Jet Stream (Six Flags Magic Mountain)

Jet Stream is located on the backside of the Magic Mountain hill, in the Underground area. The queue is facing the old Dragon Ride platform, and is near the Gold Rusher's entrance. On busy days, there is an extended queue area that wraps around the main queue building, and around shrubbery. On normal days, guests enter straight into the main queue building, which is just a back-and-forth line covered by a roof with little natural light. After winding through the line, guests travel up a set of stairs, which takes them onto a bridge that overlooks the final drop and loading station. Guests, after the bridge, travel down stairs onto the loading platform, which constantly spins. Guests then load onto a boat and begin their ride.[2]

Once on the Jet Stream boats, riders embark on their journey. To their left is where all spare boats are held. This area has water, but is cut off from the main Jet Stream lake. The boats make a U-turn around the spare boat hold and then make their way up a lift hill. The boat then makes a left turn and then a right turn, which leads guests to the first small drop, themed to be inside an old mill. After the drop, the boats make an s-turn, which directs them toward the start of the ride. The boats, while doing this, pass high over a guest walkway, in which riders can look over and see guests walking about 50 feet below them. The boats take several more turns, and finally come up to the second lift hill, which is only about 5 feet. Riders are facing the queue and loading platform, as they take their final 57 foot drop. After the drop, the boats make a U-turn and head back to the station where guests disembark from the ride.
