This ride was such a pleasant surprise. I haven't felt this much intensity on an inverted since Dueling Dragon's Chinese Fireball many years ago. I say this even after adding in Montu, Black Mamba, and Raptor in the past few years. The G-Forces are so strong during the turns it was awesome. I appreciated the location even though I had to mentally block out the views of Levi stadium (Go Rams). And the theming was better than most six flags efforts. We had no line to speak of during our visit and rode this in the middle, then the front and honestly I loved them both. One of the best representations of B&M inverted coasting IMO. Either save the park or at least save the ride.

We loved our experience. The chair lift up the mountain is worth the experience. The ride was was longer than we expected and totally fun and relaxing at the same time. Breezing through the German forest face to face with cows at one point. Well maintained; the track is fairly smooth. The straight away larger drops were awesome and you could pick up some descent speed. There was a banked 180 I took at full throttle too. Well worth it, totally unique for an American…

Has this ride gotten worse? I remember being pleasantly surprised at the pace and enjoyment on this ride. It's intense for such a compact layout for sure. But after our ride yesterday I'm pretty sure my internal organs were all bruised. It's so rough. I used to think Viper was the more painful ride at Magic Mountain but after riding both on the same day Apocalypse is the undisputed king of body harm. We only rode it once so as to protect the future well being of my body, off to the dentist tomorrow to have the fillings in my teeth replaced.

My 100th coaster credit! Very good ride but a little difficult to place in my tops ranking. Not as good as Ghostrider; better than American Thunder and Apocalypse. Not as intense as Boss but definitely smoother. That being said it is definitely fun and the train is comfortable, speed throughout does not let up and the extreme banks in the turns are awesome.

This is an amazing ride and I understand why it is #1. However I stand behind my review that Iron Gwazi is the true #1 but probably too intense for...

This is an amazing ride and I understand why it is #1. However I stand behind my review that Iron Gwazi is the true #1 but probably too intense for some people. Steel Vengance is very re-ridable. I could have rode it multiple times back to back. After Iron Gwazi I need an emotional break. The death roll drop blew my mind. So no hate here, but to me IG is the true masterpiece for true enthousiants.

We weren’t sure what to expect from this ride after reading reviews, but we were bracing for a harsh ride. We rode the front row then again in the back. The front was much smoother than anticipated and the re track sections were awesome. The back row was much more violent. It was obvious when the train transitioned to the old track, and I couldn’t believe how violent it was. That being said we still had fun in both rows. Much better ride then its reputation suggests.

The line for this ride seem to always be bad. But if you can catch it at an off time it's worth the ride. Very smooth, fun layout, and the dual adds excitement. Climbing into the cars is a bit difficult as it is extremely cramped. I'm 6'2" and 200lbs but in shape, and it takes contortion to get into the seat especially if you have to cross over the first chair. The harness seems excessive as well, a single lap bar would work much better than the over the shoulder which scraped my face as I pulled it over (you have to lift your arms just to get into the thing). However once you are wedged into your seat it's comfortable enough. It's a fun ride. Anything that guarantees a duel adds to the thrill of the experience.

First ride for me even though we frequent the park. I enjoyed the stand up experience having not been on one since Iron Wolf at Great American years ago. It's a unique experience and the ride has an excellent layout. At first I thought the harness was fine. I was comfortable enough through the lift hill. Then during some banks I experience major head banging, and smacked my ear against the harness a few times. Now that I'm aware of that I could try to resist that effect in the future, since the ride is fun overall.

Nothing but pain. We skip this ride every time we go to the park. OK I have to edit after our ride on 11/2/2024. We rode front row and it wasn't as bad as I remember. Maybe because after riding Apocalypse beforehand nothing can compare to that rattle.

This is a must do ride at the park. If it didn't run both sides it was be extremely short. Airtimes a plenty but only one inversion per side. I also don't care for the bend on the initial drop, but that's just me. Don't expect a dual it almost never happens. They could force the green side to wait for the blue to catch up and guarantee duels but they don't. They do this on West Coast Racers so why not here? Anyway it's RMC and a must ride and the first drop is intense. After riding Iron Gwazi I can't help but feel disappointed at the implementation on Colossus. Could have been more.

Went on this coaster at our "home park" just to get an additional coaster credit. The layout was awesome running back and forth across the top of magic mountain. But it's slow and uncomfortable. Not memorable at all.

Got the back row for the first time which may daughter says is most intense. Getting pulled over the first drop was insane but over quick (luckily for me). Insane ride, seemed more intense than my first go. No re-rides same day for me haha.

Fun enough ride. Smooth. Too short. Seems way overrated to me. The small wooden Apocalypse is much more fun, as are TC, Tatsu, X2, and even...
