Don't talk To me honestly it’s not that bad, it just feels high on the way up, it’s super fast on the way down so you barely even notice it and it’s super fun, one of my fave rides!
@@chouseification well yes there’s that. But I also just know just cause I live in Shakopee. And have lived in the twin cities and it’s suburbs my entire life. Have rode wild thing many many times and know at the top of the hill you’re facing the east where the sun rises. If you’re at VF and want to catch a dope sunset I would suggest riding renegade at the time it sets. 💯
@DiddyKong41 You're talking to somebody who very vividly remembers Valleyfair before Corkscrew was installed. The park actually was a lot more fun way back in the day, but it's still pretty fun.
I was so scared to ride this and went on it & realized it was the best ride ever. Went on it a total of 3 times back to back. Such a good coaster. Love the sunset
I looked this up because when I rode it the first time I passed out and the second time I passed out again to I had to experience it on RUclips to see wth I did
Better than it's predecessor Magnum XL-200. I remember as a kid when Excalibur's hill looked huge. Then they doubled its size with Wild Thing. I can't remember my first ride but I must have been very nervous. Now I'm doing 300ft Millennium Force coasters!
I strongly recommend that they lighten off on the breaks halfway through the ride because after that it turns from Wild Thing to Mild Thing (and you shouldn't want that at all).
At least it doesn’t trim at the top of the lift hill like a certain other roller coaster at ValleyFair. But I still have to agree with you. I wonder why they went so heavy on the brakes? Probably same reason lots of coasters do: to lighten the maintenance workload on the trains and possibly the track itself since higher forces = more wear. I’ve heard there are secret ways to ride the coaster at times when the trim brakes are deactivated, although I do not know those secret ways.
I still love WF to this day. Was there next in line the day of its mishap fifteen or so years back but she’s looking better than ever. Thanks for posting ❤
When Wild Thing first opened at Valleyfair I was so afraid of it cause it's so HUGE! Now, I LOVE this ride and try to ride it as many times as I can!! (along with all the other coasters) Can't wait to go to Valleyfair this summer!! 💕🎢🎡🎠
Most nerve-wracking part by far is the lift up LOL Everything else is incredible. I'm a roller coaster and adrenaline junkie and the first hills still get me every time.
200ft hills are becoming the norm now though. You should be used to it. Magnum XL, Valravn, Raging Bull... but yeah the anticipation does build up anxiety. Which is why we love em!
@@joeskis That's what makes it such a great ride! I've ridden this more times than I can count, know exactly what's going to happen and can even time sequences of the ride but it STILL gets my adrenaline going and puts my heart up in my throat for a few seconds.
I went to Valley Fair a month ago and this was my first big ride at Valley Fair, and when we went down the first hill I couldn't breath because of how fast the ride was going through the air.
To everyone who is scarred of this ride so 2 years ago I wouldn’t go on anything I thought I would fall out get sick and then I went on the wild thing and ended up going on every ride a valley fair it is not that bad trust me
the drop looks so tiny on screen, i can assure you you’re about 250+ feet in the air and you start levitating off your seat when you drop, its awesome!
Been on this with friends before.....I was mortified, but I liked the after-feeling for some reason. Saw my picture on the screens after the ride and I looked dead lmao
The first rollercoaster I ever rode when I was 8🥰 I moved away from MN in 2008 and haven’t been there since but definitely want to visit again someday!
Rode this in 8th grade when my muge braver friend talked me into it; by the time we got to the platform, my legs were shaking so badly I could barely stand up!
when you get sad bc corona is most likely taking this whole experience away from you this summer so you watch these videos and get sad bc you miss it and ugh sorry i’m having my little moment
I've never gone on the wild thing. My friends and ex tried pulling me into the line and I sat on the ground. I was VERY difficult to peer pressure haha. The Excalibur and even the Renegade were almost too much for me, since I'm not a roller coaster kinda person. No way in HELL I was doing the wild thing lol
i went to valley fair and there was little kids on it! it’s so fun and if your nervous its ok to be. Just believe in yourself. Just remember if you go on the ride have fun:) Just scream,put your hands up, and have fun!😁
Wild Thing. The name is a great homage to the popular 60s song by The Troggs. I used to ride this again and again when visiting this park, even since the age of 8, and was my very first ride on a hypercoaster, and that I also rode on its sister roller coaster - The Mamba at Worlds of Fun, only the latter has a darker theme. And just as the name of the roller coaster says, it IS wild! Make no mistake, with a ride as intense as this, this makes it the #1 ride in the park for anyone to lose their phones and other items if they can't abide to the loose articles policy. What's hard about people on tech overload putting their items in those storage bins on the other side of the station before boarding the ride? Plus parks these days are putting up signs with damaged loose item examples on display as the result for if anyone bothers to take them on the ride and forgets that loose article containers at the station exist and that there are signs ruling against taking them on the rides.
Every years there’s this group that takes to to valley fair, this year was my first time going and it was really fun, and I enjoyed the rides! Unfortunately I didn’t get to ride this one but definitely going again next year to ride this!
I went on this and survived. I plan going again when I’m 17. No doubt this ride really is mega fun and stuff. I recommend it to anyone who wants some adrenaline early.
When I did this I regretted life when we starting going up then when we went down I legit thought I was coming out the of the strap and legit was screaming so loud
BRO THE DROP WAS INSANE like sitting in your seat YOUR FLOATING WHILE IT DROPS AND IT FEELS LIKE FALLING OUT OF A BUILDING WHILE SOMEONE PUT WEIGHTS ON YOUR BACK 😭😭 i was shaking after riding it 2 times its insane especially that tunnel it’s so unexpected and it gets dark as soon as you enter and they took photos It’s so crazy. Even tho the line is fricken long THE WAIT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT IM TELLING YIU
@@marvelousmari7278 Chill bruh you're replying to a 1 year old comment on a video of an amusement park you can literally go to right now since it isn't lockdown anymore and for what?
I was super scared to ride it…then I did and for the first 3 times I loved it. Then came the 4th time and we sat in the back and I got ejector air time for the first time ever. And now I’m iffy on getting on it. Will still ride some other coasters though
First time I ever rode this was at night for ValleyScare and I remember the drop almost killing me, also at the end when we hit the brakes the couple in the car behind us was laughing like crazy because my friends hat flew off on the first drop and smacked them in the face. They caught it for my friend.
My family lived in ND when I was a kid. We went to VF when I was 9, and I chickened out of riding this. I regretted it for a whole year, but thank God we ended going again. I looked my fear in the eyes, and said “AHHHHH!!”
When I went on this ride last year it was raining so hard and it felt like we were getting pelted by rocks and chunks of ice but it added to the wild part of the wild thing so I’m happy
Really like this ride but I wish CedarFair would invest in new open seating trains! This ride is well over 20 years old and needs some upgrading with new trains to bring it back to the elite group of hyper coasters that it was when it was first built!
AtomBombYT Wild Thing opened to the public on May 11, 1996! It is 207 feet tall making it the 4th tallest coaster in the world at the time of its opening! It will be 24 years old on Valleyfair’s opening date in 2019! So, yeah it really needs some major TLC!
Renegade is scarier because it's faster and has a steeper drop, but just going up Wild Thing is so scary, seeing how high you are. It's fun once you drop.
Bruh whenever I ride this thing I get maaadd anxiety while going up but after you hit the first slope it’s sooo much fun
Yeah same lol
Im the same way about this ride
Yeah same
SAME BRO
It’s easy
Why does the drop look so frickin tiny on screen, it’s freaking HUGE in real life
Magvlogs 365 ikr
Ikr way bigger
I'm gonna ride it tomorrow for the first time, and when I read this, I shrunk back in my seat.
Don't talk To me honestly it’s not that bad, it just feels high on the way up, it’s super fast on the way down so you barely even notice it and it’s super fun, one of my fave rides!
IKR!!!!
Growing up in Minnesota I would always look forward to going to VallyFair couple times every summer since the early 80's!!!! Miss that place!!!
Valleyfair isn’t even a good amusement park tho. Sucks.
I love valleyfair!
The only good ride there is renegade.
i did too
Its that old?
That first drop scared the shit out of me when I rode it as a kid.
it still does for me and i'm 13
Anxious Neck Games i felt that
It didn’t scare me
it still does for me and I’m 16
Same here. I was 10 years old and tiny. When we reached the peak before the drop, my mom made me hold her purse instead of the bars.
Is it just me or does the drop look wayy smaller and less steeper?
JavaFloof it’s called the GoPro effect look it up
It’s pretty darn high irl.
Natez II yeah ive been on it
AND I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE
Natez II im finna go to valley fair on sunday or something and im gonna ride this
The drop is 65°
Love the view of the sunrise from the top of the hill.
These are one of the times I love riding coasters. The sunset :) but it’s also fun at night
Lol I Agree but this is early morning sunrise.
Yeah this is morning
@@DiddyKong41 is right - notice the big ass dump truck driving down the main drag - that's a pre-opening thing only (when the sun is up anyways).

going down made me feel like I was going ot heaven
I went down yesterday for the first time and it pushed my face back so much
went on it this morning. people could hear me swear from the other side of the park
@@thomasmanytbro you should swear on steel venom everyone in the park and everyone in the parking lot will hear you💀💀💀
@@4G3NT-ld9nrsteel venom is unbelievable.. im working here like for 3 weeks everyday i see that but i cant even try.
*sigh* this really really really makes me miss the summertime in Minnesota.
I go on this rollercoaster at least once every time I go to Valleyfair. I love it SO MUCH!
I’m doing this tomorrow and I’m debating if I should because im so scared
who else heard screams in their head?
Haley Cooper lol I heard them in that tunnel irl
Haley Cooper I couldn’t because it was always too windy
yes I was like ah no then the drop I closed my eyes but after the drop I opened my eyes and I was like 😯 wowie i gtg again sometimes
Zyun Zeno same that happend I was screaming and that was the second me on it
Me
I was so scared to ride this and went on it & realized it was the best ride ever.
Went on it a total of 3 times back to back. Such a good coaster.
Love the sunset
Is it scary??

@@CeliaCavalliI’m totally fine going on steel venom but I’m scared of going on wild thing

You just have to go on it.

This one is actually really bumpy if you’re up front. If you’re in the middle/back it’s a lot smoother.

Literally The corkscrew, renegade and wild thing makes me regret life when i got on those lmao
JavaFloof the corkscrew not so much for me
Corkscrew is really tame and slow. It is one of my favorites at Valleyfair even though it’s tame and a bit rough
Yes but only on my first time for corkscrew and wild thing but now i love thrm both but renagade....oooof
The power tower made me feel like I was gonna die
@@f4iryt4le66 witch one? Blue or red?
This is insane i couldn't bring myself to get on it's huge in person
It’s really not that bad I totally know the feeling though. Just get in line and don’t think about it. It’s a great ride!
I went on this ride an couple weeks ago, it was honestly one of the best moments of my life.
I sat in like the very back and it was about the best rollercoaster I’ve ever been on.
My favorite ride at Valleyfair is the renegade but the wild thing is fine
What a fun ride. That first slope is a pain though.

Wild Thing Roller Coaster At Valley Fair isn’t scary it looks so much fun
Gerlie Balbido You’ll regret saying that
Gerlie Balbido when u go down it’s like straight down it’s so fun 😂
Your legs will be jello
Gerlie Balbido you float in your seat when you are going down it’s so scary
It looks fun... But I screamed both inside and outside..
Been on this with friends before.....I was mortified, but I liked the after-feeling for some reason. Saw my picture on the screens after the ride and I looked dead lmao
I have never been to the valley fair but I will go for my first time tomorrow
It was really fun and I went on almost every ride
It’s amazing you should do this ride
Have fun!!!! It's the BEST
I was just there. Leaving now!!! See you at home!!
I love that ride i went on with my friends
The first rollercoaster I ever rode when I was 8🥰 I moved away from MN in 2008 and haven’t been there since but definitely want to visit again someday!
What a beautiful sunset! I'm excited to visit next year
This Ride Never gets old!
One of the most gentle hyper coasters if your trying to start getting into big coasters this and steel force over at dorney park are great
Growing up, I remember going to Valleyfair on the first and last weekend of Summer Break. That was in the 1990s. This is bringing back good memories.
I’m sorry but who doesn’t love that amazing pure nostalgic grainy early 2000’s footage huh? It’s sooooo nostalgic
Rode this in 8th grade when my muge braver friend talked me into it; by the time we got to the platform, my legs were shaking so badly I could barely stand up!
Tyyyy. Instead of going on it, I’ll watch this. I’ve been way too scared to go on it before. Now that I know how it goes, I might go on it...
This thing's a kiddy carnival ride compared to what they have at Cedar Point.
I LOVE THIS RIDE SO FREAKING MUCH
I just rode this 4 times today. It's fun as hell
when you get sad bc corona is most likely taking this whole experience away from you this summer so you watch these videos and get sad bc you miss it and ugh sorry i’m having my little moment
This is a great roller coaster. Went on it and had a blast!
I love this ride it’s my fav at Valleyfair
Man... This thing had so much airtime. But I think the last time I was on this I was like... 9.
If only they didn’t have so many trims... it would be better than Renegade.
I was just at valley fair 3days ago I went on the wild thing seven times!!
I've never gone on the wild thing. My friends and ex tried pulling me into the line and I sat on the ground. I was VERY difficult to peer pressure haha.

Ill be going for the first time of my life, I grew up my whole life in minnesota and at 24 Im going tomorrow. Pretty nervous lol
Gotta do something while waiting for the park to open again in real life... Thanks!
What gp sees: 😀😀😀
What Coaster enthusiasts see:😑😑😑
I went on steal vemun today it was so fun
im glad Magnum XL doesn't have those mid course breaks before the bunny hills
I’ve been on that
the oldest and the first ride there was the white rollercoaster btw
I plan on riding this ride for the first time this July
Did you ride it, Joss?
Did the Camera buy its photo after the ride?
Really like this ride but I wish CedarFair would invest in new open seating trains! This ride is well over 20 years old and needs some upgrading with new trains to bring it back to the elite group of hyper coasters that it was when it was first built!
You do realize it’s not even 20 years old yet 😂😂
It was built around 2000-2002
AtomBombYT Wild Thing opened to the public on May 11, 1996! It is 207 feet tall making it the 4th tallest coaster in the world at the time of its opening! It will be 24 years old on Valleyfair’s opening date in 2019! So, yeah it really needs some major TLC!
William Manthey it was actually made in like 2000
Sophia Huffman Sophia, please check your history facts! Wild Thing opened in 1996! I promise you!
I’ve been on this and it’s amazing ( I also recommend renegade)
minnesota squad where you at
They should have chance rides come in and give its layout a little more pizazz. Make it a big hyper gtx
Why the brakes?
Tamburello to me it looked like it wasn’t going to have enough momentum to continue so they put a brake run in
Holy Water! To slow it down even more?
Lol this ride completely drags after the brake run
Tyler Lovett or it could be for capacity reasons
It's going faster normally with the weight from all the riders
Renegade is scarier because it's faster and has a steeper drop, but just going up Wild Thing is so scary, seeing how high you are. It's fun once you drop.
The first steep IS HORRIFYING but 10/10 rollercoaster
This is an amazing ride
THIS IS MY FAV RIDE LITERALLY SO FUN I RECOMMEND IF YOU LIKE THRILLS
