RevolutionRoller coasterMinimum height to ride: 48 inches About RevolutionWhen you enter Magic Mountain, this will be the closest coaster to you, so you might want to ride it if it's your first time. It features hills, drops, turns, and one vertical loop. This was actually the first roller coaster in the world to have a vertical loop. Most of the track is hidden in the trees, so you can't really make out what's going on unless you're on the ride. The OSTR's make the ride a little bumpy, and the wait is usually around 30 minutes.

Readers' Opinions
Revolution is a classic. It may be old, but thats not the problem, its the OTSRs!!! If they took those out the ride would be more enjoyable. the loop is also great. I also think its like a smaller version of CALIFORNNIA SCREAMIN! 8/10... - Mateo sams Revolution is a good ride for beginners. it only has one loop. but it is rough. Your head might hurt a little after its over. Overall its a pretty good ride. - Timothy Berg Pretty good ride! Something for a first time coaster rider to start off with! - I.Am McLovin Everyone's gotta start somewhere...and this coaster is a clear reminder of that. Not only did it begin the insane coaster crazy we have come to see as 'average' coaster settings, but it's served as a prime beginner loop ride for countless amount of friends and family members, myself included. Not the most thrilling, but ridable if you've never been on a loop ride in your life! - Steph Ramos very boring ride good only if there is 5 minute wait or less or good for first time rollar coaster riders 3/10 - Michael Brunson This ride is one of my favorites. - Sarah Meeks It was my first looping coaster. It looks SO freaky if you haven't been on a "real" coaster, but Revolution started my love of roller coasters. a piece of history and art! - Corey Nelson The ride was fun, though it can get jerky. I slammed my ears against the headrests several times. - John Quinteros 7/10 I have good memories from this ride. It made my friend Lane throw up, my friend Chase laugh (at Lane throwing up), and it made me love loops. - Jack Borgeson Its the perfect first looping roller coaster for anyone! - Sam Collier A good warm up coaster for all the other coasters in the park. - Erik Cobbs This is a great ride even though its not that exciting, its really fun, (but sit in the front, thats the best seat) - Geordie Bain This coaster is a classic, this is the first loop rollar coaster! Though it is a little bumpy, you should still consider riding this delectable coaster! - Meghan Apple
