Scream! is a steel floorless roller coaster made by Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland. The coaster is located in the Colossus County Fair area of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, and was the park's 16th roller coaster.[citation needed]

Train entering the diving loop.

Scream! has special floorless trains which have been used on many B&M coasters. The riders are sent hurdling through a series of extreme maneuvers including seven inversions - 128-foot (39 m) vertical loop, 96-foot (29 m) dive loop, zero-g roll, 78-foot (24 m) cobra roll, and a set of interlocking corkscrews after the block brake.

Scream! is a mirror clone of the Bizarro floorless roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, although they have a slight difference in height of about 8 feet (2.4 m), and a difference in speed of 2 mph (3.2 km/h). The On-Ride Photo is located in the end of the loop.
