We need more rides of this level. Though SFA might need a new extreme ride, I wouldn't mind if this were retracked with Titan track without changing the layout at all. (I know it was retracked with wood track recently.)
So much nostalgia because of Roar at Discovery Kingdom. I still remember the exact locations of turns because of the other parts of the park I could see from them. I wish the Discovery Kingdom one was simply retracted instead of converted.
I missed this back in 2017 when I visited the park for the first time, I missed this and Superman (both down due to technical issues). A return visit is required.
@@RapidZCoasters you can see where it was retracked on the video. Certainly ir wasnt all the problem spots I recall on this thing. Although the camera isvstabilized, you can still the train bouncing between the siderails. It will be intersting to see how much better than it was last year, considering it was pretty much unrideable last year.
Honestly, since they transformed this ride's twin across the country... RMC should totally redo this ride too. Six Flags should pay for it. RMC has done a lot of rides since ROAR/Joker at SFDK, and would be able to do even crazier things with this clone, now. They'd give SFA a TRUE destination ride (Superman is fantastic, but an RMC would really seal the deal!)
I might need to go over there and ride it now that it is more smooth. I keep hearing that it should get the RMC treatment, but perhaps it should be kept as is since RMC already reworked it's West Coast counterpart.
@@Derangedlefty I have to disagree. Millennium Flyers are known to make wooden coasters smoother. Sure, some situations might make the ride even rougher, but hey 9/10 the ride gets better.
I’m planning on visiting the Washington DC/Baltimore area later this summer, and I might just visit Six Flags America during my trip (along with Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg) and might just give this coaster a ride. I say later this summer (Mid-to-late August) because before then I plan to take a trip to Philadelphia and visit Dorney Park and Hershey Park.
@@aidan1625 I thought more weight makes it crawl? Remember psyclone and magic mountain, how the heavy b&m trains made it crawl through the layout. And I hope roar gets RMC'd, Alan Schilke can probably make it different than joker
@@RapidZCoasters I think it just has to be the right weight. If it's too heavy it crawls, but if it's too light like the millennium flyers, it would also crawl. There has to be a balance which is what the ptc trains give it.
I see the section they retracked was the worst spot on the ride last year I rode it. I’m hoping to see if this will actually redeem itself this year. And I’m going front row this time. Not like there’s any other good row on it.
Spotted you at BGW today by tempesto! Holy crap was it crowded. Also, kinda sad they retracked some of Roar, makes me realize it’s going to stay the same for a couple more seasons.
Is this actually a very similar (or maybe exact?) layout as the old Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom? It looks like it has pretty similar layout to the current Joker at SFDK, just without the inversions.
@@CoasterStudios why they didn't finish is beyond me. The last time I was at Six Flags America, I remember getting jackhammered by this ride. Either completely retrack it, Titan Track it, or RMC it in my opinion
Millennium Flyers and Titan track or just RMC it!!! This park has to make a decision to compete or get out of game. I gave up my season pass because BGW and Hershey Park are putting forth a better effort. It’s a shame because the DMV has a huge population!!!
Definitely one of the weaker GCIs but still highly overhated by enthusiasts. I don't care about rough rides so I really enjoyed this! But comparing it to other GCIs like Gold Striker, Thunderhead, or even Apocalypse it just isn't as good unfortunately. I can see why SFDK RMCd their version.
One day we’ll stop wasting time, money and resources and quit retracking wooden coasters with wood only to have them go to s*** a few years later. Save for a few classics, RMC and Titan track everything I say.

POVS just keeps getting better! remember when you used to have bad quality pov, now you have one of the best povs in the coaster community!
false
RMC would have a field day with this one. I just hope they wouldn't name it something weird like Iron Roar
It'd just become Joker, like it's west coaster counterpart at Discovery Kingdom!
@@ThyPandora roar got retracked recently and I'm gonna sound weird for saying this but roar is running better than ever
It could be called RMC: "Roar Made Cooler"
@@ThyPandora considering jokers jinx is in the same park I’m gonna hope not
"Twisted Iron Roar"
Good length ride, nice kinda coaster for people who don't want extreme but don't fancy a kiddie ride either :)
or for people who want bruises and a headache. please rmc and six flags 🙏🙏
We need more rides of this level. Though SFA might need a new extreme ride, I wouldn't mind if this were retracked with Titan track without changing the layout at all. (I know it was retracked with wood track recently.)
@@victorrrrm they retract it so it’s not jackhammer anymore
So much nostalgia because of Roar at Discovery Kingdom. I still remember the exact locations of turns because of the other parts of the park I could see from them. I wish the Discovery Kingdom one was simply retracted instead of converted.
Maybe it was because of the camera position, but roar did look pretty smooth! That retracking must've worked!
I missed this back in 2017 when I visited the park for the first time, I missed this and Superman (both down due to technical issues). A return visit is required.
Yeah I noticed the retracking and new lumber installed. A little smoother, but I'd really like the RMC treatment here.
Super underrated. I liked this one more than Superman and have it tied with Wild One in the park
Lol I love this coaster! Good times!! Weeeee!!
mom you’ve literally never ridden this -sarah
Oh…my bad 😅 I thought this was the old wooden one I loved Hahaa!! 😬
Maybe you should try getting a job?
@@howenator oh I work 50 some hours a week thanks!! I don’t want another job 🤓
@@jacquelineanderson4309 geez a 10-5. I can’t do that and I’m young, good job Sarah’s Mom keep up the good work
Is this ride perfectly smooth or is the camera just really stable?
Hahaha, this coaster is a rough piece of shot, worse than wildcat IMO
@@vicjaxon4474 it got retracked recently and surprisingly, roar is running better than ever

@@porcelainthunder2213 where the old track is, I wouldn't say it's rough but I wouldn't say it's glossy smooth tho
Both!

This ride does need Millennium Flyer trains!
The re-tracked sections looks great!
always a fan of the content, good stuff
Wow, your of a fan of disrespecting dead people, that's pathetic.
I might need to go over there and ride it now that it is more smooth. I keep hearing that it should get the RMC treatment, but perhaps it should be kept as is since RMC already reworked it's West Coast counterpart.
i kinda wanna see gci do a full titan re track ngl on this it seems cool
This ride looks to have a bright future! Maybe they can even add Millennium Flyers
Edit: Can you guys do a review?
I honestly hope they don’t. I think the PTCs provide a smoother ride experience.
@@Derangedlefty I have to disagree. Millennium Flyers are known to make wooden coasters smoother. Sure, some situations might make the ride even rougher, but hey 9/10 the ride gets better.
@RingsDaGamer6 there’s been a few other ones that once had PTCs but were upgraded to Millennium Flyers.
@RingsDaGamer6 exactly

would be so nice for us non US viewers if you put in your videos the measures in meters and km/h too 🥺
Height: 29 m
Drop: 27 m
Top speed: 82 km/h
Length: 1057 m
That ride needed it for sure
I don't think this will get RMCed cause that retrack, or at least it won't for a long time. I wonder how it feels now.
We need the boys from Idaho for this one.
That looked smooth!
no it really didnt
I'd still give it Millennium Flyers to keep it smooth.
@juiceboxer100 I'm really weird but I like the PTC trains more. I don't know why
@@RapidZCoasters it gives the trains more weight, so it's probably a little faster than the clone at discovery kingdom. I hope this gets rmc'd tho
@@aidan1625 I thought more weight makes it crawl? Remember psyclone and magic mountain, how the heavy b&m trains made it crawl through the layout. And I hope roar gets RMC'd, Alan Schilke can probably make it different than joker

@@aidan1625 that makes sense👍
Underappreciated woodie in my opinion, wouldnt mind it being RMCed tho
It was awesome meeting you in Busch Gardens when I was on spring break, sorry about being rude and awkward, I was really nervous 😬
All good, thank you for saying hi!
@@CoasterStudios also it was fun riding alpengeist with ya!
incredible!
Not really.....
Was a pleasure meeting you today by Candymonium! Only got a few rides but Skyrush is still kickin'!! Keep up the awesome content!
This is so cool
I like roar a lot because it’s fun but it is pretty rough
Thank you for the video
No problem
I see the section they retracked was the worst spot on the ride last year I rode it. I’m hoping to see if this will actually redeem itself this year. And I’m going front row this time. Not like there’s any other good row on it.
Solid POV. Great job sir 👏🏻
Went to SF Great America today and road Superman and if you would look to the right you would see Black support gates and shipping containers.
my legs hurt watching this
I missed my chance again 😭. I wanted to go to sfa during spring break... IF I WENT THE SAME DAY YOU DID I WOULD'VE CRIED OF HAPPINESS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Keep doing you Taylor, the cancel culture comes for everyone. Don’t bend the knee. You will be fine
Spotted you at BGW today by tempesto! Holy crap was it crowded. Also, kinda sad they retracked some of Roar, makes me realize it’s going to stay the same for a couple more seasons.
when you were here, did you get a pov shot of batwing?
Yes
I was on roar not too long ago and it doesn’t feel much different
I wonder why this one didn't get an RMC upgrade like the one at Discovery Kingdom did?
Probably because SFA is one of those parks where six flags "doesn't spend a lot of money on"
@@thefuturek1ng230 yeah you’re probably right lol!
@@thefuturek1ng230 I mean, SFDK only gets clones lol
Is this actually a very similar (or maybe exact?) layout as the old Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom? It looks like it has pretty similar layout to the current Joker at SFDK, just without the inversions.
Yes, same exact ride.
Was this a bad ride? Someone rode it in 2009 and it was better than in 2019.
They need to go ahead and make this a rmc this coaster is rough. Make sure you wear a helmet when you ride lol
Hypersmooth at a million
RMC makeovers are extremely inexpensive, there is no excuse why this ride couldn’t have gotten the RMC treatment at least four years ago.
Will you all be posting a vlog for Six Flags America?
God, I hope not
that sure was a coaster allright
Did they retrack that one section, or is it just the way the sun was shining on it? The track looks newer
It’s been retracked!
@@CoasterStudios why they didn't finish is beyond me. The last time I was at Six Flags America, I remember getting jackhammered by this ride. Either completely retrack it, Titan Track it, or RMC it in my opinion

Did they do retracting on this ride, some of the sections of track looked brand new
Yes, and I used to hate this ride but now it is running better than ever
@@RapidZCoasters I haven’t had the opportunity to ride it but it looks more enjoyable from what I’ve seen
I was actually just there today lol
Peter Schwab would approve
Facts
Lots of new wood but looked smooth yet slow
This was my very first rollercoaster. 🥹
When are the vlogs coming?
Soon!
It seems like the framerate of how this is exported doesn't match the original footage. The fps is really low.
Everything was exported at the proper frame rate
Was this after the retrack?
Yes!
Roar review? 🤞
Definitely one of the weaker GCIs but still highly overhated by enthusiasts. I don't care about rough rides so I really enjoyed this! But comparing it to other GCIs like Gold Striker, Thunderhead, or even Apocalypse it just isn't as good unfortunately. I can see why SFDK RMCd their version.
This ride gets way too much hate, wild one is really just an uncomfortable or painful experience, hate on that instead
Roar looks like a smooth Roller Coaster. Smoother than El Toto is. (Sorry El Toro Fans.)
Its not.
It’s not. That’s just great camera work by Taylor!!!
Brav- unusual , see you later, 🤙
Oh no… I hope you had advil. Needs retract or RMC BAD.
It already was retracked
they re-tracked it for the 2022 season. it’s a lot smoother than before
It just got retracked so an RMC conversion won’t be happening anytime soon.
This would destroy wildcat revenge if it ever was iron horsed’
My home park
this ride is fun idk y ppl are so mf picky
Rode this in 2005 and it was unbearably rough. One of the worst rides I've had on any coaster.
Why does this layout exist 💀
wild one is better
even tho its smooth now , its still boring as heck
This is one of the worst rides I have ever ridden
It's got retracked recently and it runs great now
this is one of the worst channels ive ever seen (Im talking coaster studios, yours is top teir)
By far the worst wood roller coaster I ever rode it is super rough on your body and head would not recommend anyone to ride
One day we’ll stop wasting time, money and resources and quit retracking wooden coasters with wood only to have them go to s*** a few years later. Save for a few classics, RMC and Titan track everything I say.
