Six Flags Magic Mountain has revealed plans for a new hybrid coaster called Thrill Glider, scheduled to open in 2027. This innovative ride will feature motorbike-style hovercycles combined with a traditional suspended track, offering speeds up to 50 mph and including inversions like a zero-g roll. The attraction is designed by Vekoma and will hold the record for the world’s longest Thrillglider at 3,380 feet. Despite its thrilling features, the coaster has a low height requirement of just 48 inches, making it accessible to younger riders. The queue experience includes an immersive storyline set at a fictional technology company headquarters with holographic displays. Park president Brian Oerding described the project as a significant milestone in the park’s ongoing renaissance and innovation efforts.
