Apocalypse is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, in the park's The Underground area. It was built by Great Coasters International and designed by Jeff Pike.
History
The coaster opened on May 23, 2009 as Terminator Salvation: The Ride and has carried the Apocalypse name since 2011. RCDB lists its cost as $10 million.
The ride has a 95-foot chain lift hill and an 87-foot drop, reaches about 50 mph and has no inversions. The park gives the track length as 2,850 feet, and a ride lasts about three minutes. The theme is a post-apocalyptic desert: riders pass through a bunker and a security checkpoint before boarding, and the train runs through sharp turns, drops and tunnels, including a pass through the station. Each of the two trains has 11 cars seating two riders side by side. The park lists a minimum rider height of 48 inches.
