Gold RusherGolden Thrills on a California Classic

Gold Rusher
Travel back to the days of the California gold rush as you weave your way through the treacherous hills of the frontier. Gold Rusher was the very first roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and this rip roarin’ ride is as fun today for the whole family as it was the day it opened.
Climb into an old mining cart and prepare to head deep into the mines. Following a 70 foot lift, you and your mining buddies will plummet down the tracks of snaking turns— flying through unexplored territory in your runaway mine car.
Next, this classic family-friendly roller coaster hugs the hills like a pro. And just when you think you’re back to ground level, the track opens up to a flow of slopes and falls. It all builds to a 540° spiral corkscrew drop that’ll leave you breathless, yet thirsty for more. Just like life on the frontier.
