"With its reputation as a quick thrill....." would be correct.
"It's " is "It is". "Its " is the possessive adjective which shows possession of the thing "it" refers to.

It should be noted that at one time (maybe 150 years ago) there was considerable disagreement over this, but finally the "authorities" concluded that, when the possessive form of a pronoun and a contraction would otherwise have the same same representation, it was best to omit the apostrophe in the possessive, to disambiguate. To my knowledge this is the last thing "the authorities" have agreed on in the past 100 years.
