Ninja is an entertaining coaster for pretty much everyone to enjoy. These Arrow suspended coasters have definitely passed their prime, but its still nice to see Ninja remain a favorite at Magic Mountain despite all the latest and greatest coasters being added. Set on the Samurai Summit hillside, Ninja swoops and dives among the trees and support posts exactly the way a suspended coaster should. There are even some significant positive g-forces as the train careens just above the Jet Stream lake. The two problems with Ninja are the short duration and the extremely anticlimactic lift hill that ends the ride. Nonetheless, well worth a ride if the line is tolerable, and it often is.
