Full Throttle, Steel launched roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, United States
Full Throttle is a launched steel coaster in Six Flags Plaza at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Its white three-rail track runs 671 metres, supported by black columns, and reaches 49 metres at the top hat mounted on the outside of the vertical loop. Two trains of three cars each seat 18 riders, held by lap bars.
Premier Rides built this coaster in 2013 on the site of a former water ride. The construction introduced what was then the tallest vertical loop in the world to the park.
The ride takes its name from the throttle mechanism found in racing vehicles, fitting its motorsport-inspired theme. Guests can watch trains rush through the loops while waiting in the queue area or preparing for their own turn.
The queue can be long because the ride handles only 800 riders per hour, so plan around peak times. The station is covered for shade, and the exit leads into a plaza with a dining area, gift shop and a stage used for dance parties.
The track section with the top hat sits directly above the vertical loop, forming a stacked loop structure. This arrangement stands among the rarer solutions in worldwide coaster design.
