Six Flags Magic Mountain’s Goliath coaster is getting a Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate makeover

With the Monster Hunter series having sold more than 32 million units worldwide, Capcom is looking for different and unique ways to bring its popular franchise to fans all over. Announced today, Capcom has partnered with Six Flags Entertainment Corporation to bring "the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate experience" to guests at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Beginning March 28 and running through August 10, the park's Goliath roller coaster will be re-themed to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. "With the Six Flags partnership, the game will come to life with one dedicated passenger train of the Goliath coaster custom-skinned to resemble the game’s flagship Gore Magala monster," Capcom said in a statement. For those unfamiliar, The Goliath "coaster giant" is referred to as a metal monster, featuring a staggering 255 foot drop taken at 85 miles per hour — one of the longest and fastest drops in the world.

"Once riders conquer the thrilling high-speed banked turns, camelback hills, huge spiral curves and “zero gravity” drops of the Gore Magala themed Goliath coaster, they will have a chance to tackle the ferocious Gore Magala in game form as they test out the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate demo at kiosks inside the Cyber Cafe," Capcom added. In addition to the themed coaster, special Monster Hunter merchandise will also be for sale in the park to commemorate the adventure. On opening weekend, the national Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate traveling Caravan Tour will be making a stop, bringing the immersive world of Monster Hunter to life with a custom setting that recreates the look and feel of the traveling Caravan from the game.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the latest entry in the series to release. It launched alongside the New Nintendo 3DS XL bundle and helped contribute to the system's fast start.
