While it’s pretty short, the view is very breathtaking for sure, and will give you an unforgettable ride experience.
What experience you barley get to enjoy it it's over way to fast but twisted cyclone got heat and it's longer than this bs
Unforgettable ride experience sounds about right total ride time 10 secs
@@ilove3dsomuch You're on the side of a mountain.
@@mobetterent.gamerzunited2529 Coaster thoosies are a special kind of mental deficient
the views are spectacular! I feel like a helix before the brakes would make this ride feel more complete...I get there are short coasters but this just feels like it was ended very abruptly
Very abrupt, but I have to imagine the cost and engineering constraints on building in that location. Who's to say an extra helix here wouldn't cost a couple million dollars more?
For sure, it really should have had a downward left turning helix right after that roll instead of going into brakes. But, it's still fine. I can't imagine how much extra Gerstlauer charged them simply to build that coaster (pretty cheap model) that high up the mountain. Had to have doubled the cost and time.
@@tchaffman yes, of course who wouldn't want a longer a better layout...I am sure they had to pay an arm and a leg to built this...just a bit sad because it definitely has speed and energy to go through some more elements
I think they could have eked out a little more ride length, but my word - what a spectacular location for a coaster. That view right out the station is incredible.
Love the fact that the station is so high above hills. Amazing
went on this ride about 10 times today and it was so fun. the length of the ride didn’t bother me much because there was basically no line and i could just go on over and over
1998 bush gardens Montu... same thing.
Also last week m thru w at kings island... no fast pass needed!
That's good to know...makes it worth the effort. One ride would definitely not been enough...
This looks like the new best coaster in Colorado
Easily.
It was a really low bar, so it's not even close.
Funny, I didn’t even realize they added this to the park. Pretty soon they’ll have themselves a full-size amusement park on top of a mountain 😂
I was at the park a couple weeks ago and was lucky enough to witness the first ever test run. I’ll have to make a trip back to ride it!
Nice. I think I was on this train with you. I had the cedar point hat on, and rode front row on the first train while y'all got a back ride row first.
Yup that was me, I got first cycle back row
I saw you yesterday I had the Cedar Point shirt!
Did your cedar point hat fly off??
@@detroitdiezel7856 no they have little bins at the station
even just the station gives a breathtaking view
It's short but the view is amazing and it seems like 90% airtime :')
You know it’s bout to be good when the ride is like 15 seconds long and the lift hill is a minute long
Short but super fun!! Loved it.
From crest of the lift to the end of the brakes, this ride is shorter than a SHUTTLE LOOP. It's about the same length as Superman at SFMM or Kingda Ka at SFGAdv. That's wild.
It's also built on top of a mountain. It is pretty dang cool
Out of curiosity, how does the queue on this ride work? Do you exit to the right and go under like at most parks or do you go out the same way you walked in?
Great question! As of right now you enter and exit on the same side. I edited out the just sitting there and waiting part of the video. The operations were slow, and this might be a factor. It’s understandable being it just opened as a soft opening, but this might change after the grand opening.
Thats my hometown thanks for showcasing the new roller-coaster! My dad's friend does the maintenance for them and I have a friend that operates them!
Why did they go with the green track instead of the brown track that is shown in the animation
Wow! Although the view is breathtaking, there's really not much to this ride. It's practically over before it does much of anything.
I totally forgot this existed after the announcement.
Dam! The ride was so short until I could not get one sip of beer while watching it! Dam!
Keep up the good work. Give us more footage. I wish six Flags wasn't so picky
Great view, but holy cow that was short.
Oh my god. I really nearly womited just watching it. No lies. How do you guys ride it? Haha
That was wayyyyyy to short of a ride😮😔
Nice video and Pog! You earned yourself a new subscriber
Edit I meant to say pov not Pog
Thank you!
Damn, no lapbars? Come on it's 2022, what is that
Sometimes a safety regulator does not approve lapbars. Like in Europe TUV can say: This ride can and this ride cannot have lapbars. I think with the location of where this ride is, they might not have allowed lapbars? Just guessing. Hoping someone can tell me if i'm right.
I think due to incident that happened at Glenwood Caverns, they probably chose to have over the shoulder restraints to let the guests feel more safe
@@blazingaqua9127 Could also be possible. But I know a European park that wanted lapbars. But then the province they ware in said NO to that. So they did not have a choice. And I know that one KMG afterburner wanted to have lapbars in The Netherlands and TUV said NO. While one with lapbars runs without incidents on Moreys Piers. This is why I was assuming this.
You do realize that someone died at this park last fall on a thrill ride that only had lap bars, right?
@@CoastersRUs-us I did some research into this and according to the investigation it was because the park operator lacked the right staff training to operate that particular ride. If they have instructed the staff in the way the manifacturer of the ride has created it's operating manual, this could have been prevented. Staff were trained to operate this ride with a instruction manual from 3 A4 papers big. While in Europe and some major themeparks in the U.S. , a staff training manual goes over 300 A4 pages. But that is the same with Orlando Freefall. The manifacturer has made the ride safe, the park operator decided to tweak certain things so that 'fat people' could ride, while the manifacturer clearly stated this should by all means be prevented and not be tempered with, it resulted also in one soul too many that lost it's life. Same with the Smiler at Alton Towers. The ride safety worked, the staff was not instructed well enough, they did not check if a car was indeed stalled on the track, send out a train with passengers in Maintenance mode to keep the ride operational, which you should never ever do... And kaboom... Tower of Terror only has a seatbelt in Disney Paris. No accidents have happend on that ride. Same restraint system as the droptower in this park. They should have instructed the staff better. But challenge my thoughts on this?
Wow that drop is amazingly awesome and steep! I love it 😀
😯 I was just there last year and rode the old coaster they had. Guess I gotta go back.
This ride would have been perfect with an extea helix at the end or something.
Totally agree, still a great coaster!
or even just did what some gerstlauers do and have a slow roll out of the station, woulda made it a bit more complete
Shorter than me. Hardly worth a wait time.
why they don't use the gerstlauer infinity trains? they are so much better!
25 seconds, it looks a fun 25 seconds though!
It’s a shame they didn’t make it a full length coaster… this is too short
Imagine waiting in line for this the day it opened I’d be pissed 🤣
The 5th coaster in the world to feature a banana roll!! What is that feature like? Does it have some hang time or is it sustained Gs all the way through the element?
Very hard to explain, but it goes through the element quite fast. On my rides I wasn’t getting a hole lot of hang time, but it gave some Gs. Definitely a unique experience I can’t compare it to anything else I have ridden.
I experienced a banana roll on TMNT Shellraiser. It's...unique. You whip through the element so fast sometimes you don't even realize what the element is. You're just going upside and rotating super fast.
It definitely gave off some good G's, but not as good as a cobra roll or the even rarer butterfly element.
I've experienced the banana roll on TRTH and it gives some sideways hangtime and pulls you through it nicely, they valleys are also forcefull
Nice view of the bar.
Already????? That was fast!
15 seconds of ride time!1!11!!!!!
Just rode it. Short but insane. Did it twice, had to do front the second time
Damn, no air gates on front of station? That's wild. Reckon a fall 6' down to the lower deck wouldn't.... kill you? Someone taking a step back, not thinking.
This looks really fun!
What!!!! I blinked and missed it boo
Great ride pov road to 500 subs
ngl i kinda forgot about this. it’s visually pleasing and looks fun but damn it’s short as hell
One Hella ride
unreal views !
This wasn't the "record breaking coaster" they were supposed to build this year was it? That thing is just so short... Still looks fun, but would hate to wait an hour just for that
What a wasted opportunity, putting that hunk of metal in that beautiful setting.
Woah I didn’t know it was even finished being built
Question: Does it feel fast and whippy, or slow with hang time? Looks kinda fast on the POV.
I got first ride of the day so I thought it would be slow, but definitely a whippy ride good pacing.
Not wimpy at all fast and bangs you around a lot the first drop is great. Ride in the front
That was quick.
What? That was the shortest coaster ever...
That’s a really fast chain lift.
A whole Lotta nope in one neat little video
Gawd right 😳😆
This thing is sooo.. intense
So excited!! How was it???
Great ride! The back row was a lot better overall, better drop, and a smoother ride.
@@coasterjunkie7113 Is it like shellraiser where it has potholes in the front?
@@andyroman8223 exactly, but the front has the view, and you can see the track in front!
Shame the ride is so short but the view is the main focus of it
That’s it? Lol I think the lift hill was longer than the ride.
Where is the rest of the ride?😂
Is it smooth?
Given that it is a gerstlauer, it could be a headbanger on arrival.
Front row there’s definitely some potholes, back row was wayyyy smooth though.
@@coasterjunkie7113
seriously...
potholes on a brand new coaster?
step up your game gerstlauer.
It’s a shame the front row is rough. I’m quite tall and I think the only way I can fit is if I push my body forward and I don’t think the back has enough leg room for that. Ok the bright side my head will likely clear the height of the restraints so I don’t have to worry about head banging as much.
@@coasternerd6978 yeah, I edited it out but at the end of the video someone on the car said there brain was scrambled 😂
@@iwillfalchonkickyourmom.5430 shut gerstlauer is the best but these ugly restraints on defiance just no
That's it? That's all?
It's not 4k though is it. You know RUclips allows you to set your resolution.
The haunted mine drop is probably still better in my opinion!
That's it???
I thought It was going to have lap bars
I thought so aswell🤷🏽♂️
coaster is 14 seconds after the lift up the first hill. Barely.
Is that the on ride music or is that background music you put on there?
No ride music, that would’ve been cool though. I’m still not sure if adding music was the right call.
I mean it looks fun but hecka short.
Jeez. Talk about over before it started.
Um...where's the rest of it?
That's the end?
Shorter than this sentence. 😁
They opted for otsr?
That ride is 20 seconds, I understand short and sweet but if your spending millions what’s a few more for a longer ride?
Doesn't seems as fun as I thought seems short
Thats it?
Wow that’s really short.
Um....where is the rest of the ride.
Why is it so short 😂
That's it?
Why did you add music to the POV?
Without it felt kinda awkward/dull, And people sometimes use the footage without permission.
Is this built in a valley or a canyon, or is it a part of an amusement park?
It's amusement park is an eyesore built on top of the ridge north of Glenwood Springs, CO
@@kennethmcdonald4807 Oh ok. Never have seen or heard of this park before.
@@kennethmcdonald4807 lmao jeez Debby downer. Some people in Glenwood love seeing that up on the hill
That's it??
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That coaster is ridiculously short.
Damn...tease me why don't you!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And I thought I had a short attention span…. Whoa that was short
oh shoot i forgot about this ride. personally MY biggest issue are the colors. parks have GOT to stop using the green/orange color scheme on rides it’s sooo ugly🤢
Well, that one was pretty high I guess
Build a down hill real coaster that has magnetic lift or something to get back to the top
Geeze I thought they were still building it
I go to Walmart when I want a rush a thrill and a bit of danger , there isn't any way in hell I'm getting on that 🤣🙈
why not? its relatively tame
Another Euro-Fighter 🥱🥱🥱🥱. It's barely 15 seconds long after the lift hill too, I don't think that's really acceptable. I mean I know it's Colorado but...come on, have some pride at least.
Awesome! (Except for the music)
Good to know, it felt dull without it.
Stand in line for a half hour for a half minute ride
This ride would be better if they added a helix and airtime hill
What’s the point
This looks like the biggest waste of potential I’ve seen for a ride. A great view, great drop and then it only has two elements before turning into the brakes. At least with something like Maxx Force there’s the excuse of space limitations. But this has a huge area behind it they could have built into more.
That was super short
Idk whether to call the restraints a shoulder harness or lap bar
I totally understand, their a bit weird but definitely feel like over the shoulder restraints
