The New Revolution (formerly known as Revolution, Great American Revolution and La Revolución) is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf and designed by Werner Stengel, the roller coaster opened to the public on May 8, 1976. The New Revolution is the world's first modern roller coaster to feature a vertical loop and has been recognized for that accomplishment by American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE), who awarded the roller coaster its Coaster Landmark status. However, there were earlier examples of roller coasters with a full vertical loop, such as the steel roller coaster called "Looping the Loop" in Parque Japonés in Buenos Aires, which operated from 1911 to 1930.
The coaster was named after the American Revolution in celebration of the country's Bicentennial. Unlike many of the previous looping roller coasters in the 19th and early-20th centuries which attempted circular loops, Revolution's success was dependent on a clothoid-shaped vertical loop - a first in the industry.
In 2016, the coaster received a makeover for its 40th anniversary that included new trains with lap bars and an optional virtual reality experience for riders. The New Revolution soft-launched to season pass holders on March 26, 2016, and opened to the general public on April 21, 2016.

Me too!
Loved this ride as a kid. One evening, without many guests left in the park, my friends and I were allowed to ride over and over again. This video clip brought back some good memories!
Fun Ride
Looks fun 🤩
The classic Revolution, historic and iconic roller coaster. I love it!
I love the layout of this ride and how it twists through the trees!

Great movie.
I was visiting my Grandmother, Aunt and Uncle in California all the way from Virginia. They took us all to Magic Mountain. This was my first Roller Coaster with a loop. I found myself standing in line for the ride elbow to elbow with the DeFranco Family, who were performing there at the time. I was too afraid to speak to them. That was a trip I'll never forget. Great memories from the 70's.
I rode Revolution 2yrs after it opened. The Coaster had a 5 Train operation, and there were no trim brakes before the loop, and after the tunnel, which gave the ride a very fast, and powerful finish.

rev is only built to have 3 train ops, it doesn't have enough train storage for 5
I've gotten exactly one ride on this thing pre-conversion where it wasn't running any trims and it was legitimately incredible. BRING BACK TRIMLESS RIDES
that chainlift sound hits hard

Unforgettable sound.
I haven't rode it in years but it's always been one of my top favorites.
Hey, neat ride. Looks fun.
That's the Revolution I think I remember.
This is my absolute favorite ride at magic mountain anywhere. My friend Christian took me on it and I love it. A nice break after Twisted Colossus!
This was used in the 1977 Rollercoaster when the bad guy gets killed
It’s a bit like the rolls Royce of coasters. Not the fastest or most exciting but elegant smooth and refined.
How is Classic Revolution different than New?

I think it was renamed to Classic because the park did away with the virtual reality feature (which itself was marketed under the name "The New Revolution").
I hate the assigning seats at magic mountain.
