Overview

Full Throttle is a record-breaking steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Magic Mountain that utilizes a magnetic launch system to propel riders to 70 mph. The ride features the world's tallest looping element at 160 feet. It is unique for its triple-launch design, which includes both forward and backward movements through the loop. Riders experience a high-speed turnaround and a top-hat element integrated into the track layout. The coaster was manufactured by Premier Rides and opened to the public in 2013.

Insider tips

Sit in the very back row for a more intense experience during the backward launch segment.

Visit early in the morning to beat the queues, as this ride is a high-capacity bottleneck in the park.

Remove all loose items from pockets before entering the queue, as loose article policies are strictly enforced.

What to avoid

Avoid rushing to this ride first if you have a flash pass, as wait times stabilize mid-day.

Good to know

Operates year-round, though subject to closures during extreme weather or annual maintenance cycles.

Etiquette
