West Coast Racers, the world's first single-track quadruple launch racing coaster, is now open at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
This one-of-a-kind racing coaster features two side-by-side tracks with four individual high-speed launches. The 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.
Park President, Neal Thurman, Park President, Six Flags Magic Mountain:
“We are thrilled to add yet another unique, record-breaking coaster to our second-to-none collection of world-class attractions. West Coast Racers absolutely delivers, living up to Six Flags Magic Mountain’s unprecedented thrill DNA. With a broad appeal, this coaster is the centerpiece of the newly themed area, The Underground, featuring new dining and retail opportunities.”
Ryan Friedlinghaus, Founder and CEO, West Coast Customs:
“We are thrilled to partner with Six Flags Magic Mountain to create this unprecedented new ride. Throughout my career, I have always thought outside of the box and I love being challenged to build things others can't. It was amazing to be part of every aspect of West Coast Racers, from designing the coaster cars, to the overall look and feel of the entire ride. Six Flags Magic Mountain allowed us to be completely hands-on. This truly is an authentic West Coast Customs experience from the moment you get in line for the ride until you get off."
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 wooden coaster, Apocalypse, and soon-to-open refurbished go karts, Pacific Speedway.
