I ♥️ Williams, AZ!
We stay there when we visit the Grand Canyon, so delightful!
I absolutely love Williams, the whole town is so nice and the scenery amazing.
that’ll change keep putting more roller coasters and destroying the wildlife we need more Californians move up here that’s what we need.hell no
I'm from Cali can't wait come check it out
@@benjaminmcneil4492 as a Arizona native the LAST fuckin thing we need is more Californian’s coming here!!
If you're white, lots of racism and guns in Williams
@@garywashburn7920 last thing as any place needs.
Lot of negative reactions, if you don't like don't go. It all sounds amazing, can't wait for my next visit to Williams!!!🎢
You're right ... not voicing your opinion is the American way😆
I’ve been there before, it was so much fun. I will say it’s one of the greatest roller coasters in Arizona.
Finally rode this coaster. Way faster than it looks on these videos. Was awesome! Their GoPros on the cars were down that record video of you going down when I was up. Will go back up again!
Those rides look pretty boss!! The scenery looks absolutely beautiful
Just rode it. It was pretty intense. Speed, sharp turns, bunny hops. Etc
Oh yeah Saint-Sauveur mount here in quebec has had one for years. it's great in the winter!
Just slow enough for big foot to grab you through the trees lmao 🤣 🛤🌲🦶
I'm done.
Or a wild animal
Similar to big bear lake California it was an awesome ride really fast! It just opened up too 😃
Park City, UT has a mountain coaster just like this near the Olympic Park
It should be cheaper tho, I believe it's 20 dollars for one ride which is quite pricey but still looks fun. I'm just a cheapskate for rides 💀 that town is beautiful tho and I love that they do these in small towns, no need to do it in the middle of Phoenix
I can see a slow rider being a drag, I ain't touchin the brake so that automatic "smart cart" best stop. lol
Logical place, the temp aren’t as 🥵 hot in the summer. Williams is beautiful area.
Absolutely. I grew up in Prescott and would love to move back home!!!!!
They have that in Glenwood springs adventure park!!!!
How long is it
They have a very similar experience in Lake Tahoe that I take my kids to plus they have huge zip lines
Woohoo, can't wait to go!!!
The rides and food look amazing!😮👍👍👍
Been wanting to move to Williams for the last 2 years and with this addition I really really wish we can move there now, I guess I'll have to settle to vacation there next year.
Williams Arizona is a very racist and homophobic town, just so you know.
I'm ready to go ride the rides!👍👌✌️
I sk got to go to Williams, Az and check this park out.
This was a blast!!
Neat, it looks fun. It reminds of the mountain coaster rides in Switzerland.
Right On! Super Cool! 👌 😎
This is amazing and what they should do for the people
For a state that lacks rollercoasters, I will take it :) I hope it is as impressive as it looks!
It is! I've ridden it and It is awesome!
i love williams, very pretty place
Hmm, I think instead of a 360 degree corkscrew, the reporter meant, "a 360 degree helix. A corkscrew is an inversion that rotates riders 360 degrees from the side.
Wow that nice. Have to make a trip out there. What I love is they thought about how not to be using water with how much this works is in a drought.
Il be there Soon !!!
It's neat cause of the scenic.
Come check out Adventure park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado! There is one of these and many more very cool rides to ride from a giant swing thats swings out into the Glenwood canyon or take a haunted mine drop in pitch black and fall 120 feet in 2.2 seconds!
For sure we will visit that!!! Getting hot here in phx time to chill there😎
I don't use brakes!
Breathtaking!!!!
Very Cool
I rode this in July
I'm there. All you whiners stay home
Well it's about time they have something out there I was going to live in Arizona and maybe I will now
Wifi? Wifi? I have telsa
What is Wiliams? haha. I grew up in Arizona and have never heard of that place in my life.
Lmfao 😂
The Same Happened With Me With Pecos Texas😅😅😅
Its one of the first stops on route 66, and is the town that the movie Cars got it's design based from.
@@amixtwonder Cars was inspired by Seligman, not Williams.
I have been living in Texas my whole life, and there are many towns that I have never heard of or been to.
I love Williams, love me some Kaibab, I'll do it.
Fun!
That’s where we took the train to the Grand Canyon
Nice town, where you turn to go to Grand Canyon.
Why do news anchors still report with that old style news voice? Pretty sure we’d get the point if she talked normally.
I want to get there. Need some fun in the sun
They have had these 45 years ago. I’m sure the technology is better but Wisconsin had the same when I was a kid.
The scariest part of this ride is thinking you’re going to crash into the person in front of you.
Nice
Sketchy
4.45 for gas though.. it's 3.89 here in expensive ass denver
I’ve been wondering for years why we didn’t pair our fine weather in the fact we have mountains into this very thing!!!
Dude, they have these in places like Switzerland and Germany.
Except this isn't Switzerland or Germany.
4.45 for gas... saw that lol
Looks like fun!!!
Will any animals chase me ???💀🥺
thats the longest roller coaster in Arizona,.
First of its kind? They have had this in Big Bear California for some time....unless i am misunderstanding that maybe the first of its kind in Arizona.
Maybe they meant first of it's kind because they are smart carts.
Big bear ca has the exact same coaster in the mountains too. My kids liked it. And they had a few other rides available too
13th comment ´.
Also in austria, we allready have those
I have a feeling we’re-about to see a lot more natural selection 😂
This is so cool haha!
He has bell bottoms on! 😂 If I had a million dollars, this is exactly what I would do, and get old cars on roller to go on a tract as well.
7-10 minutes? Let’s make it 2 minutes 😈
Williams here I come
So….are you telling me William’s Arizona has more than a beer 🍺 selling store
Right before the next recession. Not cool 🤔. The one down eloy never got up and running. At least I don’t recall it ever getting done.
Wow! Looks so unsafe. 🤦🏽♀️
Right that's what I was thinking 🤔
I'm gonna do it! You guys should too
@@jnolette1030 I’ll watch…..😵💫
They have the same thing near Mt. Rushmore. It’s safe. Way more expensive and less things to do here though.
Actually it's really safe....we have these all over Europe...little kids ride them....Im talking like 6 year olds...
Looks like a dump. Where was the beautiful view? All I saw was beetle eaten dead pines
😆
hard to beat fking castles n’ coasters.. time to tear it down
The food looks contaminated
Barfing on the ride adds ambiance.
No ! thank you!
the worst part as as you leave the park you realize you are still in Arizona!
What's wrong with that?
gas is 4.45
Pollution
Smart carts are really cool? I don't think it's particularly cool to have the ride automatically slow a rider down because the rider in front of them is descending at a significantly slower rate. That was basically my main complaint about other alpine coasters I've seen footage of on this platform. Often, the person recording the video would need to reduce their speed quite a bit because they would catch up to the rider in front of them who is riding the brakes practically the entire way down the track.
I would request that they provide adequate spacing between me and the rider in front of me because I want to go full bore the entire length down. Granted, I don't want my manner of enjoying the ride to interfere with anybody else's enjoyment. However, I don't want somebody else's manner of enjoyment of this ride to interfere with my enjoyment either . . . and logic would dictate that the type of rider who would have their enjoyment reduced the most by other riders are the ones who enjoy going top speed.
So, how is it fair that both slow and fast riders have to pay the same ticket price, and yet the slow riders are allowed to go whatever speed they desire, even if it detracts from other riders' enjoyment, yet the fast riders just have to tolerate it when other (slow) riders lessen their enjoyment from the ride??? Now, there are "smart carts" that ensure the faster riders get screwed more by making sure that once they hit that eighty feet separation limit, brakes are automatically employed!!! No, that is NOT cool! Let me guess, you set the riders off from the start with a distance of ninety feet between them?
These rides look like they could potentially be a lot of fun . . . that is until you, blaring down the side of the mountain at 25 mph catch up to little Timmy, and his grandmother with the cruise control set to 7 mph. Some type of system must be designed to allow riders of all speeds to derive their maximum enjoyment from these alpine coasters.
Ok Karen
thats one place i will get to see moving to az next year
I hope you're not moving in from California!
@@SJT81 hes already got his tent packed
If a wild cat attacks don’t kill the wild life your in there territory
lol I say shoot them on site
love that shit food too
The town will be saturated with californios soon 😒.
Let’s fuckin hope not!
@@garywashburn7920 It is happening in Nogy and Rio Rico! It will happen there too!! 💁🤷
@@DavidBustamanteda-bu-sa don't worry, Williams inbreeding will continue, and trust me, Californian DO NOT want to move to Williams. Your confederate and trump flag waving white supremist city council will keep your tradition of racism, hatred, ignorance and, lest we forget, guns guns guns.... Williams is a cesspool
so the Helmet Bob is the official state haircut for ladies in Arizona. newsladies CEO lady bet the Scottsdale Dames are all bobbed and fluffed just like these two
The only good thing about this is that it is in unit 8.
Lame
what the worst view from the top, destroying everything and then cheering WOW it s amazing... it looks horrible, they didn t even try to blend it in the forest...
There we go another hit for the poor wild life now all freaked states and towns are gonna want to do the same thing and the wild life don’t have no where to go cause they are gonna have stupid people yelling
The forest is a pretty big place. I’m sure the animals won’t mind
🙄’
*hits a deer*
One of a kind ? They are all over Germany
But they're not smart carts.
Guess how much it costs? LMAO!
$20
Yeahhh idk arizona i love ya but im not going for rollercoaster of death
Looks fun but is ugly as hell. Way to ruin the natural beauty of the area.
Agree ugly as hell
Pointless entertainment and completely inconsiderate of wildlife. Is this really what's up important right now? The whole world is going crazy, resources are drying up, inflation is on the rise and people are like "wr should build a rollercoaster" 😐
I day the park makes $ in 1 day can fix the homeless probably down there
Homeless mess can not be solved with only money...there are many more reasons than money that people are homeless and. One polluting, nature ruining roller coaster won't solve the problem.
It's something special to really get the feel of nature...on a fucking roller coaster 😢
I’ve never liked these coasters because it allows u to control how fast the people behind you go.. if I want to go fast and a person in front of me doesn’t I’m stuck behind them.. this is a no go for me 👎
Ruining that town
0:35 “Row-T 66?” Who else heard nails on a chalkboard? 🫣🫢
