Tatsu is the only coaster that has made me contemplate my mortality. It all started during the climb to the top. The steel beams looked huge against the tiny trees that grew tinier by the second. Panic set in as I dangled vulnerably from the sky. Once we took off, my mind asked questions like, “What if it derails, and we go flying off the track?” Next thing I know, a hysterical woman is screaming expletives and phrases like, “WE’RE GOING TO DIE!” and “JESUS, WHY?” As the train pulled into the station, it was with profound humiliation that I learned the truth: I was the hysterical woman.

i think it's demonic that x2's height requirement is only 48 inches. that ride was way too intense for 3rd grade me

The only thing I remember about Viper was being in pain. My shoulders hurt for days.

imo X2's first drop is probably the most intense moment in california

Tatsu’s pretzel loop is the most forces I’ve felt on a coaster. Pretty freakin forceful gotta say

This man has some serious balls, he pissed off the world by saying. “I personally am not a fan of Goliath,” hella respectable.

That last raven turn in the back row on x2 is by far the most demonic element on a coaster, especially if it's been warmed up through out the day.

I was really shocked that Tatsu was so low if the list, especially below Scream. I thought Tatsu was the most intense coaster for the ride system and inversions while Scream was mostly forceless.

X2 is the most intense and my favorite for sure I love that ride

I went on x2 yesterday. I'm 13 and my 26 year old brother forced me. had the time of my life and glad he made me go on it. If you go there sit on it first!!!!

The top 3 for me are X2, Tatsu, and Goliath. X2 since it is crazy intense. Tatsu since I greyed out on the Pretzel Loop and that usually doesn't happen to me. Goliath since in the double helix makes me close to greying out. Also awsome list!

I LOVE that you actually put arrows when talking about the direction your body is thrown on Twisted Colossus! You could have only said it in words but for me being a visual learner, it really helped me understand how the roller coaster’s elements affect its riders. Very informative!

X2 was the first coaster I rode at Magic Mountain simply because of the wait time and everything else just felt like baby steps the rest of the time.

From the UK and agree after riding X2 twice it is the most intense coaster I’ve ever ridden. The adrenaline rush is incredible. We have no coaster in the UK that even comes close to this coaster. World class.

Oh man, my one and only visit to Magic Mountain was the summer of 1990, the year Viper opened. My recollection was that this was the biggest and baddest coaster at the time and had huge waits. I can't believe that it's hated and basically a walk on 30+ years later. Viper and Colossus were the only two coasters I was able to ride that day and they both remain legendary experiences in the memory of my 10 year old self.

taking a shot every time I hear "sheer speed" .. ill keep you updated. thanks for the list man! I like your appreciation for the same aspects of these coasters!

I'm loving these sfmm videos!

The Pretzel loop on Tatsu is the only time I ever did the "AGSM" Anti G Straining Manuever on a coaster.

Tastu had me in tears today lol didn’t realize you face straight down till after we already waited 2 hours in the heat for it so I couldn’t back out 😅 so happy I did it though!!! Super intense but fucking amazing and makes you feel good!

I agree that apocalypse is extremely good. Particularly it's double down after the overbank, that moment is really intense. The first drop is amazing too

great vid, very informational for my upcoming trip. well earned sub

I’ve always been too scared to go on any really intense roller coasters before. For me, the Steel Eel at SeaWorld was pushing it. Finally last weekend at 28 I went to Magic Mountain and was told X2 would be a good start to the day. I was lied to! But it was a hell of a fun ride!

Just realized this is at 150k congratulations!! 🙌🏾 I love your videos

Batman the ride in the front row is insane. It feels significantly faster and more intense and is absolutely one of my favorite rides of all time.

Just discovered this channel and I have to say - I love it!

I rode X2 last Saturday and I have never been to six flags and I had a fear of roller coasters. But I absolutely loved it

Love this video for giving Apocalypse and Scream the respect they deserve

This video is AMAZING! I love your channelllllll!!!!!!

Good job. I like how you deal with your haters. You got all the angles covered. I got to ride USA's first flying Rollercoaster at CA Great America in 2000! It was short lived but bad ass! I want to ride X2, rode Tatsu though.

X2 first drop backrow is probally the most intense thing ive been on

I personally found X2 alot more smoother than id imagined it to be.. its almost like the sensation u get on silver bullets initial drop mixed with Full throttle’s launch all mixed together but inverted. I love it and imo WCC had a much more significant effect on me bc i nearly greye’d out on the yellow helix with me expecting it to be a tame coaster 🤣

When I went on west coast racers I did not expect the intensity! I actually passed out (first ever time at six flags) but HANDS down my favorite ride ever. I love how it goes again. Some rides you kind of feel like “wow I waited so long in line for this?” But not with this. REGARDLESS of having it break down while I was waiting in line and riding it. I loved it and it was great! The fastest one I’ve been on is twisted colossus and it was insane! I did not like it I mean maybe cause I did not expect it considering my friend said it was a “chill ride” I seriously did not expect it and felt absolutely sick. I loved the feeling of adrenaline after. But something I need to note is that it doesn’t feel very safe and you definitely you feel like you’re gonna fly out of your seat but if that’s what you like then go for it! I just personally prefer the nice safe feeling seats from west coast racers.

Most underrated coaster channel on KZfaq, keep it up!

Initially when I saw X2 not listed/labeled on the list in the video as the others were, I wanted to personally fight you 😅 It really is an incredible experience. Tatsu sticks out because it was ultra smooth. MIght've been my 2nd favorite but X2 is just a different beast from the rest!

Great video!

Nice job on the video! Also ... enjoyed your injection or humor!

You said that Escape From Krypton only has one moment. That one moment was why I waited 90 minutes in line!!!

Bro my first rollercoaster was Batman that’s why I thought I was gonna die

X2 is how I imagine 1. Dying feels, 2. The last thing Noble 6 saw at the end of Halo: Reach and 3. What a Geometry Dash character goes through when completing Tidal Wave

The x2 OMG I ALMOST DIED😅😭jp but it’s so scary 😩😂but fun all the rides I got on is fun !

seriously, your channel is way underrated

I completely agree! my first looping roller coaster was new revolution

Nice presentations!!

I totally agree with this list, X2 is incredible and Goliath makes me feel like the sky fell on top of me.

I’m 42 years old been living in California all my life and yesterday was the first time going to magic mountain. Face my fears of roller coasters. And my first ride was x2 . Shit was insane. My boys are the ones that put me up to it. They told me ride x2 first then the rest are rides are going to be chill. I’m so glad I did. Can’t wait to go again and ride tatsu. It was closed when we went 😢

Tatsu was the first big roller coaster I came to love, and part of the reason I could overcome my fear is for some reason I find the superman position calming. I find the pretzel loop very relaxing, it pushes me back in my seat and feels like a nice weighted blanket on me :D Weirdly I find the corkscrews on it more intense than the pretzel loop. But all of it is such a blast!!!

Ok hear me out, on the finally on golf rush (the helix) it's pulls some pretty sick Gs!

my first time i went on tatsu i was 10 and i blacked out on the pretzel loop. i was only ten but now that i am older i don’t black out on it anymore!

Your so good i dont think that you have a single dislike

I remember when Viper first opened. It was the first roller-coaster to match combat jet planes g forces. The twist in a barrel roll is the actual twist barrel roll in a f-15 or f-18 hornet.

The fact that you ranked Superman so low in intensity makes me feel like a wuss for being terrified for a decade. I will conquer my fear on Monday my dude 💪

I haven’t gotten on every ride yet as I have only gone to six flags twice. But so far twisted collosus was the most terrifying for me, those drops are insane

I really like viper and I don’t really care what people say it just reminded me a final destination three but I really love the ride btw I like snakes

I pretty much agree with your rankings. I just fine X2 too rough (outside seat) to endure, but it is intense.

OMG SCREAM IS SO FUN THAT RIDE IS LITERALLY AWESOME

I am glad that you like to viper :D by the way second time watching the video and third time commenting

Heading to SFMM next week! Can’t wait to experience it all!

magic mountain coasters make my brain go brrrrr

I went today but tatsu AND x2 were closed :( but i went on every other rollercoaster. Plus we went to universal studios for 2 days before, so i only got 1 day at magic mountain and sadly the 2 best coasters were closed haha, hope to visit soon again but its a 7 hour drive from where i live

dam im actually scared to go. It will be my first time ever going next month

X2 - that ride that made me scream like a little b. i admit it, It scared the living shit out of me. Thanks for the Viper love. Highly underrated because its an old arrow. At least it didn't have the shitty old trains revolution had with both the shoulder restraints and lap bar. Viper only had the shoulder restraints, which if not careful out goes your keys and wallet.

I still can't believe how CLOSE Batman The Ride brings you to the concrete below. It's just insane

X2 I passed out for a few seconds and rag dolled then came too. The ride is like crack you either love or hate it

Hahaha 🤣 your scream presentation

Scream is awesome, always a must when we go to Magic Mountain.

Tatsu is on a level!! X2’s like space mountain in comparison. Tatsu is like being gripped and spun around by an unpredictable mythical creature. While X2 has the name and branding of a bow flex type deal. X2 is by far one of the most fun rides around. Not sure if I would ever give Tatsu another go. Love the video. Thank you

When I was maybe 10, my dad had forced me onto X2, and I kinda just went with it. All I remember is closing my eyes the entire time. I also went on the Superman Krypton ride.

Excellent job on your comments. They are the best compared to other channels.

When I first went on scream I was so scared I closed my eyes the whole time after the drop

Scream is actually a pretty good ride due to the large vertical loop and the cobra roll. Plus the seats aren’t to uncomfortable

Just went on tatsu for the first time yesterday I'm 5'2 and only like 110 lbs. The moment of going straight down and then going on your back was the most intense moment I felt out of the whole day yesterday and I completely forgot I watched this video a year ago to prepare myself but tatsu was closed for a bit during the time.

I remember i rode x2 for the first time and i was 12 and so since i was small i kept on hitting my head in between the restraints the whole ride

8:17 X2 had to remind u 😂😂

I rode X2 and it felt like I was going to Heaven or was it Hell, it is So So Xtreme, Loved it, Hi guys is there a more extreme ride anywhere in USA as I'm a Rollercoaster Fanatic from England , I loved Montu at Busch Gardens Florida too 😎💯

Spot on brother

omg! so many roller coasters to choose from. i am not from america so i'm curious: does six flags magic mountain have a ride-all-you-can feature where i can ride all of those in a day and go back again? hahaha

I went on ghostrider and ACTUALLY GOT A ROUGH RIDE... felt good

I really like riddles and full throttle. The fast rides are awesome.

now i haven’t ridden either coaster in about 3+ years and definitely haven’t ridden the gci retrack but you are 100% correct in the fact that the overall pacing of apocalypse is great/much better than ghostrider and provides a more intense experience out of the gate, plus it suits the theming by focusing on speed and laterals. however as an orange county native, throughout my entire life riding ghost rider from my first ride in kindergarten to my most recent night ride during knotts scary farm, it murders apocalypse in the intensity in regards to airtime and headchoppers. i think they both offer different rides and when people think of top coasters people tend to think of flashy air time moments or drops rather than a whole experience start to finish. while i would agree apocalypse is overall a more intense ride ghost rider is a significantly more impactful and memorable ride. P.S. if you haven’t gotten the chance to ride ghostrider at night do it it’s absolutely insane

I got on X2 when it first opened (not opening day but that week) and the wait was 2hrs, it is the first and only roller coaster that has ever made me dizzy

I actually think Scream is an amazing B&M coaster!!

my first ever coaster was viper... my back hurt for like 2 weeks after my trip to six flags xD

What's the orgin story for calling SEFK Sunday the Ride? I'm newly subscribed and enjoying the videos btw!!

I love all these rides. One of my favs, and it's not a coaster, is Crazanity. Freaky as hell! Love Magic Mountain

I spent an entire day at six flags just as covid went down. We had short waits in line and we hit it off with Batman and we were rattled. We rallied and hit all the big ones. Then we did that big swing which I had the hardest time with. The anticipation of getting released down killed me! It was such a beautiful day and I had the best time.

Apocalypse breaks my neck every time I ride it

Hahaha his description of Goliath

Scream is amazing and comfy it's relaxing

x2 just made me get a minor concussion lmaoo

I agree. Scream is nuts

Outside of switching Goliath with Tatsuya and not riding wcr yet I agree with your list .

Riddlers first drop was intense asf lol

I damn near threw up on Riddler’s Revenge. No way is scream more intense than that

Man I was sitting far right in the back of batman and I didnt even feel the need to scream. It was just kinda chill for me 😅. Full throttle though. Full throttle got an actual scream of terror out of me (I was once again in the back so I got the full effects of the backwards launch. Loved it though, it was great)

I likened myself to a very hardcore enthusiast.... very few coasters with a level 10 intensity rating rattle me... having said that.... X-2 to this very day still gives me the shakes. i don't know what it is... that first drop? the first inversion? I've gone on it maybe a dozen times in my life, and it still scares the living crap out of me.

Yeah I'm 41 and revolution is a old coaster been there done that .. so I wouldn't put ot one the list since you can't compare it but love the rest of the video

After the third time on Goliath, I think I'm over it lmao. That drop seemed HORRIFYING but last week I realized I didn't get lifted out of my seat at all

oh man, i LOVE x2, but viper is so intense and not in a good adrenaline rush way, but more in like "i need advil for this migraine" way. hurts so much imo

7:31 has me dying xD

My first coaster ride at 6flags was Goliath. That first drop is no joke. Haha… never tried X2 yet. 😬
