Scream- Ride out Loud, one of Six Flags Magic Mountain's many signature coasters, is among the best of its breed -- a floorless coaster with some serious attitude. It's remarkably smooth, loaded with airtime, and has plenty of surprises to warrant its name.
 
    After passengers get on the coaster, Scream's loading platform disappears beneath them, leave riders' floorless feet dangling. It's quite a sight to see 64 feet tentatively kicking the air. With a dramatic flourish, a gate swings open, and the train leaves the area to ascend the lift hill.

    As the coaster goes through its trail, its open-air design gives you an incredible sense of freedom. In addition to the look-Ma-no-hands pose coaster junkies love to strike as they soar through the air, Scream also inspires riders to extend their legs and take in the whole experience. (Over-the-shoulder harnesses keep everyone snug and secure.)

    Screams elements are are an initial 128-foor vertical loop, a heartline spin, and a dive loop. Perhaps the most striking feature of Scream is its 78-foot cobra roll. It both flips riders over and delivers some healthy doses of delirious airtime. From the ground, the maneuvers look insane as exposed daredevils, their limbs flailing, get tossed unmercifully this way and that. But aboard Scream, the ride is surprisingly smooth and a real treat.

    At the far end of the park, Scream's landscaping and themeing are almost non-existent. The mountains just beyond the park provide beautiful vistas, but the immediate area around the coaster includes a bone yard of coaster seats and parts. Still, if you go to Six Flags Magic Mountain to scream--and let's face it, who doesn't?--you'll want to head over to Scream and let your hollers reverberate through the hills and valleys.
