The location being so close to the edge of cliff looks like the only outstandingly scary part of this, otherwise it just seems to be a standard rollercoaster.
I do feel you though OP since I'm also terrible with rollercoasters in general, but I have seen worse than this
You just need to time it right. Go to LA six flags magic mountain or similar between thanksgiving and Xmas. I was the only person on about 300 rides in a single day.
Good to know. When I lived in Socal we used to go to Magic Mountain on a Tuesday or Wednesday in the 1980s and it was perfect like a ghost town. Figured those days are over by now.
Yep, I did corners x4, middle x3 in pretty much every ride, and more on the big coasters.
I quit around 3pm as I was feeling punch drunk. It was really noticeable in the walk back to the car, I couldn't walk straight. Too much of a good thing lol.
Depends when it was built i suppose. Oblivion at alton towers is just one drop and that's because it was the world's first. It sits right next to the smiler that was built 20 years later and has more inversions than any other rollercoaster in the world.
Yeah, that was pretty weak. Scariest coaster I've ever been on, on sheer lack of safety, was the Zippin Pippin at Libertyland in Memphis, TN back in the 80s. It wasn't a big coaster, but it was all wooden, built in the 1910s, and I still don't know how that thing was allowed to operate. You could feel the cars come off the tracks all throughout that ride and were sure you were going to end up smeared on the pavement below.
Second scariest was the original Rattler wooden coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas back in the early 90s when it first opened, before they retrofitted and upgraded it to an iron track and renamed it the Iron Rattler. Back then that thing sounded like every beam was snapping when you'd fly around corners. It scared the absolute shit out of people. IIRC, it had a "chicken ramp" to the side of the line because one of the big speed turns passed by the waiting area and people would Nope the fuck outta that shit and leave. I remember my mom watching it pass by, she turned around and hit that chicken ramp and said "fuck that shit" and just left us there.
Iāve ridden it. Many times. Thereās never a line. The park (Glenwood Adventure Park and Caverns) is a pretty cool place for the little ones. It has a few rides for adults that donāt disappoint.
Ah yes, I knew I recognised this! I went before they put this one in (actually, I went exactly 2 weeks before that young girl died falling off the mineshaft drop š) but it was still super fun, and very safe. I went on the mineshaft drop myself because I'm a fiend for those, and did the giant swing out over the cliff. I'm hoping they still have this one when I go back!
Just a normal rollercoaster. Nice location, tho.
If they wouldn't use this ridiculously exaggerated fisheye effect it would also look less intimidating to begin with.
The only rollercoaster experience that I really panicked, regreted after getting in and almost cried at the climb was the Splash at a 5Ā°C weather. It was as bad as you can imagine afterwards. I had to wait at a bus stop all wet, freezing to death, for a bus home that didn't come. I took off my wet shirt and run home for 40min at night.
It depends on where it is and who owns it.
I want it to be well maintained and part of a corporation that is very worried about lawsuits and bad press.
Need more height on that drop.
After all, the velocity (and the fun of the roller coaster), is just a function of the potential energy you put into it at the beginning. Need more height for that sweet sweet potential energy.
My life is plenty exciting, I'm very grateful to be alive. I don't need to induce fear of eminent death and subject my body to g-force while strapped down in a wheeled metal cage to appreciate it.
Each to his own.
But this is a nope for me.
We have one of these inverted drops on a ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. It's the best roller coaster I've ever ridden. Smooth ride and that drop will make you "oh shit" every time.
I was shaking and nauseous after 2 seconds. I suffer so badly with vertigo that if I watched more, it would likely trigger a panic attack.... A definite NOPE from me!

Looks really short.
That's it?
Wanted to say, that actually looked underwhelming.
Reminds me of those one overrated rollercoaster that took an hour of line time This is why I stopped going to amusement parks

And then just ride Goliath over and over again

All that build up... for the shortest ride ever.
Title of your sex tape.
Aye. Finally a tape! I thought I wasn't gonna get any.
Yeah if you like that you could give me a call š
.. other than prom night.
Right?!? I've ridden kiddie rides longer than that. What a waste. Nive view tho.
It was good enough last night....
It was to a great start, and then it ended.
Depends when it was built i suppose. Oblivion at alton towers is just one drop and that's because it was the world's first. It sits right next to the smiler that was built 20 years later and has more inversions than any other rollercoaster in the world.
And probably costs something like 30 per ride

Right? Like... yes, I would ride a rollercoaster.
His basement is flooded
I'm glad I'm not the only one who snickered at that
Gave me a chuckle. Does anyone know what he's referring to?
Like he pissed or shit his pants š¤£
I donāt think it mattersā¦. Itās just flooded
Iāve ridden it. Many times. Thereās never a line. The park (Glenwood Adventure Park and Caverns) is a pretty cool place for the little ones. It has a few rides for adults that donāt disappoint.

More fun than than what comes across on video. The swing is the best ride there tho!
Oh, Iāve been there a few times! We always pass through Glenwood Spgs on the way to Aspen from denver.
Absolutely. Over and over again.
40 seconds of bliss
Oh hell yeah
I said this audibly lol
Me Too!!!
That was short. Not even worth it if there was a long line.
If you think riding that would be scary, imagine the people that had to build it.
Just a normal rollercoaster. Nice location, tho. If they wouldn't use this ridiculously exaggerated fisheye effect it would also look less intimidating to begin with.
wasted a minute and a half of my life fuck you
Where is this?
Glenwood Springs colorado
Came to make sure someone had the location. Aces my friend. š¤
Thank you
Looks fun ! I think without seeing the video it would be a big no. But now I want to do it
Is this Glenwood Springs?
Absolutely it is Glenwood Adventure Park
Would I ride this rollercoaster? Yes. Would I want to hear "Oh muh guhd!!11oneeleven" a thousand times during the ride? NOPE.
Nope, nope and nope
It is a rollercoaster,not an special one even
Does a bear shit in the woods?
Yeah, pretty tame.
no way! can't handle the awful tummy tickle š¬
my basements flooded
Would I? Yes. But could I? Probably not unless they have extra wide seats installed. Not many coasters accommodate tall and fluffy guys like me.
Thatās it??
That was short!
yes
Hell yeah! Might have to go a few times though... kinda short ride.
Without hesitation. Yes!
Not bad, but very short. Though judging by the lifts, this isn't a dedicated amusement park.
That was it!?
The only rollercoaster experience that I really panicked, regreted after getting in and almost cried at the climb was the Splash at a 5Ā°C weather. It was as bad as you can imagine afterwards.

Not a chance in hellš³
This is in Glenwood Springs, CO! I actually have rode this roller coaster. It beats the hell out of you, haha.
YEP. that's a FUCK YES nowhere near a nope
Seriously?!? I about threw up just watching this video. No, nope, no frillin way
same. as someone who doesn't do heights this video was torture fuck that
Is it in China?
O my god stop saying o my god!
The roller coaster in Vegasās New York New York is more interestingā¦
Not fucking now! I almost shit myself.
Ooh I call next
Is this in Glenwood Springs CO?
On my bucket list. Used to live a couple of hours from there & still kicking my own ass I didn't go bc now it's an 18 hour drive. š
I have been on it. Itās not the worst ride at this park. Honestly the gondola ride up to the entrance had me more on edge.
Looks very fun
Oh..... My..... God
It's not even that bad, looks quite peaceful actually haha
4 hour wait for 10 second ride. Haha
Yes
I have ridden this lol
Where is this??
Really that's it, I was expecting something so much worse, it was over in like 5 seconds
100%
I would!
That's not even that bad. If it was made out of wood, though...
That wasnāt so badā¦.if itās running fine all day Iād ride.
I would love to ride that!
I did. And it was nuts.
What about this is different to a normal rollercoaster? This is just clickbait
Nope. Not even going to watch.
what is brian griffin doing on it?
Looks fun, I've been on worse drops
OMG
That's amazingly cool, also I hate the auto stabilizer here but... eh Looks outstanding
Is that why the camera seemed to spin differently then the tracks would indicate? I thought it looked very weird.
HELL. NO. š³
Definitely
Reminds me of the Cannibal in UT
Probably
Thatās a big fuck no for me
I feel like puking, and I'm just watching it through a screen
That looks insanely fun lol
Iāve been on the tallest roller coaster in the world, I think I could handle it.
Pretty sure I had a dream like this once lol
The title got me all hyped up for some crazy rollercoaster only to be disappointed. Climbing the first hill was the longest part of the ride.
Curious... do you have to hold onto the handles on roller coasters or can you hold up your hands the whole time?
Without a doubt
Itās a roller coaster?
The flamboyant announcement "My basement's flooded" at 1:10 was something I did not enjoy hearing.
Oh yeah
"my basement's flooded," love it
This will give you the most intense natural high that you would want to do it over and over again just to feel it again.
Griffon at BG is way more intense than that.
Not even gonna watch the video.
Childās play
Oh cool, I'll be there in a couple weeks
Obviously not
Bruh. No. I have such a sensitivity to vertigo I black out on down escalators. š
Am I missing something? This is just a pretty mild roller coaster. Also, the kid coaster in the sesame street section of Busch gardens lasts longer.
YES YES YES!!
I hate when coasters are like this.
r/contagiouslaughter
Looks pretty tame. So, yes.
Never. I hate any rollercoaster, tho.
No No No thank you
Hah EZ. Looks fun!
This is something out of RCT
Just did. Fun ride! š Great video.
It depends on where it is and who owns it. I want it to be well maintained and part of a corporation that is very worried about lawsuits and bad press.
Yup looks fun
Need more height on that drop. After all, the velocity (and the fun of the roller coaster), is just a function of the potential energy you put into it at the beginning. Need more height for that sweet sweet potential energy.
many many times yes
Fonal Destination 3
ill ride it when TĆV says its good
Why not, but it's short af.
Itās pretty out there.
Pretty sure this was filmed with a 360 camera and I think you lose alot of the excitement when the vera doesn't go around in the corkscrews and such
Excelerator?
Terrible camera work and the field of view seems very narrow to add height maybe? Pretty average roller coaster all the same. Not sure I get this one.
Is he cumming??
Glenwood!
This looks sped up
Imagine designing and building that, you're in charge, go!
not for all the wide green world
Absolutely
My life is plenty exciting, I'm very grateful to be alive. I don't need to induce fear of eminent death and subject my body to g-force while strapped down in a wheeled metal cage to appreciate it. Each to his own. But this is a nope for me.
Way too short
Between my irrational fear of roller coasters, and my growing fear of heights, FUCK NO!
We have one of these inverted drops on a ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. It's the best roller coaster I've ever ridden. Smooth ride and that drop will make you "oh shit" every time.
Reminded me of Fruit Stripe gum.
I would have road that coaster, but neck surgery doesn't aloud me to.
I mean, it's a bit short, no?
Thatās both a fuck and a no from me! š
I was shaking and nauseous after 2 seconds. I suffer so badly with vertigo that if I watched more, it would likely trigger a panic attack.... A definite NOPE from me!
fuckin A, Iād ride it!
HARDDDDDDD FUKINNNNN NOOO
Looks amazing
I would love to get on that.. but it's so short.. š I rode the one at Abu Dhabi Ferrari world, that one was epic.
Hello Neighborās Neighbor trail
That was the shortest roller coaster ride Iāve ever seen. Iāve done worse irl.
It's too short but I'd absolutely ride it!!! WOW!!
So exciting but, I don't really think I can ride on it
Not for a million dollars lol.
I'm usually judge men harshly that scream like little girls (yes, I'm a toxic man, deal with it), but will make an exception in this case.
