Best Roller Coaster Costa Mesa Near Me

4worldlovers: Why just go forward on a roller coaster when you can go backwards too. At 40’ tall, Rewind Racers is North America’s first forward and reversing family shuttle coaster. Your family will be all smiles as they race to the finish line and the checkered flag!

Adventure City is one cool, relatively inexpensive way to keep the children busy for a day. The "coolest" attraction, in my opinion, is Rewind Racers. This ride is a good "transition" ride for older kids who'll one day want to ride HUGE coasters (or not, depending on their experience). As my seven year old niece put it, this ride is "Awesome!"

4worldlovers: Brave the ancient mysteries inside Knott’s first themed coaster. Built in 1995, the Temple of the Jaguar takes riders from the Mayan themed loading station aboard feline emblazoned trains.

Passengers will experience 2,600 feet of track, covering one-tenth of the park’s acreage. Named after the powerful and stealthy big cat, the ride takes on the same attributes, with twists and turns that are both fast and smooth.


Featuring a series of drops and curves, providing excitement around every turn. Jaguar! is a thrilling ride for coaster enthusiasts and thrill-seekers of all ages.


The Jaguar! is a family roller coaster that sends its passengers on an exciting tour around Fiesta Village and through the loop of Montezooma’s Revenge. The area is themed after an archeological dig in a Mayan temple, and the attraction itself offers its riders the feeling of a cat stalking its prey.

Enter through the ride exit to the left of the attraction entrance, and wait at the top of the exit ramp. A Guest Service Associate will direct the guest and their escort to a seat.

All riders must step down 7” to board the train. Riders must be able to maintain a stable upright position. Riders should have at least one lower extremity or lap to accommodate the lap bar. Due to the nature of the lap bar system on this ride, weight and size restrictions may apply.

Each rider must be able to remain sitting up straight, keeping their head upright, their back and shoulders against the seatback, and their hands, arms, legs, and feet down and inside the ride at all times. Riders must be able to hold on with one functioning arm and brace with one functioning leg. Two functioning arms are sufficient instead of one functioning arm and one functioning leg if the guest has a normal center of gravity, and the lower extremities are sufficiently strong to maintain proper riding posture under the dynamic conditions of the ride. Amputations must be at the knee or below. Riders must have a minimum of two functioning extremities. Guests with a cervical collar, a neck brace, or a broken collar bone must not ride. Riders with a full leg cast can participate, providing the leg cast can fit inside of the ride, and the restraint system can be used as designed. Please review all restrictions listed on the sign at the attraction entrance.
