The loop features a signature 'top-hat' element where the train travels over the top of the loop structure.
The ride utilizes a high-speed LSM (Linear Synchronous Motor) launch system instead of a traditional chain lift hill.
The entire track is approximately 2,200 feet long despite the intense focus on its looping elements.
Full Throttle was built on the former site of the Log Jammer water flume ride.
The coaster features a total of three distinct launches throughout the cycle.
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.
