Six Flags Magic Mountain | first-of-its-kind (in North America) coaster | 2026

Oh for sure I'm just playing devil's advocate

Riddler for me is an interesting one as it was partly built as a nostalgia thing for shockwave which had closed 10 years earlier. It's also easily the best of it's kind. It's probably the one ride they have that is the best of it's kind (Tatsu is up there but falls behind sky ripper for me)

Ok yes the model as whole basically died a death but it was one hell of an exit note.

And it's all relative. I would kill to have almost any single one of SFMMs coaster in a park in the UK. Put Batman, Riddler, Colossus and Goliath in a new UK park and it's probably the best lineup in the country

Also that name just doesn't fit with a cycle.

Could be themed to a cyclotron.

I assume you don't mean this kind of cyclotron? A particle accelerator. Would be an interesting choice but almost fits for a launch coaster.



Although in terms of raw aesthetic it fits with SFMMs general vibe these days.

I do mean that kind of cyclotron. Apparently Six Flags filed a copyright for the name Quantum Accelerator.

i dont think a new coaster could fit inside a parcel

Per a new Six Flags release it seems like this is officially 2026, to no surprise. Construction site has been kinda frozen for awhile now. The wording however is interesting;

• Six Flags Magic Mountain will debut a first-of-its-kind coaster in North America
