Thank you for the jump to the adult / family coasters 🎢

[@monilavlilac]

Thank you so much for rating these!!! I’m going soon I’m so excited ahhhhh

[@CoasterDash]

Awesome! Have a great time 👏🏻

[@calvinpetty343]

Definitely a top park on my bucket list as an Over Georgia local.

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

The coaster lineup is amazing but the operations almost ruin the park for me

[@toyoracer33]

I live in Kennesaw but I claim Carowinds as my home park lol. Make Magic Mountain a priority. The diversity and quality of the lineup here is rivaled only by Cedar Point. Don't skip Full Throttle and ride Goliath in the left front seat for the best sideways hang time you'll ever find.

[@gilbertceballos8674]

This is my home park. I went 10x to sfmm last year and had around 25+ rides on twisted colossus. When it duels, it's an ELITE ride. I got two duels and teared up at the end once, AMAZING! when it duels!!!! 🤣 #2 when it doesnt....

[@michael7054]

Great video! This park has such a great collection of coasters! I really enjoyed watching this!

[@CoasterDash]

Thanks Michael!

[@michael7054]

@@CoasterDash You're welcome!

[@chrisveech7408]

I visited Magic Mountain back in 2003. To this day, X is still my favorite coaster. I didn't know what hit me and it was such a rush.

[@timothywait9457]

Chrisveech the first ride on that and 2nd are the best rides on it

[@julianguardado1221]

I live under an hour away from magic mountain but could never go, hopefully I can get a season pass this summer and go on x2, also I love the song wake up behind the as the background music

[@Glebborama]

MM is my home park and I go all the time, and my most recent ride on BATMAN had it shooting way up the list. I'm not sure if it was because it was a hot day and the coaster was all warmed up, but it tore through the layout like I had never experienced. Prior to this, I had Great Bear at Hershey Park listed as my favorite inverted coaster, but now Batman takes the lead -ahead of other usual suspects like Montu, Raptor, and Silver Bullet. Still, X2, Twisted, Tatsu, Wonder Woman, and Full Throttle are ranked higher in the park for me.

[@CoasterDash]

Very interesting as i’ve had polar opposite experiences with Batman lately. Otherwise, your list makes perfect sense!

[@taylorgeller4086]

⁠@@CoasterDashI remember Batman having insane pacing in the past. I rode it yesterday though and it was pretty average.

[@notbobthebuilder3109]

Viper is so underrated it has to be one of my favorite rides at SFMM. All it needs is a new paint job and some better trains.

[@CoasterDash]

I agree! Viper is excellent when running well.

[@suzannetaylor9356]

Viper RULES!! ❤

[@MrWaffles_YT]

fr viper is the goat

[@ColeStudios6]

Going in two days thanks!

[@chasesouthard4248]

x2 shoots fire out at night sometimes

[@OriginalJoe]

This is kind of an obvious point but nobody seems to make it. Twisted Colossus is unique from other small scale RMCs because it has a second lift hill mid- ride where others hit a mid course brake run. The second half is more like that of a large-scale RMC. So it rides way above its stats. And then yes, it can duel too.

[@CoasterDash]

Absolutely well said! Great ride 🔥

[@jackhohe4147]

Bro put RATM on repeat and thought we wouldn’t notice

[@papi_palpatine2645]

Magic flyer used to be mini Goliath!! I have ride credits!!!

[@CoasterDash]

I’m jealous 😆

[@alexstridiron334]

I been there 1 time in person it was fun

[@chiltonschilling2732]

I got to ride Magic Flyer when I was younger. Think the name was different but can't remember. The only other kid coaster at the time was Goliath Jr which is now known as Canyon Blaster. Or was Magic Flyer Goliath Jr? IDk. 1. Twisted (Just add a block section at the beggining of the 2nd lift please.) 2. X2 (Is everybody in?) 3. Tatsu (Open the 2nd station on busy days.) 4. Wonder Woman (haven't rode it yet but rode Jersey Devil) 5. Full Throttle (Is like Watching Avengers Endgame and the credits roll right before the final fight scene.) 6. Riddler (Swap the trains to the surf trains and this will become most people's top 5.) 7. Apocalypse (Don't blink, you will miss about 5 elements.) 8. WCR ( Could be OTSR instead of comfort collars. Just saying.) 9. Superman (I rode the original X before I got on this. Couldn't believe how scared of Superman I was after I finally rode it. 10. Viper (If this coaster does get the axe, They better not put in a basic coaster. A B&M Giga or a massive Intamin launch like Velocicoaster but taller and faster are acceptable in my book. 11. Goliath (Yes, I know it's a bad Hyper but I have fun on it. Except the midcourse of course) 12. Scream (fun but pretty basic 13. Batman (Packs a punch, sure, but I think is overated and is at most Six Flags parks. Custom layouts rank higher for me.) 14. Ninja (My first non-kiddie coaster. Always have a place in my heart.) 15. Revolution (Schwarzkopf not sure how to spell it was definatley ahead of his time.) 16. Goldrusher (First time got on just fine. Went back in line immediately, too short.) 17. Roadrunner (Meep Meep) 18. Canyonblaster (That helix though) 19. Speedy (2nd best themed coaster not including the lines. Apocalypse #1.) 20. Magic Flyer (Gotta start somewhere)

[@coasterjedi2555]

Tatsu is a giant bucket list coaster for me as a flying coaster lover, would really like to get out for full throttle and twisted colossus too

[@bobthebear1246]

Ninja IS NOT a "Family Coaster." It goes 55 mph, has some wicked twist and turns and you're going almost completely on your side twice. This is a definite thrill ride.

[@stillupmusic]

Super jealous of your job!! 😅😄

[@rishdawg9618]

Thanks dash for all your videos and hard work 👍 how u rank x2 from dinoconda and eejanaika

[@CoasterDash]

I appreciate the support! I haven’t ridden Eejanaika or Dinoconda yet, but they look absolutely spectacular and improved versions of X2.

[@roadtripnerd2432]

You should definitely try Dinoconda and Eejanaika

[@PatrickMartinez-xo7tx]

I hear wake up by rage against the machine

[@hokyman]

I live in the PNW but am originally from LA and still consider this my home park. I agree with most of the rankings on this list! Especially the top 3. Superman is the only one I really don't agree with. I just find it kinda dull. But totally understand why other folks enjoy it and I'm glad it's there for folks who do!

[@CoasterDash]

Thanks for the comment! Superman is a divisive coaster. I really do like it, but only after riding it in the front :)

[@skyguyismyguyr12turn]

I expect Six Flags Magic Mountain to be the greatest amusement park in the country. It looks like my type, and I can't wait to go next year(not confirmed BTW).

[@matymil]

Just went for two days this week. I got on Riddler and Golaith for the first time and both i actually thought were alittle underrated. I actually got alittle airtime on Golaith on each ride but yeah that brake run is a killer but I think its a great ride for younger riders, its my 5 year olds 2nd favorite behind TC. Being that Great Adventure is my home park, i thought Riddler was much better than Green Lantern. Man I thought Apocalypse was VERY rough and its my 3rd least favorite at the park. I didnt like it last year and thought i was too rough on it and after riding it again this year in the front row, it actually shot down my rankings. I had some great rides on Full Throttle my past visit, it beat Tatsu as #3 for me.

[@DoswarePictures]

I’ve only been to SFMM Twice and surprisingly, I’ve only ridden the bottom two.

[@HighSchoolWeebs72]

My favorite one is apocalypse or west coast racers

[@mitchellries256]

I honestly don't know how I would rank these coasters. With the exception of Green Lantern: First Flight being at the bottom of my list, I didn't experience a bad ride on any of the coasters I rode. I can rank every coaster at Cedar Point from worst to best, but until I get back there this summer, I don't even know which one is my favorite.

[@Paolo8772]

After Cedar Point, Kings Island and SFGA N.J.: SFMM is my next favourite amusement park I've visited, making it my 4th favourite I've visited. Of all the coasters I've ridden at SFMM during the only time I was there in Nov. 2019: 14: Road Runner Express; 13: Gold Rusher; 12: Ninja; 11: Revolution; 10: Goliath; 9: Batman; 8: Apocalypse; 7: Scream; 6: Full Throttle; 5: Viper; 4: Tatsu; 3: Riddler's Revenge; 2: X2; 1: Twisted Colossus. When I visited Superman was down, West Coast racers and WW Flight of Courage wasn't open yet, and they wouldn't let me ride any coaster smaller than Roadrunner Express, even though I'm not a big person. I'm guessing I'd like Superman, West Coast Racers and Wonder Woman Flight of Courage better than Viper, but not as much as X2 or T.C. Thanks for posting!

[@CoasterDash]

Nice list!

[@Paolo8772]

@@CoasterDash Thanks for saying; I appreciate the kind words.

I haven't been to this park yet and not sure when the best time is to visit. It's a must I get out there as I'm all the way in PA

[@SadyTheCV2Bunny]

best times to visit is in winter months and during weekdays, less people

[@BobSebring]

Last time I was there was back in the 80s. Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park. A classic look at Magic Mountain during the late 70s. It was around that time that a woman was killed while riding the Colossus. She had fell out because of her weight.

[@hellacia8151]

Correction: New revolution was mainly the name used to promote the VR experience

[@Gregory260]

Ok only reason I don’t like viper is because of viper and the ride is fun and all but the ride is super fun also the layout is pretty cool

[@senorhayomayo]

Hey, I appreciate your perspective. I would rank Superman lower #13. West coast higher #6. I think your take on Scream is spot on, it’s never been a bad ride, just uninspired/unoriginal. I think the only rattle I hear on scream is from the empty restraints. I would put full throttle higher as well, #5

[@CoasterDash]

Thanks for watching! Fair takes for sure 👍🏻

[@TheUnholyToast1]

My ranking 1. Tatsu (phenomenal flying coaster and my current #1 coaster) 2. Twisted Colossus (Solid RMC, great with a duel) 3. X2 (Crazy intense, very rough) 4. Wonder Woman (Fun, smooth and whippy. Good RMC) 5. Full Throttle (Short but sweet. Amazing forces throughout) 6. West Coast Racers (Great ride, deceptively strong air time) 7. Apocalypse (Great woody, could be more forceful) 8. Riddlers Revenge (One of B&M's best layouts but stand up is meh) 9. Batman (Forceful Invert but the worst of the 3 in Cali) 10. Scream (Underrated. No rattle and a decent layout) 11. Revolution (Underrated as well. Good terrain interaction, forceful elements given its age) 12. Ninja (Rode this a week ago and was pleasantly surprised. Surprisingly intense) 13. Goliath (OK hyper. Lotta speed, shallow drops) 14. Superman (Fun, doesn't do enough) 15. Viper (layout good, headbang bad) 16. Gold Rusher (Fun family coaster. Good 2nd half) The other 4 I have not ridden so idk. All really solid rides tho I don't think any of them are bad tbh

[@CoasterDash]

Tatsu is a rare number 1 coaster. Very interesting list!

[@TheUnholyToast1]

@@CoasterDash yeah I don't have too many credits yet so I don't have much to compare Tatsu to haha. Hoping to get around to some of the east coast parks this year to see how things change. Great video btw.

[@GPK1075]

My rankings are very similar to yours except I rank apocalypse lower cuz the airtime barely lifts you out of your seat and I rank full throttle higher above wwfoc because I don't mind the length, it already does so much within a short timespan

Revolutions original form only had lap bars, I don’t recall what year they modified the trains to have over the shoulder restraints, but it definitely made it less comfortable. The new trains and just lap restraints was awesome to have back and I’d much rather ride revolution over The riddler.

[@CoasterDash]

Wow, bold take! But glad MM gave Revolution the love it deserved.

One thing ive never understood abt ninja and the other suspended coasters is why their transitions and profiling are so much smoother and better than Arrows loopers. Its bizarre.

Haven't been to Cedar Point yet but from what I've seen it looks to have way higher highs (obviously it has SteVe) but isn't as consistent as SFMM. Think it just comes down to what you want out of a line up. Consistency vs higher highs

@@timothywait9457 Let’s go through it: Steel Vengeance > Twisted Colossus Magnum > Goliath TT2 > Superman Maverick > Full Throttle Okay, so yes cedar point does win in these, and these are by a good amount, but here we go--: Raptor < Batman Rougarou < Scream! Valravn < Riddlers Revenge Corckscrew < Viper Gatekeeper < Tatsu Blue Streak < Apocalypse Gemini < West Coast Racers Iron Dragon < Ninja Millenium Force < X2 (really close) Cedar Creek < Goldrusher Wild Mouse < New Revolution Rest of CP is kid coasters, and SFMM Still has Wonder Woman Flight of Courage which is one of the best there, as well as more kid coasters. So yes, Steel Vengeance is better than anything at SFMM, but the overall high quality coaster average is much higher at SFMM. When a Batman clone is my #9 in a park, you know you have a stacked lineup. I prefer bat clones over raptor, and that is my #6 at CP.
