The Ninja Roller Coaster at American Coaster Enthusiasts Coaster Con 42 at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California

The speed and swinging on Ninja is so much fun I couldn't get enough.

Turning the track upside down in the 1980's really literally flipped everything over.  Ninja's design also switches what one would expect with a coaster around by having a small lift at the beginning of the ride and a long one at the end as it is needed to get the train back to the top of the summit where Ninja's station is.

With Ninja speeding a few feet above the ground for most of the ride and past support pylon after pylon it feels faster than the rides maximum fifty-five miles an hour.

Ninja was so much fun it became one of my go to coasters during Six Flags Magic Mountain's open hours.

With little to no wait and such a fun ride it was so easy to just stay on Ninja for lap after lap.  I tried to keep track but somewhere on day two with well over forty laps on Ninja I gave up and just sat back, stopped thinking and enjoyed this wonderful ride.
