    West Coast Racers is a dueling steel roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park in Valencia, California. Being manufactured by Premier Rides, the upcoming ride is a collaboration between West Coast Customs and Six Flags, being promoted as the world's first launch version of a racing roller coaster. After multiple delays and missing the 2019 summer season, Magic Mountain announced that the ride would be operational in a series of preview events spanning several weeks beginning on December 21, 2019, with its public opening likely occurring sometime in early 2020. It is located in a newly-themed area, The Underground, which was formerly known as Cyclone Bay on the former site of Déjà Vu, an inverted roller coaster that was removed in 2011.
    A pair of two-car trains, each holding a total of 12 riders, launch simultaneously from the station. They interact over thirty times throughout the course of the track, reaching a maximum speed of 55 mph (89 km/h) as the two trains cross the finish line. One pulls back into the station, while the other pulls into a replica of the West Coast Customs shop to listen to a narration given by Ryan Friedlinghaus. Both cars launch again and repeat the course a second time, producing a ride duration of approximately three minutes.

    Things this ride needs:
    •a street light at the launch so it turns green when the launch happens
    •more theming for the pit stop

    I got to marathon WCR 14 times today in light rain and rode nearly every seat, with my favorite being 4th row right side. Wow, this ride seriously exceeded my expectations and video does it zero justice. I have personally ranked it #4 in the park. Huge shout out to ANDREW in Ride Ops, these guys were seriously hustling to keep cycle times low. I got 2 or 3 rides where the train didn’t even come to a complete stop in the pit, it just kept on rolling right out for lap 2. The launches pick up acceleration halfway through and are more fun than video would have you believe, the high five ejects and whips you so well, the stall is phenomenal, the spaghetti bowl is great, particularly the first turn on yellow side and great head-choppers on white, the corkscrews are prime, its got perfect course-long dueling, it keeps a high speed pace all the way through even into the brake runs, and its smooth as butter! It’s not an everything coaster, but a very fun addition to the park that you need to RIDE before judging from video. This coaster is a must for any of my future visits.

    The ride is incredibly smooth. The hangtime on the zero g-stall and corkscrews are lit! The helix on the yellow track was intense but not as intense as say Goliath's helix.
    Its a great addition to the park. Will target the families who are transitioning into coasters and will always be a fun ride
    It's no X2, Twisted Colossus or even a Viper. It was never intended to be on that level. And with that said it achieves that goal well. Its a well-grounded coaster that will appeal to all levels of ride experience.

    Wow, this ride is really fun. It’s smooth and fast, with a lot of cool inversions, and it gets bonus points for the dueling feature. This ride would definitely be good for VR. The only problem I have with this ride is the pit stop. We waited at least a minute just sitting there before we actually took off again. If they shortened the pit stop and made it look better I’d give this ride a 9. *8/10*

      I can't believe people are talking about this like it's the worst thing ever created. It looks really fun, though it also looks like the kind of ride that craves physical theming and atmosphere, or interactions with the terrain. The biggest letdown about the ride is the stop before the launch on the second lap. It could almost certainly be solved with a dual loading station, but it could easily be made less unbearable with some sort of theming in place. Those are issues on the park's end, though- the ride itself, as far as layout is concerned, looks like an amazing addition. I guess some people just won't settle for a fun medium-sized attraction.

      @@loki3523 This is a secret list project that would usually not be constructed because of business costs. With this roller coaster, the reason why it is needed to be constructed is that it is authentically a California roller coaster.
      Similar to the new steel curtain in Pittsburgh, which is all about the history of the American steel and manufacturing industry (to honor the great families of Carnegie and Heinz). This one needed to be constructed, and it needed to be great. no intention of comparison here. That park was a park that just constructed its main attraction.
      Of course, things are much different for Disney, because they were not included in the history as being a roller coaster attraction park as much. Their interest is, what is the best you got(speaking of the new Tron coaster in Orlando). We have to have something great, we are loosing to our competitors. These family-owned parks are much different. The government has two separate industries.
      I agree it could use a little theming. It is an impossibly high cost for this roller coaster.

If Cedar Point builds a twister woodie or a flyer, which in my opinion are the two largest gaps in their lineup, they wouldn’t top Steel Vengeance. Unless it’s an Intamin Pre-Fab, which it won’t be.

    It's a solid ride. Rode it yesterday, 23 Dec. Luckily with no wait because of the absolute crap weather. This video doesn't capture the best part: which is the incredible duel visuals. Lots of lead changes between the trains so you see a lot of the other train. It's great. It's like a perfect Twisted Colossus run every time. It's not very intense but it is fun. Wait times will probably be kinda bad when it first opens but probably not as bad as Full Throttle as the advance/park delay is much shorter. Dispatching and launch were shorter than this video showed when I went but the trains are tight and the harnesses are funny so I don't they'll be breaking any speed records either.
