A launched roller coaster with 2 forward launches and one backwards launch. Full Throttle has a 160 foot (49 m) vertical loop and the first ever "top hat" constructed on an inversion. It is also the world's fastest vertical looping coaster.
Full Throttle is a launched roller coaster located in Six Flags Plaza at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Designed and manufactured by Premier Rides, the ride opened to the public on June 22, 2013. It featured the world's tallest vertical loop of 160 feet (49 m) when it opened, a record that was surpassed in 2016 by Flash at Lewa Adventure in Xianyang, China. Its “top hat” element is also unique in the way it is situated on top of a vertical loop. It is the only roller coaster to have track on the bottom and top of a vertical loop.

The first looping coaster in the world! Riders careen through steep banking turns and spirals in and out of the treetops.
Swinging coaches suspended from an overhead steel track whip around steeply banked turns and curves in and out of the treetops.
Suspended beneath a steel track, riders experience a total of 263 feet in elevation changes while harnessed in a "face down" position.
Riders traverse six upside-down turns on 4,370 feet (1,330 m) of steel track while in a standing position.
Riders dip, turn, and dive up and around the park's mountainous terrain.
Riders accelerate in reverse from 0 to 104 mph (167 km/h) in seven seconds and climb nearly 41 stories into the air. Known in the past as "Superman: The Escape" (1997–2010).
