Scream is a floorless roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, in the park's Screampunk District. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, it opened on April 12, 2003. Riders sit four across in trains with no floor, so their legs hang free.

After a 150-foot lift, the train drops 141 feet and goes through seven inversions: a vertical loop, a dive loop, a zero-g roll, a cobra roll, which turns riders over twice, and a pair of interlocking corkscrews. Top speed is 63 mph, the track is 3,985 feet long, and a ride lasts about three minutes. RCDB lists it as a mirror image of B&M's Medusa floorless design.

Three trains of eight cars each carry 32 riders, and RCDB gives a capacity of 1,440 riders per hour. The park lists a minimum rider height of 54 inches.
