Ride a Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate-Themed Roller Coaster at Six Flags
Capcom has partnered with Six Flags to offer a Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate-themed roller coaster at the amusement park chain's Magic Mountain location.
Beginning on March 28, visitors will be able to ride a special version of the Goliath coaster, which will have a custom-skinned passenger train made out to look like MH4U's Gore Magala monster. The coaster features a 255-foot drop where the train reaches 85 miles per hour, thus ensuring I never step foot on it. You can see the non-Monster Hunter Version of it in action in the video below.
In addition to the coaster, the park's Cyber Cafe will have 3DS units on hand to allow visitors to try out a demo of MH4U. There will also be special Monster Hunter merchandise of some kind available for sale.
The custom coaster will be in the Valencia, CA-based park through August 10. If you're able to make it there on March 28 or 29, the ongoing Caravan Tour will be stopping in, giving you the chance to "be immersed in the world of Monster Hunter with a custom setting that recreates the look and feel of the traveling Caravan from the game."
Capcom didn't have any photos to share of any of this just yet, but promised we'll be getting a look at it all soon.
This isn't the first time Capcom has partnered with Six Flags, having done so for the release of Resident Evil 6 previously.
MH4U was released in February for 3DS in North America and Europe. Combined with those of the Japanese version released last October, sales had already eclipsed three million units as of mid-February.
