Each year, Theme parks around the world build new rides to please the crowd pleased. What used to be the Theme Park Capital, with the title now taken by Six Flags: Magic Mountain, has revealed a new roller coaster for 2013: Gatekeeper! This record breaking coaster is a winged coaster, in which the seats are not on top of the track, they stick out from the side. With nothing above or under the guests, it leaves them most vulnerable. It will be the tallest and longest winged roller coaster, and will have the highest inversion in the world at a record-breaking 52m tall. With 6 inversions and reaching speeds of km/h, this will really please the guests. Unfortunately, 2 rides will be taken down in order for this new ride to be built, the indoor bobsled roller coaster Disaster Transport, and the Space Spiral.
Full Throttle
One of the most anticipated roller coaster of the year, Six Flags; Magic Mountain will open Full Throttle in 2013. This roller coaster will also break records, including the tallest vertical loop being 49m tall, the world's first backwards launch, and the world's first ever top hat, going over the loop. With 2 inversions and reaching speeds of 110km/h, this is will bring a new level of thrill to Theme Park rides.

And last highly anticipated roller coaster for 2013 is Iron Rattler, at Six Flags: Fiesta Texas.
