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. Amazing ride overall. Truly one of a kind due to its location and scenery!

It's really tough for me to discern differences in these clones. They all feel the same to me. This one has above average themeing compared to the others I've done.

I dunno, it's an old Arrow mine train. It's rough and throws you around. The location is a bonus, and it's not as horribly rough as other vintage mine trains (like Runaway Mine Train at SFOT).

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 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.

Great first drop. Not a bad ride, just doesn't feel like much is happening. The helix is intense. I enjoyed my ride on the sister coaster, Titan, at S...

Great first drop. Not a bad ride, just doesn't feel like much is happening. The helix is intense. I enjoyed my ride on the sister coaster, Titan, at Six Flags Over Texas a bit more.

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 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 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.

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.

It's a fun entry-level family coaster. It's not very intense, but the launches add a little zest. The location really is the best part of this since it's right on the water.

It's fun. It's a bit rough and janky. The first drop is pretty fun, but it's rough at the bottom of each hill. Pretty good airtime though. Operations were very friendly, but not very fast. Overall, it was a fun surprise, but nothing too memorable.

This is officially my first wooden coaster. Airtime didn't disappoint, but man, when you hit the bottom of a hill... you REALLY hit. Overall, the ride was super rough. Even worse in a wheel seat. All that said, you do have a lot of room to move, so when you get airtime, you lift out of your seat more than you expect. That part was a lot of fun. My body isn't super happy with me, though, after multiple rough rides.

It was more fun than I expected, but it was too short. The harness is pretty bad if you are at the height limit, like me. Also, it repeatedly racked me in my lower regions, which wasn't very fun.

I rode this when I was 9-11 years old. It was one of my first (and only) coasters I had ever ridden. It absolutely terrified me. So much so, I avoided roller coasters the rest of my life. Now, three decades later, I have discovered I love coasters and am trying to make up for lost time. I do remember that the views of the park from the top of this were pretty cool (before I had a panic attack lol).

This was my first-ever roller coaster. I rode this when I was 7-9 years old. I remember being terrified. Looking back at this, I imagine it was a pretty tame ride!
