The New Revolution front seat on-ride 4K POV Six Flags Magic Mountain 

Revolution was the first "loop" rollercoaster ride I EVER went on at 8 years old lol I will never forget waiting in line butterflies in my tummy, nervous about going upside down for the first time lol 🙃✌️

That "commentary" behind the camera sucks.

"Put heads against headrests". What a useful sign on the VR rollercoaster.

Roller roasters always look far less scary on video than real life

I was 13 years old when this ride opened. I still remember walking into the park and seeing this enormous loop. Lots of good memories with this coaster.

Revolution will always be a staple to Magic Mountain. Great ride with or without the VR experience. Always a great ride and a "must ride" anytime you visit. Solid classic coaster to socal.

I remember this rollercoaster from the movie "Rollercoaster", amazing to see how the landscape has changed in the last 35-40 years between the movie and this video.

The unnecessary screaming and mindless commentary makes watching these videos abnoxious

3 minutes of riding brakes.

Just went on this ride over the weekend. It's incredible. Great way to save an aging ride. Six Flags has done it again. First with Twisted Colossus and now the Revolution. Love it! Edits: You can ride without the glasses. They even have a special line for people that don't want to wear them. It was about an hour wait for people that wanted VR and I didn't see a single person go thru the no VR line where you could walk on the ride if you wanted.

The guys in the background are so annoying

New record for most trims

looks like it's still over braked

it seems people forgot this was the first coaster with a 360 degree loop. now it's being tarnished with virtual reality crap

Revolution was my first, grown up roll coaster... and I still love it until this day❤❤❤

VR is just a sign that we are liking technology too much, I just like coasters the way they are.

Thanks for having the POV go all the way into the station. I think for us nerds, a pov should ALWAYS end when the train come back into the station - not on the break run.

01:22: surely riders wearing the VR headsets won't see that safety sign?

You dudes were annoying af lol

To those complaining of overbreaking: its a 70s coaster that still exists, the first coaster with a loop, it's a piece of history. Of course it was not designed with today's knowledge and experience. The "overbreaking" is what keeps this coaster from tearing itself apart without making radical design changes.

It should've been called The New Revolution of Brake Runs, jeez...

These guys need to stop talking. Sort of ruined the experience.

This is the final scene (climax) rollercoaster from the movie "Rollercoaster" (1977). In the movie they were all excited about the loop.

The Revolution is Six Flags Magic Mountain's definitive ride and a classic. True the newer rides top this one with regard to intensity, but it's a classic. I was a kid in the 80's and would go to Magic Mountain a few times a year and this ride was one of the scariest rides because it went upside down. When entering the park as you make your way into the main plaza , the Revolution's Giant White Loop towers above directly in front of you which serves as the perfect icon for the thrills you are about experience through out the day. Magic Mountain wouldn't be the same without this ride and I'm very glad it's still there.

So many trims

you know, if they already wanted to "repair" it, THEY COULD HAVE ATLEAST TOOK OFF THE EXCESSIVE TRIMS.

The coaster looks a whole lot better now! The trains make it so much smoother, lots of landscaping has been done to make the coaster look refreshed instead of making it being worn out in the trees, and that paint job is amazing too :) Although I'd like to see the air brakes be removed and also the train slows down too often going through the track. Other than that, this ride is much better :)

I haven't rode this one...yet. However, I DID ride the Sooper Dooper Looper at Hershey Park and it is kind of a smaller sister coaster to this one. It also features the track going through the loop. Glad to see that both coasters are still around today as they were pioneers in looping coasters. The Sooper Dooper Looper, like all early Schwartzkopf loop coasters, didn't have the over shoulder restraints. The first coaster I rode that was like this was the Scorpion at Busch Gardens, Tampa. THAT is also still there. Goes to show that these coasters stood the test of time.

Interesting to see this after seeing it in the movie ‘Rollercoaster’ from 1977. Same pov in movie as this but there hardly any trees or additional coasters.

@1:22 There is something so charming about the gradual decent down a straight, slight decline that leads into the loop.

Well I'm glad they kept the ride as it's been there pretty much forever, but I really dislike this whole VR thing for the ride. I get it, it's called "Revolution" and they're trying to revolutionize the ride, but just like any other classic ride, it's best preserved in it's original form for people to appreciate it's true classic beauty.

The chain lift has a sick beat

The guys screaming in the background 😂😂

I thought they would've removed some of the trims. Still, does look smoother than before.

"Such a bad day for insurance companies". Cracked me up

I love this ride because this is the first roller coaster I got on, I had a great experience with this ride. the time when it goes upsideodwn just gives me the vibes🎉

I like how they didn't rip all of the trees out and built it right into the natural setting.

How many of us original Revolution gangsters remember ...when there wasn't a brake after the final curve and the train came to a hard stop at the powerhouse behind the loading train in front of it, ...then, the chain would pull you in to disembark as it push the train in front to the lift?!!! I think the trains once collided at the powerhouse and that's when they started breaking the train as soon as it came out the final curve.

Quite irritating with the ones screaming like they were about to die and speak a lot of completely incomprehensible nonsense during the ride, not least because of the fact that it's a very slow roller coaster where almost nothing happens. It looks like there are a lot of bigger, more extreme roller coasters around at SF Magic Mountain. I have to check out your other videos from Magic Mountain to ride with the more extreme coasters now. Nice video, anyway. I know that it wasn't you who did record it who did irritate the viewers with screams and speaking - cause you never do that in your videos and that's great. What other riders around you do during the ride is not something you can control. And it's good that you record these coasters too, even though wilder and more extreme ones exist. Thumbs up to you, look forward to see more and you do a great job!

Ah the memories. I rode it many times beginning in 1976 when it opened. It's been 20 years since I have been on the ride. Thanks for helping me relive the experience. Amazing how big those trees have grown. The drawback to this video is the running commentary by the clown in the background.

Gosh those guys in the back were annoying 😞

Thank all so much for letting me ride Revolution at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia,CA it was fantastic I've see the coaster on TV and in the movie RollerCoaster which is celebrating it's 40 th anniversary this year and this coaster made it's debut in the movie and to this day the Revolution like the Racer at Kings Island in Ohio is the symbol of our park this coaster is the symbol of Magic Mountain in California. Again thank you all for riding the Revolution at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California from Dayton,Ohio

Unfortunately all the trim breaks are still in place (nearly stopping the ride before the loop, and the one after the tunnel). I guess my expectations were too high.

so I see they kept all the trim brakes. in either case, great ride. such a legendary roller coaster. I sure hope this stays around for many more years to come.

2:14 Look at the shadow of the camera-rig...

I rode the original Revolution that came out in 1977 when I was in either the 6th or 7th grade and I was terrified because I had never gone upside down on a rollercoaster before. But once I got used to it, it was absolute favorite ride in the whole park! I miss the original one!

They should have REALLY restored the ride to the way it was when it opened. Those new trains look so corny.

Don’t these guys realize nobody’s watching this because they’re funny?

Beautiful ride... too many brakes.

"This is going to be such a bad case for the insurance company" -- Ha ha ha ha ha. That was funny

Only thing new is the paint job right?

Classic. I didn't like the orange coaster built all around the Revolution in some of the areas. Great video. Thanks for this!

too many breaks...sigh

I live In France. And I remember the movie in 1977 « rollercoaster ». The title In France was « Le toboggan de la mort » (« death slide »). The poster for the film in France impressed me as much as the film. And I'm so happy to see this video on RU-vid it brings back so many memories of my youth because this film had a great impact on me. I hope one day to be able to take a ride in this Rollercoaster in homage to this film. Knowing that in the 70s/80s there were no rollercoasters in France. it was more in the UK and Belgium. So after the film I dreamed of riding in this kind of attraction. By the way In France we call rollercoasters : « montagnes russes » (Russian mountains) 😉

I laughed because of how dumb the guys were

Very realistic. CGI has really come along way. I almost can't tell that this is animated.Good job.

Great idea, in theory. Horrible execution. Trains take WAY too long to load despite the fact that they had 4 or 5 staff loading and that's not including the operators or the ones cleaning gear or handing them out. Operating expenses must be outrageous. It was literally more than 8 minutes for a train to leave. Trains were leaving the station half-empty because they couldn't get the equipment syncing or couldn't hand clean the units fast enough. Maybe a combination of both. In regards to the ride, VR looks choppy. I've been a passholder for over ten years and I have to say, bad idea Six Flags. Take away the gimmick and keep it as a classic coaster.

@Janet Not even close (in terms of years). Revolution WAS the first closed circuit looping coaster, but not THE first coaster with a loop. THE first coaster with a loop was the Flip Flap Railway which was built at Coney Island in 1895.

Jesus, so many unnecessary trim brakes. They killed the potential air time on the tops of those hills. :(

I wish one of these videos that go through a loop, would turn the camera to the side. It's so much more spectacular of a view, than watching the track. You get the see the whole world do a 360 spin.

I'm view number 666. I'm just going to say... it's looks exactly the same... but I'm sure it probably feels slightly different, but I still don't see driving all the way out there just for it...

One of the few rides that I can still ride at Magic Mountain lol.

A great video... totally ruined by all the screaming and blather. I think you may have contracted (Robb) Alvey's Disease ("Wheeeeeee!"). Sadly, no one has found a cure for Alvey's Disease, so we'll just have to mute your future posts.

Pretty smooth, a good coaster for newbies

What's with all the yapping and fake screaming?

the commentary is amazing and his screaming is so funny 😂

the ride slowed down so many times when the guys began to get excited they immediately got quiet cause the ride would slow down lol .. Great ride for beginners though

That's a awesome rollercoaster .I'm driving up there this year to ride this...gonna travel from texas. ...we got 2 six flags here that are great...But magic mountain is the mecca of Amusement parks...gotta go at least once in your life

WTF. EVERYONE GO TO 2:18. THERE IS A GUY STANDING NEXT TO THE ROLLERCOASTER

This looks like a really nice ride.

As seen in the 1977 movie "Rollercoaster".

@1:49 I think that was the spot Timothy Bottoms was hit by the train in the movie _Rollercoaster._

I don't like that it has so many brakes

Overall, the repaint and new trains look great, but you can tell that the ride still is over-trimmed and crests the hills about as slowly as a kiddie coaster. That is a shame that SFMM did not use the opportunity to restore some of the original speed (cresting the hills) and airtime of when Revolution was first opened.

i think it'd be a fine coaster w/o the vr.

A classic rollercoaster from 1976. the film "rollercoaster (1977)"was also filmed there.

no offense but WHO is gonna watch a 2160p 4k video when we can't even watch 1080p HD

Always liked the station design on this coaster. Watching this makes me think of “National Lampoons Vacation” and “Rollercoaster” movies. Trimmed or not this is a really cool ride and I’m sorry I don’t live closer.

This ride changed history.

Gp: hey there’s The Revolution!! Gp friend:lets go ride it *THEY RIDE IT* Gp: that was one heck of a ride *in 2017* Gp:LETS RIDE THE REVOLUTION!! Gp friend:ok! *they ride it again with over the shoulder bars. Gp: hold on..that was the same ride.... Gp:so they just stuck VR and over the shoulder restraints Gp friend: that just sucks.. Gp: what’s next? VR on lex Luther’s drop of doom? That’s literally how the gp is 🤣🤣🤣

This is one of my favorites at six flags

This video made the ride look easy and I just went on this coaster in real life it was super fun a bit ruff but for my first looping coaster I have to say this was awesome I recommend if you ever for to this park that you should go on this ride!

I’m 8 and 49 inches today I’m going to magic mountain and for my first time I’m going to go on NEW revolution it looks so fun I never went on a loop before 🤩

Glad to see its still the same

Sitting front seat of a classic rollercoaster and then wearing a VR headset. Madness.

You can see this coaster in the movie "Rollercoaster" (1977) , with George Segal and Richard Widmark

Great coaster for those not used to looping coasters

Its not a roller coaster without the signature “OK HERE WE GO” and “OK” and “AHHHHHHH”

This coaster was featured in the 1978 movie KISS Meets The Phantom of the Park

If you saw National Lampoons Vacation, you'll remember Wally World's 2 roller coasters. The screaming meanie has the same layout as Colossus. The whipper snapper has the same layout as revolution

Me watching rollercoasters on yt : They don’t look that bad I will go on them next time. Me when I get there in real life : yeah I’m not gonna go on any rollercoasters today

Noah: ohh a roller coaster pinkie pie: I’m scared Noah Noah: pinkie it’s not go to hurt you if you muno and me have a good friend

I've been wanting to ride this since National Lampoons vacation came out..And finally after more than 35 yrs I will be in California this August 2023..And guess what's on the top of my list????DISNEY???Nope...Knotts???maybe?Revolution rollercoaster..YES,YES,YES,The top of my list is to ride this rollercoaster..It will be the first one I ride when entering the park..

They did this to the shockwave here in six flags over Texas too! So amazing

when I went the attendant was hilarious because he kept making jokes such as "What's the opposite of stop" and then started the ride from there

Love the video! thanks! ...and yes, I had to mute it. :)

Reminds me of "National Lampoon's Vacation (The Original 1983 hit movie)" which had SNL alum Chevy Chase (Clark Griswold) and SCTV alum John Candy (Russ Lasky) on this exact same roller coaster. Clark had a BB gun pointed right at Lasky. They both went mad crazy on that ride.

Throw a couple of good loops to loops, barrel rolls, and downward spiral, and it would be a helluva ride.

Isn't that the exact same coaster they used when they filmed "Rollercoaster" from 1977?? I know it's been updated over the years. Imagine Timothy Bottoms who was on the movie riding this today (He's still alive today).

A year from now, when they give up on the VR headsets, this video is going to be a collector's item.
