    Velocidad Layout Duración Torta Incomodidad ¡Romper en pedazos!

    This was the first stand-up coaster that I rode, and it unfortunately established my distaste for this model. I will also preface by saying I've ridden this and other Standups many times, but the issues always persist. The layout of Riddler's Revenge is typical for a B&M but it interacts well with the scenery it is placed in. The pacing is very strong, but that is where my problems start as well... Unlike other people, I don't really have issues with the ball busting or the headbanging, as those are nothing compared to what my legs feel. At the bottom of every element, or anywhere where strong positive G-forces are felt, my legs feel like they are being squeezed by a hydraulic press, and the pain is almost unbearable. It's low blood pressure that causes this, as standing up allows all the blood to pool in your legs, creating pressure and pain. It's unfortunate Magic Mountain already has Scream, because I would love for this ride to be converted to a floorless. It is unfortunate that my anatomy restricts me from enjoying intense stand-ups, but there's not much I can do.

    Layout Vibración Torta

    I'm sure this was a great ride back in 1990, but it's not the best now. There are some good aspects to this ride, such as the height and interesting layout. The first drop is pretty good and the best of any arrow looper I've ridden. The first section with the vertical loops is pretty intense and not too rattly, but then the second half is worse. The batwing is quite uncomfortable, as well as the transitions in and out of the corkscrews. I would not be sad if they replaced this with a new large-scale coaster.

    Situación Duración Tiempo muerto

    This family-thrill coaster was the worlds first steel coaster with a loop and has served an important role in the Magic Mountain lineup since its opening. This is an excellent coaster for someone's first inversion, given it is fairly tame and the loop itself is not too intense. The ride is situated on the front side of the mountain and makes several passes by the front plaza, greeting guests as they walk into the park. The layout is long and has a very nice location going through the trees on the mountainside. The ride consists mostly of mild hills and banked turns aside from the signature element; the vertical loop. There are no intense positive or lateral forces, though the loop itself provides some solid Gs. Another weak point is the pacing as there are several dead spots along the ride. This the only tame inverting coaster at Magic Mountain, and I hope it stays and fills that position for a long time.

    Situación Fun

    This is a very fun family coaster, especially given the era that this was built. Ninja winds around the backside of the Magic Mountain hillside, making it somewhat of a terrain coaster. It winds by some trees and over water features as well making the setting very pleasant. This is also somewhat intense for a family coaster as you pick up some considerable speed and swing around the turns. This is a well rounded family/thrill coaster.

    Launch Arnés ¡Decepción!

    Superman has some flaws, but it is overall a decent ride. It is unique in that you are launched backwards out of the station, and while the launch is not the most forceful, it is still quite fun as you can't see where you are going and you are accelerating for a long time. You get some weightlessness as you go up the tower, but the bulky restraints admittedly take away from that feeling. My biggest issue with this ride is that it only goes 2/3 up the tower, and even then the launch section is well above ground level. Nowadays you're lucky if the whole cart reaches the red section of the tower, which is only about 250 ft above the launch elevation. Though this ride is historic, I wouldn't mind seeing it removed and having the tower repurposed for a new and improved strata coaster.

    Inversiones Comodidad Fun

    Scream is the floorless coaster I have ridden the most, and it's honestly a very good ride. The ride is smooth, its inversions are graceful and fun, and there are even some intense spots such as the helix after the MCBR. There isn't any airtime or other crazy forces, but it's still a solid ride. This is a great supporting coaster to the MM lineup and I hope it stays for the foreseeable future.

    Fun Obra maestra Intensidad Vibración Incomodidad

    My first ride on X2 back in 2012 blew me away. The first drop is unparalleled, the inversions are crazy, and there are several very intense moments at the bottom of the elements. This ride has some mixed reviews, and even I didn't like it so much in the past, as it can be very rough depending on where you sit. From my experience, I have found that you can have more comfortable rides if you sit in the front row (that which leaves the station first), as it rattles less than other rows. In contrast, the back row has more shakiness but it is the most intense ride you will get, especially on the raven turns. I would only rank X2 third in the park, but it still deserves to be appreciated as a revolutionary coaster with forces and feelings you can't get on any other model.

    Situación Fun Vibración Demasiado corto Capacidad

    Coaster très bien intégré dans le parc. Le pre-show est vieillot mais la sensation de vitesse est bien présente. Dommage que le layout soit si court et simple. Pas mal de vibrations

    Bon ajout de la part de Bobbejeaanland. L'idée de la marche avant et marche arrière permet de varier les sensations. Par contre pour une machine neuve, quelques vibrations au last.

    ¡Buena sorpresa! Fun Layout Capacidad Incomodidad

    Coaster très fun avec un layout varié qui comporte des surprises et quelques passages avec une pointe d'intensité. La partie qui combine spinning et wild-mouse est très réussie. Un débit plutôt mauvais dû aux trains de 4 places. L'assise n'est pas vraiment confortable. J'ai eu un ride impeccable et très fluide, et un autre très inconfortable (freinage surtout). Je préfère Fear, mais Force n'est pas mal non plus !
