Six Flags Magic Mountain, the undisputed “Thrill Capital of the World,” today debuted the latest addition to its unparalleled coaster dynasty—West Coast Racers, the world’s first single track quadruple racing coaster.
Unlike traditional coasters, this one-of-a-kind racing coaster features two side-by-side tracks with four individual high-speed launches. The immersive journey on the unique terrain-hugging track has riders sitting two abreast while racing head to head with the other cars on the twin-track. The ride experience includes two complete laps, multiple airtime hills, extreme high-banked turns and exhilarating over/under near misses.
In an unprecedented move, Six Flags Magic Mountain brought two world-famous brands together in partnering with Burbank-based West Coast Customs. Utilizing their unparalleled craftsmanship and expertise in designing and building one-of-a-kind car customizations, they created and built the sleek coaster cars for West Coast Racers. Additionally, a unique “pit stop” experience, narrated by West Coast Customs Founder and CEO, Ryan Friedlinghaus, occurs between the two laps and provides riders an inside look into the West Coast Customs shop.
West Coast Racers is located in the new LA centric urban-themed area, The Underground, where guests experience a high-energy street vibe along with new dining and retail locations, including Twin Charged Tacos, Chicken Coupe, Snack Trax, Speed Shop and Six Gear. The area also includes the park’s popular wooden coaster, Apocalypse, and soon-to-open refurbished go-karts, Pacific Speedway.
Ride features include:
- A record-breaking four magnetic launches, including a side-by-side first and second race launch;
- Four total inversions, including three zero G rolls and a zero G stall;
- 14 track crossovers and a high-five (where riders can almost high-five guests riding the opposing train), for a total of 30 train interactions (15 per lap);
- Side-by-side airtime hills and overbanked turns; and
- Speeds up to 55 miles-per-hour as riders cross the finish line.
