Wow. This is a positive G coaster! Especially when you ride in the back. It's like you're at the end of a whip. The blood will rush to your feet, and I greyed out a little and got dizzy on one or two of the elements. The back row is more intense and surprising. You don't get to see what's coming. You just experience it. The front row was really fun. Less intense. More like flying. Both are great experiences. I also did a night ride in the back row, but I think that would have been better in the front. In the back, the intensity + not seeing what's coming + flashing lights/shadows/rushing noises all make for a "what just happened to me?" experience, but not in the way I prefer. Great ride! And a pretty long one too. FEEL THE TERROR OF MONTU!

I like the look and setting of this coaster. The spaghetti track is really fun. The ride is also a very fun one overall. It's really whippy with all the zigs and zags. Pretty quick transitions. Unfortunately, the enjoyment is severely hampered by the harnesses. It might be because I'm tall (6'5"), but the hardness really hurt my shoulders and took away from the enjoyment.

A surprisingly intense family spinning coaster. Everyone getting off this ride seemed to really enjoy it. I also enjoyed it, but wished it was a little longer or did a few extra things. It's a pretty ...

A surprisingly intense family spinning coaster. Everyone getting off this ride seemed to really enjoy it. I also enjoyed it, but wished it was a little longer or did a few extra things. It's a pretty compact layout and spot, so that probably has a lot to do with it.

Maybe I'm fatigued on Batman clones, but I enjoyed this quite a bit. It's no Montu, but I found it more interesting than the typical invert clone. The cobra roll is right at the entrance to the park a...

Maybe I'm fatigued on Batman clones, but I enjoyed this quite a bit. It's no Montu, but I found it more interesting than the typical invert clone. The cobra roll is right at the entrance to the park and looks amazing. There are some great maneuvers throughout its layout.

I liked this more than Pony Express. I loved the theming and the location. It's such a fun little ride through a couple of areas of the park. I love that it's not isolated on a plot of land, but winds around the park areas. It's surprisingly long (in track length and duration) and more fun than I expected. It is rough with not-so-great restraints. It's also not a speed demon with ops, so the line got really long. But I liked it more than I thought I would overall.

There are one or two fun little moments on the drops, but the rest of this thing just does nothing for me. Add in restraints that feel bad on both my thighs and shins at the same time, and this can't ...

There are one or two fun little moments on the drops, but the rest of this thing just does nothing for me. Add in restraints that feel bad on both my thighs and shins at the same time, and this can't get ranked any higher for me.

Hangtime is a blast. It's also incredibly re-rideable. I rode it 10 times on my recent trip to Knott's Berry Farm and loved each ride. Yes, there is a little rattle from time to time, which is worse on one train vs. the other, but it's mostly smooth. The lap restraint is also very comfortable. Great ride with a pretty small footprint.

My first RMC! And... wow, that first drop! Also loved the zero go roll. Fun interactions and drop off the quarry wall. Pretty smooth. Nice airtime. Feels like it should be a little longer though. Amaz...

My first RMC! And... wow, that first drop! Also loved the zero go roll. Fun interactions and drop off the quarry wall. Pretty smooth. Nice airtime. Feels like it should be a little longer though. Amazing ride overall. Truly one of a kind due to its location and scenery!

What the actual fuck is this thing?? It's like being in a car accident... on purpose. It's so violent and insane. Easily the wildest roller coaster I've experienced so far. I read stuff like this before I rode it, and I still wasn't prepared for what I went through. It's like willingly choosing to experience trauma and then, for some reason, after it's over, thinking "I wanna do that again."

I think it's a pretty great layout and a fun ride. It's just not very comfortable. Positive g-forces + a bike seat, unfortunately, don't equate to comfort. If you can get past that, you'll have a grea...

I think it's a pretty great layout and a fun ride. It's just not very comfortable. Positive g-forces + a bike seat, unfortunately, don't equate to comfort. If you can get past that, you'll have a great time.

Hate the harness, love the ride. This coaster has a lower overall score than Wonder Woman Gold Lasso at Fiesta Texas, but I enjoyed it a lot more. I felt like this was a more complete layout and it had more fun moments overall. The first drop is great, and there are several stellar airtime and ejector moments throughout. I rode front, middle, and back. All seats were really good.

I rode this coaster 11 times on my trip to the park. It's fantastic. It's not my favorite RMC so far, but it's not my least favorite. It's airtime/ejector heavy, which is a good thing. Of those 11 rid...

I rode this coaster 11 times on my trip to the park. It's fantastic. It's not my favorite RMC so far, but it's not my least favorite. It's airtime/ejector heavy, which is a good thing. Of those 11 rides, I got 1 duel! The duel was super fun. I just wish it happened more often (maybe it does for other people). The zero-g stall on the green track and two big airtime moments on the blue track are the stand-out elements for me. The restraints aren't great, but not as bad as others would make you think. I'd take these trains/restraints over a Premier Rides train any day.

Tatsu was my first flying coaster experience. I rode the front and back. Riding the front is EVERYthing. Letting go with your arms out in front of you and just relaxing into the ride with no cars in front, you really feel like you're flying. It's something out of a dream. The layout is excellent, and so is the location. You are SO high up there because of the elevation changes. Most of this ride is a wonderful, floaty, flying experience... and then there's the pretzel loop. OMG, that might be the most intense inversion I've experienced so far (in my limited experience). I know it's technically not the highest g-force inversion I've done, but it sure feels like it. Something about the blood going to your head and feeling over 3g, I dunno. I either blacked out a little or just had a super hard grey out. It's wild.

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.

It's a really enjoyable ride. It wasn't particularly thrilling, and it didn't have anything that set it apart or impressed me, but I did have a very good time, especially racing the other train. The t...

It's a really enjoyable ride. It wasn't particularly thrilling, and it didn't have anything that set it apart or impressed me, but I did have a very good time, especially racing the other train. The trains are Premier Rides, so they are basically torture devices pretending to be roller coaster trains. I felt like my thighs were going to be severed. Another positive note is that I also liked how this ride goes right over the entrance to the "Underground" area of the park.

The track is beautifully placed with the Six Flags sign and water feature right at the entrance. Love the sights and location of the track on its layout. The loop is intense, as expected. The rest of ...

The track is beautifully placed with the Six Flags sign and water feature right at the entrance. Love the sights and location of the track on its layout. The loop is intense, as expected. The rest of the ride is fine. A lot of it doesn't really have much going on, and it's certainly not the smoothest. But it's still a worthwhile and fun ride.

This was coaster credit NUMBER 50 for me! And this is only my second wooden coaster ever. Compared to my first, Judge Roy Scream at Six Flags Over Texas, Stingray is very smooth. Compared to an RMC like Iron Rattler, it's not so smooth. That said, it is fun. It throws you around and has some great elements, like the higher intensity turns. I found the front to be just as fun as the back (just a bit less intense). It didn't blow my mind, but I'd happily ride it again and have a great time.

First off, I think this coaster looks amazing. The bright yellow and purple combo, with its layout stretching across paths and along the horizon in the park, is great. The coast itself was a nice surprise. Plenty of airtime all throughout its layout. It doesn't feel particularly fast, but the first drop is fun and the airtime keeps it interesting overall.
