If you are an amusement park aficionado, chances are you have visited a Six Flags park already. You may have already visited or been wanting to visit its Magic Mountain park, which is located in California.
Here is a fun fact about Six Flags Magic Mountain: it actually holds the record for most roller coasters in an amusement park! Specifically, it has 20 roller coasters and many of them are perfect for adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers.
If you want to find out which are the five most recommended ones (or the five scariest, depending on how you want to look at it), we have put together a list just for you:
The Riddler's Revenge
Do you think it is possible to ride a roller coaster standing up? If you think it is impossible, well, The Riddler's Revenge will prove you wrong because that is actually how you should ride this coaster.
You read that right! This means you are standing as you soar up into the air and even when the ride turns you upside down. It should also be noted that, according to the Six Flags Magic Mountain website, this ride has the biggest loop found in any stand-up coaster.
Tatsu
Ever wondered what it is like to ride a roller coaster face down? If you are curious enough, you might want to check out Tatsu the next time you are in Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Tatsu's speed can reach up to 62 miles per hour and it is actually 170 feet tall. At some point during the ride, you will even experience 96 feet of zero G roll. If you are wondering what zero G means, it means zero gravity.
Twisted Colossus
Wooden coasters may seem pretty old school, but amusement parks around the world have found different ways to make them more thrilling and even scary to ride. A perfect example of which Six Flags Magic Mountain's Twisted Colossus.
Twisted Colossus is one of the longest hybrid roller coasters in the world — so yes, it is still a wooden coaster to an extent — and is actually found inside the tracks of another coaster, Goliath. Pretty cool, huh? It is also a dual-tracked ride, so there is another coaster full of people on the tracks at the same time as the coaster you are on.
Wonder Woman Flight of Courage
What actually caused Six Flags Magic Mountain to win the record of most roller coasters in an amusement is the opening of its 20th roller coaster, Wonder Woman Flight of Courage.
According to the Six Flags Magic Mountain website, this roller coaster is also the world's tallest and longest single-rail coaster. The ride is 3,300 feet long and is 13 stories high. As far as its speed is concerned, it can go up to 58 miles per hour.
X2
If extreme roller coasters are your thing, then X2 is definitely right up your alley. After all, this roller coaster boasts of 360-degree rotating seats.
That's not all X2 has to offer. In fact, it also has head-first, face down drops, which is definitely not for the faint of heart. The speed of ride reaches 76 miles per hour and even has two of what Six Flags calls the "raven turns."
What are they exactly? Raven turns are "half loops that change their minds midway and become sheer drops." Again, not for the faint of heart.
It should be noted that, as of press time, X2 is closed for refurbishment.
