Capcom is teaming up with Six Flags to bring the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate experience to guests at Six Flags Magic Mountain, the “Thrill Capital of the World.” Between March 28 and August 10, the Goliath roller coaster will be re-themed to Capcom’s 3DS game, and the national Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate traveling Caravan Tour will be making a stop at Six Flags Magic Mountain for special event days on March 28 and 29.

Here’s the full rundown of Capcom and Six Flags’ plans:

With the Six Flags partnership, the game will come to life with one dedicated passenger train of the Goliath coaster custom-skinned to resemble the game’s flagship Gore Magala monster. The Goliath “coaster giant” is a metal monster with a staggering 255 foot drop taken at 85 mph, making this one of the longest and fastest drops in the world. Once riders conquer the thrilling high-speed banked turns, camelback hills, huge spiral curves and “zero gravity” drops of the Gore Magala themed Goliath coaster, they will have a chance to tackle the ferocious Gore Magala in game form as they test out the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate demo at kiosks inside the Cyber Cafe. Special Monster Hunter merchandise will also be for sale in the park to commemorate this ultimate vertical adventure.

Fans who visit Six Flags Magic Mountain for the opening weekend of the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate program can also attend the special Caravan event on March 28 or 29, where they will 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. They will also be able to meet up to play the game with fellow hunters and Capcom staff on those days.

When you look at it on paper, pretty much nothing about Monster Hunter seems appealing. Players need to work with a ferociously unforgiving learning curve, an emphasis on an end-game that can take literally dozens of hours to reach and a clunky or sometimes downright unfair combat system. It just doesn’t add up. I’ve tried several times over the years to get into the Monster Hunter titles and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the first time the series really got its hooks in me. For the first time I ‘got’ it, and I began to appreciate the game for the journey it would eventually take me on. It’s a brutal, long, often frustrating adventure, so I wanted to explain why all of the things that are seemingly “wrong” with Monster Hunter make it so great, and why we fans are okay with that label of being just a little bit crazy.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate’s first wave of downloadable content is due out on March 6, Capcom confirmed during the latest episode of IGN’s Nintendo Voice Chat. The company will be lumping DLC together and launching batches on the first Friday of each month going forward.

There’s plenty to look forward to from the first wave of DLC. Capcom is bringing along Link items, which adds a new armor set, sword and shield, and bow and arrow inspired by Nintendo’s famous character. Capcom is also releasing the first episode quest, Clockwork Contraption and Emperor’s Speech weapons (winners of the fan contest), and an equipment set based on a collaboration with Universal Studios Japan.

It’s important to mention that all of these extras will be free. You won’t need to fork over an extra cent for the DLC.
