The Great American Revolution Rollercoaster - American Coaster Enthusiasts Coaster Con 42 at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California

With the complete overhaul came brand new trains for The Revolution.

Six Flags Magic Mountain; taking the blueprints from the original trains, built two new trains from the ground up removing the painful over the shoulder harnesses from the restraint system.  To keep idiots from being able to stand up a shin guard was added to the redesigned lap bar and The Revolution was born again.  Technically it was rechristened "The New Revolution" as this was one of the coasters that Six Flags added virtual reality to.  VR didn't match the awesomeness of the actual reality of speeding through the hilly and wooded side of the mountain so thankfully Six Flags removed it.  Now the once Great American Revolution is just "The Classic Revolution".

Towering above Revolution is Tatsu and if you are lucky enough you'll catch a nice shot of both of them going at the same time.

Getting back to the point I made a couple of pages ago that this ride was was revolutionary.  This is what makes it so.
