When I rode it the ride operator said before the launch, "Don't be nervous guys, I'll give you s countdown. 5," and then we launched. She completely messed with us
Shock4653 The airtime is weird. When you first hit the top hat, you get airtime, but when going over the top hat, you don’t get any, but while dropping off of it, you get airtime.
Agreed I wrote this in the back row like seven times in a row and got pretty extreme Air time every ride. Like I was out of my seat and moving forward. It actually scared me the first time was so unexpected
I think the only reason you don't get airtime on the top hat is because of how rounded it is... it isn't like most top hats in the fact that it is a constant curve rather than a sudden pull over...
There was so much potential, like look at the terrain around it. Full Throttle could have been Six Flags' Maverick , I honestly believe that . Unfortunately the company is just not seeing it , they're looking at the money instead of the customers. Oh well , i still love it and it is at my home park so whatever .
I only rode it once, and it was night, and guess what, they gave me front seat, how lovely. still one of my favourites still today, great loop, the first launch is really powerfull, its a pretty good launch, i have to problem with the lenght i think the 3 launches and the backwars part and the loop really make it a strong ride. i really didnt mind the stop, i mean come one 2 launches for a stop? heck yeah! and you do get airtime on the top hat, not on top, but when you exit it, just like you get airtime on drops like fury or something, you get airtime in the drop, but on FT just not on top. and the fun about the top hat, is that you can just get that really cool view (i mean its a very pretty park and you get such good views and the park has a really nice California charm). but you do get a quite nice view, it may not be very intense like you might have expected it, but it certainly is nice and relaxing, and then you go down with a bit of airtime. maybe you should not hate the parts that you don't like, i remember how you didn't like Superman EFC launch since its too long? i mean what? and you were angry you couldn't film the launch from the que? i mean superman is a nicely themed coaster with a great powerfull nice and long launch with great views. i dont get why a lot of times you can't enjoy a coaster anymore just because a few things are bad, i mean that you really complain about it.i have no problems with full throttle since the rest of the ride is just awesome, definately, Premier Rides masterpiece. i am looking forward to the riddlers revenge review since you haven't actually talked much about that ride, not on social media, nowwhere really, and i hope you liked it since its a really good coaster.
I absolutely love full throttle. I ask to ride in the back because there you actually do get a pop of air time coming down the top hat, just before the brakes. I also find the backwards launch to be quite fun. IMO row 7 gives the best ride by a long shot. You definitely dont get as much air time in rows 1-6 To be honest, my only gripe is the brakes at the end being so far up the final drop
Got my first ride in and was assigned row 7 and got ejected after the top hat and immediately slammed back in my seat when we hit the breaks. This coaster is so much fun.
the thing is, the supports are strategically placed based on where the force is going, so if you have hangtime on the loop, it could be dangerous to have airtime on top of it since the hangtime pulls the track down and airtime lifts the track up, these opposing forces could have unsafe, if not disastrous results.
I love this ride so much. The only reason why I have only been on it 3 times is because there is always a long line. Last time when I went, it was the luckiest moment. Me and my friend decided to go on this ride and we only waited 20 minutes. When we were waiting on the ride before the left turn to the station, the line was completely full, and it looked like a 2 hour wait.
3:44 Um?? Every single time my brother and I have been on this ride, we both fly off of our seats and into the lap-bar. One time, I swear I was going to come out and my jacket even flew over my head. We've always sat in the back cart, so it's weird you didn't experience it even once.
I give it a 5 considering I had to wait in line 1 hour and only got one ride, similar to what happened with Taylor and X2. The real score would probably be a 7. This was the coaster I rode in 2015 that let me complete my bucket list at the time, so it is special. But I'll only ride it again if the wait is 20 minutes or less. And from what I remember, this coaster doesn't even open when the park does. Most people run to TC, then come back here and the line is long. If this coaster does open with the park, then I'd probably tell people to go here first, or X2. If you go clockwise around the park, you can hit X2, Tatsu, Apocalypse, If you go counter clockwise, you can hit Full Throttle, TC, Goliath, Scream, Batman, Riddler's Revenge.
Fun fact I actually did get a rollback on this. I didn't expect much from this ride but it actually was a really fun in fact I think it was my favorite ride at Magic Mountain granted this was before Twisted Colossus. I will say your experience is a little different from mine in the back row I got some pretty extreme Air time going down the final drop. Not over the hill but when you were going down. Yes it was brief but I was legitimately out of my seat and I got it every single Back row ride.
I've only ever been on it at night in the back seat. Every single time I'm there that's how it plays out. It's fun though. I'd probably rank it just above Goliath and right behind Viper, Tatsu and TC. (I know right, Viper? Gasps! But I love it, it's a classic)
I live right next to magic mountain and I go every weekend so ive rode every ride about 40 times and this tatsu,x2,drp o doom, and twisted collosis are definitely my favorites this should be rated 9 because the only part I sondt like is how short it is
I always get airtime or ejector air every time I go over the top hat. That may be because I loosen the seat belt a little, since the ride was designed without them, but I am definitely out of my seat every time.
We got stuck in the launch tunnel for 15 minutes when I rode the thing. Go figure. Just a bunch of strobe lights for 15 minutes straight x_x On the plus side, it was dark when we got out and got to see L.A. when we went over the top hat.
This is a ride that I NEED to go on but can't because no $. I say I need to do it because the opening day was my birthday of freshman year in high school.
I guess I was lucky, then. When I rode this in August 2015 they weren't assigning rows (probably b/c the longest line that day was like 10 minutes for X2), but I also noticed that I didn't feel like we were gonna roll back on the loop. Could it be because the train was 90% empty everytime? Also what did you think of the smoothness? Congrats on 40k subs!
This was the first roller coaster I tried in the park thinking meh...😒🙄this isn’t gonna be too hard(It’s the first one and in front of the entrance)... then my lungs left my body. It’s awesome and powerful!!!🤣🤣🥴🥴
I don't know what you're talking about with there being no airtime on the top hat. Both times I've been on it (once back and once front), I feel like I'm getting thrown out of my seat on the back half of the top hat and I'm way heavier than you. But then again you also claimed there's no floater air on the bunny hill on Goliath, so...
"So there's not much [theming]" Pretty much par for the course with Six Flags TBH. It's pretty much expected for most Six Flags rides these days to have minimal to borderline nonexistent theming, even in the queue and station. LOL.
I honestly didn’t like Full Throttle that much. The launch and loop were both amazing, but it’s incredibly short, and there’s absolutely no airtime on the top hat.
For a ride that have lap bars On a roller caster with a big loop and yow don’t even get gforses on the loop To keep you in the train it feels like yow can fall out of the train
Hey Taylor. I'm from Germany. I really want to go to this amazing park when I visit the LA in August. But the entrance fee is extremely high with 80$ per day. So for to days 160$. Do you think the price is fair? It's way above the fees in Germany / Europe. I hope you will answer my questions. Fynn, Hamburg
When I rode it the ride operator said before the launch, "Don't be nervous guys, I'll give you s countdown. 5," and then we launched. She completely messed with us
they do that all the time. the people on superman tho are really nice
For us my first time the guy said “knock knock” and our train said “who’s there” he replied with “not you guys” then launched us
Ride operator: "when I say Ooh, you say aah....ooh"
Not as bad as the one right before mine, the guy said “I have some rules for you guys, rule one” and he launched it
@Keith Davis that’s what they did to us yesterday
No airtime??? I get insane ejector coming down that final drop in the back row!
Same here, I was on row 8 and I flew off the seat lol
Shock4653 The airtime is weird. When you first hit the top hat, you get airtime, but when going over the top hat, you don’t get any, but while dropping off of it, you get airtime.
Agreed I wrote this in the back row like seven times in a row and got pretty extreme Air time every ride. Like I was out of my seat and moving forward. It actually scared me the first time was so unexpected
Coaster Dog u are correct u get airtime before and after the top hat, but not on the hat itself.
Same! I sat in row 4. And I love the hangtime:
I think the only reason you don't get airtime on the top hat is because of how rounded it is... it isn't like most top hats in the fact that it is a constant curve rather than a sudden pull over...
CoasterFanForLife Right, thats what happens when you put a hill on a big ass loop
I got airtime on it a lot of I too
I guess the only way to have airtime on the loop is to make the speed of the second launch way faster.
i got a little air time in the back. however your con is also the loop, of not only being big but wide. Great hangtime, but little air
@@MrDrkNoir What a throw back 😂😂 Yeah I agree, I just went back on FT recently and I got some airtime on the drop
I got lots of airtime on the top hat😎
Carl Ihlemann By airtime you mean breeze
Rob's Rides No i ment it i seriously got lots of airtime.
Yeah honestly same here
Same
The airtime was awesome. Tho the brakes ruined it...
You do get air time at the end of the top hat and it is great. Plus the backward launch is necessary to give you a mix of air time and hang time.
I don't know why, but this coaster looks like it would be like so much fun. Not that thrilling or intense but just fun.
There was so much potential, like look at the terrain around it. Full Throttle could have been Six Flags' Maverick , I honestly believe that . Unfortunately the company is just not seeing it , they're looking at the money instead of the customers. Oh well , i still love it and it is at my home park so whatever .
It's a gimmick, after all...
This was the most comfortable and most fun ride at six flags MM. I loved it!! Definitely most fun
I only rode it once, and it was night, and guess what, they gave me front seat, how lovely. still one of my favourites still today, great loop, the first launch is really powerfull, its a pretty good launch, i have to problem with the lenght i think the 3 launches and the backwars part and the loop really make it a strong ride. i really didnt mind the stop, i mean come one 2 launches for a stop? heck yeah! and you do get airtime on the top hat, not on top, but when you exit it, just like you get airtime on drops like fury or something, you get airtime in the drop, but on FT just not on top. and the fun about the top hat, is that you can just get that really cool view (i mean its a very pretty park and you get such good views and the park has a really nice California charm). but you do get a quite nice view, it may not be very intense like you might have expected it, but it certainly is nice and relaxing, and then you go down with a bit of airtime. maybe you should not hate the parts that you don't like, i remember how you didn't like Superman EFC launch since its too long? i mean what? and you were angry you couldn't film the launch from the que? i mean superman is a nicely themed coaster with a great powerfull nice and long launch with great views. i dont get why a lot of times you can't enjoy a coaster anymore just because a few things are bad, i mean that you really complain about it.i have no problems with full throttle since the rest of the ride is just awesome, definately, Premier Rides masterpiece. i am looking forward to the riddlers revenge review since you haven't actually talked much about that ride, not on social media, nowwhere really, and i hope you liked it since its a really good coaster.
Congrats on 40,000! Thinking about a Tatsu review anytime soon?
8.5 😭
i remember seeing the ride op go like
“you guys want a countdown or surprise?”
“SURPRISE!”
“ok-“ *launches*
Went on this for the first time last Saturday. It spooked me because of the loss in gravity during the loop.
I absolutely love full throttle. I ask to ride in the back because there you actually do get a pop of air time coming down the top hat, just before the brakes. I also find the backwards launch to be quite fun.
IMO row 7 gives the best ride by a long shot. You definitely dont get as much air time in rows 1-6
To be honest, my only gripe is the brakes at the end being so far up the final drop
A couple of suggestions I have:
Wildcat, Hersheypark
Raptor, Cedar Point
Storm Runner, Hersheypark
(i'll think more about this list later)
Did you sit in row 6?
Nathan Parker, he said he sat in almost every row
Nathan Parker I got assigned there Lol
It was my first time SF MM ever and it was my first ride this day and in Germany we don’t have those crazy rides and I was sooooo... It was crazy :D
Wow, I thought you wouldn't like this so I was pleasantly surprised by your review!
2:34 eastern time congrats on the 40 K
40k Subscribers Congrats
Awesome review! And congrats on 40K subs! :)
Got my first ride in and was assigned row 7 and got ejected after the top hat and immediately slammed back in my seat when we hit the breaks. This coaster is so much fun.
Congrats on 40,000 subscribers! You deserve it :)
you should do an updated sfmm top ten

This was my first and only rollback, it was awesome.
40,000 ON THE DOT!!! CONGRATS!!!!🎉
I give it a 5 considering I had to wait in line 1 hour and only got one ride, similar to what happened with Taylor and X2. The real score would probably be a 7.

If you go clockwise around the park, you can hit X2, Tatsu, Apocalypse,
If you go counter clockwise, you can hit Full Throttle, TC, Goliath, Scream, Batman, Riddler's Revenge.
You didn't even explain why you don't like the ride
well done for getting 40k subs! Congrats

Review Tatsu! I agree with your review on this one.
Taylor congrats on hitting 40,000 subs!
Lol, one time I went on that ride, we actually did got a rollback. A lot the employees got in trouble with that
I live right next to magic mountain and I go every weekend so ive rode every ride about 40 times and this tatsu,x2,drp o doom, and twisted collosis are definitely my favorites this should be rated 9 because the only part I sondt like is how short it is
I always get airtime or ejector air every time I go over the top hat. That may be because I loosen the seat belt a little, since the ride was designed without them, but I am definitely out of my seat every time.
I ve Been in the front row and it was great
CONGRATS ON 40K
Doge Coasters Yes congrats to C.S.
Looks like a good ride!
We got stuck in the launch tunnel for 15 minutes when I rode the thing. Go figure. Just a bunch of strobe lights for 15 minutes straight x_x On the plus side, it was dark when we got out and got to see L.A. when we went over the top hat.
Magic mountain is my home six flags park and I 100% agree not enough airtime and I love roller coasters
Congrats on 40k subscribers
Congrats on 40,000
"A sparse live life on the edge theme" x'D
congratulations on 40k subscribers
I only rode it once and got stuck in the tunnel for 20 minutes which was awesome
You've got exactly 40000 subscribers atm :D
i got SUPER lucky 2 days ago and got front row! without even asking!
I actually almost got Row 6'ed on this ride. A little mix-up landed me in row 7
This is a ride that I NEED to go on but can't because no $. I say I need to do it because the opening day was my birthday of freshman year in high school.
I prefer riding in the back on this ride since you get to be higher up on the second launch when you go backwards
I guess I was lucky, then. When I rode this in August 2015 they weren't assigning rows (probably b/c the longest line that day was like 10 minutes for X2), but I also noticed that I didn't feel like we were gonna roll back on the loop. Could it be because the train was 90% empty everytime? Also what did you think of the smoothness? Congrats on 40k subs!
When I rode it when we got to the tophat, I felt like I was going to fall out of my seat but maybe that's because I'm smaller idk
Best thing about the backwards launch is that I didn’t know that it was coming.
congrats on 40k
This is a badass ride so thrilling!
happy 40k
Taylor: says feels like rollback
After he leaves there’s actually a rollback
no airtime on top hat? that's weird, I felt like I was gonna be thrown out on the second half of the top hat
This was the first roller coaster I tried in the park thinking meh...😒🙄this isn’t gonna be too hard(It’s the first one and in front of the entrance)... then my lungs left my body. It’s awesome and powerful!!!🤣🤣🥴🥴
Congrats on 40k
perfect score
Second best coaster at this park!😎🎢
Top 3? I would put TC, X2 and Tatsu as certain top 3. This coaster is hovering around my top 5 along with Batman, Riddler's Revenge and WCR.
I don't know what you're talking about with there being no airtime on the top hat. Both times I've been on it (once back and once front), I feel like I'm getting thrown out of my seat on the back half of the top hat and I'm way heavier than you. But then again you also claimed there's no floater air on the bunny hill on Goliath, so...
As of now in late 2016, the biggest vertical loop is featured in Ferrari Land's Flying Aces in Abu Dhabi. Go check it out, it's awesome.
Actually Flaying Aces has a non-inverted loop. That when you twist at the top loop before you come back down to the ground.
It's still technically a loop, but whatever XD
congrats on 40k subs!!!!
the backward launch is to help accelerate and get over the loop
Riding it this summer! The line was too long last year.
Well, it’s been 4 years, did you enjoy it?
Yeah I'd say otherwise about that last part, I definitely got tossed out on that part when I rode it for the first time, 2nd to last row
I got huge airtime on the back before the brake
I think you went on a bad day
I rode 2nd row and it was cool
"So there's not much [theming]" Pretty much par for the course with Six Flags TBH. It's pretty much expected for most Six Flags rides these days to have minimal to borderline nonexistent theming, even in the queue and station. LOL.
haven't seen the vid, I think Taylor's gonna give it a 6.89
Mamba review or any other rides at WOF?
(if you don't make one then what would you rate it?)
Breh I rid this yesterday sat in secound row from front and that was the gnarest airtime I have ever had
I loved this one :)
0:12 she was like I am gonna die
If you were to add an element or additional layout to full throttle, what would it be and where would it go?
I only rode it once, but I got to ride it in the back.
Are you kidding, there's MAJOR airtime during the top hat leading into the breaks!
I honestly didn’t like Full Throttle that much. The launch and loop were both amazing, but it’s incredibly short, and there’s absolutely no airtime on the top hat.
Can you do one park battle? It's between Six Flags Discovery Kingdom vs Six Flags New England.
Coaster Box Oooh, I've only been to NE, but DK sounds like a solid park as well.
I thank they both have a fair amount of coasters
I do get a bunch of airtime going down the drop before being forced forward.
I rode this two days ago in the fourth row and I hit the seat belt hard on that top hat. So, I don't know.
For a ride that have lap bars
On a roller caster with a big loop and yow don’t even get gforses on the loop
To keep you in the train it feels like yow can fall out of the train
you have 40,000 subs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking at it on Google Maps right now and they could have made it so much longer if they had wanted.
6 subs away from 40k!!!!! It is happening!!!
kbriggs730 YEA!!!!!
you have 40000 subs right now on the dot do a review of tatsu
I do remember getting quite a lot of airtime
Viper review please @coaster studios
I got airtime on top of the loop, and almost felt like I was going to fly out of my seat....
Actually the top hat always gives my dad and I airtime
Cool :-)
40,000 SUBSCRIBERS!?!!?
XBCPG Geesh! Give this man a standing ovation
Word of the video: Legit
Is coaster is pretty much the first half of a great coaster. It's too bad they didn't have the space.
Hey Taylor. I'm from Germany. I really want to go to this amazing park when I visit the LA in August. But the entrance fee is extremely high with 80$ per day. So for to days 160$. Do you think the price is fair? It's way above the fees in Germany / Europe. I hope you will answer my questions.
Fynn, Hamburg
Auf dem Laufenden if you buy tickets in advance you can get the price down to $55
It's one of the cheapest parks. Universal is $129/day.
It looks like a modern day Revolution.
