Kingda Ka 4k POV - 2021 Official
The moment you get at the top, you regret everything
More like the moment you're locked in the seat
nah for me that's when it started moving slowly cus I couldn't believe I actually got on but the rest of ride was actually real good
Nah it’s the 5,4,3,2,1 for me
i regretted everything because this was my first coaster ever
@@melted999 there’s no count down
The saddest thing about riding Kingda Ka is the fact that I'll never be able to experience it for the first time ever again
after i dont go on it for a while, i forget what it feels like. Its like the first time all over again.
@@melted999 I live in Florida so I haven't been back in a couple years. Your comment gives me hope I'll feel that epic adrenaline rush once more!
It's the LAUNCH that gets you ...The drop isn't that bad at all....
People dont realize that because its looks so tall ( and it is ) but it's as close to a rocket launch to the moon as you'll ever get...
Best coaster by far
I know I just went on it twice it almost didn’t feel real
@@vincentmirabella6928 same ! Went in it twice yesterday
Exactly!
17donhol its not even the best in the park 4th if your lucky
Kingda Ka is the best carrier launch simulator
Nitro is the best dogfighting simulator
Superman Ultimate Flight is the beat Minecraft Elytra simulator
The scariest part of this ride isn’t even the height; it’s having to stare at what you’re about to go through while you wait to launch.
That and the launch itself.
There is just no way to describe that initial launch. I have never experienced a launch that powerful on any roller coaster, plane ride etc. The Gs are so strong that I remember I tried screaming but it felt like someone was pushing my chest and everyone else got quiet too until you reach the top and take a breath and then everyone screams again when it goes back down. What an adrenaline rush. You really don’t understand how big it is until you get there and see it for yourself
There is no time to react. The ride is over before you know it
i agree
First time I ever screamed on a ride, a legit scream, not a "woooo" ... its like being shot into space.
is this why she said to take it slow ?
This is exactly how it felt
The worst part isn’t the drop, it’s the worst feeling up just sitting there and regretting it alr
I want the POV of it when it doesn’t make it and it goes backwards
Me and my little sister went on this when she was 8-10ish age. When we were being loaded in, she started crying out of nervous energy. A lady waiting for the next car asked me her name and I told it to her. The lady and the whole crowd of people waiting started chanting her name to cheer her on and go on despite the nerves. And she did it! Nice memory from Six Flags that day, and what a nice crowd 🙏
good i can ride it if shes 8 cuz i thought i cant cuz im 13
When it reached up the top I screamed out “I’m in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Because it felt like it up there with a great airtime!
It looks like you get more air time than the dragster. I’ve been on that one a couple times but I haven’t experienced this one yet.
Yes! The airtime is awesome! 👍🏾
The first time i went on i had my eyes closed the entire time, but i opened them at the top.
“OH- OH THIS IS NII- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
Fun though :]
@@fr0ggyd4yz3 when you look down can you see how far down it is? or is it too far up to really tell?
Is it scary I’m debating going on it
This roller coaster is so tall that if you reach its peak you can see the Skyline of New York City on one side and Philadelphia on the other.
That’s mind blowing.
Insane
You can see Sydney too if you squint
@@SMcQueen-qr3imI don’t think Earth is flat.
The thing is... um, that's really the last thought you are caring about at the top of that thing😬
Literally just watched a short on this. Lol really badass.
Compared to all the other POV's this one definitely looks as close as it would be if you rode in real life. This ride is definitely breathtaking and not for the faint of heart.
As soon as you get to six flags you regret everything
My wallet agrees
You get to the top so fast, it's proof that climbing slowly is scariest. You spend more time thinking when slowly climbing than flying up like that
have you ridden this (or top thrill dragster?) the fast launch feels absolutely insane
I went on this and this was so scary for me it was unrivaled in scaryness aside from el touro
My daughter and I went on this yesterday!! That moment of weightlessness at the top will never be forgotten😵😵☠️☠️
airtime
The fact that you can see Philadelphia and New York from the top of this coaster is crazy…
Rode this twice today let me tell you the sudden acceleration at the start with the wind hitting you hits harder than the drop,imo
I can even explain how much force you feel during the launch. It’s so powerful. And once you get to the top you can see everything. Great ride.
dawg my stomach would literally not exist by the end of the drop
The world needs more of these
The world needs more great roller coasters!
Only issue about these coasters is they they are a maintenance hassle. No park would ever invest in one if they were smart. This was unknown at the time of this being built.
@@lemmy9751 It's because it's so tall, isn't it? You'll need like 20 ladders to reach it lol
@@fishinnapond there's an elevator that goes all the way to the top, so that's not the reason.
the maintenance nightmare is because of the insanely complicated launch system. check out the video "How Top Thrill Dragster Works" by Art of Engineering, and also "Problematic Roller Coasters - Top Thrill Dragster" and "Problematic Roller Coasters - Kingda Ka" by ElToroRyan. those videos explain it really really well.
@@protowave Ah. Thanks.
Just rode this for the first time yesterday! I was definitely nervous. Once I finished, I said, okay. Let’s go again.
That was me yesterday. First time I've ever been on it after years of being too scared to only to want to go again immediately after lol.
As someone who loves all kinds of rides, this one is a special one. It feels like you are launched to space and experience 0G for few sec and shoot down. You barely have time to comprehend what just happened, which is why you get addicted. It is very very unique
The thing about this ride that can make it easier than a traditional roller coaster is that youre launched instead of the chain pull up the hill as the ground slowly pulls away from you. Youre adrenaline is pumping and you dont have as much time to worry about the height as you would normally.
This ride is so much fun. At the top your ears start to pop, and when you look at the park its the size of an ant from up there. The launch is really crazy as well
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF THIS COASTER: it’s not that scary. In fact, when I rode it yesterday during a school trip, I didn’t even scream once. And this is coming from a person who usually rides kiddie coasters. The launch is the only scary part, and the drop was surprisingly underwhelming. Also, the view is really good at the top, and it’s worth the 45-minute wait.
I was there yesterday also on a school trip! It wasn't bad fr
Yes, I was also there for my school trip, and it didn't really satisfy me. The ride was less than a minute long, and it was over before you know it.
@@liluncyt13 Was it also MITP? bc that's why I was there. I was in the school with the tropical blue shirts, that screamed really loud when we got the awards
@@mikesanchez2731 All my friends were disappointed too. We only went on for bragging rights
@@liluncyt13y’all had y’all eyes closed but I was gonna go onnit yes but ain’t get that much of time but when I go back there w my Friends I’m goin onnit
its so tall that at the top you can see nyc and philly
seriously? or you bs?
@@ghos7kam779 seriously
I slaw New York! I think that I slaw the light bc my dad shown me.
@@We_missyouAubs kk
Part of me is like “you couldn’t drag my dead body onto that.” And the other part is like “LETS FREAKING GOOOOOO!”
I remember riding this during the opening week back in 05. Waited 5 HOURS!!!
Still the greatest roller coaster I have ever been on.
Wish I could do this EVERY MORNING that'd be better than a cup of coffee.
Hahaha i agree
If I went on this, my soul would jump out of my body for a good year or so. Idc if it’s really short.
They said it's :28 seconds
first day ever riding roller coasters i rode this my 5th ride once inna lifetime opportunity u won’t regret it
I remember I rode this for the first time, and I got off and I felt like my soul left my body... soon after I was back on over and over and over.... Nitro is probably my favorite roller coaster, but this one was life changing for sure lol
From Jersey. Been on this ride over a dozen times its the best. Last time I was on it went backwards when we reached the top
oh my god the rollbacks on this ride are terrifying
Been on this in NJ. When the ride shoots off in the beginning, every part of your body feels as if it's being pinched by painless needles.
It LOOKS really high up... but trust me... it's worse when you're inside it.
what
that pause before it just blast off had my anxiety thru the roof
Rode back in 2007 with my dad when I was 14. Legit had not peed in hours and had to go so bad before we got on. We got off and I didn’t have to go anymore 😂
Thanks for putting the video, simple, no bullshit, just a short screen with the name of the ride then we get to it, straight to the point
The math and physics nerd in me loves this. The brains it would take to design a coaster like this is amazing.
There's a documentary on it that you can watch
This video just doesn't do it justice. The launch on it is so intense, great ride!!
The launch in the front seat is absolutely insane. Feels like a heart attack. Gonna go here when they open Flash up
I went yesterday first time in the front after being told it goes up slow 😂😂
This is probably the best shot from kingda ka ive ever seen
Went on this today. Twice! Loved it! My daughter said she felt a face lift when it took off 😂
Ah yes, the face lift we all need! Now at Six Flags.
@@lemonade-1b 🤣
which six flags is this at?

Rollercoaster enthusiast here:
It's worth a ride if you want the experience of the tallest roller coaster in the world. However, on its own it's not a great ride. The wait is likely going to be extremely long since this thing breaks all the time. The ride is uncomfortable even for someone who loves rough, thrill rides. You will likely get off with a headache from the rapid change in pressure you experience in the ascent. There are enough G's to make some people pass out.
Ride it once for the experience if you are good with intense rides. It'll be fun enough. Generally not worth the wait though.
It's a one-time ride and I'm never coming back
how do you get used to intense rides? im asking since you’re a rollercoaster enthusiast. im only 18, i am terrified of heights. i went on skyrush at hershey park, and it was so bad i ended up with like a bad headache, i even almost passed out on the ride. i really wanna have fun and enjoy the rides but i hate the feeling it gives me :(
@@kat9526honestly, my best bit of advice is breath out on every decent. that makes the world of a difference. i got Hershey park seasons passes and within 3 trips i’ve done every coaster with ease after not ever being on a coaster. try it and see if it works for you, it’s honestly changed the game for me
@@kat9526
Honestly I'd just say start with less intense rides and work your way up. That works for the mental part, which is just getting used to it.
Some rides that are really intense I don't think you really can get used to. Some rides are just hard on the human body and will give headaches or make you sick. IMO, those rides aren't usually worth it. I personally enjoy an experience with thrill, but without actually being unpleasant. A lot of rides advertising how intense they are (especially if they were designed during the coaster wars in the 2000s) are just bad rides.
I know I've only encountered feeling physically unwell on a few rides, but I was scared of a ton of roller coasters in the past. If I was too scared, I'd go on something else in the meantime and if I was feeling brave after conquering that ride, I'd move on. It might be within one day you feel up to it, or it might be after multiple theme park trips.
Just make sure you enjoy your time. It's not supposed to be a chore to work yourself up to intense rides, and anyone who judges that it usually just a snob lol.
First time today, headache corroborated
I came to this video just to hear this legendary "Arms down, head back, hold on!"
Hands down the best rollercoaster I have ever experienced. The day I heard about this ride opening, I wanted to ride it. However, I lived on the other side of the country. About 10 years later I happened to be in the area. The park had just reopened after its winter closure and made it a mission to stop pay $70 bucks to enter and ride 2 times as I could not stay long. If you ever have a chance to experience this ride, DO IT!!!
as a european going to the united states for the first time i can't discribe how hyped i am to hopefully ride Kingda Ka in nearly 3 weeks 🎉
Have fun
Enjoy! Kingda Ka looks so much more scary than it is. It lasts like 10 secs... it's all about the launch. It all happens so fast you don't even feel anything in your tummy.
@@JaseBounceThe giant hill is fire though
This is one coaster you never forget riding. Me and my friends went on maybe 10 times in a row one day, The lines were short and we were loving it. Great day.
this is my kingda ka, this is my kingda ka
Jersey gang
When you feel my speed, look into my eyes.
Just rode this (7 times) for the first time this week and all I can say is OMG, KINGDA FREAK'N KA!!!!!
Because no other words or video can do this insane experience justice.
I mean, Top Thrill Dragster can give you one that’s similar
THANK YOU SIX FLAGS for taking off those cheesey advertisements from the trains. 👍🏼👍🏼
I screamed “I like men” at the top.
No regrets
That’s definitely what my friend would do
Tbf, men are fuckin cool.
I saw God smirking at me when I reached the top. I wasn’t thrilled😩
🤣 well said
I’m going to Six Flags tomorrow 💀 100% going on this wish me luck guys.
Edit: I went on it yesterday, wasn’t as scary as I expected. Scariest part is waiting to be shot up to the top.
don't scream challenge
I couldn't even close my eyes wins is so bad
I might go on this on Friday 😟
Hands up all the way!
bro i’m going in like 30 minutes how bad is it?
just rode it today i was so scared . but i can honestly say this ride goes so fast u have no time to be afraid😭
My friends came up with an idea of us to go to six flags together and one of them asked if I'm gonna wear a diaper for this ride. To be completely honest, I can't lie by saying I'm not thinking about that.
When your in the middle of line on this ride and you find out it’s the tallest coaster ever built on the planet
“ExUsE mE eXuSe Me GoTtA gEt OuT oF tHiS lInE”
I've ridden every thrill coaster in this park. This is the last one on my list. I've done everything from Bizarro (which they renamed Medusa now) to Nitro and El Toro to even the newer Jersey Devil. This was the one I was a little nervous about, but the one I'm definitely going to finally cross off very soon
Just rode it yesterday. It's so short and intense you don't really even have time to be scared. 😆 If you've done Nitro, this will be no problem.
@@FosbackFilms good to know!! Thank you!
@@FosbackFilms I imagine the lead-up and suspense to actually getting on is worse than the ride 😭
You have to do it! This was the only ride that made me nervous waiting on line, the only ride I ever legitimately screamed on (not a woo hoo. Actually screaming). I waited extra for the front, it is definitely worth waiting for the front. I rode it twice since.
this was my first rollercoaster (both at six flags and ever) and as far as first coasters go, this was amazing
the only thing is that when you get on you regret everything, but when it's done, you wish it was longer lmao
Went on this twice, closed my eyes at the top both times 🫣
Remember going on this when it first came out. Skipped the line because of season passes. Good times, good food, and one of the best summers
Went on this ride once in 2007. All I remember when the drop and the sight of the the parking lot hurdling towards me. Thought I was going to die lol
yeah, can't wait to go once hopefully me and my mom are huge roller coaster fanatics.
The safest way to ride nowadays!! Thanks you tube!!❤
you are more likely to get robbed while watching the video than fall off on this ride
Rode it for the first time yesterday. Definitely a serious thrill. Very smooth ride but you do feel the speed and the wind!
Glad you had a good ride.
Hey, I noticed you’re verified on RUclips but you only have about a dozen subscribers. Are you an employee/former employee or is there another reason you have that?
I went on this ride remembering what Ronnie Coleman said “YEAHHH BUDDY!! LIGHT WEIGHT BABY!!!”
I went on this on Saturday. It was the most unreal experience I’ve ever had and I HATE rides and heights but I made myself do it. I highly recommend doing it. The force of the launch is INSANE
The drop actually isn’t that bad (as far as the knot in your stomach). But that quick view at the top will make u crap out your mouth
This was the second roller coaster I'd ever ridden in my life. Well actually the third, but my first coaster was a pretty tame wooden one at a local park called Lakemont Park near my hometown called Syliner, if you could actually count that, and the second coaster I ever rode was Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood. For Kingda Ka, I was around 13 or 14 at the time. Went to so many parks with my older brother over the years but this was the second one ever at Great Adventure. We chose this ride to be our first there that day no matter what and so that's what we did. I used to be extremely scared of roller coasters back when I was younger too. I still had a bit of that fear before going to Great Adventure. I remember how crazy intimidating Kindga Ka looked while I was sitting on the track just looking at the massive 456 feet tall top-hat way down the stretch of launch track, and I was just waiting anxiously for the launch to initiate at any moment from then. I remember debating on bowing out from riding it due to nervousness too. So glad I never did though, because I am pretty sure it gave me my huge love for all roller coasters I now have today. It was like just ripping a band-aid off. Once I road Kingda Ka first, I knew nothing else could intimidate me, and I was hooked anyway. I ended up riding it about five more times in a row then, because we were extremely lucky to have been there a day where there was next to no wait for all the rides. Even got to come back through later and get several more rides in. I now go to parks all over the country as well as return trips to Great Adventure every couple years, and I'm a total coaster enthusiast now. The crazier the ride, the better. Long story short, this ride was the one that made me the thrill junkie I am today.
Also, I have been praying that El Toro gets back to operating again soon, and without any issues. It's definitely my absolute favorite wooden coaster ever. It's in my top 5 for all types of coasters, actually. And I also hope that Kindga Ka has many, many more years of consistent rides without maintenance and performance issues. The Top Thrill Dragster difficulties at Cedar Point have made me nervous for anything similar happening to Kingda Ka. Fingers crossed that never happens, though.
I used to go to Lakemont almost every summer growing up, fun little park. It may not have very intense rides but it does have leap the dips which is the oldest functioning roller-coaster in the US.
Honestly i suffered more with the super acceleration from the beginning than the going down. Just to guess the acceleration of the beginning must feel like a sport car. From 0 to 100 in a few seconds. Was amazing
0-128 is a crazy amount of g forces
0-128 in 3.5 seconds, I believe - you can check their website for the stats. Its an insane launch. Nothing like it.
Once you go on this roller coaster you will be able to go on any roller coaster without fear or at least not for the height
I went on Kingda ka today for the first time, it was very intense and fun. The launch, and going up and then the drop was fun and intense
Was it also intense and fun?
@@dougdougw yup
Is it scary?
i’ve been on this ride so many times that it’s not even scary or yell worthy anymore but always fun,
As soon as the ride started I got so excited it was awesome
Absolutely incredible ride. Worth the hype as the world's tallest coaster. A little underrated in the coaster enthusiast community.
bro when you take of on the ride its so fast and i felt like i was gon die ngl
Lmao Is the ride worth it tho
@@abeliscool7950 fr
@@abeliscool7950 yeah lmao it is worth it after the first time i did it i had liked it so much i did it again the same day
I rode this last week. It was the craziest rollercoaster I have ever rode. Feels like 500 G's.
my toxic trait is that i think its not that high (its the tallest roller coaster in the world)
Got off of it yesterday. (It’s not that high)…and it’s so fast in the beginning you don’t feel the drop
Fr
This and top thrill dragster are the only rides that can cure the fear of roller coasters
What about Steel Vengance? Honestly, the airtime is alr and it's not that tall
When I first got on this coaster, I did not expect it to stop and blast off, that shit scared me and I wanted to see my reaction 😂😂
You won’t believe how god tier this ride is when you do the front row! It SLAPS!!!! 🐅🐅
No it isn’t. These things are the devil, they will kill you!!!! The King Derkar already killed 6 people! Keep that in mind next time you ride!
@@GarettPenniger GP moment lol 🤣🤣🤣
@@TravelProductions-w4p read my initials
@@GarettPenniger I mean roller coasters are supposed to be made safe for everyone especially the general public. We all know about their issues but now some of them are being built and are improving.
@@GarettPenniger no one has ever died from kingda ka bro did you forget to take your schizoid pills or something??
Makes you wonder how many of its riders keep their eyes open or closes them.
I keep em open on every scary ride, when there closed it's more unpredictable and terrifying
Great ride for a quick speed/drop thrill, but Nitro will always be my favorite ride in this park. Close your eyes leaving the gate, while u climb to the top, don't grab the handles and put your hands up in the air, and wait for your heart to drop into your stomach. When you do open your eyes, you're staring straight at the ground, and the rest of the ride is just so smooth and enjoyable, especially with hands up bc your body flows naturally instead of holding the seat and sort of fighting it.
For an even bigger "oh shit" factor, try this in the front row AND the back row. Opening your eyes only once you start to drop, in the front, is absolutely insane.
i got so overwhelmed with the speed really good ride
Love the music that is playing before the launch!
Easily the best Kingda Ka POV I've ever seen!
Me on the top: STOP THIS GOD DAMN RIDE I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR THI- AHHHHHHHHHHHH
The ride is so fast that you can’t hear the people screaming 😂
I really wish I lived near Jersey so that I can go here and ride this. It looks terrifying and what I’ve learned from riding coasters is that the more terrifying it looks, the more fun it is. I’ll definitely try to come here one day even though it’s extremely far from where I live
Make sure you also check out El Toro and Nitro when you come. It's a 6 hour drive for me but I go quite a bit.
It's really not bad at all. Major rush that lasts 20 seconds.
This ride was insane. I know it’s over rated but, for real it’s amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I lovedddd it!
Definitely my favvvvv
The launch just about gave me whiplash when I went. Drop was fun though.
I can’t believe I got convinced to get on this 3 times in a row
Same I got convinced to ride it twice in a row
Went on it and honestly when you stop at the start that is the scariest moment
This is the smoothest video of Kingda Ka I’ve seen, the camera barely shakes.
I mean it's from the official six flags great adventure park
King da ka is only smooth in the front
Ah it was one of the best rides i rode.. its so fast, felt like teleporting 😂

@@GamerGuy0623 Nice i hope it comes back up though
This is me on every coaster I go on
I was in Six Flags NJ a week ago. That was my first time I’ve been to a theme park although I’m 19 years old. (That means I had never sat on a rollercoaster before😅😂) My first ever rollercoaster ride took place on El Toro. Aaaand I passed out….😅 But I didn’t give up. So from El Toro we went straight to Kingda Ka. OMG that was AWESOME. And the funniest thing is that I didn’t pass out on that! I think I will remember on that 1 minute 30 seconds in my entire life
@Josh
😮 what happened?
@Josh wow thanks, I’m gonna look up that video 👍🏻
lmao thats the exact order i did today
11/10 the entire thing.
I love this ride! Rode it 9 times today!
It was such a great day for the park everything was a walk on
how does it feel physically and mentally?
@@RighteousSword6kinda crazy psychically but not in like it throws your body around way but more like, you can feel the speed a lot. You go from 0 to 128 mph in 5 seconds when the ride starts so you can really feel the wind and everything pushing your body bakc into the seat. Mentally, it can be scary. But I think riding a few other rides with your hands up before going on this one would help with that. I felt like I could do anything after doing that lol, or somehow makes the rides less scary, idk how but it does I promise 🫠🤣
The feeling of zero gravity at the second small slope is just awesome
Senior trip 2012, I remember hearing one of my best friends 2 rows up screaming like a bitch before the launch even happened lol
That never even happened either because the ride only seats 4 at a time. lol
lol I love how you are telling me something I experienced in life didn’t happen, make that make sense to me
I think sometimes it doesn't even make it all the way up. You fall back down backwards and they have to try again. Nope.
It does happen and it is completely normal. Nothing bad happens if it falls down backwards.
@@epicdudepersonman99 I know, but still... just no 😂
@@epicdudepersonman99 yea a roll back…they have signs that warn you about them lol
I was at the top tryna close my eyes and the damn wind was strong asf it forced them open and I had to just accept my fate.
This comment took me out 😂😂 this is why I’m terrified to even get on my palms sweaty and I’m the ultimate coaster queen lol
Most people fear the top and what happens after that. At least you go forward, there is no error.
I wasn't afraid of the top. In fact, it was the opposite. My fear every single time was that there wouldn't be enough forward speed to reach the top and continue to the other side, and we would slide violently backwards with tremendous force and speed!!! This fear would still be with me today.
that's called a rollback and its 100% safe
I was 13 years old the first time I rode this. I wasn’t even a roller coaster fan at the time, so it took everything in me to get on. Once I got off, I wanted to go again. This broke my fear of thrill rides.
This ride was crazzzyy!!!! Your balling straight forward for like a quater mile then it shoots up the sky and you know if your gonna make it lol
Riding today,Please wish good luck. Edit: Rode it. It’s so funn
