However, Full Throttle's loop remains the tallest loop in North America. The coaster features a top hat element, unique in the way it is situated at the top of the vertical loop.

In 2026, Full Throttle at Six Flags Magic Mountain is no longer the record-holder for the world's tallest vertical loop. That title was officially claimed in February 2026 by Tormenta Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas. This new "Giga Dive" coaster features a massive 179-foot (54.5-meter) vertical loop that dominates the Dallas–Arlington skyline, standing eight feet taller than Full Throttle's 171-foot loop. While Full Throttle remains iconic for its unique "top hat" element over the exterior of the loop, the sheer scale of the 2026 Texas loop has set a new engineering benchmark. For 2026 thrill-seekers, the "pro-tip" is that Tormenta also holds five other world records, including the tallest dive coaster drop; if you want to experience the "Biggest Loop" in the world today, your destination is North Texas, where the 18-story steel ring serves as the centerpiece of the park's 65th-anniversary celebrations.
