About Revolution

★ First modern roller coaster with a full vertical loop (1976)

Revolution is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, USA, open since 1976. The ride stands 85 feet tall, drops 65 feet and reaches 55 mph over 3,457 feet of track, with 1 inversion.

Revolution reintroduced the vertical loop to American amusement parks after a decades-long absence, kicking off the modern looping-coaster era that led directly to today's inverting giants.

Field note: its loop appears briefly in the 1978 film 'National Lampoon's Vacation.'
