The Riddler's Revenge

54"137cm

Roller coaster · 2½ min · Line-skip

The world's tallest and fastest stand-up coaster — six inversions taken standing up, a category of ride that barely still exists.

The Riddler's Revenge is a 156-foot B&M stand-up coaster and the last of its size anywhere: stand-up coasters stopped being built, and the survivors are aging monuments. Riding it means standing against a bicycle seat through a vertical loop, two dive loops, an inclined loop and corkscrews — inversions feel categorically different on your feet.

Tips for The Riddler's Revenge
  • Get the seat height right at boarding — adjusting mid-ride is impossible and the wrong height hurts.
  • Stand tall through the loops; leaning into the harness is how riders end up sore.
  • Check the current Riddler’s Revenge queue in METROPOLIS rather than assuming a longer wait than Batman in DC UNIVERSE.

Gold Rusher

48"122cm

Roller coaster · 2 min · Line-skip

The 1971 mine train that opened with the park — the mountain's first coaster and still its gentlest.

Gold Rusher predates everything else at Magic Mountain: it opened with the park on day one in May 1971, and its lift, tunnel and dip course have introduced children to roller coasters for over fifty years. It is small, slow and completely unbothered by any of the records its neighbors chase.

Tips for Gold Rusher
  • Gold Rusher can be a gentler warm-up for suitable riders; check its current queue rather than assuming a walk-on.
  • The tunnel adds a brief dark section; prepare first-time riders who are uneasy in darkness.
  • Use it as a gentler warm-up for eligible riders at 48 inches or taller; it is not an under-48-inch option.
