Ninja

All though this ride is a little older it’s a classic! We love this ride! My son screams in delight the whole time. I love the way you are hanging. It adds to the experience. Can’t wait to go back

Fun but quick ride. Usually there is not much of a line here either. It’s pretty fun to ride with your eyes closed for added thrills. Definitely a good first ride because it is very tame and relatively comfortable.

While my 7 year old thrill junkie daughter LOVED this ride, giggling and squealing the whole time, I had a different experience. The ride is jerky and KILLED my shoulders from all the jerking around. I was really happy when it was over.

They only have one cart running at a time, so it can be quite a wait. This makes for a very smooth ride and I love how the coaster runs through the trees. Makes one really feel like a ninja jumping from tree to tree. Finally get to live out my dream of being a ninja.

The line moves very slow because they loaded one train at a time. The set is old and needs redoing. the ride is whatever. Fun if it’s a short line, otherwise underwhelming.

Meh. The line wasn’t even that long but it wasn’t really worth the chaos that was lane distribution inside.
Like almost every coaster in the park, they ran just one car for the day, but unlike other rides where there were usually 4+ employees running the ride at any one time, most just standing around looking miserable, this ride had just two people running everything, and one employee in particular was doing most of the work and (somehow) with a great attitude and smile on her face. Her name was Janeth and she’s basically one of only three cool employees at the park, so big-​ups to her.
The ride wasn’t that memorable but overall I think it’s a fine ride for younger kids or like a starter coaster for people who don’t really do coasters in general. If you have to wait more than 10-​minutes, it’s really not worth it if you have anything else better to do.

One of my favorite childhood ride. Not too crazy more of a leisure ride and the staff operator is hilarious. NINJA FIRE ! lol

This coaster is showing its age. When comparing to Batman (which is a hang-​under like Ninja), or Goliath, or Full Throttle, it just doesn’t measure up. It’s not a bad coaster, and I think for younger kids who perhaps can’t take the high-​thrills of the other coasters, or can’t pass the height requirements of those other coasters, this is a good option. But I don’t think I will wait in line for it again. I’d rather spend my time waiting for X2 or Tatsu or Batman.
It’s not a bad coaster, but it’s been dramatically exceeded by its much newer cousins.

Wow! The biggest and fastest suspended coaster! A pretty cool ride. It’s not as extreme as most of Six Flags’ other rides, but that’s why I think it’s fun! You don’t need to go upside down 7 times or on the world’s first «fifth dimensional» ride to have fun! The sharp turns are really cool– and of course the fact that you’re under the track! I wasn’t able to ride it on my most recent visit because in case you didn’t know, the «Black Belt of Coasters» had a bit of a feud with a tree and lost. hope it reopens soon! The line is usually 30 mins at the most, and you should definitely stop by on your way to Tatsu!

Eh. Very nice ride. Just a let down at the end. Seems like it could of been set up better.

If you don’t really like roller coasters but you want to FEEL big and bad and return home with a story to tell that you conquered one… ride this. If you actually enjoy a good roller coaster ride… a good thrill… good fun. O… M…G, you will be highly disappointed by this ride. In fact, prior to coming to Six Flags I tried to recruit my cousin as my riding buddy but terrified of roller coasters, she told me this is the only one she’d ride. Ha! I totally get it!
I was like what the heck?! This ride is garbage. Just ride Tatsu or Full Throttle… you’ll thank me later. I think all of the 4 & 5 star reviews are just being nice or aren’t as daring as they think they are because this has to be one of the worst rides in the park. Spare me…

Avoid, avoid, avoid.
The park map has some made up line about it having a record in speed – maybe it did if you go by 1920s standards?
Out of a solid 2.5 minute ride time, 1.5 minutes of that is spent simply waiting for the ride to start and then waiting to get off. Briefly, it’s a pleasant ride, and passengers assume it’s leading up to something awesome. But wait – the ride is over.
Not a smooth ride, not a fast ride, just an old ride in need of demolition.
Edited to add: HIYA! HIIIIIIYA!

OK why was this ride even made???
I had high expectations for Ninja and this is one of the WORSE rides in the park. I cannot believe this is categorize as a fast roller coaster. This piece of crap ride is NOT worth hiking up that big ass hill in the heat. This is placed between the Superman & Tatsu, I suggest going on Tatsu instead of wasting your time and riding the worst 1 minute of your life.

I see that Ninja only has three stars. I highly disagree with this labeling. Yes, ninja isn’t the talles, isn’t the prettiest and isn’t the fastes coaster out there, but hell, it sure is fun!
Yes, she’s a bit temperamental. Doesn’t like to operate on cold days, but catch her «in heat» during summer and she’ll whip you up, down and all around the overgrown terrain on the backside of Magic Mountain. Not many coasters at the park still exist of this variety, in that they no longer utilize the natural contours of the landscape… so I’m a bit protective. Like all coasters, I really suggest finding out for yourself at least once. If you hate it, at least you tried it.

Ninja is tied to be the fastest roller coaster of its kind in the world with another steel suspended coaster located in Canada, but don’t let that fool you. It travels 55 MPH suspended from the top and you sit in these disappointing sled like things that harkens your mind straight back to the Peter Pan ride at disneyland and suddenly you question weather or not you went to the right theme park today.
It is 1:30 min long, and really if you wait more than 15 min you are wasting your time.
As you huff and puff your way up the hill to get to Ninja have you ever questioned why the park entrance side of the hill gets a freaking tram (Oriental Express) and the back side got jacked? It didn’t always used to be like that. There was a tram on this side and the station building for Ninja is the same one that was for that tram.
Oh, and someone has died because of this ride. He hopped the fence in 2008 to get his hat and was hit in the head by the coaster as it passed. Hold onto your hat, people! And seriously, who goes into those restricted areas anyways?
The only good thing about Ninja is the excellent terrain use and getting to zig so close to the trees the branches touch the cars as they go by.
The worst part is the final assent into the station. Climbing the clickity clack assents are always an anticipation booster, and there should have been at least one more little fun thing between that final climb and the end. grrr.

Ninja is A-​OK. It’s a somewhat fun terrain coaster, meaning it does a great job of hugging the mountainside and enhancing the feeling of speed as you fly past the trees. The freely swinging cars provide an illusion of unpredictability about the ride.
If the line is short, it’s definitely worth it. Worst case, you just got a nice workout walking up the mountain.

I enjoyed Ninja back when I was 12 years old. I was also scared of rollercoasters then.
Ninja is really underwhelming. It’s rickety and bumpy, and I don’t even think I smiled once during the ride. :|

Pretty solid ride, but very bumpy.
Can’t compare to Tatsu or X2, but what it does have that those rides don’t is a short line. It’s really nice not to have to wait hours for a ride. If you go near the end of the day, you’ll probably wait a maximum of 5 – 10 minutes.
Still, though, it’s old and jittery, but sometimes that’s not such a bad thing.

i’ll go with 4 starts because this is the only coaster at Six Flags that my little girl is tall enough to ride. Don’t expect to get scared out of your pants… it can not be compared with the other rides at six flags for a thrill factor… but it’s still better than rides at other theme parks. My son still loves it although he is tall enough to ride everything here!!! yay for me… i have a ride buddy!
my little girl spent the entire day in Bugs Bunny land with daddy… while the boy and i went thrill seeking. We discovered that she was tall enough to ride Ninja… so we went to fetch her. She was having sooo much fun in BB land that she didn’t want to leave… she also was so excited to show me all the rides she had been dominating all day long (this area was empty… so it was hers to rule). she only agreed to come over to Ninja (which we called the pretty princess ride to trick her) if i went on her coaster first. i agreed, being a good mom, although it really cut into my day riding the big rides. I enjoyed it only because i got the see the enormous smile on her little face… but it was pure torture for my son… who couldn’t wait to get out of this area.
so…this ride is excellent for little ones… but once they have ridden a real ride… they wont want to go near this.

Meh.
Magic Mountain is the mecca of roller coasters. They have almost any kind of coaster you could ever want. Even a coaster like Ninja.
It is true there are not many coasters like this in the world but there is probably a reason why. You sit in seats that are suspended from the coaster track above. It’s almost like the Batman coaster but without the coolness of hanging there with nothing underneath you.
The attraction itself is starting to show it’s age. The cars look old, the ride is bumpy and jarring and the seating just is not comfortable.
Because of all these factors it NEVER has a line… at least I have never had to wait more than a couple minutes.
Part of the reason it has no line may also be because if you have never been to Magic Mountain before it is really hard to find the entrance for the ride itself. The coaster zooms around down by the Cyclone Bay area but in reality you have to hike up the hill next to the track like you are going to ride Superman or Tatsu just to get to the entrance.
I guess it would be a good ride to experience while you are up on the hill riding Tatsu and Superman but myself personally I would never hike up the hill just to ride this ride.
