Not a lot of love lost here, but Psyclone was a Dinn Corporation-built wooden roller coaster that operated at @SFMagicMountain from 1991 to 2006. Part of the "record breaking wooden coaster craze" of the 1990s, the coaster pushed riders to the limit, with up to 3.0 in G-forces in parts of the ride.

Her trains were designed by B&M, the only wooden roller coaster to ever receive trains from them.

This image is one of our favorites - Ninja at @SFMagicMountain is a gem to photograph no matter what year you happen to be photographing her.

Opened in 1988, Ninja is an Arrow Dynamics suspended coaster. She is one of only a handful of suspended roller coasters from Arrow that are still operational, and the only one remaining in the Six Flags chain.

@Richard_Littler <3 this book. Mann is incredible on music, spiritualism, recording media, disease and everything boiling up at the beginning of the 20th Century. I still need to read the Joseph books.

New Revolution at @SFMagicMountain is a 1976 Schwarzkopf looper that still packs almost 5Gs of force on riders through its vertical loop.

The coaster has gone through several name changes and restraint changes over the year - thankfully they're back to just a lap bar restraint in the trains as originally designed.

Six Flags Magic Mountain has some cool ornaments for Holiday in the Park. I picked up the x2 and several others.
