It's almost tempting to imagine what would happen if the chains broke, at the very top, at full speed. Which state would they find most of your remains in?
Coaster studios?!? I have never seen your comment here until rn lol love your channel! Texas skyscreamer is a great ride my home park is SFOT and I love it
I think they are, heard somewhere that they are just like 2 or 3 feet taller, but I'm sure it doesn't matter, you still get the same experience. They should have just said in the U.S.
Yes, Six Flags does have limited control over things like speed of rotation and height control over its rides. The mechanics can alter the way the ride works within limits. The mechanics did the same thing for Warp 10 (Troika by generic name) at Astroworld by reversing the rotation of the arm-wheels in relation to the whole ride. This resulted in a more exhilarating ride and more people getting sick. It didn't stay that way for long. I formerly worked rides at Astroworld / Six Flags.
I went yesterday! I ride this and honestly ITS AMAZING! Not scary at all unless your afraid of heights. You can literally have a conversation on this ride. I was on while it was a little windy and now i understand why it was closed due to high winds... HAVE FUN GUYS AND SOOOP TRY THIS RIDE!!!

Texasban megnyitotta kapuit a Six Flgs Over Texas vidámparkban a világ legmagasabb körhintája, a Texas SkyScreamer. A szerkezet 400 méter magasra emeli utasait és a maximum 24 főt forgató óriáskerék egy 124 méteres sugarú körben és 56 km/órás sebességgel repíti őket.
This ride is fun! I'm 13 and I love these rides!! I love going to the six flags in Arlington! I wish I lived closer to there. Its 1 hour away from Waco thoe.
Hell No!!! You're help up by a few chains, are you kidding me?? Chains bend and snap all the time. You couldn't pay me enough to literally risk my life on this thing, pass.
Interesting. They are from the same manufacturer too. Funtimes probably sold the same model to both parks claiming that it was a world record to both. Since they are the same model, they both have the world record model. Although the Eclipes was opened first, so it is the true winner.
You guys need to understand that this ride was meant to be able to see all of six flags. There used to be something similar to it, but changed it. It was pretty old, about 50 years old. It wasn't meant to be a coaster
This ride was insane!!!! I don't mind heights and skydiving is no big deal to me, but this ride was pretty crazy. It's higher than you think, attached to small chains.
Same size, except colors and the ornament on the top the look identical. Gröna lund, which has this type of carusel, also has the exact same 4D-rollercoaster as this theme park does.
It appears from the video that it just goes to the top and come right back down. You'd think they'd at least give you 1 or 2 revolutions at the very top before coming back down. But then I guess since its news they need to keep it short and sweet to keep people moving through. Maybe after the newness of this dies down theyll make the ride a longer duration.
Someone sold Six Flags a bill-o-goods. A ride salesman always wants to make a new ride appear like it's something 'bigger' or 'better' or 'a world record'. It's not that this ride isn't great, but it is just swings. 400-feet-in-the-air-swings, but still swings. Other than custom built coasters, Six Flags usually chooses not to buy flat rides that haven't been thoroughly tested prior to introduction and thus Six Flags is rarely first to debut rides of this type in their parks.
This one is as tall as the one in sweden, stockholm, gröna lund. Its pretty much the same. Although the one in gröna lund has been active longer. So while worlds tallest is correct. It shares the worlds tallest with the one in stockholm.
Did you really have to do the MTV editing at the end? I kind of wanted to see what the view was actually like at the top instead of having 80 cuts per second.
Definitely a world record breaker. No where else will that many people shit their pants in excitement, adrenaline, fear, and down right "Holy shit" moments.
I live like 15 min from there but I'm quite mad bc I'm scared of scary rides and they took out one of my favorite rides as a kid for this scary looking thing ugh
On a clear day, you can see both Dallas and Ft Worth from the top!

There is a safety wire
Cable
Nostalgia. Crazy to think it’s been 10 years.
This has just been added to my bucket list!!!
That is insane. Amazing. Crazy. Fantastic.

The one in Saint Louis is twice as small as this one. I'm so excited to take my dance team out there this weekend and ride it.
The SkyScreamer is 400ft. or almost 122 meters. The Swedish Eclipse is almost 397ft. at 121 meters.
Where do you collect your Parachute "Just in case"?
Can we please get one of these on the northeast, i am a huge fan of the swings.... every time my favorite ride.
According to the Gronalund website, the Eclipse is 121 meters (397 feet)
3 feet is only 3 feet but taller is taller.
I think they are, heard somewhere that they are just like 2 or 3 feet taller, but I'm sure it doesn't matter, you still get the same experience. They should have just said in the U.S.

my heart is dropping to my stomach just watching this. no way.
There seems to be confusion on websites. This one is listed at 400 feet while the other is 396.
I feel like this will be at the beginning of the next final destination

400 feet!? Nem? Szerintem azt mondja. Az kb. 120 méter.
This is my favorite ride, I’ve been on it many times in my life
This ride is fun! I'm 13 and I love these rides!! I love going to the six flags in Arlington! I wish I lived closer to there. Its 1 hour away from Waco thoe.
There's a similar ride at Knott's in CA. The only thing going through my mind while I was on it was "mechanical failure."
Rode it twice. Completly worth waiting in line for.
Hell No!!! You're help up by a few chains, are you kidding me?? Chains bend and snap all the time. You couldn't pay me enough to literally risk my life on this thing, pass.
So those little chains hold you like 400 hundred feet in the air!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? No way i am riding that shit
Each chain can hold like 400+ pounds
+Nick757 400? NO WAY
+Luke Spaghetti its possible, read about the manufacture, Funtime
Ryan Wilcox people can weigh over 400
Each chain can hold 400, there are 4 chains holding you.

I read that this is a Skyscreamer and the one that's in Sweden is a Starflyer, sorry.

It's tall, but the ride is slow paced and only lasts about 2 minutes. Kind of boring, but at night, the view is so amazing.
Wow! Thats beautiful, another great addition to Arlington TX
This one is 120m, the one in Stockholm is 121m so the Swedish one is more than 3 feet taller than this one.

Looks like a great way to meet someone.
Sky Screamer spins faster, allowing the seats to be raised higher when swinging, thus making you swing higher.

It's really cool but i think with a ride that tall they could make the chains a bit longer for a wider swing
Build one at Six Flags New England!
Stockholm Eclipse 121 meters
Texas Skyscreamer 120 meters. World record for Sweden
they need to have a video showing how safe this is.

you guys should have strapped a go-pro camera to a rider to really show off the experience.
Are you really only held in by that cross bar? Crazy crazy adrenaline rush!
you sir, are amazing, now to look for a place to get it
Rode this in August had no idea it was brand freaking new. It's highly disconcerting to ride.

If shazam doesn't recognize it it's probably an underground track, which are VERY hard to find...
My friend rode this in arlington, tx, he said it is fun.
Holy crap !!! Damn, I would've passed out within 20ft in the air and swinging
wow ... the seats are supported only by chains ??? O.o how safe is this ? it looks so scary !
Omg this is like oone of my favorite rides at six flags
Holy, Hell I need to make a trip to Arlington...
That seems like motion sickness inducing spinning. It would be a rush but that looks like it'll flip your stomach upside down
This one is as tall as the one in sweden, stockholm, gröna lund. Its pretty much the same. Although the one in gröna lund has been active longer. So while worlds tallest is correct. It shares the worlds tallest with the one in stockholm.

no way in hell would get me on this thing!
You're not the only one, Sweden got one aswell. It's called Eclipse and it's new for the year. Get your facts right.
This song is not on youtube!! NOOOOOOOOOOO ...... :-(
Whats next a 1000 foot swing ride connected only by chains like this?
Cant wait to go to six flags!!! I ❤ u texas!!!
that's a bait which protect the real high structures from being attacked by planes
Definitely a world record breaker.
No where else will that many people shit their pants in excitement, adrenaline, fear, and down right "Holy shit" moments.
I rode that and oh my go it got so windy when you get so high but it was so much fun
I live like 15 min from there but I'm quite mad bc I'm scared of scary rides and they took out one of my favorite rides as a kid for this scary looking thing ugh
I see people asking and im one of them WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS TRACK?!!! I NEED IT FOR SNOWBOARDING!!
What about Eclipse in Sweden? it's same height as the SkyScreamer, so the SkyScreamer hasnt broke the world record.
This weekend, that'll be the first one on the list!
no, not really. But they knew that it wasn't really a world record but they still proudly present it as one.
Nice, but was hoping it featured a drop too.
Google Adam Salkeld & Neil Pollard and you'll find it ;-)
I've seen plenty of chains break to never go near that ride.
I've seen enough final destination to know where this is going.
can't wait to ride it this summer but don't want to wait in the likes
This ride was CRAZYY!
We have the same one in Stockholm at the park grona lund. Had it before it was cool....
Seems pretty sketchy for swing 400 feet in the air on a little chain. Ive seen playgrounds with heftier swings...
What is the name of the dubstep song that played in this ?
NOPE...NEVER!
I muttered that exact sentence right before I slowly scrolled down and read this as the top comment
How do we reach these keeeeeds? Dubstep
What's the name of the song playing in the background ?
I'm getting on it tomorrow
I am riding this on Tuesday. I can't wait :D and mr freeze and Titan and superman omg so excited
There is no way in hell I would ride that. All that attaches are those small ass chains sketchy and I can already see one breaking...
Which is why WindSeeker is better!
I went on the 242-ft one in SFOG and it's totally safe.
Why would you not put 4 seats in a row, instead of two? That just seems like a waste.
Where's the Occulus Rift version?
This ones taller... sweden just needs to update theyre info ;)
The only thing you'll hear up there is wind-in-ears.
I'm afraid I'll be watching this very thing in the "Disaster News" in some years...
I'm sure those chains are plenty strong, but damn they look thin as hell. Doesn't look that fun to be honest.
My palms are sweating just from watchig this
The dude that designed this ride had to be stoned out of his mind.
I wonder what's the maximum weight allowed to go on this ride ?
These chains are so thin !..
It's not even scary at all, it's fun
I have no reason to be 400 feet in the air. Haha.
I rode. That but we had to wait like 40 minutes cuZ technical difficulties, it sucked
Me and my brother are getting on it in the summer and I'm 9
It's not on youtube :((
