Ikr!

I’ve seen crazier so think of it as height

That's how am with Popeyes macaroni and cheese. God love that stuff! It's so delicious. Makes me nut

No, the height is pretty damned terrifying! It looks like nothing in the video but it is over 45 stories high and you drop straight down! You can see parts of Australia when you're up there! But at almost 130 mph, the speed isn't just a joyride either! I went to Cedar Pointe to ride their version of it (Top Fuel Dragster) to ride it for the first time, but of course it gets shut down and I missed the opportunity 😡 I don't think they even have a reopening date yet. Damned Ohio! Their two super coasters almost made up for it though...

It’s literally still the tallest coaster in the world how isn’t it the height

That sounds like an awesome experience bud. Thanks for sharing 😊

That’s why it’s called a Stratocoaster

Sir! I LIKE UR DISCRIPTION OF EXPERIENCE FROM TOP AND DOWN OF RIDE OF ROLLER COASTER WITH HIGH SPEED AND ALTITUDE PLZ ASSURE US OF SAFETY GUARD FOR RIDERS.- H.S.

That is beautiful

Imagine that experience after smoking some weed 😂

"literally"

@@ATalkingBadgerlol his jaw fell off and disconnected lol

You pretty much do melt lol, they offer pics on the way out and everyone's face is just MUSHED back The speed is cool (0-128mph in like 3.5 sec) but the drop is craziest part (456ft) Still, to me, the best ride at this park will always be Nitro. Check out a POV video of Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure

Imagine if it started hailing 😵

Ouch

Golly needles

I think that’s pretty common. I was on a coaster years ago that was only a 205 ft drop and reached 75 mph and the rain felt like needles lol

@@EastonHB27faces: gone

😂😂😂On ME!!

aha...a speaking rollercoaster

Inertia can snap arms

Lmao unless u want to nuts into yo eye sockets go head and ride this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

Irony right?

Yep 👍

Yea it's in new Jersey I'm scared bc I'm going there next week and I'm going to ride it

😂😂😂

LOLOL 😂😂

You can do it. It’s AMAZING

I wanted to do it so bad on my 8th grade trip, but it was closed bruh💀

I rode it twice, both times at night. Even though I was scared shitless, I’m still glad I fit it. Very cool nighttime experience

Bro I blacked out the first time I rode it too. I blacked out when it started to ascend and woke up at the apex

I bet you did! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Holy crap! When did you regain consciousness? And did it take you a moment to reorient yourself or did you know exactly what just happened? I'm curious what it feels like to black out on a coaster!

shades on Kingda Ka? How did they not fall off lmao

@@Irish_Georgia_GirlI blacked out on a coaster when I was 14. And the funny this is that you don’t even realize what happened 😂. It only takes a few seconds before regaining consciousness. When you wake up that’s like nothing happened and you keep screaming lmao

I'll take your word for it...

The launch mechanism is just a scaled down version of what is used to launch fighter jets off of of air craft carriers. You're hearing the same thing.

@@senorcovertit feels no different, I was fukin screaming the whole time, awesome coaster from intamin

@@airbusboeing2502 i should have clarified older carriers but everything i said minus the specification of older is correct.

I'd be terrified of that cable snapping though...I thought it was all magnets

I love this ride so much. I’ve ridden everything and this was the hardest thing to ride but it’s worth it

Your survival instinct is just too strong. Thats a good thing

Chicken 😂

Same

Its over in 5 seconds. Imagine being dumb enough to say I wouldnt close my eyes for 5 seconds for any amount of money.

2 pennies for me

It ain’t that bad. Tbh the fun part is the beginning of the ride

Same 😂

Me too!

Yeah I am never getting on that thing. Too scared to.

​@alishacruz9573 My friend asked if I would wear a diaper going on that ride and I said yes I would, because knowing me, I'd definitely pee my pants. No way in hell am I going on that.

​@jennyrose1761 I'd pee my pants, so if I ever go on this thing, definitely wearing an adult diaper on the ride.

No,actually they use hydro pressure to power to cable!it’s rlly cool if you look into it

​@@daniellelampert9911 except you can actually see water in the first clip and i guess its most likely for cooling

@@salocin6125 no offense, but I have studied the power sources of speed in roller coasters and while yes I suppose that it can help with cooling the water pressure powers the 128 mph ride launch.(I’ve actually traveled to New Jersey to ride this one ^v^)

@@daniellelampert9911 no offense, but i have eyes and i see water exiting along with the cable. you dont power hydraulic launches by pushing the cable with water behind the train😂

@@salocin6125 I’m ending this conversation

Lucky!

Wow

Weres this roller-coaster at?

It looks bad, but it's meant to do that. All coasters have to have some flex. If the coaster didn't flex a little bit, it would actually break from the stress. The flexing removes some of the stress from the train.

@@PlatinumEagleStudios I see. Thank you for responding to me!

@@hazoreo You're welcome. Also you don't actually notice the flexing because you're going so fast.

​@@PlatinumEagleStudiosyep you definitely want that shock absorption in something like that!

Every coaster has a little shake, especially a launch coaster. It’s still safe.

It's meant to shake. If it didn't, it wouldn't absorb any of the forces and would snap.

The shaking is perfectly normal. It's for shock absorption. Ever seen a video of this one earthquake in Japan I think it was.... with all their skyscrapers shimmying and waving just like that... except more drastically? Freaked me out when I first saw it as a kid, but learned that they're supposed to do that...in fact that's why th didn't collapse! Because they'd been built to absorb the shock and be flexible. But dang it looks weird af! They're just a waving and wiggling like dancers.

Every coaster track shakes it has to, if it didn't move it'd shred itself the first time it was used. Even skyscrapers move around a lot for the same reasons

No are right. Track and riders car need some maintenance . That last car is not supposed to jerk side to side that hard. To much friction there

Wow! Looks sooo fun!!

I will ride anything including this, yet I’m afraid of the teacups ride at Walt Disney World..

Yeah I'd need a diaper for this ride. Not gonna ever go on this thing.

When it first opened, it kept breaking down. My brother in law was in line for almost 3 hours. Got to the front, they shut it down 😂

​@@debbie5911 i woulda been pissed

Whats the ride called ?

@@Oliviagamingsimsss4Literally says it in the video and in the title. Learn how to read and pay attention please

Yeah I knew what it was shortly after the vid

😂😂😂

They are! It will be out next year supposedly! "Top Thrill 2 Have a need for speed? Get revvved up in 2024 and buckle in as Cedar Point introduces Top Thrill 2, the world's TALLEST and FASTEST triple-launch strata coaster. This record-breaking, next generation motorsport machine races a course unlike any other on the planet."

It’s a near-clone of a coaster that opened in 2003.

Seems even shorter than what you said, assuming its only one lap

Cedar Point had to send an employee to climb up and literally give the coaster a shove when it got stuck like that. It happened a lot. These coasters had serious teething issues as it was cutting edge technology. I think in the end they were innovative but kind of failures and not that economically successful. I think Top Thrill is being torn down.

Sometimes, depends how the carts are weighted. It's never happened to me the few times ive been on it. I've seen it come to almost a full stop up top but then make it over, never seen it come back down backwards. Though it occasionally happens, supposedly

I don’t know if it’s ever gotten stuck at the top but it will roll back at full speed and land in the catch back, which safely brings you back to the station, they then give you the opportunity to get off and put new people on, then they send you back out

Was Kinda Ka torn down?

That actually happened to me and I never rode a roller coaster since …😂😂

Righttt

@@itsariii9078 what’s that mean? XD

​@@ADeityythe steel cable underneath the ride...just before they show the people going up the hill, they show the coolant spray under the track.

@@nickh7777 I know it works... it was hinted that i didn't....

So there'll be a head-on collision with a plane in the air. Seriously like why

@@toyakee1157 You think planes fly 456 feet with a coaster that's been there for years?

Hopefully! It’s so much closer than SFGA

dragswr sppikke cunfermed???????

I sure hope so. Doesn't look like they'll be doing the tallest but I can't wait for my dragster to reopen as whatever it's gonna open as. 8.1.23 well know!

Yeah, this didn't age well. Not looking Ike a record breaker unfortunately.

No they aren't lmfao

8 only? Whoa!!

you must be really tall now

@@jiggypuffyI’m currently 6 foot 3. When I was 7, I was less than a quarter of an inch too short. The next year when I went back, I grew 4 inches.

@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingForyup

@@dblum I wish I had dared to ride those things when I was just as little!

Update, made it, it was broken large portion of the day but still made it.

I doubt it lol. The New Jersey/Six Flags combo is unstoppable

NJ dep of agriculture requires ostr over 400ft

Same!!!! And even if someone offered me to have s*x, I STILL would never get on it! And Idgaf what some people say or think of me, I STILL would never get on it! Period!!

Skill issue

​@@jennikifm2rollercoasters are safer than vending machines bud

​​@@jennikifm2It's okay, me neither. I know if I did get on it, I'd need new pants afterwards from pissing myself. So yeah, I'm good.

I’ve been on it a few times, it’s definitely worth it especially the launch

They definitely dont have to get an engineer. Ive worked this ride. Something as simple as a gust of wind can cause a roll back. They just send it again.

@@adamisveryweird3854 stop talking out your neck. They use an lsm brake system to stop the trains and theres literally no higher standard for braking in the world. Theyre literally magnets. The entire problem with both TFD and kingda ka is the hydraulic launch system. Go mansplain somewhere else.

No they don't. They just have the train put back into position and send it back up again. A roll back is completely normal and safe

It’s a rollback to test emergency brakes

@@chrisbruchak4519 Yes, rollbacks can be caused from a gust of wind, but you are right that it is mostly the launch system that causes this. Also, dedicated magnetic brakes are not LSMs or LIMs, they're alloys, usually made of Copper or Aluminum. Those fins interact with fixed permanent magnets on the train, creating a braking force in the opposite direction due to something known as eddy current.

Couldn’t agree more!!

the most somebody has ever been hurt is a kid getting struck by a bird the ride is safe

Vending machines kill more than rollercoasters bruh you'll be fine

Except for when you actually ride the view at the apex is beautiful

It was out of service when I was there in June. My best friend never rode it because ever time throughout his life when he'd go there, it was always shut down.

No they aren't lmfao

That's possibly the worst abbreviation i've ever seen.

Maxx Force has a much faster launch using compressed air

​@@Samuelon552Yeah and it sounds like a cannon

Not as many as maxx force which goes 0-78 in 1.8 seconds

These trains are really heavy! They weigh about 15 tons, so they don't get top fuel acceleration, but it still easily beats a Tesla. Restraints for rides are really heavy because they not only need to work, but they also need to open and close easily and quickly, and fit a variety of people comfortably.

I tend to avoid King Da Ka because of how much of a bad headache I get after but when I do I always expect the “being at the top” part being the worst but man that launch is so fast that I can’t even scream or react I’m just frozen in place.

hopefully never, they fail too often leaving the ride inoperable

@@TheLazyM Actually the exact opposite, modern LSMs are MUCH more reliable than the system Kingda Ka uses (hydraulic launch).

Why not?

@@lemmofemmo because it’s insane and terrifies me- ‘nuff said really in first response!!!

@@elaineb4490 it's like 20 seconds

@@lemmofemmo and that would seem like 20 years to me.

because we like fun and you don't

Not true..ive been there on days its 20 minute wait..just depends when your going

@@jeffbizie True, but it's still not worth it if it is really busy. Waiting like an hour for a 25 second ride is obviously stupid.

@@PlatinumEagleStudios guess it depends how much you like the coaster right? To each there own..im just saying...I've actually been there many times and got walk ons

@@jeffbizie And that's when the ride is worth it 🙂. But I personally think it's bad if the line is like an hour long. You gotta agree with that. I'm pretty sure you would hate waiting like an hour just for a 25 second ride.

@@PlatinumEagleStudios I would agree with that..I do not like waiting in line lol. I always get flash pass ,fast lane/quick que. I was only stating I've seen the ride line not always a full que..not that it's worth it🤣 but yes I do agree. I wouldn't even wait longer than 40 to ride fury325 or iron gwazi if i didnt use fast lane/quick que and those are some of my favorite coasters lol.

No, just you

people don’t fall off rides unless the regulations aren’t followed

That was a bird....

So true, couldn’t even keep eyes open on take off from force of air

Yeah l notice that noise before they start scared me 😮😮😮😮

@@tamara40 Those noises are normal.

They run these cars over this track hundreds of times a day with no incidents.

Great adventure is my home park and I feel the same way about X2 at magic mountain

😂

Not the fastest tho
