What riders love
  • The launch into the loop is always quite a gut punch and never gets old, nor does the hangtime.
  • Not the craziest launch out there, certainly compared to hydraulic launches, but the fact that you get three of them makes up for that.
  • I love how the operators trick you for when they launch.
  • You just float there for what feels like forever before diving back down.
  • The hangtime on the loop always feels like you just aren't going to make it through it.
  • A night ride on this is amazing. You get a great upside down view of the Santa Clarita skyline.
  • I was going in completely blind, and it caught me super off guard that it went backwards. I LOVED THAT.
  • I loved this one despite it's simplicity, and that unhinged laugh sound it plays as you're launched backwards is a beautiful touch.
  • The backward launch gets me every time!

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags Magic Mountain

The third launch while you are moving sends you back over the outside of the vertical loop and the ejector airtime coming down over the loop is insane.

Jeremy Niswonger

Full Throttle provides a fantastically smooth ride, with decent launches and some great airtime.

Theme Park James

The second launch is still very nice, and I got some decent airtime on the top hat that got KILLED by those trims.

tate nortman

That being said the ride packs a lot of punch in that short duration and once you go over the loop you experience some ejector

ZTS squish

The launch and loop were both amazing, but it’s incredibly short, and there’s absolutely no airtime on the top hat.

@emmywillow6599

The hang time was fun and overall it was a nice smooth ride, I just didnt really get much of out the short-forceless layout

Lettuce

It was very smooth, even though after the loop the turn makes the train vibrate just a bit, but wasn’t rough.

Niko Ramos

This coaster is also smooth just a bit short

Sooooooo smooth -- I feel like I’m flying!

Soccer Camp Reviews

Those brakes at the bottom of the last drop are such a vibe killer, turns a great finale into an unexpectedly painful and anticlimactic finish.

Joshua Hart

I have a preference for short and sweet rides that pack in a lot of intensity, and this fits the bill perfectly.

Marshall Bradley

The death roll (I really don’t know what to call that inversion so that’s the best I got) was really intense.

tate nortman

One of my favorites for sure, Full Throttle taps into every category of intensity that make the ride enjoyable.

Ethan Finn

I was not ready for the backward launch at the mid-point which added a nice extra degree of intensity.

Sean Reardon

Barely any force, train design absolutely sucks and the sensation of braking on the drop is way worse than I could ever have imagined.

Flurin S.

The mach launchers where not intense by any means, despite how scary it might look.

Lettuce

I was able to get a front row ride on this, and you could really feel the speed.

Jamie Newton

It’s cool that you get to go back on top of the loop, but ridiculous that all that speed and momentum gets wasted on a hill with no airtime.

Elijah Bacelieri

Full Throttle is a very cool creation by Premier Rides with a killer vertical loop however the premier rides trains and the obnoxious trim on the drop really hold this back

David F.

Too bad its quite short, and the combo of poor capacity and being located close to the park entrance make for grueling wait-times.

Panthrpants

Well I waited unexpectedly 2 hours for this ride.

Loved this! I have a preference for short and sweet rides that pack in a lot of intensity, and this fits the bill perfectly.

Marshall Bradley, Captain Coaster review

Obviously I was not expecting much from this but its just kind of pointless.

Flurin S., Captain Coaster review

Everything else is fun, but kind of feels like filler compared to that loop out of the gate.

John Montague, Captain Coaster review

Incredible loop (although I wish it wasn’t the FIRST element you launch into.) Absolutely incredible surprise by the pause and backwards launch.

Kelley M, Captain Coaster review

Full Throttle provides a fantastically smooth ride, with decent launches and some great airtime.

Theme Park James, published review

Overall great ride, but a liiiiiiitle short(but not by much).

Alexia Englund, Captain Coaster review
