ooh the feels!! This was the first coaster I ever went on and the first amusement park I've ever gone to. I was 9 when I went on the racer and I loved it. Especially because I didn't know the wonders of positive and negative g forces!
What's awesome about this racer is it is a Möbius coaster, meaning you enter in the left station and exit the right station (and vice versa). There are only 3 operating in the WORLD. From oldest to newest: 1. USA- Kennywood- The Racer, 2. UK- Blackpool Pleasure Beach- Grand National, 3. Mexico- La Feria Chapultepec Magico- Montaña Rusa. There are two newer steel coasters that are Möbius in design, but not in operation. While other racers may be faster, they can't compare to genius engineering.
I was on the blue side when I was riding it yesterday. We were winning near the start, outrun by the red near the middle, and won in the end! Yay blue! 💙
Kennywood's Racer was also built 83 years before Joris en de Draak, so I have no idea why you're even comparing the two! Seriously, what a dumb comment.
i always wondered why the racers did this. i am from pittsburgh and this is the first roller coaster i ever rode. im glad kennywood has such a unique and historic coaster
Wood coasters have always been an accuired taste I love classic glad they still around,,,,,and again Wood coasters are not just for any Body Type that might make it seem Rougher
+Charollete Endler THey switch at the beginning when they exit the station and turn away from each other, which is called a reverse curve. When the meet up after the curve, the have switched sides.
+Kevin Thompson ik I wish they would build more I grew up riding wood coasters the metal ones are fun in all but they don't have that's thrill wooden coasters have metal is so smooth its like driving a car
Kevin Thompson I understand why they make steel coasters though like the phantom really fun ride but if it was made out of wood it would probably colapse and break because the night and spped and imagine the whiplash
You probably haven't been on the right ones then. Try Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce, Thunderbolt at Kennywood, Ravine Flyer 2 at Waldameer, The Voyage at Holiday World, Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City...
This one the best wooden roller coasters ever! I'm from Pittsburgh and I go back every summet and this is my first ride every time

I am fascinated by Möbius Loop roller coasters. It's such a neat concept.

This is a great ride for kids that never rode a roller coaster before
ya
Yep
It's my first roller coaster
Jordyn Delawrence NO! The jack rabbit xD (LOL jk everyone has different opinions) *DONT SEW ME*
This was my first rollercoaster and I still love it to this day
My first was the Jackrabbit and then this was my second one. I love Kennywood wanna go there again someday
The only ride where I can keep my eyes open the whole time.
What a cool concept; great ride, great video! (Thanks for providing both views.)
I was on the red side. the blue one won by a couple feet. and we were leading the whole thing! Then I screamed CHEATERS!! i didn't regret it. 😀

Whichever side lost last run will win the next.

Lot of coaster fans are dumb as dirt
Have not concept of time haha
My second coaster ever. Rode it when I was 5.. Same day I rode my first coaster, The Jack Rabbit.
The racer at kings island used to have one of the trains go backwards. Wish they still did it that way.
there are not two contained tracks next to each other. It is, in fact, one long continuous track.
Best!!!!! I love kennywood! I always go with red
I always go with the track on the right when you walk on the platform
i always wondered why the racers did this. i am from pittsburgh and this is the first roller coaster i ever rode. im glad kennywood has such a unique and historic coaster
Do you record with GoPro? cuz it sounds like you do :D
Do you have videos of some roller coasters in Brazil? type super tornado, fire whip, Montezum? if it is to send the link?
That’s a nice roller coaster you been on.
Hey, Kennywood is open.
Yes
It's its 90th anniversary of the arrow too!
It is yass! I am going this summer which is in mid progress
Damn I always forget to zip them up
jcrbama Yep, my zipper is zipped up
I ride the racers every time I go to kennywood. It's fun, honestly!
Rip log jammer, miss seeing the log jammer from the racer
One time I was on blue and red was already starting to get off when we were on the last hill

I love the rough bumpy feeling, but its not even close to how bumpy the thunderbolt is
I'm scared of the thunderbolt. Legit
I agree it is bumpy. But I think Thunderbolt is less bumpy.
Why is there always a chain lift at almost every hill of this ride? Ex 00:48
It's an anti-fallback mechanism so if the ride suddenly stops it doesn't fall back into the station they used them on wooden coasters
+Ruin Gaming I love old wood coasters too bad they are tearing them down they can ALWAYS BE FIXED
+Kevin Thompson ik I wish they would build more I grew up riding wood coasters the metal ones are fun in all but they don't have that's thrill wooden coasters have metal is so smooth its like driving a car
Me too steel coasters depend on the weather though too cold they cant operate lol old wood coasters are pefect
Kevin Thompson I understand why they make steel coasters though like the phantom really fun ride but if it was made out of wood it would probably colapse and break because the night and spped and imagine the whiplash
This was my second roller coaster to ride the jack rabbit was my first I like them both very much
Looks like a rough fun woodie.
Reminds me of Grand National here in England! This layout looks better though.
This is 8 years older built in 1927
can you make some videos about hansapark in Germany?
wait, is footage all by same people in every video or no..
Guys, can you please get a stabilizer or a Olympus Omd Em5 mkII which has five axis stabilization in it. While your at it, how about a shoot gun mic
This was the best ride at kennywood!!
+Vern Marie (iNSanITY) was past tense?????or is it still there????
It's still there.
A.R Coaster Guy hey hey, everyone has different opinions :/ lay off.
A.R Coaster Guy I'm sorry you feel that way
Thunderbolt was the best imo
why don't make a POV of the efteling or walibi holland looks fun to me
nice wobbly footage. space seems to warp with every bump,
Looks fun!
some of the best roller coasters are wooden rollercoasters
i love this ride

i live ther in pittsburgh u should ride the black widow
my first rollercoaster!
The Racer is taller and longer than The Grand National
Fits more riders and is older built in 1927 to the GNs 1935
Try this ride at night and winning most of the time it is sooo scary u can't see the drops
It look a bit similar to the grand national wooden coaster at Blackpool pleasure beach.
That coaster if anything copied this this was out first
1927 to 1935
pues vaya atraccion si lo que querian era una buena atraccion yo creo que lo mejor es que directamente contraten a otros costrucctores
that looks fun
Favorite ride
NICE!
its just the way its designed
lol cool coaster :D
0:51 THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!!!!!
it is!
she's 83 years old? wow......
Cool
I LIKEEE
the blue
where the WEEEEEEEE!?
you get paid for going on rollercoasters? best.job.ever
hey nederlander lol deze was er ook al veel langer
This was out first
I prefer the Grand national, at Blackpool Pleasure beach......;)
This is older
log jammer at 2:50
you get paid on going on rollarcoasters because they want to see if is perfect but it can be a dangerous job i think
pretty sure he doesnt get paid from the coasters, think he just gets some money from youtube but no doubt he has a day job
mild compared to wat u usually post :)
yea thats what i meant he gets paid by youtube
the drops arent even big
It's one of the oldest genius
It was my first big roller coaster
Evan Neff how is this a big roller coaster?
@@NoName-xi9jp its one of the oldest pal this park has the most history outta any in the world
he stop it
I guess there are better paid jobs though...
This coaster is old. The PTC Trains suck.
Anavee Hughes You're old and you suck dumbass
Wurlitzer 153 You suck.
Anavee Hughes TROLL
This park has some of the oldest called history genius
So you want individual lap bars instead of buzz bars you ding dong GP
boring boring boring ride. The first drop could have been so much bigger......
the grand national is way better
there is only an 8 year difference between the two rides. Anyway, age doesn't deter-men how good the ride is.
@@oof6745 yeah this was first
@@oof6745 this park that it's in has THE oldest coasters in the world
There one 10 years older than this
menuda porqueria
I hate wooden coasters.
Same it's ok for me it's not as good
You probably haven't been on the right ones then. Try Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce, Thunderbolt at Kennywood, Ravine Flyer 2 at Waldameer, The Voyage at Holiday World, Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City...
+CedarFairEnlightenmentLeader HELL NO they can always be FIXED steel brakes in colder windy weather SMDH
You're trash then
Pussies today like a smooth ride babies
Joris en de draak is much more cooler than this one! :(
Moron its older
