Revolution is not your standard compact Schwarzkopf looping coaster. This is sprawled out across quite a bit of Magic Mountains territory, and being set deep amongst the trees adds more to the far removed feel while riding. There are four drops during the ride, none of them huge, but all pretty fun. There is a tunnel and a spiral, and of course the worlds first 360-degree vertical loop on a steel coaster. Its funny today that there is such a long straight-away before the loop, but I guess, what with this being the precedent-setter, they had to make sure the train made it through the loop. And this is a perfect circular vertical loop, as opposed to the more teardrop-shaped verticals we see today. Revolution has been tampered with a bit of late, adding over-the-shoulder restraints, along with the lap bars, and there are a lot of trim brakes throughout, but this remains a Magic Mountain classic that should not be missed.
