Ninja is a suspended roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, in the Samurai Summit area. It was built by Arrow Dynamics and opened on May 21, 1988.
Riders sit in cars that hang below the track and swing from side to side as the train runs through spirals and tight turns; the park calls it the Black Belt of Roller Coasters. The coaster is 60 feet tall with a chain lift, has 2,700 feet of track and reaches 55 mph. It has no inversions, and a ride lasts about 90 seconds.
Ninja runs up to three trains of seven cars, each carrying 28 riders, two across in two rows, and RCDB lists a capacity of 1,600 riders per hour. The park lists a minimum rider height of 42 inches.
