Gold RusherRoller coasterMinimum height to ride: 48 inches About Gold RusherThemed to a runaway mine train, this was Magic Mountain's first coaster. It is a great ride for people who are afraid of the big rides, because this proves that big things come in small packages. If you sit in the back, A LOT of airtime in some portions of the ride, and you go really fast. The front offers a much calmer experience. -- Last edited by Vahe Arevshatian [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Gold RusherSafety
Readers' Opinions
Its pretty good for being made in 1969. Its fast, lasts a while, and has one of the best Helixes ive ever been on, it also fits into its enviornment. Best at night cause you cant see anything because theres no lites and your surrounded by trees. The ride itself is fun, but not thrilling, but as I said its better at night... 6/10... - Mateo sams very simple ride but still retty fun 5/10 - Michael Brunson Fun, but not thrilling. My mom absolutely loves this ride. Hilarious! - Sarah Meeks You know, a decent mine ride, best part is the helix. only a must ride if its your first time to SFMM, or if you need another coaster count, otherwise dont waste your time when you could be on TATSU!!! - Corey Nelson The coaster is a lot better at night, when everything is dark. If there is a line of more than 10 minutes, don't bother. Otherwise, jump on it! - John Quinteros 7/10 This ride's story is that you're in a runaway gold mining car. My friend Ian doesn't like coasters but I persuaded him to go on this one. He liked, we went on it twice and we agreed that this was his first and last roller coaster of the day. My friend Riley had a conversation with his friend on it, like they were in a taxi or something. It gave my dad whiplash. I love it as a classic. - Jack Borgeson It felt so much faster the second time I rode it. A great family ride. - Sam C This ride still is pretty fun. It is old. It is not overly smooth, but that makes it fun. It uses the terrain pretty nice. It is worth riding if needing a break from the intensity, but don't want to be on the carousel. - Guido Climer This kid-friendly ride doesn't appeal to the older crowd but, is a fast, fun and great coaster. It is an outstanding coaster, if you consider that it is Magic Moutain's first ever rollar coaster!!! This ride deserves a 8/10 - Meghan Apple Nice ride with a long helix. - David White give it a break one of the first rides in the park - Jason Kelly HAHA! this looks so lame but it is really fast and whips you around.....if theres a line dont bother...but if there isnt...GO ON IT! - Faith Martin
