Following the release of videogame
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Capcom and Six Flags have teamed up to bring the popular franchise to Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Running between 28 March and 10 August, the partnership will see the park’s Goliath steel rollercoaster rebranded under the
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate banner, with Capcom also bringing a travelling caravan themed around the franchise to kick off festivities, where visitors will be able to demo the game and buy Monster Hunter merchandise.
The game was released on Nintendo 3DS in February, and has been received critical acclaim. The Goliath coaster first opened in 2000 at a cost of US$30m (€27.4m, £20m) and is usually promoted with a sub-tropical theme that is characterised by ruins of the ancient Mayan civilisation.
