- Goliath is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park in Valencia, California. Manufactured by Giovanola of Switzerland, the hypercoaster is located in the Goliath Plaza section of the park and opened to the public on February 11, 2000. Its sub-tropical theme is characterized by ancient ruins of the Mayan civilization. The ride is nearly identical to Titan at Six Flags Over Texas, but it lacks a 540-degree upward helix prior to the mid-course brake run and features a slightly shorter track layout.

I've sort of ridden this ride. Last time I was at Magic Mountain, Goliath was under construction. I got a good view of it by riding Colossus. I have ridden Titan many times which is almost-but-not-quite identical. I've never seen what it looks like from the helix to the last curve because I gray out every time. Thanks for posting the PPOV so I can get a clue.
So many people give so much shit to Goliath, and I realize this is a super unpopular opinion…. But I love Goliath so damn much!! Yes the MCBR does kill the second half a bit, but the final helix is the only coaster section I’ve ever greyed out on, and u can’t beat a classic chain lift hill
@@kandikidzora agree!
i have NOT ridden this ride, and this ride really does look intense. im a roller coaster maniac LOL. i haven't traveled the world for this ride sadly :(.
It's not bad of a ride, but the brakes are necessary in front of the double helix. I Grey out even in the front. The G-Forces are insane in that section.
I cried when we got the top and I saw how high it was. Every inch of my body regretted being there. Yet when it was over I wanted to do it all over again, it's crazy how our body and mind react to these things 😂
I don’t care the scare but does your body fell like it’s getting stretched apart in the tall drops? I was in ghost ride at knots and it hurt cuz there in a lap restraint 😂
@samuelrico3673 especially on this ride, you feel a lot of butterflies in your stomach.
I don’t care
Yeah, I was reminded of how high up and how openly spacious the scene was when just going up and I vaguely recall it back then when I was on it years ago, but watching this video and the front car only being about half to 3/4 of the way up, the camera turn to the left to look out over, and I think to myself while just watching this video, I’m not even in the cars, but I’m watching this video, and I’m thinking….f*ck that’s high. 😂
@@Justin-ch7dycared enough to comment 😊
The one thing I hate is completely regretting it as soon as your on the lift hill
fr the lift hill takes hella long i timed it it was almost 70 seconds
I only regret it when hitting that long break run. I miss going so fast in the helix turns. After soo long they had to make that break run stop the train more than it use to because soo many people use to blackout by that turn next to the ground.
Imagine if it gets stop at the top of the lift hill and you have to walk on those lousy stairs to get back down..
Ikr
@Flax VA! EXACTLY!
Which is why I have yet to go on. I'm not too much of a fan on on deep drops even though I am 32.
This was my first roller coaster I've ever ridden in my entire life. I remembered my friend and I decided to do this one just because there was no loop so nothing crazy...we were so wrong. Half way up hill we were like "why was it taken so long" till we saw the first drop... After Goliath, every other ride in the park was like nothing to us. LOL
so your saying goliath is more intense than x2, twisted collosus, tatsu, wonder woman, or full throttle? definitely makes sense to me 👍
@@aarusharya5658 x2 wasn’t bad at all. It just hurt. Full throttle is way scarier tho imo
@@hruben222ruben5 man actually said full throttle is scarier than x2 I'm crying
Have you been on X2?
@@MrWaffles_YT full throttle isn’t scarier than x2 but x2 isn’t even scary anyways
underrated commentary from the guy running the ride. can't believe there are no other comments about it. "yeah!! three people liked it!" he's working for himself lol
They were probably all in shock after the ride or they may have had messed their pants. 😮
Probably because if you actually go to amusement parks you hear comments like that 47x a day and its not that special or funny lol
@@gibiati8295 I'm at a park rn so jokes on u lol
I remember the first time I went on Goliath when I was 13. Was the only time I felt dread going on a coaster. Halfway up the lift chain. And then 3/4 of the way there. That incline is just so long and steep. Totally worth it.
Bro that drop is not steep at all what are you talking about
@@aafragz3746 He literally said “The lift chain” it’s a really steep lift hill compared to other coasters
I may be showing my age but back in Six Flags in Jackson, NJ we rode the Nitro coaster when it first opened - talk about climbing lol. 235 ft. I believe it was, then straight down. Front row - what an anxiety inducer but such a good coaster.
For those wondering why the train came to a stop on the midcourse, it may of been that the preceding train did not clear the track before hitting the next block, or the final brake run
To avoid accidents, the second break near the end, must be clear without the second train, so the first train can continue from the mid track and stops on the second break
No actually it’s becuz the rest of the layout after the mid course taken at any speed faster than that causes riders to black out from the high positive g forces
I’ve greyed out on this ride not going to lie it scared the shit out of my eye sight blacked and then it came back the helex was crazy intense idk if it still is I haven’t been back since.
@@ultimatestoner4205 correct, I rode Goliath in the early years when the brakes only slowed you down to about 15 mph. People were complaining about blacking out in the helix. So now they bring the train to a full stop
i thought it was because of g force
This coaster is very underrated. It may have a weak first drop, and a harsh mid course break run, but this coaster is fast, intense, and smooth.
I think a little reprofiling and newer trains could make this coaster elite...ala Collosis retrack
thank you omg IKRRRR its the drop is so much fun just flying down a hill that feels like 10 sec not very intense tho
@@mmocken Basically, if they demolish it, and have a different company build a completely different coaster, it would be elite.
@@johnulmerRacing primier just rebuild Riddler and Universal rebuilt Hulk. Both had profile tweaks
@@mmocken Hulk needed a service life rebuild. So what? Titan and Goliath do need service life issues addressed as well (Titan has been broken since early October), but that's not going to fix the uninspiringly dull nature of those two coasters.
I LOVE THIS RIDE! I have NEVER ridden it without slightly blacking out ESP at the last part of those intense circles (3:06). So, thank you for letting me see it in full through this video lol!
girl i black out before i get on the ride! 🤣 all jokes aside, it’s a very fun intense ride!
You would love intimidator 305 at kings dominion. It's nuts.
In 2019 I made the trip up to SFMM from Northern California with my sister to visit for 2 days and the park was completely empty so Goliath was a walk on and I rode it at least 10 times and each time I would almost black out at that part... It was fun but I didnt like feeling like my head was going to explode lol
I've blacked out on this ride too lol
How is your brain hitting your skull fun?
I rode this nearly 5 years ago and I still reminisce about the awesome experience and that 1st drop!
Definitely not something you forget!
I’m watching this before I go tomorrow just so I could get that feeling on the ride again. It scares me but I love it. Thanks for this
I know this is two years later, but did you enjoy it?
I remember the first year they opened this ride. It was the main attraction. It's taller than you think
euthanasia ass drop like i'm so scared i will definitely have to go tmrw if it's open 😭😭
pls u have any tips on how to not be scares
@@coolboydotcoma7829 I'm always scared lols. Just do it!
I remember when this ride first came out. I rode it two times in a row and was feeling myself almost blacking out from the G forces. I do not remember a pause in the ride; all I remember is that it kept going.
The midcourse was barely enabled when it opened so it blew right into the helix and pulled nearly 5Gs for 8 seconds lol
yeah it was insane back then. still good though.
Same! I rode it in the early 2000s (I think? I believe I was a freshman in hs so 99 or 2000) and it never stopped. Also the first time I rode I passed out from the G force during that corkscrew in the second half
@@MoneyMakeOnlineEasy Damn!
@@jessicapreston9808 Tell me you’re a GP trying to sound like an enthusiast without telling me you’re a GP trying to sound like an enthusiast. A corckscrew is an inversion or an upside down moment. This ride doesn’t have any inversions. You’re likely thinking of one of the helixes.
Rode this one for the first time last weekend. What a trip! Me and a few people in my party nearly passed out around 3:06 in the video. Crazy stuff. I’m new to roller coasters and this was quite the experience!
I just went today and started to black out there too😂the orange track turned black and blue for me 😂
I rode it and I did pass out. I’m definitely sticking to baby rides from now on😹
Or how bout at the 2:32 mark. Good lord. Just sitting there and then as it slowly SLOWLY starts to fall if you’re in the front car left seat, it legit feels like the cart is gonna come off the track. And/or you’re gonna fall out of it.
@@AngelenoZombie I was in the left cart in the front row and that’s exactly how it felt. I got more of a thrill from that drop then from the big one in the beginning
@@artomkhitaryan2006 right?! It’s an adrenaline rush for sure
One of my favorites of all time. That first drop is no joke
Rode it for the first time last weekend. Had never been to 6 flags. I didn’t know what to expect but I passed out half way through the ride. I was out for half a second. I couldn’t remember the rest of the ride till I sat down and drank some powerade and it all came back to me 😂
That’s crazy 😂😂
The ride is honestly one of my favorite rides at Six Flags Magic Mountain, but those end breaks are just brutal.
The lift hill and view over the first drop! Brings back memories 😂
Goliath was the first coaster I ever got scared on 😂
Bruh same
Ah yes the amazing pacing. I love stopping for half a minute at a dead stop on the breakrun. Man this coaster gets worse and worse. SO much grease on the track too after the midcourse.
That's so strange, we have this coaster at six flags over Texas and the stop in the middle is like 3 seconds tops. Sooo rough for the ride to awkwardly stop in the middle.
@@marblesyeah yea Titan is definitely a lot better than Goliath no doubt
They did that because going into that helix after that drop triggered a woman's brain aneurysm.
@@crammpa jeus christ :0
@@shaodynasty1017 Titan is a big pile of garbage as well, just not as much so as Goliath. We went out to Magic Mountain a few week ago (Over Texas is our home park), and the first thing I noticed (aside from MM being an infinitely better park) is that Goliath creeps over the top of the lift hill. Titan doesn't do that. Very odd, and just kills the first drop. At least Titan's first drop is worth the trouble. Goliath's first drop is just dull. So Titan is crap after the first drop, Goliath is crap the entire way.
(operator)" welcome back riders, hows that ride"(3 riders)..." Yahh"( operator)"YAHH 3 people liked it) lmao😂🤣🤣
Went a month ago with my besties smdh I’m not even scared of heights but my soul left my body when I saw ALL the damn freeways and the mountains 😭😭😭
I avoided this ride everytime I went to the park, but one day, this group I went with wanted to go on the ride and I was dreading it. I was trying to calm myself down the entire time we were waiting in line. I knew it was tall, and I swear that incline just to get to the top was too suspenseful as I watched us getting higher than most of the rides there. I'm glad I finally got on it, and I can't wait to ride it next time i visit!
My old heart & body couldn't take this ride, it's insane.
That's what she said.
Same here 😂
Gotta love ride-ops with personality
one of my favorite coasters at six flags magic mountain, just rode it yesterday front cart, second seat behind, it was AWESOME 😎
Forever favorite, interesting full stop at the MCBR- most of all my rides had coasted through after a rather abrupt stop. This coaster still holds it's own!
I haven't ridden this but I rode Titan at Over Texas. That ride is nothing but awesome!
Both were constructed by the came company ,Giovanola of Switzerland
same coaster
Ill never forget the Goliath being the very first ride I got on when the park opened back to back and then lastly when the park was closing
That stop in the middle will drive me crazy!
For my first time going on Goliath my friend told me this rides wasnt that bad but once we got to the peak before the ride he apologized and said "i hate this ride"
If you see people in shock when they come back , its going to be a good ride . 😎
I went on this coaster 20 years ago (this June) and I didn't think we'd ever reach the top of the first hill. It felt like it took 20 minutes just to get there.
That’s the worst lol cause you just wanna hurry up with the first hill
My brother said it felt like the drop was never going to stop...lol
Ive been on this and that first drop is crazy. I almost flew out.
I kind of like the black repaint on the break run! 😲
That whole section needs to be rebuilt somebody pause life and have one of these Planet Coaster Artists redo the break run. Lol
Thats rust
@@ceramikxxx5882 it's oil
I went on this ride last summer and gota be the best ride Ive been to! At one point their was so much g-force that the ride made my eyes close!
I went on this rollercoaster during a school trip back in middle school and man what a rush! I kept my head in my knees the first time I rode the coaster out of fear, the second time I managed to keep my eyes straight the whole time. (I also remember the father of one of my classmates losing his hat during the corkscrew at 3:00, one of the park employees retrieved it for him)
I LOVE this ride!!! We would use Scream roller coaster to hype us up for the Goliath (at least for me!!). Wish I was back in CA to enjoy this ride!!❤
Ah, the amazing fun to be had at Six Falgs.
You beat me to it!
I like when they scream😂 Much more fun to watch
Wow even the general public is beginning to notice how bland this ride is
I've been preaching on this hill for 20 years. G is a bad hypercoaster and in a park full of good coasters time spent there just deprives you of better experiences
@@BL-cc2nw Do you like I305?
The pressure once you get in the tunnel is so crazy, and I am terrified of heights and I remember I looked down and my knees just got super weak
Looks like a lot of fun but it also looks like it's not functioning to its full capacity. I also noticed an extreme amount of rust especially at the weld joints and bolts don't see this ride being in operation service much longer without a serious overhaul. It's one thing to do and inspection but it's something altogether different to do a metal integrity strength analysis.
i rode this when i was 10 for the first time because my sister said i would get candy. let me tell you, the trauma i got from this ride was not worth the candy
That drop looks sooooo intense man!!
2:09 Bro went to heaven for a brief moment
Hi, nice video. What do you use to hold the camera during the ride? Chest mount or something else?
Dude i remember riding this for grad night or some school event. Wow. Most insane feeling ever, that drop is long. Wicked experience. I need to ride it again for good measure.
No way I didn’t know grad nite can take place at 6 flags. I thought it usually take place at Disneyland or universal studios
I remember going on this for the first time, I thought it was going to be nothing until I saw the drop. It looks like nothing from the ground but once you’re up there, the whole mood changes which is terrifying. And once it dropped i passed out and then woke up and around ( 3:01) I passed out again.😂😂
You wild for this.
Now I know I’m not the only one that almost passes out at that one turn towards the end. EVERY TIME. Thought it was just because I’m getting old lol.
just watching this made my stomach turn 😂😂😂 great video showing a great ride !
It was the dude that went before me and my friend. He was excited and smiling all that, and after he went he was shocked to death. I saw the fear in this eyes knowing I'm not gonna make it out alive either 💀💀
I miss in the early 2000’s when the break run didn’t have you come to a complete stop. However, I do appreciate that they added a seat belt because when I rode this for first time in May of 2001 I was very tiny my freshman year & I didn’t feel like I was secure enough. I thought I was going to have a heart attack going up that lift hill because I thought I was going to fall out. The rest of the ride was fun though after that freak out.
I’m so excited to finally come to this theme park in October 2023. Me and my partner are from New Zealand and have only dreamed of coming to America so we thought? Why don’t we just save up our money and go? Lmao. So that’s what we doing and we are coming straight for Goliath.
You should go on the raging bull too it’s a good one
First roller coaster I’ve ever been on…25 years ago and remember it like yesterday. So terrifying! I want on that and Batman and that was the end of my coaster career. lol I salute those who can ride them
The worst part is when you're on top of a hill and regret every second of wanting to get on so you want to get off but realize the only way to get off is going down.
I rode this when it first opened. I had never ran out of scream on a drop where I had to inhale again😂. We got off this coaster SHOOK😭To this day, I never got on it again. This ride is how I measure coasters😭
That was my first rollercoaster in the US 😁😎
Rode this when my band took a trip to California, a ton of fun and was one of the first roller coasters I ever went on, tbh idk why people are scared the second time I just looked around at the amazing view up there 10/10
I RODE THIS AND IT WAS 5 STAR FOR ME BUT 1:55 ITS CRAZY LOVE THIS VIDEO THANKS.
This is the same track design as Raging Bull in Six Flags great America in Gurnee IL. These coasters were both made near the 2000s.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Been on RB dozens of times and instantly recognized it. It still is one of Great America's premier coasters 20+ years running.
I experienced this ride today from the front, and I couldn't hear my piercing screams on the first drop through the tunnel until the second incline 💀
I know people are happy glad they can go to their amusement park without dealing with Snow places close through the winter
Still one of my favorite rides of all time.
That's what she said.
@@frankgrimesification bruh 😂
years ago rode this and it broke down on the brake station before the helixes. we sat up there for 45 minutes until they got the hydraulics fixed and we finished the ride. scary sitting that high when not moving, but it was fun.
Check out the one at Six Flags Georgia! The cars are different. I'm 6'3 and my feet don't touch the floor and there's nothing to hold on to. Intense! I love it!
It's had the same coaster train as Nitro in SFGA in Jackson,NJ Fury 325 at Carowinds in Charlotte,NC
Me and 5 of my friends went to Magic Mountain at the beginning of the summer. We were all hyping up the rides like Goliath, Superman, Twisted Colossus and more. I had never been on ANY roller coasters before in my life. The first thing we did when we got to the park was Goliath. I was so scared to do it, but I didn’t want to miss out on the experience. Probably the biggest mistake of my life, since I definitely wasn’t warmed up and ended up passing out. After we did Goliath though, the rest of the rides at the park was a breeze and were pretty fun.
this was the fastest ride I've ever been on until I went to Carowinds in NC and got on Intimidator 305 (80mph) and Fury 325 (95mph). crazy.
I305 actually goes up to 94mph. That’s in Kings Dominion in Virginia. Live right next to it and I305 is hands down one of the most intense rollercoasters in the world in terms of pure G forces.
Yo on xcelerator in knotts that’s 80
Not in California (although I wish it would come here) but King Da Ka in Jersey literally launches you at 125mph in just a few seconds to 456 feet before going over the top hat and plummeting back down at about 128mps. Magic mountain NEEDS a ride like this.
@@tlankey5490 right and I've been on kingda ka
@@anthonyhenderson3625 the Superman ride should’ve been a strata coaster like Kingda Ka
I remember first seeing this ride back in like 2005. Refused to get on it. Went again in 2006, still refused. Went again in 2007. Nahhhhhhh... Finally got on it in 2012 and it was one of the sickest coasters I've been on. Haha
Was that stop just a block zone clearance or is that part of the ride?
Goliath is... picky sometimes. it's common for the train to be held in the MCBR for odd amounts of time, even tho the blocks are clear. they only ever run 2 trains max, and there are (at least) 2 block zones in between the MCBR and the station, so there's plenty of blocking. it's just an aging Gio...
@@JoshStern ahhhh, I see
@@realmackle sometimes you don't actually come to a stop, other times you sit there for a bit. there could also be some sensor management that determines how much force to slow the train down by, but I have no idea why it needs to just sit there... and don't get me started on the 1 foot track nugget at the end...
The pause gives you time to make your last wishes and to say goodbye to friends and family.😅
SFFMM must repaint this coaster I've notice the color of the rail is fading
They.need.to.get.on.the.ball.and.do.what.they.should.to.maintain.their.rollercoaster.ride
the gut feeling roller coasters give you on that one first drop.
I remember going on this the first year it came out. At the time Goliath came out it was the tallest full circuit coaster on Earth. It had the tallest drop.
A few months later the opening of Millenium Force pretty much made Goliath a forgotten coaster for a lot of people.
MIllenium Force was the worlds first Giga coaster. It’s a shame that Magic Mountain still does not have a Giga, but I digress.
Goliath was super disappointing when I first rode it. It’s an ok ride now. Very smooth. Not a terrifying first drop for a lot of roller coaster enthusiasts (thoosies) but it’s still a solid drop.
Titan at Six Flags Over Texas is very similar to Goliath. There’s some differences about that ride, but the biggest difference is that when you’re on Titan you have an incredible view of the AT&T and the baseball stadiums. It’s pretty awesome.
Anyways, thanks for the upload! Maybe Goliath could use a repaint? And they need to fix the misters that they used to have at the bottom of the first drop.
Magic Mountain doesn’t maintain the little special effects of their rides and it really shows.
The first drop isn't that good? It looks so massive.
@@LucasKimCARP That drop really sucks.. It's not steep at all so it provides a forceless and airtime less experience
@@LucasKimCARP Can confirm that the drop was a bit disappointing after getting on it yesterday. Though, I’ve recently taken a real liking to rollercoasters, so maybe I’m spoiled by coasters such as X2
The drop definitely isn’t weak 🤦🏾♂️ I don’t know why these people keep saying this and if this drop is weak please tell us about a better drop? You probably going to get a handful of people who say this drop is weak. It’s opinion anyways just go ride the ride yourself but it’s definitely not weak. Might not be the best but definitely not weak 🤦🏾♂️
@@MrOPM-vc6ow it’s because the trend in the roller coaster world was going for a more forceful drop.
A lot of Alan Schilke roller coasters feature a very very steep drop. People have gotten so used to them that we forgot what a less forceful drop (Goliath) was like.
People can’t go into Goliath expecting an RMC experience. It’s a totally different experience.
Goliath is a coaster that I’ve grown to like more and more as I’ve gotten older.
That ride was awesome ! Went on it twice back to back
I believe they have changed the lap bar since 2005. I remember the lap bar being smaller and scary as hell
That's right.
Let’s say thanks for him making this video for us and going on it her or himself
Never been on this...LOOKS AWESOME!!
I remember when I when on it, on the spiral part I started to black out and I was screaming “STAY AWAKEEEEE”😂😂😂
Let's trash it and build a giga! it's time magic mountain!!
Another hyper coaster would be great but don't get your hopes up for a giga its not gonna happen. Honestly you can't just ask them to put a coaster like that there, and also the isnt just going to magicly put one thats not how this works.
yo this made my day lmaoooo
The first time I went to this place with my husband, he said, "We start with the basics." 😂😂😂
Excellent quality 🍾🍾🍾
My favorite ride in the world. Miss you Goliath
this is my 3rd favourite ride at this park
now 5th
Thank you for taking Me down memory lane I remember when this ride had just been built I was 13 and my brother 😖Did not want to get on!!! I was Determined!😆
To be honest its just feels smooth Not scary as twisted coslssus since you just go straight down and not like ur gonna fall out.
twisted makes me shit my pants
I friggin LOVE this ride. I will never understand why so many fools talk crap on it.
Oh hell yeah I’m going on this next time I got to six flags
When the lift hill started to slow down at the top of the coaster, I said oh shoot regretting wanting to go on this ride.
I went to magic mountain in 2017. I spent 2 days at the park. Tbh I don’t remember a single thing about this ride, only that it had the longest line that day. I was so disappointed on this that I totally skipped it on the second day…
3:00 This is where I literally started blacking out. My tunnel vision came back when we came out of the turn. True story.
This coaster needs some serious updating and a decent paint job. Look how faded it looks.
You couldn’t pay me enough to take that ride!
This is my kind of coaster! High, fast, and no inversion! I have an immense fear of being upside down. It's been that way for as long as I can remember. I can handle any position on a roller coaster. Forwards, backwards, even sideways. But upside down? Nope! Forget it! If it goes upside down I'm out! That first steep drop may scare me a bit but it looks really fun!
You never feel like you're going upside down when you are. When you're going through an inversion, you experience high g-forces that force you down into your seat, so you feel right side up the whole time.
There are some coasters like Viper and Full Throttle that you feel upside down on, because they go through very slowly, but they're the exception rather than the rule.
@@michaelfjmusic cool! Someone else who knows about science!
You won’t fall out, it’s basic physics
@@FIr3BLZ I know that. I just can't stand being inverted
I don't like rollercoasters so I watch the videos of them! This was a scary one just to watch!
That stop in the middle was completely needless or am I missing something. Otherwise looks fun😇
I’ll try to explain this as simple and understandable as possible. So popular coasters like these at big parks like Magic Mountain need to have a high hourly capacity. Hourly capacity or riders per hour is how many guests can ride the coaster every hour. Large coasters that attract crowds like Goliath need high capacities so they run more than 1 train. That’s where block zones come into play. A block zone is a section of a ride that only one train may occupy. At the end of a block zone is a method to stop a train in case the block zone ahead is occupied. This is how coasters can safely run more than 1 train at once. In this case, the reason the train stopped on the brakes mid ride is because the block zone ahead already had a train in it. Once the train ahead cleared the block zone, the train behind it could proceed forward into the second half of the ride. So yes, you are missing something, it is very needed.
@@dibble1331 Good explanation but wrong situation. Goliath has the mcbr cause of the following helix (but I suppose it does also double as a regular block zone break run) Nowadays it's common to grey out at the helix but before the mcbr would slow or stop the train, people were apparently full on passing out
Also is that block run explanation the same one as ElToroRyan (I think that's the person)? Love it.
@@47ratsinahoodie I forgot to mention, the following helixes would be way too intense. Like, Moonsault Scramble’s pretzel knot intense. And I may or may not have stolen the block zone speech from ElToroRyan.
Top 5 coaster in the country hands down!!!
This was one of my 7 year old daughter's first big coasters. She ranked it 4th after X2, Apocalypse, and Wonder Woman. It's a shame she was not tall enough for the 54" ones, as Tatsu would have been there too
Hold up your 7 YEAR OLD WENT ON X2???
@@Terrarian.0 i was 8 when i went on x2...it was my 2nd roller coaster after california screaming in disneyland. i was scared outta my mind lol and still to this day its probably the most intense coaster ive been on
IM SORRY 7???
@@Terrarian.0 Yes.. in fact, I got her some "special shoes" last Christmas that got her up to the 54s.. Now she ranks them Full Throttle, X2 and Tatsu. This summer, we went to Frontier City, Over Texas, Fiesta, and Magic Mountain. She called Frontier City Kiddie Land.. Over Texas was better. Fiesta even better, but nothing beats Magic Mountain.
@@undertow919 I forgot to mention that she rides X2 and all the coasters with her hands up, screaming FASTER!
This coaster is amazing
