Full Throttle is a launched roller coaster located in Six Flags Plaza at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Designed and manufactured by Premier Rides, the ride opened to the public on June 22, 2013.[1] It featured the world's tallest vertical loop of 160 ft when it opened, a record that was surpassed in 2016 by Flash at Lewa Adventure in Xianyang, China.[2] Its “top hat” element is also unique in the way it is situated on top of a vertical loop. It is the only roller coaster to have track on the bottom and top of a vertical loop.
History
