Full Throttle - Six Flags Magic Mountain

Comfort Launch Fun Too short Reliability

If you accept that it's a short ride, you should enjoy both of the launches, the enormous loop and the great view and airtime over the top hat.

These coasters were a big deal when they came out because of their size and long list of inversions. I handle rough rides very well, but this thing made me sick with all the headbanging. SF Great America tore theirs down (Shockwave) and replaced it with Superman: Ultimate Flight. I expect SFMM should and will do the same in the near future.

Fast and smooth, especially for when it debuted. The first drop is a beast and you get a few moments of airtime, but I wish its speed was better utilized getting some more airtime.

Fun, long, nice floater airtime. Some slow parts and pretty rough, but this sucker is a classic.

Fast, tight, and full of ejector airtime. It's especially fun when the two trains experience the stall-roll and the inline twist simultaneously. Awesome ride... and then you get to do it again!

X2 is unique. I had myself hyped up, but it was not that intense. Very fun and smooth, but wish they did more with the layout and elements. Overrated, but it's still a must to experience.

My first coaster as a kid because it looked small...it left me scarred for a couple years! Now one of my favorite rides. Great pace with good floater and ejector airtime. It's a little rough like many traditional woodies. Overall fun ride especially at night.

If you sit on a non-wheel seat, you will get a very good ride.

Gemini is a solid coaster with some decent pops of airtime. However, the transitions are a bit jarring and the majority of the layout is your generic ‘70s wooden coaster flair — lots of outs & backs in a row. I think some theming, even putting some decor in the center of Gemini (around where the ending helix is) would do this coaster a lot of good.

Capacity Location Dead spots Layout

It’s a fairly decent coaster as far as mine trains go. I didn’t loathe this one, but I didn’t particularly enjoy it either. I did it for the credit!
