up, floorless, arrow megalooper (although it's the last one), and 4D coaster (X2) Speaking of X2 I loved it and didn't think the raven turn was that bad on it, my main issue is that my shoulders dig into the restraints and I have to position my shoulders extremely awkwardly and forcefully so the ride isn't unbearable. Is this a problem for anyone else?

[@AirtimeThrills]

Not for me. The only thing i have an issue with is my legs on the last raven turn. They smash into the train

Personally I was really disappointed with Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. To short of ride, to intense, and horrible restraints. I don't really understand why that ride got so much love. So I'm honestly not really looking forward to this version of single rail coaster. Looks like the restraints are the exact same as the Fiesta Texas version. Maybe I will like it more with the longer layout and hopefully it is less intense as overall the one at Fiesta Texas was not good at all.

I've hit your channel for the first time in 2018 when I was looking for information on Magic Mountain because, for the first time, I would visit it in 2019 (and I did), and that was a dream coming true for me(I live in Brazil) . Since then, I came to love this place and probably felt like a child when I first went there (I cherised Sophie's experience). Since my visit I started to watch all your videos and through then I feel like I'm somehow returning to the park, and that makes me feel so good. Hope to be back in a near future. Thanks for everything!

[@MrJamieBattle]

One of the best rides in the park and one of my favorite RMC’s. It totally whips you.

[@ashtonbrown4318]

Same. If you ever see it with any empty seats that generally means you can get a back seat ride. I still haven't rode the front sadly after riding it about a dozen times. I was by crazanity and saw a guy holding a red angels hat on his head while riding in the front seat, it was kindof hilarious because it looked like he was saying "oh sh*t" the whole time.

[@MrKevster24]

Wonder Woman varies for me. I rank it between 3 or 4 in the park. It moves to the higher spot if you get back row late in the day, most whip, most ejector. Middle if you are in the mood for floater instead. Controversial opinion: Twisted Colossus is MUCH better in the front except the first drop. Gotta agree with Dad though Blue track over Green, sorry Sophie. Kudos to the young man for telling it like it is about West Coast.

[@AirtimeThrills]

I actually dont enjoy TC in the front at all. That airtime that shoves you forward isnt my cup o tea

[@MrKevster24]

@@AirtimeThrills Fair enough. Different air for different folks. In particular it's the powerful ejector spike that feels like your going to fly off into Hurricane Harbor just as you crest the hill right before the "high five turnaround" that makes me love the front.

I love X2 and agree the backrow is the best but I think the front is more then worth riding as well. There's an insane burst of airtime you get on top of the first Raven turn you don't get in the back and also i think the fly to lie has more sustained airtime in the front. The drop is so much better in the back though. Also I agree it's definitely weird to see the park so empty on Fridays. Sundays weren't too busy either when I was there.
