Every attraction at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Full Throttle is the park's front-door statement: a Premier launched coaster whose 160-foot vertical loop is visible from the freeway and which the entry road literally passes beneath. The launch hits 66 miles per hour into the loop, then a second launch reverses the train through the same loop's base backwards, and a third dribble of speed sends it over the top-hat.

Goldrusher 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.

Magic Mountain's Batman is the West Coast sibling of the 1992 Great America original, a first-generation B&M invert packing a vertical loop, zero-g roll, corkscrews and tight helixes into one of the smallest big-coaster footprints anywhere. Thirty years on, it remains the pacing benchmark other compact loopers are measured against.

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.

X2 opened in 2002 as X and became X2 in a 2007 rebuild, and nothing else at Magic Mountain — or almost anywhere — rides like it. The trains are gondolas on an extra axis: the seats flip forwards and backwards on a schedule set by the track's profile, so you drop the 215-foot first hill face-first whether you want to or not.

Tatsu is a B&M flying coaster and the best thing on the mountain by most enthusiasts' reckoning. The station sits at the top of Samurai Summit, and after the lift the trains rotate to prone and the terrain falls away — the layout drops off the hillside, threads under a bridge and around the summit rides, using the mountain's own elevation as part of the ride.

Superman opened in 1997 as one of the first linear-motor launch coasters in the world and held a speed record for a decade. The 2011 rebuild flipped the cars to face backwards: you accelerate away from the tower at 100 miles per hour, up the 415-foot spike, and hang weightless at the top with the entire valley behind your head.

Ninja is an Arrow suspended coaster, one of the last running: trains hang from the track and swing outward on every curve, and the layout threads through actual trees on the mountainside below the summit. Opened in 1988, it is the gentlest way to see why this park's terrain matters.

Colossus was Magic Mountain's racing wooden coaster from 1978, famous from film and famous for its white structure. In 2015 Rocky Mountain Construction rebuilt it as Twisted Colossus: the wooden structure remains, the track became the inversions-capable Ibox steel, and the two original tracks became one continuous circuit ridden by two trains that can race.

Goliath opened in 2000 as the park's giant drop machine: 255 feet down at 61 degrees, 85 miles per hour, into a course of hills and one extended helix that has become the ride's signature — a sustained high-g spiral that quietly dims the vision of riders in the front row.

West Coast Racers is a Premier racing launch coaster: two separate tracks, four launches between them, and trains that genuinely race through crossings and helixes. It opened in 2019 as the park's first new big coaster in years and immediately became the family favorite of the thrill tier — 48 inches, no inversions, relentless but never brutal.

Viper is the classic that refuses to leave: a 144-foot first drop into a vertical loop, a batwing, and the interlocking corkscrew finale that has been the park's silhouette since 1990. It was among the tallest looping coasters in the world on opening and remains the purest old-school looper at the park.
