The New Revolution, a History at Six Flags Magic Mountain - Celebrating 50 Years

May 14, 2026
On May 8, 1976, Six Flags Magic Mountain made history by opening The Great American Revolution—the world’s very first modern vertical looping roller coaster. Designed by legendary engineer Anton Schwarzkopf, this steel terrain coaster successfully mastered a 360-degree inversion using a revolutionary teardrop shape. It single-handedly sparked the modern coaster arms race. It will knock your socks off! VISIT OUR WEBSITE: http://attractionsmagazine.com SOCIAL MEDIA!
