![]() ![]() I'd put Green Lantern in my top 5 Magic Mountain roller coasters, somewhere between the flying Tatsu and the wooden twister Apocalypse. that I called the " most anticipated roller coaster of the summer," is the perfect addition to Magic Mountain's record-setting arsenal of now 18 coasters, the most of any amusement park. Green Lantern, a first-of-its-kind ride in the U.S. The thematic overhaul of the land also changes the names of the undulating Himalaya-style ride to Flash: Speed Force and the tilting roundup ride to Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth. ![]() Magic Mountain has done a beautiful job of adding a graphic-intensive, comic book theme to the redubbed DC Universe with oversized superhero marquees, including a 25-foot-tall Green Lantern cutout character. Eventually, the rocking and spinning Green Lantern cars will be allowed to rotate more freely after the initial test-and-adjust phase, adding an extra layer of intimidation to an already exciting ride in the coming weeks. While X2 remains more extreme, Green Lantern definitely delivers on the thrills. But there was nothing kind and gentle about Green Lantern. I expected Green Lantern to be a kinder and gentler version of its older, fourth-dimension cousin, X2. Built vertically on a tight footprint, the towering serpentine track shuddered as each of the eight-person cars cycled through the head-over-heels spinning ride. The forward-facing seats deliver a multiple G-force karate kick, usually accompanied by a guttural "Ughhh!" I preferred the backward-facing seats, which offered a better perspective of the upcoming flips, freefall drops and head-chopper near misses.
