Frozen Ever After - Epcot Walt Disney World Ride POV!
Glad you are feeling better. You should watch the new Ghostbusters (the ones with the kids). We loved them and they really play on the nostalgia factor if you liked the first one. Much better than the all female cast one-- I realize this makes me look like a traitor to my gender, but it was really bad. lol
I’ll check them out. I heard they were fun. I also did not like the all female cast, and I LOVE Kristin Wig. I was so disappointed.
That’s a bit early for a Christmas tree, but great video!!
Ha! My office is heavily theme park themed. I leave that tree up all the time, it’s all theme park and roller coaster ornaments. 😂
Honestly didn't know these were a thing but the video makes me want to do them.
It’s an amazing event! They go all out!
Glad to see you're back on your feet!
Thanks! It was hell!
Can you do a guide for the 1pm queue lol for ppl who have difficulties waking up early 😅
I’ve actually considered this before, because there’s a lot of confusion around it. I’ll put something together this week.
I only ride front row on all coasters I ride because nothing beats looking down for me. 3rd best ride at my absolute favorite park I have even Ben to so far. Outstanding All Around
I'm typically a back row guy, but it depends on the ride. I usually for a front and back for my first rides on something.
This is one of the few that get me dizzy, though I don't have that problem on Guardians
Luckily I don’t have issues with spinning. Guardians does a good job of pointing you in the direction you should be facing, so the spinning isn’t as bad.
I have memories of riding both Kumba and Montu at Busch Gardens with my family in the late 90’s. I believe they were fairly new rides then.
Kumba was 1993 and Montu was 1996. I remember being at the park in 1995, and they were building Montu. There were still only rumors about what it was, but the guy on the train told us everything about it, including the name. I was so excited to report back to the nerd message board I read for coaster stuff. 😂
This is my favorite ride at this park. Love the G forces on the turns.
Iron Gwazi is my favorite at the park, but Montu is #2.
I'm so happy the skyride is open again
It really adds so much to the park! I still miss the monorail, but I guess Cheetah Hunt will do for a replacement.
That was a fun ride from Busch Gardens remind me of the Batman ride at the Six Flags parks
Batman was the original B&M inverted coaster, and I still love all of the Batman rides all over the world! Montu was one of the first custom layouts after a few of the Batman models had been built.
@@themeparkgiant cool
Theme Park Giant Visits Six Flags St. Louis! ruclips.net/video/4yg5KyW9VYc/видео.html
Have ever visit any six flags parks
Yes! I've been to 9 different Six Flags parks. Lots of great coasters!
@@themeparkgiant okay great have ever been to six flags St Louis
Oh yes, many times. I used to live in Iowa, so it was one of the closest parks for me to visit. I have a video I did from there a couple of years ago on my channel. Can’t film on the rides there, but I did a vlog from the park!
@@themeparkgiant okay I love to see
I was there yesterday to say goodbye, as well. As my #2 in the park this little beast will be greatly missed 🙏🏾
That area of the park won’t feel the same! It was running so well yesterday, too! 😭
@@themeparkgiant it won't be the same at all. Hoping for a memorial of sorts and a worthy replacement!
@@mrchrisliddell Hoping for the same! They did a great job with the Phoenix Rising area, so I'm sure whatever they do will be great! Still sad, though! I just realized we met at the Phoenix preview last month. I enjoyed chatting about coasters with you while we waited!
@@themeparkgiant oh yes, that was me! We talked about that rare Desperado cred lol but you're right, Pheonix Rising is amazing so I have faith. Hoping for either a raptor or, of course, the much rumored Giga.
Haha I’m still jealous about Desperado! A Giga would be incredible. They’ve needed a hyper/giga for DECADES!
Such a classic ride, and I love Judi Dench as the narrator.
Cronkite was probably my favorite, but I love Judi as well.
Never say never, there is always next year. Start your planning now lol.
Yeah, I don't think this will be my last attempt at this. lol
Is it risky to be super super late for you Virtual queue, we want to get the 7am drop (using your tips) but won’t be able to ride it until night, is this risky? Thanks
It depends on the ride, and how late. And there's no guarantee that a Cast Member will let you ride late. In my experience, I've never been turned away from Guardians. A couple of days ago I was in one of the first 10 groups, but didn't ride it until after 8 PM. The light will go blue (not green) if you're late, but I just always tell them I'm running late. On Tron, I've heard they've become more flexible, but will not allow people to do a night ride unless they're in that timeframe. A lot of people want to come back later for a night ride, so they're strict on that. I only ride Tron at rope drop because I don't like waiting in the line for it, so I can't verify that you can show up later from my experience. I've heard that Tiana has been very flexible since it opened, allowing people to return later. I think that's because it's has so many issues staying up and running throughout the day. I've also only ridden Tiana in the morning, so I can't verify that, just things I've read online. Hope this helps!
If you wanted to attempt this challenge again next year, I think it’d be cool if you tried to do every coaster in Florida within 48 hours
I like the idea, but you’d probably have to limit it to Orlando and Tampa. So you could add both Fun Spots, Legoland, and Busch Gardens.
@@themeparkgiant that’s what I meant, not including any FEC’s or things like that. Plus I think you’d have to ride both sides of Space Mountain during that challenge since it’s essentially 2 coasters
I actually thought about having to ride both sides of Space the other day. There’s some randomness with that because a lot of Cast Members won’t let you pick which side you want to ride.
@@themeparkgiant that’s another reason why I think 2 days would be better for doing every coaster in Florida, so 1 day you can have a lightning lane for Seven Dwarfs and the other day you have one for Space. From what I’ve heard, the lightning lane people usually go to the Omega side while the stand-by line goes to the Alpha side
Epic day!
It was a lot of fun!
Meh
It’s not the craziest ride, but it’s what the park was looking for. It’s a good family ride. Plenty of other big rides in the park for thrills.
The correction every time you said Pteranodon Flyers cracked me up!
I was losing my mind on Saturday. I knew how to say it, my mouth just wouldn't do it!
Your best video yet! Great idea.
Going to be a lot more videos like this coming!
Got a good change for you guys do 25 roller coasters in the LA area
What kind of dog do you have
She’s a mixed breed. Jack Russell and English Setter.
@@themeparkgiant okay those petty dogs
You guys have trone on your list
Yep, Tron is on the list!
@@themeparkgiant great ride
Great ride, as long as they don't shove too many people in the row
And if the wait is less than 30 minutes. This ride has definitely grown on me over time.
This is one of my favorites.
It’s a great ride. I love to go over to AK in the evening and use the single rider line.
It does seem like a party day is a good day for less waits on most rides. Still trying to decide if I should do the actual party this year.
I’m in the same boat. I was at MK last night and just seeing the Halloween decorations at night was enough for me right now. I don’t typically like parades, but I LOVE Boo to You.
We’ve done MK and DCA on party days and had awesome luck like this too! Glad you had a great day
It’s such a great little hack to go on party days! Love a near empty Magic Kingdom!
One of the smoothest I’ve been on
Smooth, fast, and lots of airtime!
Such a great ride. I hope someday they fix the yeti as Joe Rode promised
In my opinion, it's WDW's 2nd best coaster and not even close. It's such a great ride. I've given up on the Yeti. It was awesome when it first opened, but if they haven't done it by now, I don't think they'll ever fix it.
RIP Dinosaur you will be missed😢
I'll miss it. Love having a unique version of the ride here. At least Indy isn't supposed to be a clone.
An all time Disney classic!
My favorite ride.
One of Disney’s coolest themed lands!
The theming is impressive, no doubt. Wish it was open at night more often, it's so cool!
Kraken will always be sentimental to me. One of the first major B&Ms I was tall enough to ride. Took a family vacation to Orlando when I was in like 6th grade.
Kraken was the reason I finally visited SeaWorld! Still a fun ride!
I have never been on this ride. The line is so long! Thanks for the video.
It’s always a super long line, and unfortunately isn’t worth how long the wait is. The ride has grown on me over the years. The final animatronic is breathtaking to see, so it’s worth that.
The B&M roar is evenly matched w the sound of the wind.
Love that B&M roar!
@@themeparkgiant First of all, great channel! Re your reply, so do I. To me it represents the sound of smoothness. I particularly like how, when the sound of the roar decreases at the top of a hill, it means that significant airtime is taking place there.
And on Mako there is a TON of airtime to be had!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is the Florida's fastest RollerCoaster😬🤩
Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens is a little faster!
5::33
Looks like a great lengthy ride👍
It's an amazing ride! Tall, fast, smooth, and a long ride!
i think it needs a repaint
It got one a little over 2 years, ago, but it's clearly ready for another.
I still haven't found the right way to stand on this type of coaster where being a guy doesn't hurt lol
I thought I'd found a decent strategy, then the ride op stapled the restraint right onto my guy part. lol
Been a long while since I"ve been on this one, but I do remember the restraints felt very similar to Tigris
They used to be the same as Tigris, but removed the over the shoulder part. They’re SOOOOO much better. Tigris needs to switch too.
That loop at 1:10 always feels so long
It’s one of the most intense inversions out there. I love it!
Ahhhhhaaaaa
😂😂😂
Hi Thaddeus
So cool
My man. This is so cool. I don't know what I should expect. It would be cool if you did a short explanation of what the ride is? Like first we're gonna do a loop and then a big corner before more speed and a loop. Or history because I'm a big history fact dork
So I usually do a couple of different types of vids. This is strictly the POV of the ride, because people love them. I did a full review along with offride footage of this right after I moved here. I’m planning on doing more of those types for each ride in the area.
My favorite
It's such a fun ride! I wasn't expecting it to be so good when it first opened! I hope more parks add these.
Super-fun!
It’s such a great ride! It’s so underrated!
@@themeparkgiant I got a little vertigo just from watching at home. Brilliant camera work. Cheers.
Ha! Yeah, this is probably a better way for you to ride! Thanks for watching!
Boring AF 😂
