This is an elaborately themed ride, only let down by its roughness. The indoor, dark beginning of the ride is terrific and there are some good moments, but it bangs your head a lot. There are some good spots of ejector airtime. Overall, the ride is fun, but not the best in the park. Capacity is also fairly poor.

An intense invert, with a good layout and - even after all these years - very smooth. It’s a bit short, but still a great ride, if not as good as its Northern sibling. The ride operations weren’t great, but certainly not bad. The theming in the tunnel at the start of the ride is great!

I did two rides on this. One in the middle and one at the front. The middle of the train was surprisingly shaky, and a little headache inducing. However, the front of the train rode much more smoothly. Great first drop, insane airtime and the loop has ludicrous amounts of hang time. The operations were quick, and the loose article policy sensible. Short but with amazing pacing, this is one of the best coasters I have ever ridden. Brilliant stuff.

Oh man, I love Ghostrider. Such a phenomenal wooden coaster with so much airtime and laterals. That drop off the midcourse is absolutely top tier in the back and your basically out of your seat for the whole duration of the second half until that unbanked helix. Unlike Goliaths where it packs in the positives, Ghostrider pins you to the side of the train with those strong sustained laterals. As a wooden coaster, Ghostrider is ridiculously smooth. Smoother than Hangtime infact which is much younger and is made of steel. Really shows how much care and maintenance Knotts does to this thing, love it to death and I always will. My one gripe is that they seem to run one train on Ghostrider on a variety of times I visited, which really sucks considering how stacked this park gets and how much attention Ghostrider receives.

Why all the hate for this B&M invert? Its a long, smooth, graceful ride that takes you over the paths of Ghostown. And the intensity is still there with the final helix always making my feet numb. In my opinion its probably the best invert in SoCal, over Batman The Ride. Even though its much less intense, it has a variety of forces, and still has the intensity that many enthusiasts crave. Really great ride, just wish it had a bit more theming considering it is in the Ghostown area of the park where it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb.

One of the most cloned layouts for a reason. This tiny invert packs a hard punch! Placed in a park filled with behemoths, this coaster seems to be forgotten, but its still one of the most intense coasters in the park. The corkscrews are ridiculously snappy and the two vertical loops are wayyy to intense, in a good way. Not to even mention that crazy zero g roll! However, it does a have a rattle like a lot of other B&Ms and is a bit short, so I can give it higher than a 3.5. A great invert for what it is, and a definite must ride every visit.

Whats with all the negative comments? Viper is a beast and no one can deny that. Its super intense with those vertical loops, has some surprising ejector pops and some super slow hangtime filled inversions at the end. Its only real con is the roughness, but people tend to forget that this ride was built in 1990. Its great for what it is and is still one of my favorites at the park. I just wish Magic Mountain would focus more on improving their older attractions, for example retracking, reprofiling Viper and giving it new trains, than just continuously adding more roller coasters. Great ride, does not deserve the hate.

Un concept assez rare (coaster moto, avec assises originales) qui est très fun à faire ! (Également drôle à regarder de l'extérieur). Et le public l'a probablement compris car c'est une des attractions avec le plus de file à Toverland.
La launch est solide : on a vraiment l'impression d'être aux starting-blocks d'une course de moto GP.
La layout allongé est assez simple et court avec quelques bosses dans les lignes droites et des hélices.
À noter qu'à part dans les trains la thématisation est absente, la file étant même un peu tristounette.

I really don't understand all the low ratings on this ride. It was built as a fun thrilling attraction for all and it does just that. Really fun winding layout across the hills of Magic Mountain, taking its riders on a tour around the park. It even has a strong pop of airtime as it enters the brakes. My one complaint with the ride is the smoothness and transitions, it is a very old arrow and one of their first, so its completely understandable. It did give me a bruise one time, so that experience wasn't very good, but overall its a fun ride for all riders and a nice introduction to much more thrilling roller coasters.

It's just another wild mouse I had to do to snag all the credits. I've never been a fan of the concept but it's a nice step up for the kids from a kiddie or family coaster. The only pros I've given for wild mice are the decent drops or incredible theming. This one did not have theming but it did have one of those signature drops that was able to redeem itself. These have small footprints in amusement parks but their capacity is always abysmal and I'm always stuck in a line for these things. I also can't stand the layouts. It's nice to be that high up, but the sharp turns near the top get me dizzy. 2/5 stars
