History[]
On May 16, 1986, Shockwave opened to the general public. It was one of the first stand-up roller coasters in the world. The coaster was a very popular attraction at Magic Mountain regardless of its roughness due to the positions of the restraints. At the time, Six Flags had a ride rotation program, in which some coasters would remain at a park for a couple years and then transferred to another park. In 1988, Shockwave was closed and dismantled. It was sent to Six Flags Great Adventure in 1990.
