This coaster is your run of the mill wooden out and back. A perfect coaster to introduce the little ones into coasters. Overall an average coaster with mild forces. Though it is close to being forceless it is silky smooth

I gather this is a somewhat truncated Revenge of the Mummy, but I never rode the others. In any event, the movie-inspired animations and projections are great while they last, and this is a real roller coaster with some thrilling moves, but one most of the family can ride. I'm not sure the storytelling really hangs together; it felt like there was another act missing when it rolled into the station.

I had to wait almost two hours to ride this on standby-- and by the end of it, they were saying that even the Universal Express wait was an hour. The capacity isn't great, and it didn't duel for me. That said... this ride was *way* better than I expected: butter-smooth and intense with a surprising, powerful launch up the lift, and amusing Battlestar Galactica theming in the queue. Rope-drop it for sure!

tldr: this is my favorite coaster on the planet. so to express my love for this masterpiece of engineering I'm going to go through the layout and show why this coaster is better than any other on the planet. going out of the station, there is a little drop that somehow still is able to pop you out of your seat, before going on to the lift. Looking at the layout from up there is unreal, a masterpiece of engineering. This first drop is one of my favorites, no matter what row you are in it still ejects you out of your seat into a drop that feels way longer than it actually is on-ride. You then go into a turn that banks you up and then flings you to the other side before dropping down, pushing you straight out of your seat and holding you there for a long time before dropping you down. You then are brought into the death roll, which is one of the best elements I've ever seen on a ride, for reasons that have already been said by literally everybody else. It shoves you out of your seat but has a spark to it, a little kink in the track that makes it so incredibly forceful. Hands down best element on the ride, and one of the best elements in the world. You then are brought into a super forceful high turn reminding you of the first one, and just like the first one giving incredible forces. My favorite part of this element is how it somehow pops you out of your seat on the way out of it, which is really cool to me. You are then brought into the wave turn over the station which gives really good airtime during it, one of the best sensations you get during the ride. You're then popped into a couple wave turns that shoot you out of your seat before popping down. You then are brought into the stall, one of RMC's best elements, not the best element of the ride but one of, feels like all the other stalls that RMC has done. You are then brought into the last turns and hills before the brakes. These hills feel always catch me off guard because they look a lot smaller than they feel. The last hill is the best, it pops you out of your seat to the point where I would say it's better than most coaster's first drops. You are then shot into the brakes. Overall, other than the airtime the pace is what sets you back. It is unfathomable how fast this ride is going from element to element. It flies through the track and it doesn't give you a break to take a breath. It is relentless, and for this reason it is miles ahead of my now 2nd favorite RMC, Steel Vengeance. It is also my favorite coaster in the world. So for anyone in the area, come to this park and ride this thing, it is the best coaster in America and it will take back anyone who rides it.

Tatsu is a really unique coaster with a really cool location on the mountain. The first drop looks like a hyper with the pathways being far below you. Don’t even get me started on the pretzel loop, it is monstrous with it being like 200 feet tall it tries to kill you and crush your ribs. Still it is one of the best coasters I’ve been on so far.

Ninja is a pretty fun ride with a good layout going down the hill. It is pretty intense with the first turn after the drop being the most forceful. It does have a slight rattle which you can kind of notice after the ride starts to go faster. But it is still a solid family/thrill coaster at Magic Mountain.
