@@alexguerin9472 actually, i was going to mention this in the video but i forgot.. twisted colossus has dueled in 85% of all my rides on it. The ride crews are always rushing guests to race the other train.
Gotta disagree, I think it's straight up rougher than Viper. I couldn't tell you why, but the first time I rode it, it shook me so hard I couldn't see, and during the final brake run it jerked and punched me in the face with the restraints. Viper's never given me anything worse than sore shoulders and that ride's my minimum two-rides-per-trip coaster.
100 percent agree with you on scream. Its a genuinely fun coaster layout, and I've never noticed a rattle. also I don't think i've ever waited longer than 5 mins to ride it. i'm always surprised to hear people complain about it. I feel like its because SFMM has sooo many great coasters that this one sorta pales in comparison.
I'm from Chicago suburbs so SF Great America is my local park and I do love it, but I've been to Magic Mountain once and it truly blows GA away. I've only been to two other Six Flags (St. Louis and New England) which are both pretty good but Magic Mountain is so superior. Dying to go to Cedar Point now.
The last time I was at Magic Mountain was 1981. The original Collossus was the big thing then. I remember it being pretty good, but I was as GP as you can get then (and still am!). I'm sure it would probably be, what, the 9th best coaster there today? I remember riding Gold Rusher when I visited the park for the very first time... in 1974. I remember it being the 4th best coaster at the time, and probably my favorite because it wasn't so intense. At the time, a ride called Mountain Express was arguably the top attraction but frankly, that ride was a hot mess. All it did was make me pretty nauseous and nearly killed my poor father. Love the footage with the sun shining in the background; really nice stuff!
While I don’t have Goliath quite as low as you, it really speaks volumes of the strength of SFMM’s lineup when the imposing 255ft coaster is not even in their upper echelon of coasters.
I've been waiting for this video ALL my life. I've been to a ton of amusement parks in my time, to include Fuji-Q Highland, and NONE of them are better than Magic Mountain. NOT ONE. Some may have bigger and better rides, they still don't top MM. Your list is almost identical to how mine would be numbered. I'd have left off the kid coasters though, only because I've never ridden any of them. Scream is a pretty decent coaster. Definitely not rough at all. Probably one of the most smooth in the park. I would waffle between Twisted Colossus and Tatsu as my number 2. Absolutely a hard decision. I've only ever been on TC one time, so Tatsu would likely have been my number 2. Full Throttle in the top 5 for sure. X2 is of course, top dog on my list as well. Absolutely the most insane and wonderful coaster that I have ever been on.
I haven't ridden Viper, Superman: Escape From Krypton, Batman: The Ride, Twisted Colossus or West Coast Racers yet so for now my favorite coaster there is Full Throttle followed by The Riddler's Revenge followed by Apocalypse, Colossus, Scream, Goliath, Tatsu, Ninja, X2, Goldrusher, Green Lantern: First Flight, and the Revolution. This park had the best collection of roller coasters I've experienced that this was one of the hardest rankings ever.
I was able to head over to Magic Mountain a couple weeks ago. We got to ride a lot of rollercoasters and probably could have fir more in that day. We were first in line for twisted colossus, as well as Scream right afterwards. Scream was not rough at all and it was quite enjoyable. Then we hit Goliath which had about a 10 minute long line. Next was Viper, which for me was one of the roughest coasters I have ever been on and there was a lot of head banging. my dad was in pain after that ride. After viper we went on Tatsu, which I loved. Next was X2 which was so intense, but awesome. Both Tatsu and X2 had about a 20-30 minute wait. Last, we road West Coast Racers, which was the only ride that had a wait time over an hour, but it was a fun ride too. I don’t understand the hate it gets tbh. 7 years ago I rode Batman and it was going backwards at the time, but damn that ride was rough and my neck/back hurt the rest of the day and my friends felt the same too. The only other Batman clone I’ve ridden is the one at Fiesta Texas, which I thought was very smooth and I rode that one 3 times in a row. I didn’t start riding rollercoasters up until a couple months ago, so the only major ones I have been on were at Fiesta Texas, Magic Mountain, and Knott’s from the last couple months.
My home park. Thanks for your opinions My top 14: 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Tatsu 3. X2 4. Full Throttle 5. Riddler's Revenge 6. Goliath 7. Batman The Ride 8. Scream 9. Ninja 10. Viper 11. Apocalypse 12. Superman Escape from Krypton 13. New Revolution 14. Goldrusher Not including the kid coasters because there's not much to say about them
I'm definitely one of the few that hates scream due to how rough it is. I recently rode west coast racers and it was amazing. It deserves a spot on this list. Tatsu and X2 are definitely my favorite. Dejavu was also a favorite before it was taken down 🥺
I was there on first opening day, it went all the way to the top, I believe it went backwards too! I was wondering when they were gonna fixed that! The drops on the old Colossus was awesome, the new one looks cool!
Back in the 90s Viper was one of my favorite rides in spite of smacking the sides of my head on the shoulder harness. If they have made the ride smoother or the harness more comfortable then I look forward to riding it again.
Been on all these rides multiple times and the only ones that scare me still is Goliath and drop of doom I never mention those rides when I go but when my friends mention them I'm like "fahkkkkkkk,let's go".
5:42 i think that’s because it is the most expensive ride to operate at the park so on low attendance days they might not see opening the ride as a good decision
Apocalypse is my favorite ride in the world to marathon. With its insane first half and calmer second, it provides an incredible marathoning experience where you get a great ride and when there is no line and the operator lets you ride multiple loops at once. If you binge this with a group of friends there is nothing better
When was the last time you rode Scream? I always agreed that Scream was near butter smooth... until August 2019. Out of nowhere, the ride gained the most insane rattle in the park. Now I agree with everyone on this
How is the food there? My home park is Canada's Wonderland and the food there was completely terrible with no clean area to sit and eat. Hope they improve that when they reopen!
It’s really shocking how good scream is. It’s the perfect example of enthusiasts not knowing what the hell they are talking about it. I think Scream is the 2nd best B&M at that park besides Tatsu. I was disappointed with full throttle
So I’ve been to the park yesterday and a couple weeks back and I’ve noticed that they weren’t running the second car because they switched the second car of Superman to face forward again! So maybe one will face forward and the other face backwards??
Colossus is now Twisted Colossus and Psyclone has been replaced with the INCREDIBLE Apocalypse Roller Coaster! You have to get back to the park, there have been SO many changes
oh yeah, I totally forgot! They have a bunch. I should’ve specified that Magic Mountain held the record just in North America. Thanks for the correction!
Magic Mountain doesn't rival Cedar Point Magic Mountain is Cedar Point's dad. I said it a million times and I'll say it a million more. Cedar Point is a wonderful Park. I love it. It is fantastic. But my best way to put this is, Cedar Point orders roller coasters and have them installed.. Magic Mountain deals roller coasters. If you don't understand the difference then I'm sorry. But I'll put it like this, for the most part Cedar Point doesn't have anything unique. Sure they have a bunch of tall roller coasters that you can find anywhere else. Hell theire most unique roller coaster Is probably Gemeni or wicked twister or whatever the hell that Intamjn Spike is.... Cedar Point orders a roller coaster. And then throws it on a slab of concrete. Maybe the plants and flowers and s***. Magic Mountain builds rides into the terrain. Hell you look at a ride like scream that people make fun of left and right and yet it's pretty much just like every coaster at Cedar Point. A run-of-the-mill coaster thrown on some concrete. But yet it Magic Mountain they make fun of it. That just goes to show the level of difference..
@@CoasterDash how is twisted Colossus not your favorite you get so much airtime and when it duels it feel amazing like nothing you will ever feel on any other coaster
@@CoasterDash Delete the comment? I second it! For me, ‘Jigsaw’ in the SAW movies could learn from X2 Your description was mostly spot on however there is no mention of one glaring ‘con’. I have never had my head so brutally bludgeoned on any ride (including tacky old fair rides) than on X2. Vekoma SLCs never bombarded me thusly. When I went to Magic Mountain for the first time, I rushed to this ride first thing due to all the hype. I rode it twice, hoping the first disastrous nightmare of an experience was an anomaly. I rode inside front and inside back, both times thinking I was lucky not to have to be rushed to the hospital. I have no malice in my comment, but rather I envy the people that can enjoy this terror without severe injury.
You say it’s a shame that Superman gets as much hate as it does yet you also say it’s boring unless you’re in the front and it’s unreliable??? But you cry about Goliath being terrible?? Hahahaha smh I’m convinced that all you six flags RU-vidrs just say the same shit about Goliath cause it’s the thing to do.
