Bragging rights: Classic meets modern at Magic Mountain’s ride, launched in 2015: New steel tracks were built on top of the wooden frame of the park’s beloved, 1978 Colossus coaster, creating a brand-new attraction. Two cars race alongside—and occasionally loop upside down and on top of—each other. The biggest thrill? Either the 116-foot drop or the “Top Gun Stall,” an inversion during which the train slows down while upside down. Whoa.
Maximum speed: 57 mph
How to go: Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, CA.
