The New Revolution, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, California, US

The Great American Revolution is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, built by Anton Schwarzkopf to a Werner Stengel design. Its white lattice track, carried on white columns with diagonal cross-bracing, climbs a lift hill and drops into a clothoid-shaped vertical loop, the first of its kind in the industry. Trains have silver sides with red, white and blue seating.

The ride opened in 1976 under the name Great American Revolution and was one of the first modern coasters in the world to feature a vertical loop. The name was later changed, but the original layout has remained largely the same.

The coaster was named for the American Revolution to mark the country's 1976 Bicentennial, and the opening crew wore Continental Army-style uniforms. In 1979, after Six Flags bought the park, it was renamed La Revolución for the Mexican Revolution, then Revolution in 1988. A Coaster Landmark plaque from American Coaster Enthusiasts stands near the line queue.

Each train carries 20 riders split into five cars, each with two rows of two seats. The chain lift is visible from the ground, so visitors can watch the ride in action before joining the line.

The ride's vertical loop is a clothoid curve, a shape never before used on a coaster loop and a first in the industry. The track was repainted white and blue for the 2016 refurbishment, and each lead car carries a silver eagle ornament on its front. A Coaster Landmark plaque from American Coaster Enthusiasts stands near the line queue, placed there in June 2002.
