I rode this in 1986 when it was "the Scream Machine" at Expo '86 in Vancouver. It was my 2nd looping coaster since Lightning Loops; the launched Arrow shuttle looper at Six Flags Great Adventure in 1981, the lower of which which is now at Frontier City. Like the back seat POV, thanks for posting!
Well believe me, it is not. When I look at Six Flags St. Louis' Ninja, all I see is pain and gravestones. Full disclosure, I know this ride won't actually kill you, I'm just havin some fun
@@weslangford5137um I don't need to be rude, but if you seriously think this ride is fun then you've gotta ride more roller coasters. I can name 20 or 30 rides right off the top of my head better than Ninja, and even Arrow makes the list. Arrow Development/Huss/Dynamics was not a bad manufacturer at all, Ninja just sucks because it was finished by the people who gave us all the SLCs(excluding Riddler Revenge at Six Flags New England and Great Nor'easter at Morey's Piers because those are actually good), Super Menège at La Ronde in Canada(sorry Canadians, no offense, peace and love towards y'all eh), and oh yeah Gouderix at Parc Astèrix in Paris. So screw this ride
I don't know how you did it Coaster Habitat, but you've made this coaster look way smoother than it actually is. Six Flags St. Louis just needs to remove this coaster. I got off and I said "Wow, I need a Ibuprofen so that's a one-and-done. Yeah, I'll pass on ridin that again." Screw you Ninja. I guess the name is fitting because ninjas beat you up and this Arrow/Vekoma roller coaster beat me to a pulp. Even though I'm someone who can tolerate roughness, Vekoma is currently my worst manufacturer. Yeah, even worse than TOGO. Go figure
@@GatewayTokaysMM yeah it's not bad. And I rode it in the back so that probably had somethin to do with it. Vekoma just isn't one of my favorite manufacturers, but I do like boomerangs the best, if you don't count Blue Hawk or Disney Vekoma coasters

That’s looks really fun.
It is!!
The drop is good but then it’s very janky afterwards

Really? Vekoma also has Boomerang in the same park, which is very smooth, yanks you a bit, but not rough at all.
@@GatewayTokaysMM um a bit? It's Vekoma, and honestly it's just ok
@@clintparker Personally I didn’t even get headbanging on the ride, expect for on the lift hill. A yank on the cobra roll, and that’s it.

@@GatewayTokaysMM yeah that cobra roll is bad no matter where you sit
Is it really that rough?
The Sidewinder is shakey, but the roughness is greatly exaggerated, there are rougher coasters in the same park
Yes but lean your head back an straight or back and to the right or left and your head should get less bumped around😊
