Apocalypse

Apocalypse is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. The track measures 2,877 feet and reaches speeds around 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour), with an 87-foot (26-meter) drop and several tight turns that create quick changes in direction.

The coaster opened its gates in 2009 under the name Terminator Salvation: The Ride, but kept that title for only two years. It then received the new name Apocalypse and a different thematic setting that continues today.

The ride tells a story about a world after a war, and as you wait in line or stand in the loading area, you see light effects and set pieces that show this theme. Background music and sounds add to the dark mood that runs through the entire experience.

Visitors need to be at least 48 inches (122 centimeters) tall to ride. The park offers options that can shorten waiting time, especially when crowds are large.

This wooden roller coaster was the first of its kind worldwide to have speakers built into each car. During the ride, passengers hear sounds and music that match the story and strengthen the impression.
