ytterbiumanalyst Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Twisted Colossus is far and away the best ride at Magic Mountain, no question about it. It seems personal preference takes over after that, since opinions vary widely on Goliath and several other rides. This would be my top 5: 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Goliath 3. Tatsu 4. Ninja 5. Lex Luthor
Jason Maier Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Can Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom & Superman: Escape from Krypton run at the same time?
Arthur_Seaton Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Twisted Colossus is far and away the best ride at Magic Mountain, no question about it. It seems personal preference takes over after that, since opinions vary widely on Goliath and several other rides. I even vacillate on TC being at the top of my own list of favorites there. I like the ride very much, but I find that TC, Goliath, and FT (my other favorite there) all play different roles. While TC is a very smooth ride, it still flings you around a great deal—and that's one of RMC's less-appealing characteristics for this particular rider (NTAG is my favorite out of the three RMCs I've ridden as it's more traditional in style)—whereas Goliath and FT are pure enjoyment/fun. If I were to rank them, I'd place FT first and TC and Goliath in joint second place. Ninja and pre-2013 Apocalypse would be fourth and fifth I think. Different strokes!
ZeroG001 Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Even after visiting seven new parks on the East Coast a few weeks ago, TC is still in my top 3. It's an incredible ride and I'm so happy we finally have some ejector air in So Cal. In terms of SFMM itself, it's interesting to see how everyone's top 5 at the park tends to differ other than TC. Mine is TC, X2, Full Throttle, Tatsu, and Batman in that order.
thrillseeker4552 Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 For me, it would be... 1. Twisted Colossus 2. X2 3. Tatsu 4. Full Throttle 5. Viper Goliath, Batman, Riddler, and Apocalypse (when it's smooth) are honorable mentions.
VegasBaby Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 For me, it would be... 1. Twisted Colossus 2. X2 3. Tatsu 4. YOLOcoaster 5. Viper My list is very similar with Goliath instead of Viper: 1. X2 2. TC 3. Tatsu 4. Goliath 5. Yolo
JT325 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 When you get over being jerked around like a rag doll... Revolution still has (what I think to be) the most beautiful layout in the park. (if you can ignore the VR debacle). Intensity is overrated. (Don't get me wrong, I like that too.)
wbprecision Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Went recently for the first time, my order is: 1. Tatsu 2. X2 3. Twisted Colossus 4. Full Throttle 5. Goliath
chammonds96 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 1)X2 2)Twisted Colossus 3)Tatsu 4)Full Throttle 5)Scream
Superbatboy Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 1.Twisted Colossus 2.X2 3.F. Throttle 4.Batman 5.Tatsu
joshfreund Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 1. TC 2. Riddlers 3. Yolo (front seat) 4. Goliath 5. Tatsu
DILinator Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Last time I went, TC and YOLO weren't there yet... 1. Tatsu 2. Apocalypse 3. X2 4. Batman 5. Riddler's Revenge Yeah... I like the Stand-Up better than Goliath! (Ninja, too!)
dannyboy13 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Twisted Colossus Tatsu X2 Full Throttle Superman (but only if it can be done 5 or more times in a row)
WestCoasterKing Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I don't have any particular order. Tatsu FullThrottle TC Ninja Old Revolution
laqueefa Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I don't have any particular order. Tatsu FullThrottle TC Ninja Old Revolution How old are we talking? Original with lapbars, OSR version before VR, or the New Revolution (with or without VR)?
JeromyL Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Wow I remember old revolution... with super fast dispatch times LOL. Was the fasted line in the park...never stopped moving... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
WestCoasterKing Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 ^^ I haven't been on New Revolution yet. Old Revolution is pre-OTSR. Rode it once with the OTSRs, and never again.
sfriday1998 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I only rode all of these once, but... 1. Tatsu 2. Twisted Colossus (I was underwhelmed, honestly) 3. X2 4. Superman 5. Batman
thrillseeker4552 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 ^^ I haven't been on New Revolution yet. Old Revolution is pre-OTSR. Rode it once with the OTSRs, and never again. Gotcha. I thought you were referring to the OTSR version, which made me seriously question your taste in coasters.
SFMMFan76 Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Updated Justice League construction picture and complete repaint of Riddlers Revenge, both taken on Sunday afternoon before I started my shift at work there.
Nrthwnd Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 ^ Mmmmm from this distance, the repaint looks nice.
JGuy Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 If anyone's interested, since the temperature is high (As the past few days have been), the VR on Revolution might not be used to prevent the phones from overheating. If anyone feels like dealing with the heat, you can ride it all day without waiting more than a few minutes per ride.
JT325 Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 ^In that case, I hope they heat is way up when I visit next month. I want to get as many Revo rides as I can!
