I love this park. It needs to work on the aesthetics a bit (which it has been doing) but the ride line up is elite. Some people complain and say that they pad their coaster count with kiddie coasters. But as a dad I'd argue that I love the fact that my kids have multiple coasters to pick from and they really work you up from the smallest kiddie coaster to the bigger ones and that builds you up so that you are ready to ride Ninja and Goldrusher. Plus, how many parks have 15 coasters even after you remove the kiddie coasters and small family coasters?
@@zacg_ THAT'S what I hope to happen...I miss going up top the observation deck to catch a photo op and catch a breathtaking view of the SCV!! Edit: They should bring back Magic Pagoda and the Laughing Dragon Pizza
I was so lucky to grow up with this park as one of my home parks. Even after visiting for 10+ years, it’s still always exciting and I never get tired of it. Can’t wait for Wonder Woman
I love this park, usually go a couple times a year. I love all the trees and the up and down walks. I'm too old to go on all the coasters now but still enjoy many of them. Thanks for making this video.
im so proud to have this as my home park. viper is one of my favorites in the park and its right inbetween two world class coasters so you have your pick of either one on the side. i finally got my first duel on twisted colossus too when i was visiting last week. it felt so special. i cant shut up about it lol
All the rides you listed sounds good. I never been to six flags magic mountain before and I have been living in California my whole life. I might have to plan a trip next year when wound woman opens up
Obviously, X2 is my favorite there, but Twisted Colossus is also an elite coaster that I can understand being anyone's favorite. I am sentimental towards my beloved Arrow loopers, so Viper ranks much higher on my list. I am hopeful to get back there next month. I love the depth in their supporting ride lineup. I always want school days here, so that I can get multiple rides on everything (wind permitting).
Literally driving by the park while watching this video wishing I could stop and go there! Looks amazing! I’ve been there before but it was like 20 years ago
I love this park iv been their 5 times all the rides are my favorite!! Just the environment their makes you so welcoming I cant wait to go back soon it never gets old
Viper has been running lights out phenomenally this year, and has not been stopping at the midcourse that I’ve seen at all. It’s been making me see stars after the loops and that’s never really happened to me before. Scream is okay as far as ride quality but I feel that Viper is far superior overall. Great video as always and it’s always interesting to hear opinions about my home park from a seasoned enthusiast
@@CanobieCoaster oh wow that’s unusual for sure, it’s been flying all season. It hits somewhat but definitely not near a full stop. The other trims have been hitting in the usual places (after the first loop, after the boomerang) but not as hard as before. The 2018 upgrades were fantastic and it was so great to see it get the love it deserves. Hopefully on your next visit you’ll get a better ride on it.
I am heading to Magic Mountain in 2024. As an intensity junkie, X2 will probably claim my number 1 spot, but I'll decide that when the time comes. I am just looking forward to the park as a whole.
My home park , I was here when they had their grand opening in the 70's. It was amazing plus I rode the revolution on it's opening day , plus Colossus. Gold rusher was there opening day , the park is proud of it.
I didn't go on Viper, Batman: The Ride or Superman: Escape from Krypton while I was there in 2014 so for now my favorite ride there is Full Throttle followed by The Riddler's Revenge, Apocalypse, Colossus, Scream, Goliath, Tatsu, Ninja, X2, Goldrusher, Jet Stream, Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom, Roaring Rapids, Revolution and Green Lantern: First Flight. This was one of the hardest rankings I've ever done as that's how great their rides are.
I would have Crazanity and Apocalypse higher and Scream lower but agree with most of your rankings. Viper was running so well this summer so I would have that a higher as well. I think what makes SFMM so special is not so much the top 2 but the fact that 3-10 is such a great lineup with only a smaller drop fff 11-15. Most parks have a high drop off in quality after the the top coasters.
I’m about to go to magic mountain this weekend, I’ve been on everything but twisted Colossus and Wonder women. I do have a question, I know X2 is a fan favorite, and my personal favorite roller coaster I’ve been on, but why is twisted colossus more liked? I’ve seen the pov of twisted, but I don’t see what the hype is about. I know I shouldn’t judge a POV video by the coaster experience, but it doesn’t look anything like Steele Vengeance at CP for example to be a favorite over coasters like X2 or Tatsu. I just want to know why it’s your favorite. I’m also going to be riding twisted when I go there, I’m excited to be back at Magic mountain. Edit: just rode twisted right now, omg I’m blown away. I still like x2 better but this is my second favorite coaster here.
Magic Mountain has a lot of stops and starts. the mcbr’s on Viper and Goliath, the double lift hill on tc, the duel launches onnWCR, the stop in the tunnel on Full Throttle. am i forgetting any?
As a coaster fan I love this park. My son and I recently visited. The ejector on Full Throttle was epic! It really tried to launch me out of the park. The best ride of the day was the final ride on Twisted Colossus where the trains finally ran together.
What would you think about Riddler's Revenge, the Bolliger & Mabillard stand up coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, in an incorrect position, and/or in your position?
X2 and Twisted Colossus are my favorite two by far. I have been slightly disappointed though that the audio on X2 has been inoperable for my last several rides. From what I’ve heard they didn’t bother to try and fix it during the pandemic shutdown, either. Mind, X2 is a very intense ride no matter what, but the audio and the flamethrower effects when they’re working is the cherry on top. Also a flat ride I would add as an honorable mention is Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth; the park’s Round Up ride. I have always found it to be a fairly intense and fun Round Up. It lets you spin flat for a while before tilting upward and the ride is usually fairly long, too. It will be interesting to see what they re-theme this ride to when the new raptor coaster opens. I can’t imagine they will have two Wonder Woman themed rides.
Magic Mountain has done a much better job at taking care of the park post covid, but they are still lacking in most regards. I have gone 25+ times since the park reopened while riding X2 every time I went if it wasn't closed and I only experienced the fire ONCE while the audio has never been on. In fact, the only reason the fire was on was because they had left over fuel from their celebrity even the day prior. They need to treat X2 much better than they do. The staff working there are god awful as they close the ride early some nights or are just plain rude compared to other rides. I really hope they beautify and fix X2 and its surrounding area once they do something with Viper.
Fire and Audio got fixed 3 months ago and been working great since. They also toned down Goliaths MCBR drastically in the last month, it flew through the MCBR barely slowed down last week when I rode it and the double helix was ridiculous. Superman also reached the top trims.
As always good job on the video! My favorites are X2 and Tatsu. Need to get back here because the last time I went was in 2015 and I only got one ride on Twisted Colossus so I don't have a solid opinion on it.
It took me a few return trips to finally get enough rides on Twisted Colossus. My first visit took place on a day when RMC had a part recall, so the ride closed immediately after I took my first ride. On my second visit, the ride almost didn't open due to mechanical issues and by the time it opened in the late afternoon, the park was busy. I made sure to reride it a ton my last few trips to make up.
I personally think that Justice League at Magic Mountain is actually the worst of the 5 that I’ve done… …when it comes to scoring. As someone who has maxed out multiple Justice League dark rides, I noticed that the one at Magic Mountain is unbelievably hard to get high scores on. I haven’t been on the versions at Great Adventure or Mexico yet, but for now, Magic Mountain is the hardest one I’ve done. I had a hard time breaking 300,000 on this particular Justice League
I definitely did my worst on the Mexico one, but that was because the ride was broken for me. I've never tracked my score on Justice League so I don't know how much harder the one at Great Adventure is in terms of scoring.
@@CanobieCoaster the screens are the same as the one at Over Georgia, and having done that one, I think that the one at Great Adventure will be a bit easier than the one at Magic Mountain, but a lot harder than the rest of them
At Six Flags Magic Mountain, if you go again to ride all roller coasters, how do you ride Batman the Ride, Scream, Viper, Riddler's Revenge, X2, and Tatsu?
@@CanobieCoaster Should have mentioned this in the video came here to ask this lol. I've rode 3 B&M standups and every time i get a cramp type pain behind my knees...guess i'll be watching that video next!
I went to magic mountain for the first time in June and I’ve been there 3 times since then and my favorite rides are twisted colossus, x2, full throttle, Superman, and scream !!!!! I wish I could say tatsu too but I haven’t gotten a chance to go on it yet
Tatsu has more than a case for the best in America bc it is undoubtable the best. It has a case for best in the world, flying dinosaur may have a bit more length and modern elements, but Tatsus location makes it the only true flier in the world.
For me Ninja is definitely ahead of viper.. it's not even close IMO. Never even come close to greying out on Viper.. you gray out a lot man. The only coaster I have ever greyed out on, ever, is the second half of Goliath for a split second. I have banged my head seriously hard on Scream! No jokes! Goliath would be the last coaster in the park for me. For once, I completely disagree with your outer half of ranking. Interesting! Still appreciate your opinions and gave you a thumbs up, of course. Edit - I am sure I would grey out on I305 though.. will ride that in 2023 for sure, finally. Already planning my trip!
@@CanobieCoaster Try closing your mouth and keeping it closed just on the coasters you grey out on. It works. There IS a spot on Superman in Australia where I do for a split second also after the launch, it's sort of like the beginnings of a grey out i.e. some dark spots in my eyes, just a couple, but yeah, I forgot about that one. For some reason none of the other xcellerators bother me, even um, xcellerator, which has a faster and more powerful launch than Superman.
People hate the break run on Goliath but if you sit in the front left seat it will feel like the train is trying to dump you off the coaster coming off the break run
Imagine enthusiast boys going to Riddler's Revenge, the Bolliger & Mabillard stand up coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and taking the ride in an incorrect position...
Six Flags Magic Mountain is a year-round park, so they usually have at least one coaster down for maintenance. Unfortunately, they don't post their refurb schedule in advance so it's hard to tell.
my top 5 at magic mountain are 1. Twisted colossus 2. X2 3. West Coaster Racers 4. Tatsu 5. Goliath then goes on w/ batman, full throttle and etc. like 6,7,8
Magic mountain looks great but they could definitely do some good by easing up on the roller coasters now that they have 20 and focus more on family rides attractions more thrilling flight rides and possibly dark rides too
Exactly Both THAT, and also concentrate on the asthetics of the park. I keep on saying, that the MOST missed opportunity is that Magic Mountain doesn't have a top tier railroad system that traverse the entire circle of the park....totally lacking in cross park transportation that it sorely needs, given how large that park is!!!
Hot takes on SFMM: 1. Viper is hot garbage. That coaster destroyed my head. It also destroyed my brother’s friend’s head and her back. Worst coaster in the park, and it is a little overrated. 2. Goliath is underappreciated. The problem I have with most coaster enthusiasts opinions is that they focus on airtime only. While airtime is my favorite element on a coaster, it’s definitely the most overrated. I personally prefer a coaster that does more than airtime. Anyways, Goliath is an intense, smooth-speed machine. 3. Okay, maybe I rode it on a bad day, but X2 is a bit rough, and I don’t think it cracks my top in the park. Again, maybe I rode it on a bad day, but it was pretty good overall, and it’s CRAZY intense. Other than the roughness, it also hurt my back on the final raven turn.
I don't disagree X2 is bouncy. I ride on the inside to mitigate that. Viper doesn't bother me since my ears clear the top of the OTSR, but it would be an issue if I were shorter.
Obviously this is subjective but before Steel Vengeance I would argue that SFMM had the overall better coaster collection. Here's my reasoning. There are certainly examples of Cedar Point beating SFMM in comparable coasters (such as TTD vs SMEFK, Magnum vs Goliath...etc.) But in the middle range I think it gets more interesting. For example, I don't think that Raptor is necessarily better than Batman. I just think people can't bring themselves to consider a cloned coaster to be as desirable as a unique coaster. And The other B&Ms are generally on par with each other. I personally would put Tatsu above even Maverick but that's my preference. And the Arrow collection at SFMM I think is clearly better than the collection at Cedar Point. And SFMM obviously has the better drop tower and pendulum ride if you are looking outside the coasters. Where Cedar Point has the undeniable advantage is their Intamin collection. It's better now and better than anything that the company ever made for SFMM. And I'd argue that TC and X2 are both better than any coaster at Cedar Point before Steel Vengeance was built. That said, Steel Vengeance was built and that thing just dominates. I love TC but it can't be compared to Steel Vengeance. It alone puts Cedar Point's coaster collection ahead. And when you look beyond the coasters then Cedar Point is clearly the superior park overall.
@@zacg_ SFMM is my home park and I've been going there since 1974. I think your write up on both CP and MM is right on, even though I have never been to CP. I've always said it was a close race between the coasters at each park until CP turned one of their worst coasters into arguably the best coaster in the world. From what I have seen CP is by far the best Roller Coaster park in the world. If MM does not install a GIga Airtime Machine one of this days they are going top start losing to a lot of parks, a few parks can argue that point now.
See in RCDB: Rainier Rush at Washington State Fair. Did you know it was removed? I ask you that because it also had an inclined loop like Riddler's Revenge at Six Flags Magic Mountain, which is a traditional B&M stand up coaster. So how did you compare between the two?
My opinion list of coasters rankings at this park would be: 01 Twisted Colossus 02 X2 03 Wonder Woman Flight of Courage 04 Tatsu 05 West Coast Racers 06 Full Throttle 07 Batman The Ride 08 Apocalypse 09 Goliath 10 Riddler Revenge 11 Scream 12 Viper 13 New Revolution 14 Superman Escape From Krypton 15 Ninja 16 Gold Rusher 17 Road Runner Express 18 Canyon Blaster 19 Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers 20 Magic Flyer
#13? This is Viper erasure! It's my number 3 at the park (granted I didn't get to ride Tatsu). I get why people don't like it but it's consistently underrated, in my opinion.
Apocalypse is a severely underrated ride at the park. Riding that thing at night once the track has warmed up is such a blast that gives me insane air time that honestly launches me higher than my rides on twisted. The shaking, insane relative speeds (moving fast with objects near you), sharp turns, and insane air time make this ride a go to for me. One tip to maximize your experience on this ride is to go later in the day (preferably at night), keep the buckel loose enough, scooch up the on the seat as the restraints fall then proceed to scoot back into your seat while pushing the restraint forward during the WHOLE ride. Do not let your restraint fall back and lock as you will loose your airtime. You will not be dissapointed and Apocolpylse will definitely shoot up your ranking after a ride using my tip.
definately a case for that, cedar point and magic mountain can definately go either way, even though 90% of people will choose cedar point, but I can definately see people going with magic mountain.
It's funny how Sfmm is the Barry Bonds of theme parks. The behemoth park is huge, and really has no competition for the top spot. Yet people love to dog it. Whereas CP is like the Derek Jeter of theme parks, very good, but no matter what their fans eat them up. CP could put a pile of dog 💩 on the midway amd you'd still see fans applaud it. Heck, if West Coast Racers, Full Th, Twisted, etc were in CP their fan boys would call them one of the best coasters in the world.
I love this park. It needs to work on the aesthetics a bit (which it has been doing) but the ride line up is elite. Some people complain and say that they pad their coaster count with kiddie coasters. But as a dad I'd argue that I love the fact that my kids have multiple coasters to pick from and they really work you up from the smallest kiddie coaster to the bigger ones and that builds you up so that you are ready to ride Ninja and Goldrusher. Plus, how many parks have 15 coasters even after you remove the kiddie coasters and small family coasters?
I like how they have been renovating areas of the park when they add new rides.
@@CanobieCoaster Hopefully Samurai Summit is next to get renovated.
@@zacharyyamashita8554 and they FINALLY refurbish and reopen the Sky Tower.
@@zacg_ THAT'S what I hope to happen...I miss going up top the observation deck to catch a photo op and catch a breathtaking view of the SCV!!

@@seanlewis1148 I was lucky enough to go up to the Top of the Sky Tower twice when they had the Magic Of The Mountain Museum.
I was so lucky to grow up with this park as one of my home parks. Even after visiting for 10+ years, it’s still always exciting and I never get tired of it. Can’t wait for Wonder Woman
It seems like a great home park between the deep ride lineup and ability to visit on certain days with low crowds.
the only coaster I could want more is a giga! if we get one of those, it will probably be the best park in the world.
This is the best Sfmm list I’ve seen, I agree with 90% of this
Glad you enjoyed the list!
It’s amazing how my hometown is home to the most rollercoasters in one theme park. It warms my heart knowing that SCV/Valencia is getting recognized!
Lucky!
I know right! I'm in the SCV and it's sweet to see people get excited about coming here :)
Los Angeles County does have a lot going for it
I love this park, usually go a couple times a year. I love all the trees and the up and down walks. I'm too old to go on all the coasters now but still enjoy many of them. Thanks for making this video.

The other great thing about Viper is that it never has a line.
@@CanobieCoaster thats one of the main reasons i love it so much
@@reg1m0nz83 During a majority of the 1990's It likely had lines about as long as X2's today.
Amazing rankings! I’ll be going to this park next year, I can’t wait!!!
Enjoy!
I absolutely agree with this whole list ESPECIALLY with my favorite coaster of all Twisted Colossus coming at #1! Amazing list 😎
Thanks!
All the rides you listed sounds good. I never been to six flags magic mountain before and I have been living in California my whole life. I might have to plan a trip next year when wound woman opens up
It's an amazing park.
@@CanobieCoaster I was planning on going to six flags magic mountain in 2020 then CoVid came and shut down everything
Although, I’m really happy that Twisted Colossus is number one. It is nostalgic for me, because it was my first real roller coaster
That's one heck of a first coaster.
Obviously, X2 is my favorite there, but Twisted Colossus is also an elite coaster that I can understand being anyone's favorite. I am sentimental towards my beloved Arrow loopers, so Viper ranks much higher on my list. I am hopeful to get back there next month. I love the depth in their supporting ride lineup.

Have fun!
Outstanding All Around
Sure is.
amazing coaster lineup
Sure is.
My home park , I was here when they had their grand opening in the 70's. It was amazing plus I rode the revolution on it's opening day , plus Colossus. Gold rusher was there opening day , the park is proud of it.
I saw the Airtime Thrills documentary covering this park's history. It has really evolved.
I didn't go on Viper, Batman: The Ride or Superman: Escape from Krypton while I was there in 2014 so for now my favorite ride there is Full Throttle followed by The Riddler's Revenge, Apocalypse, Colossus, Scream, Goliath, Tatsu, Ninja, X2, Goldrusher, Jet Stream, Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom, Roaring Rapids, Revolution and Green Lantern: First Flight.
This was one of the hardest rankings I've ever done as that's how great their rides are.
The amount of quantity and quality here is top notch.
It's crazy how all 20 of these on this list could of been coasters, they have that many and it's insane.
Sure is!
Wish we could Get Deja Vu back along with some new Vekoma Trains, can't believe New England is scrapping Goliath (Deja Vu).
Justice league is hella underrated. Air conditioning and I really get lost in the ride trying to shoot shit
I agree the AC is refreshing.
I would have Crazanity and Apocalypse higher and Scream lower but agree with most of your rankings. Viper was running so well this summer so I would have that a higher as well. I think what makes SFMM so special is not so much the top 2 but the fact that 3-10 is such a great lineup with only a smaller drop fff 11-15. Most parks have a high drop off in quality after the the top coasters.
I agree Magic Mountain has a super deep lineup. CraZanity is fun, but I prefer the giant discoveries to the giga discoveries.
I’m about to go to magic mountain this weekend, I’ve been on everything but twisted Colossus and Wonder women. I do have a question, I know X2 is a fan favorite, and my personal favorite roller coaster I’ve been on, but why is twisted colossus more liked?

I love Twisted Colossus for the airtime.
I can agree with your top three. Before that: It's complicated. Thanks for posting!
I think most people have the same top 2 (in different orders), but after that it really depends on personal preference and tastes.
Magic Mountain has a lot of stops and starts. the mcbr’s on Viper and Goliath, the double lift hill on tc, the duel launches onnWCR, the stop in the tunnel on Full Throttle. am i forgetting any?
Ninja's final lift hill if you count that. And the multiple lifts on Gold Rusher.
@@CanobieCoaster oh yeah duh i forgot gold rusher. i consider the ninja lift hill at the end to be like an extended break run lmao

What would you think about Riddler's Revenge, the Bolliger & Mabillard stand up coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, in an incorrect position, and/or in your position?

What do you usually like more in the world, roller coasters devoid of any laterals (no laterals), or roller coasters with laterals?
I like most coaster forces.
At Six Flags Magic Mountain, if you go again to ride all roller coasters, how do you ride Batman the Ride, Scream, Viper, Riddler's Revenge, X2, and Tatsu?
I wait in line and get on the trains.
I'm excited for other reviews of SFMM to come soon!
I have a few posted from a year ago (ex. Tatsu, Full Throttle, general park review).
Colossus (With The Double Down) Is My Favorite Defunct Wooden Credut
I rode that ride once backwards and it was fine.
I have twisted Colossus at 3 behind X2 and Tatsu. If TC dueled more often I'd have it at 2 pushing at X2 for the 1 spot.
Dueling doesn't change Twisted Colossus's placement much for me.
Thank you, I want to go and ride all these Rides 😆
It's an amazing park.
At Six Flags Magic Mountain, how do you ride, Batman the Ride, Scream, and Riddler's Revenge?
The only ride I have to board special is Riddler's Revenge. I use my stand-up technique.
6:58 Could you explain how you do this? After riding this in the front row it felt like i got neutered
I made a video called "How to Ride B&M Stand-Ups" that explains the technique.

Tatsu has more than a case for the best in America bc it is undoubtable the best. It has a case for best in the world, flying dinosaur may have a bit more length and modern elements, but Tatsus location makes it the only true flier in the world.
F.L.Y. and Flying Dinosaur easily beat Tatsu.
I haven't been to Magic Mountain but I would probably agree with your list.
I hope you can make it one day!
@@CanobieCoaster thanks, me too
Did you like Tatsu more than Manta at Seaworld Orlando?
Yes, slightly.
For me Ninja is definitely ahead of viper.. it's not even close IMO. Never even come close to greying out on Viper.. you gray out a lot man. The only coaster I have ever greyed out on, ever, is the second half of Goliath for a split second. I have banged my head seriously hard on Scream! No jokes! Goliath would be the last coaster in the park for me. For once, I completely disagree with your outer half of ranking. Interesting! Still appreciate your opinions and gave you a thumbs up, of course.
Edit - I am sure I would grey out on I305 though.. will ride that in 2023 for sure, finally. Already planning my trip!
I know I greyout a lot.
@@CanobieCoaster Try closing your mouth and keeping it closed just on the coasters you grey out on. It works. There IS a spot on Superman in Australia where I do for a split second also after the launch, it's sort of like the beginnings of a grey out i.e. some dark spots in my eyes, just a couple, but yeah, I forgot about that one. For some reason none of the other xcellerators bother me, even um, xcellerator, which has a faster and more powerful launch than Superman.
I would of gotten to this park last year but you know what happened. I’m hoping I’ll get here soon, especially for the opening of the new raptor.
Try to visit on an off-peak weekday to maximize your rides if possible.
At Six Flags Magic Mountain, what do you think about Gold Rusher, New Revolution, Ninja, Goliath, and Riddler's Revenge?
I would ride any of those again.
What would you rate Riddler's Revenge? Why?
It's good. Nice and forceful.
What would you rate Gold Rusher? Why?
It's ok. Scenic but not too wild.
Would you like to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain again? What do you think?
Yes, awesome park.
People hate the break run on Goliath but if you sit in the front left seat it will feel like the train is trying to dump you off the coaster coming off the break run
At least the second half has Gs still.
Imagine enthusiast boys going to Riddler's Revenge, the Bolliger & Mabillard stand up coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and taking the ride in an incorrect position...
It can hurt your crotch if the bike seat is too high.
I Have Contacted 6 Flags Several Times & They Refuse To Answer. Can Some 1 Help?? Thanks. Are ALL Roller Coasters Open From 12-26 until New Yrs Day??
Six Flags Magic Mountain is a year-round park, so they usually have at least one coaster down for maintenance. Unfortunately, they don't post their refurb schedule in advance so it's hard to tell.
You should make review videos about Batman the Ride and Justice League, rides at many Six Flags parks.
I may in the future.
my top 5 at magic mountain are
1. Twisted colossus
2. X2
3. West Coaster Racers
4. Tatsu
5. Goliath
then goes on w/ batman, full throttle and etc. like 6,7,8
Nice!
What would you rate Jet Stream, Goliath, Batman the Ride, and X2?
I talk about them in this video.
At Six Flags Magic Mountain, what would you rate Apocalypse, Riddler's Revenge, and Tatsu?
See my reviews.
Magic mountain looks great but they could definitely do some good by easing up on the roller coasters now that they have 20 and focus more on family rides attractions more thrilling flight rides and possibly dark rides too
They have been doing a good job with recent additions sprucing up the park.
JRax 17 they should have a big indoor roller coaster for all that summer heat and also a big indor water ride like Valhalla
Exactly
Both THAT, and also concentrate on the asthetics of the park.
I keep on saying, that the MOST missed opportunity is that Magic Mountain doesn't have a top tier railroad system that traverse the entire circle of the park....totally lacking in cross park transportation that it sorely needs, given how large that park is!!!
What would you rate New Revolution? Why?
It's decent. Like the loop and setting, but the pacing has some lags.
For me,
1. Twisted Colossus
2. Gold Rusher
3. Justice League
4. Riddler's Revenge
Number 2 is a different one!
Would you like to go again to Six Flags Magic Mountain?
Absolutely
I’m gonna make my own hippie themed theme park one of these days
That would be interesting.
@@CanobieCoaster maybe not
Best Coaster Park in the World. I love Magic Mountain
I prefer Cedar Point for coasters and maybe Hershey, but that's it.
i miss my old home park :(
It seems like a great home park.
where would you slide in jersey devil if you had to?
3 if I'm in the back row.
@@CanobieCoaster thisbwas before i watched the whole video hehe
My best rides are
Twisted colossus
Full throttle
Batman
Superman
Viper
Been there 5 times
You have the same number one.
Viper was definitely the most hated ride due to uncomfortable things going while riding it
I've never had an issue with it since my ears clear the top of the restraint.
@@CanobieCoaster your head hits the side of the chest locking systems so much, ever since I went on this ride I’ve always tried to avoid it
Hot takes on SFMM:
1. Viper is hot garbage. That coaster destroyed my head. It also destroyed my brother’s friend’s head and her back. Worst coaster in the park, and it is a little overrated.
2. Goliath is underappreciated. The problem
I have with most coaster enthusiasts opinions is that they focus on airtime only. While airtime is my favorite element on a coaster, it’s definitely the most overrated. I personally prefer a coaster that does more than airtime. Anyways, Goliath is an intense, smooth-speed machine.
3. Okay, maybe I rode it on a bad day, but X2 is a bit rough, and I don’t think it cracks my top in the park. Again, maybe I rode it on a bad day, but it was pretty good overall, and it’s CRAZY intense. Other than the roughness, it also hurt my back on the final raven turn.
I don't disagree X2 is bouncy. I ride on the inside to mitigate that. Viper doesn't bother me since my ears clear the top of the OTSR, but it would be an issue if I were shorter.
@@CanobieCoaster What about Goliath?
What do you prefer, Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain or Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia? And why?
Over Georgia since it's airtime based.
What would you rate Jet Stream? Why?
Solid flume. Like the drop at the end.
With the name "Goliath", what do you think about Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain and Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia?
I like the name.
Can I ride all the rides at six flags magic Mountain while I wear smash bros?
A Smash Bros. shirt?
Between stand up coasters and amusement rides, what's your favorite stand up coaster and your favorite stand up amusement ride? What do you think?
Riddler’s Revenge is my favorite stand-up coaster. Hurakan Condor is my favorite stand-up ride.
Of all roller coasters at Six Flags Magic Mountain, how do you ride all of them?
I get in line and board them.
Did most enthusiasts like Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain? What do you think?
I think people find it disappointing, but don't downright hate it.
Wich park has more coasters, Cedar Point or Six Flags Magic Mountain ?
Magic mountainhas 19 (number 20 under construction). Cedar point has 17 coasters
Magic Mountain
Magic Mountain has more but most people agree that Cedar Point has more world class coasters than Magic Mountain
Obviously this is subjective but before Steel Vengeance I would argue that SFMM had the overall better coaster collection. Here's my reasoning. There are certainly examples of Cedar Point beating SFMM in comparable coasters (such as TTD vs SMEFK, Magnum vs Goliath...etc.) But in the middle range I think it gets more interesting. For example, I don't think that Raptor is necessarily better than Batman. I just think people can't bring themselves to consider a cloned coaster to be as desirable as a unique coaster. And The other B&Ms are generally on par with each other. I personally would put Tatsu above even Maverick but that's my preference. And the Arrow collection at SFMM I think is clearly better than the collection at Cedar Point. And SFMM obviously has the better drop tower and pendulum ride if you are looking outside the coasters. Where Cedar Point has the undeniable advantage is their Intamin collection. It's better now and better than anything that the company ever made for SFMM. And I'd argue that TC and X2 are both better than any coaster at Cedar Point before Steel Vengeance was built.
That said, Steel Vengeance was built and that thing just dominates. I love TC but it can't be compared to Steel Vengeance. It alone puts Cedar Point's coaster collection ahead. And when you look beyond the coasters then Cedar Point is clearly the superior park overall.
@@zacg_ SFMM is my home park and I've been going there since 1974. I think your write up on both CP and MM is right on, even though I have never been to CP. I've always said it was a close race between the coasters at each park until CP turned one of their worst coasters into arguably the best coaster in the world. From what I have seen CP is by far the best Roller Coaster park in the world. If MM does not install a GIga Airtime Machine one of this days they are going top start losing to a lot of parks, a few parks can argue that point now.
See in RCDB: Rainier Rush at Washington State Fair. Did you know it was removed?
I ask you that because it also had an inclined loop like Riddler's Revenge at Six Flags Magic Mountain, which is a traditional B&M stand up coaster. So how did you compare between the two?
Rainier Rush was awful and extremely rough. Riddler’s Revenge is more forceful and more comfortable.
My opinion list of coasters rankings at this park would be:
01 Twisted Colossus
02 X2
03 Wonder Woman Flight of Courage
04 Tatsu
05 West Coast Racers
06 Full Throttle
07 Batman The Ride
08 Apocalypse
09 Goliath
10 Riddler Revenge
11 Scream
12 Viper
13 New Revolution
14 Superman Escape From Krypton
15 Ninja
16 Gold Rusher
17 Road Runner Express
18 Canyon Blaster
19 Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers
20 Magic Flyer
Nice list!
IM GOING THERE THIS SUMMER.
Have fun!
viper needs to go, it broke my earring and made my ear bleed. It is too rough, i love coasters but this one isn't fun just painful.
I've always heard to remove earrings on rides with over-the-shoulder restraints.
#13? This is Viper erasure! It's my number 3 at the park (granted I didn't get to ride Tatsu). I get why people don't like it but it's consistently underrated, in my opinion.
I like Viper. I just prefer the rides ahead of it.
@@CanobieCoaster Lol dont you just hate when people don’t understand what subjectivity and opinions are😂
@@nohaybanda3061 I know he's being subjective. I'm just a massive Arrow fanboy lol
@@CanobieCoaster Fair. Magic Mountain is truly an embarrassment of riches.
@@thomasxl200 oh ok my bad, lol
At Six Flags Magic Mountain, what would you rate Ninja and Batman the Ride?
They're fun. Batman especially.
Why Do People Hate On Scream For Being In A Parking Lot Medusa (SFDk) And Twisted Colossus Are Technically Parking Lot Coasters....
I think it's because you can clearly see the spaces on Scream beneath the track.
Apocalypse is a severely underrated ride at the park. Riding that thing at night once the track has warmed up is such a blast that gives me insane air time that honestly launches me higher than my rides on twisted. The shaking, insane relative speeds (moving fast with objects near you), sharp turns, and insane air time make this ride a go to for me. One tip to maximize your experience on this ride is to go later in the day (preferably at night), keep the buckel loose enough, scooch up the on the seat as the restraints fall then proceed to scoot back into your seat while pushing the restraint forward during the WHOLE ride. Do not let your restraint fall back and lock as you will loose your airtime.
You will not be dissapointed and Apocolpylse will definitely shoot up your ranking after a ride using my tip.
I imagine those are peak conditions to ride Apocalypse, but I always finish my day there with either Twisted Colossus or X2.
best coaster lineup itw imo
definately a case for that, cedar point and magic mountain can definately go either way, even though 90% of people will choose cedar point, but I can definately see people going with magic mountain.
This and Cedar Point are 1 and 2 in that category.
No Hay Banda its in the top 5
Tatsu is the best ride i have ever been on.
It's really cool and forceful.
1 X2
2 Tatsu
3 Twisted Coulssus
4 Lex Luther
5 Crazinty
All 5 of those are worth the flight and hotel
I have the same top 3, just in a different order.
What would you rate Batman the Ride? Why?
It's good. Smooth and forceful.
9:05
west coast razors
Sorry if I said it funny.
@@CanobieCoaster Oh youre ok bro, i just thought ide comment bc why not lol. Sorry if i made you feel sad or anything!!
The classic revolution is the best ride at magic mountain.
I prefer some newer ones.
At Six Flags Magic Mountain, which of all their roller coasters has your least favorite location?
Probably Scream since it's blatantly in a parking lot.
Who loves Superman ride because I do
Fun fact: it’s The first roller coaster in the world to go 100 mph
It's a fun one.
Which roller coaster in California has your least favorite location?
Scream and Medusa are the two that come to mind since they are blatantly in a parking lot.
Well I have to say is that Six Flags imagine months in is the best theme park in the world
I love this park.
@@CanobieCoaster When. I. Go. I. Don’t. Want. To. Go. Home. Because. It’s. Fun.
Goodbye deadline and hello online
Which deadline?
Dejavu?
I rode it at Six Flags New England and it was good with the old trains.
It's funny how Sfmm is the Barry Bonds of theme parks. The behemoth park is huge, and really has no competition for the top spot. Yet people love to dog it. Whereas CP is like the Derek Jeter of theme parks, very good, but no matter what their fans eat them up. CP could put a pile of dog 💩 on the midway amd you'd still see fans applaud it.
Heck, if West Coast Racers, Full Th, Twisted, etc were in CP their fan boys would call them one of the best coasters in the world.
I prefer Cedar Point myself. Better overall experience.
