In the mid-1990s, as a 10-year-old, I rode a roller coaster called XLR-8 (Arrow suspended coaster) at Astroworld in Houston. It scared me so much, I swore off coasters and then spent the rest of my life not thinking about them. Fast forward to two years ago, and I found out I actually love roller coasters. And now, after my visit to Magic Mountain, I got to ride an Arrow suspended coaster for the second time in my life, and instead of fear, I just had fun. Ninja is a bit rough and not super thrilling compared to other coasters. But the location and way it follows the terrain are excellent. The ride itself is a very enjoyable experience with a few pops of surprising intensity throughout.
