Riddler's Revenge Six Flags Magic Mountain California

Here's a riddle: which roller coaster is worth standing up for?

The Riddler's Revenge, of course.

It's a blazing-fast coaster with a twist: you'll stand, not sit, as you race at 65 mph head-over-heels six times over nearly one mile of twisting, looping, inverted steel track—for nearly three minutes.

~ 30-degree vertical loop

~ 360-degree oblique loop

~ Two over-the-top diving loops

~ 150-foot-long barrel rolls

Riddle me this: What is the world's tallest, longest,
most twisted stand-up steel coaster, features over 4,300 feet of green track
and makes its home at Six Flags Magic Mountain?
That's right - Riddler's Revenge at Six Flags Magic
Mountain in Valencia, California debuted on April 4th, 1998 as the most
record-breaking stand-up ride the world had ever seen. Coiling through six
inversions and four types of inversions during the two-minute-long ride,
Riddler's Revenge is a record-breaking coaster and a whole lot more. Six Flags
Magic Mountain has always been known for outdoing themselves from year to year,
and 1998 was certainly not a year for the park to break tradition. The Riddler
dominates over Magic Mountain's Gotham City section and reduces the adjacent
1994 Bolliger and Mabillard-crafted inverted looper Batman: the Ride to a mere
technological breakthrough of the early 1990s. Coming
from B&M as well, Riddler's Revenge is the Swiss designers' latest stanup
multi-looping, multi-inversion masterpiece, with an inversion lineup of one
Vertical Loop, one Inclined Loop, two Diving Loops and two Corkscrews, with
1,180 degrees of other non-inverting curvature contained in the course.


One of the Riddler's three trains are boarded, riders pulling down
over-the-shoulder restraints in the stand-up position, then it's out of the
station and around a right-hand curve to the lift. In route to the top, the
lift-hill crosses first through the center of a Dive Loop then through a
Vertical Loop. Once the 156-foot heights are achieved, it becomes apparent that
the Riddler has had his revenge on Batman, as Batman: the Ride below cowers down
in front. Without lingering for too long, Riddler's Revenge begins its first
twisting descent and then blasts up into the first lift-encircling loop. Next is
a first Diving Loop to send passengers twisting up and diving down in the
opposite direction and right into a second Dive Loop, this time twisting
around the lift. The fourth consecutive inversion comes with an Inclined
Loop sending the train around and up to the left at a 45-degree angle. A
quick hop leads the ride to an upwards spiral onto mid-course block brakes,
but Riddler's Revenge gets going again with a head-over-heels Corkscrew flip
into a banked curve to the left. Ascending a rabbit hop, the green track
heads into a Carousel Cuve under the lift hill and through a final Corkscrew
before the ride concludes with a 180-degree curve onto the brakes.
