"We should ride it again" you can hear in the back, when earlier was probably screaming in pain.
You can literally walk right on this thing, sit there, and ride as many times as you want to. The key is holding your head forward, that way you don't get the headache of your life :)
ikr
1998232v6 yes but head forward and to the left
Like jam it to the left
THANK TOU SOMEONE IS NOT B****ING ABOUT HEADACHES FRIM THIS RIDE (sorry this topic really irritates me, have a nice day :)
Been there done that
Fun fact. This particular model was built for the world's Fair Expo 86 in Vancouver BC.It was called the Scream Machine and after it was dismantled, Rogers Arena was built in its spot, where the Vancouver Canucks play in the NHL. It was sold to Six Flags after the fair.
They scream like Peeps in roller coaster tycoon 3
hay I love rct3
Its SO true. Especially the delayed first drop scream 🤣🤣"Ninja looks too intense for me"
@@slender321425xboxplayer "hey"
Yeah
Ninja was originally "The Scream Machine" at Expo 86 in Vancouver Canada. It was relocated to St. Louis after the fair was done. Expo 86 opened 30 years ago today.
I know this comment is 4 years old but if you think about it the relocation could have made it rougher.
Arrow and Vekoma in one?!?! Do not ride this!!!
Coaster Studios hi coaster studios is this still your 2nd least favorite roller coaster
all it needs is to be a stand-up by Togo in China
11darknight10 yeah lol
What?! An Arrow AND a Vekoma coaster! Oh my, what could be worse? Combine the world's most notorious coaster manufacturers for rough coasters and what do you get? A quick trip to the ICU...
+Theme Park Attraction I rode this 7 times in a row yesterday. My body is in pain....
You poor thing... Don't ever get on a Larson 22m Loop or a stand-up EVER... Get some rest, ice and bandages to stop the blood rushing from your ears... Get better... :P
-Antonio
To be honest, it wasn't that bad. I had fun while I was on it. Just really sore after. On the boss, you feel the pain the entire time. Both still really good and fun rides, just pretty rough. On the ninja I was able to keep my head from rattling around.
Nerd at Play True... There is actually a method where you extend your head past the restraint and turn it sideways a bit and it actually minimizes the head banging quite a bit...
+Theme Park Attraction I don't even have to do that. I was able to look around even.
You know what would be cool? I think it would be cool if Six Flags Painted the Ninja Green, replaced the ninja statues with ninja turtle statues and changed the neme of the ride from The Ninja To Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Ride
good one
They would have to pay for the rights to use them. It definitely needs a repaint though.
RantCity what is wrong with you
They already have that at the moa
Or Turlte Power
I have rode this coaster many times, and I never get a headache afterwards and also my neck does not hurt either. This is an awesome ride, my 3rd favorite at the park, behind the Batman and the Boss.
My favorite part is the corkscrews. It may be because it's the smoothest part of the ride
Dooble mine is the when your in the station
@@sharkboy8me938 Mine is the midcoarse brakerun when we are actually on the ride
I love this ride it's just that your head bangs back side to side on the thing that keeps you inside the ride. My head was hurting a bit afterwards but the ride is fun! {ps dont judge i forgot what the safety strap or w/e it is called D:}
Have you even looked at Texas Giant and Iron Rattler, they look absolutley INSANE. RMC coasters are going where no woodie has ever gone before.
@crossbones64 read the description, it was started by Arrow, finished by Vekoma, that means this opened sometime in 2003... Pretty sad for ninjas :/
This is the one that originally made me a roller coaster enthusiast, when I reluctantly got on it in August of 1994 at the age of 17. I've been able to ride it at least once during each of my 3 subsequent visits (2004, 2010 & 1013). Though it didn't seem quite as intense this last time, I still enjoyed the ride.
When i went that ride was so rough. It hurt my neck!
A little factoid, this Coaster was built in Vancouver BC on the old Expo lands for Expo 86 a Worlds Fair to celebrate Vancouver's 100th Birthday!
When the fair was over after almost 6 months, the assets were disposed of at auction including this ride which was called The Scream Machine at that time.
High priced condos are what is on the Expo lands now & the arena which was called GM Place & is now Rogers Place where the Vancouver Canucks play is where the Scream Machine AKA Ninja at Six Flags St Louis use to be.
I went on it!
my grandpa helped on engineering on this ride
I believe it.
Tell him his ride hurts
Loving._. Lia he did a terrible job
Da Homie Chris doubt you could do better
Bruh is your grandpa satan?
Protip:
Let this one be your last ride of the day. The headaches it induces will prevent you from riding anything else after. It bangs your head left-right-left-right in the "headrest." It even made one of my ears bleed.
This ride has a lot of similar elements to Anaconda at Kings Dominion. Only differences are no butterfly element and more track on the back end after the double corkscrew.
When I was a kid, this thing was always either broken down or broke down while there. So thanks for letting me ride it finally XD
Well it has some good theming. It beats you up and ninjas beat you up
my favorite part is the lift hill or brake run in the middle or the end
This was The Scream Machine from Vancouver's Expo 86. Such wonderful memories, glad the ole girl is still providing joy to so many so many years later.
Sadly she not aged well and lots of hatred is drawn towards it. Ninja has become a brutal experience. This ride is so unbearably rough that’s it’s often criticized as one of the worst looping coasters of all time.
The most jarring part of this ride has gotta be the entrance into the helix. There's a section right at the beginning there where the train does a little back-and-forth shimmy, rocking your head side to side, and slamming your ears into the shoulder restraints in the process.
@frenchfrey65 back in the 90's that was a ninja. it was a cutting edge coaster at some point. give the oldies a chance!
This was my first roller coaster
Mine too!
I'm very sorry
@@chloebaloneyxx yea no joke..
@@thetreblerebel I'm gonna ride this tommorow, what should I do to not get a bad headache
@@chloebaloneyxx what should you do to not get a headache? Ride it.
All that was in my mind at this point was 'I am ninja she is ninja he is ninja too!
Young people don't appreciate these coasters because they actually are forceful. These are thrill rides. They were built to be rough. They were built to have tight, fast loops.
Head forward. Breathe.
Best rides left. Beats the hell out of all these smooth B&M's popping up everywhere.
Going to six flags stl tomorrow this is my favorite ride (so excited!!!!)
Fears of coaster hobbyists may be getting closer to realization, the transformation of wood coasters to steel coasters. Tx. Giant, Rattler, Boss. I know these coasters had major problems due to high upkeep cost to remain ride-able. My fear is that wooden greats with otherwise-correctable/less major problems will get Iron Horse Track just to be more cost-effective in the long run. Shivering Timbers, Ghostrider, Hades, who's the next woodie to get "horsed around with" because it's not aging well?
Our Ninja is great! St.Louis built that for people to have fun,not to compete with other roller coasters to see which one is best! I live in St.Louis and I love that Ninja! You love your roller coaster and i'm glad your enjoying it,but when you think that your roller coaster is the best than anyone else's keep to your self and don't write it because it can hurt someone's feelings. It hurt me
@dragonballzfan104 that last dude is wrong, that's Mr. Freeze, it's an awesome ride!
Favorite ride
1NICK23 same bro🤜🏻
The mixed reviews of this ride make me worry
This is still an Arrow (according to the brakes' sounds).
I'm just going to say it's still an Arrow Dynamics custom looper (which in actuality, it basically is) because of the track.
BryceFourn 2001 There are many vekoma rides that use ARROW trains, ergo the brakes' sound.
Tony Kim It's SO true, because it was originally built by Arrow. :)
BryceFourn 2001 It looks more like an Arrow Dynamics coaster. Vekoma's track is similar, but doesn't look like it on this coaster.
Actually Arrow started it and Vekoma finished it, like a hybrid between the 2 companies
This one was already rough when Six Flags got it. Still fun though !
Haven't ridden this ride since the 90s, still get a headache thinking about it.
One thing I remember from this ride it that it shakes a lot and hurts to ride. It makes your head ache in pain from hitting the head rest.
This roller coaster is too rough for me. I cant ride it without feeling light headed
No.. THE KEY IS TO KINDA HUG THE "SEAT BELT" OR WHATEVER ITS CALLED AND TO KEEP YOUR SHOULDERS UP AND HEAD BACK ..WORKS EVERYTIME I DO IT AND YOU GET NO HEADACHES
Even though it is not a boomerang, it reminds me of the sidewinder
What is sidewinder
Haha, I LOVED this ride as a kid. Every summer my family visited the park and I just had to ride this coaster. My poor Dad had to ride along, because I was the only one who liked the "scary" rides.
The ride is like super fun! It dosent really hurt that muchhh!!!!! i mean u will feel ur head going from side to side but ull be fine! ur gonna live
I just saw Batman: The Ride going Updike down. Did you see that Coasterforce?
I'm someone who can barely handle roller coasters in the first place. I mainly go because my friends want me to go and I stand and hold their bags until the end. From them, I've been told this is the worst ride out of all them at Six Flags here in STL. I can tell you that if I can ever get over roller coasters, I won't be riding this one at all in my lifetime.
So did Arrow design the ride, while Vekoma just built the track for it, or did Arrow Dynamics build some of it, and then Vekoma completed the rest?
dear coasterforce,
have you ever been injured on a ride, if so what ride?
Jetscream.
Oh, my bad, long gone, but it would have been the perfect first looper...for anybody, really.
I concur with Batman. Looks really intense with lots of inversions, but these coasters are extremely smooth, even gentle in an intense sort of way!
I'm going there in a couple of weeks. This ride was painful. My friend's ear was bleeding from where she had a piercing. The ride shook our heads the whole time. Hopefully it's not as shaky like it was a couple of yrs ago
I rode this up in Vancouver BC during Expo '86. At that time it was called the Scream Machine
Yeah, Flight Deck is very smooth. Not very thrilling though. What about Tennessee Tornado at Dollywood? I haven't been there and I'm considering it. I'd like to know if the Tornado is anything like this though. It's loops look larger and smoother. I know it was one of the last rides Arrow made, but is it smooth?
That gave me so much anxiety
I love how the kid in the background said we should ride it again.
i went on this for the first time monday and my back and neck hurts i was screaming and brooke haad to scream the ride was over to get me to shut up and wait to pull a luke luke
Great for beginners who have yet to experience upside down coasters! Not to fast, but not slow and boring! I didn't think it jerked around at all! If you hold on tight an of your at least 5"5 XD lol
Would you say this Ninja coaster or the one at Six Flags Over Georgia is better?
To everyone who has never rode this coaster (Be warned) that the coaster can make you suffer small pains such as headaches, windburn, or just the loud sound can pester your ears, However this is a safe and fun ride!
Just like its sibling at Six Flags Over Georgia! >_
which one is better this or the one at six flags over Georgia?
Best ride in the park hands down
Hey CoasterForce, what do you guys think should be my first looping coaster at six flags st louis?
i'm with you! I just gave Tryce Sirus a good comment! i'm glad we agree
Seems like this park needs a refresher....something new. Instead of relocating a boomerang how about investing in a B&M Hyper Coaster? It wouldn't hurt. Seems like a nice park just needs to be rounded off with a modern coaster.
Haha first time riding this ride just recently. Amazing ride.
Everyone says this ride is rough but it’s really smooth in my opinion
This ride hurts so much.
TheLuckyDiamond I know that's why I LOVE it
@MegaCokeboy ohh i only have to read the discription..., but why have they the same tracks??
I miss arrow so badly.
this one actually didn't hurt at all for me, and i rode it 3 times cuz i loved it so much. i think i kept my head really still though so it didn't hit the restraints
I got on that ride when I was 14 and it was my first roller coaster.Call me a pussy but that ride scared the shit out of me.I was so fucked up during the ride I couldn't even scream,I was holding on to dear life.
Mine to but i was 19 all i did on that was cures and scream and ask my friend if it was almost over
I'm very disappointed to just learn Boss is getting Iron Horse. This was one of the few CCI woodies I had left to ride, which stinks because it's not terribly far from my Waco, TX. home (relatively). Damn! CCI coasters are some of the most thrilling in the world, but don't seem to age well without more extensive & costly maintenance/upkeep than other woodies. I know Tx. Giant is a wonderful ride with Iron Horse, but I won't favor a woodie transforming into a steelie, unless it'll be destroyed.
I look this up because its my favorite
It looks painful. Does it give you whiplash? I heard it does.
They say this goes 55 mph, it looks WAY slower. It looked 35 mph tops.
my 1st roller coaster ride
I live In St. Louis and that ride hurts ur head cuz the bars go over ur head and it bangs side to side
what part did Vekoma do and what part did Arrow do?
@ThisisKingHenry it would be impossible to use a steadicam on a rollercoaster. Wouldn't help much either.
This was basically one of three coasters for a long time at the park and it's OK for its age. I don't seem to bang my head or get off in pain or with a headache and I've been on it at least 5 times between the ages of 8 and 28... People are too sensitive or something.
Chad Mathey WHY DO PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT JET SCREAM GOD jet scream got removed for Batman but people should remember it
rode this yesterday, was very fun but can be very jerky and hurt your neck. I found that leaning back with my head touching the seat helped, so it didn't whip me around. 7.5/10
BATMAN!!! it also helps it the first ride you will come to if when u enter the park u go right instead of left :) be prepared for a long line though...Batman ALWAYS has a long line but it goes fast.
This coaster is very rough
yes i agree
+Clay McLean : Amen it's time they rip this S.O.B out of the park it served its time
So technically, this coaster is by Arrow Dynamics
at 1:55 what is that black roller coaster with those things sticking up at the loop on the right? is that the batman?
This ride gave me such bad whiplash I could not ride anymore roller coasters the whole day!
I cried the first time I rode this a few years back....>_> we were coming up the hill too.
You can even hear people yell ow! going through the loops.
looks like it needs a new paint job :/, and i hate to be mean, but with a name like Ninja, you'd expect it to be like a B&M Invert or flying, or a B&M mega, a custom looper mostly made by Vekoma doesn't do Ninjas justice!
Funny this is this coaster is from Expo '86, in Vancouver, then brought to STL
I hate this ride. it bangs your ears against the insides of the harness and is not very fun. I always have a headache when I am done!
It bangs your ears? That's why it's called the Ninja! Lol. I love this ride but, my favorite one was the Orient Express at World's of Fun in Kansas City which was built in 1980 and torn down in 2003.
I hate it too. You shouldn't be beat up on a ride that's supposed to be fun. Ninja name or not.
SnowflakeDancer331
i hate it too
SnowflakeDancer331 same
I love it even though it kills me and then I get on Mr. Freeze.
KewlNerd20X6 no. no it was not. the first steel coaster at the park was river king mine train in 1971. and ninja at six flags magic mountain was built a year before this.
Ride the ninja they said. It will be smooth they said.
I've been on this ride. That bar at 1:09 is still there. 4 years and they haven't gotten rid of it. It literally looks like it can decapitate you.
+LateNightLurkin that chain was there even back in the late-80's when it opened in Six Flags over Mid America, lka Six Flags St Louis.
LateNightLurkin I think it's a fun near miss element
fav ride always will be
you need to ride more rides!
Gee
Evan Cogdill yassss same
Pffft! Our Ninja is bigger, badder, and much more swift than yours. Sincerely, Six Flags over Georgia.
is it vekoma?? or arrow dynamics??
What are the smoothest, and roughest Arrow rides in your opinion? And do you think this is more rough than Vortex at King's Island?
I know you're not asking me, but this is the easiest question ever. The roughest Arrow I've ridden is by far Carolina Cyclone, and the smoothest one is Tennessee Tornado, which is almost B&M levels of smooth. Plus it was designed by Alan Schilke.
I love Arrow coasters, but they could be a little smoother
who are the screaming people in the back ground? they are screaming at the corners!
Corkscrew Coaster 1 looks too intense for me!
@frenchfrey65 it got a paint job and now it says stride gum all over it
Its ok it hurts ur back and most of the time u walk away with a Headache. Its acctually not a bad ride
