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.
Before Revolution there were tubular steel coasters.
