I used to ride that as a kid in the mid 80's. My best friend and I would ride, get off, and then get right back in line to ride again. I also remember when they ran the trains backwards for a while. That clattering chain sound at 0:30 makes me smile and brings back great memories!
+New Jack Swing Yes!
Kevin Simmons-Mead I remember backwards, too! Soo much fun!!
Will always be the Rebel Yell to me. My dad helped name this ride when he worked as a Marketing and Sales Rep at KD in the 70’s
I really wish they still had one side going backwards. That's something I'd have liked to see them do for the 40th anniversary.
I love this ride because its fun and there's never any line :D
Tito Ramirez because it looks kinda rusty and shit and if the line is open its becase people wanna get on the better riddes
It's because people always want newer shit and can't appreciate the older, classic rides
I was born in the new generation and I prefer this ride than the newer ones
+fantahe free accounts hey if it wasn't for these rides we wouldn't never had discovered the Roller Coaster=Fact
Doesn't have a line because it's high Capacity
Kings Dominion brings back a lot of good memories. And the rebel yell was one of my all time favorite rides. I remember they used to operate one side going backwards. I'm glad they still operate this ride and haven't retired it yet.
Google on RUclips The worlds Oldest operating Coasters They are 10 Old Woodens in the world still Funtioning
Kevin Thompson There are WAY more woodies in the world.
Me too. I went to Kings DoMinion on a field trip and this was the last one I went own and it was awesome!
Ah, this was the first big rollercoaster I went on as a kid. Father made me go on it. Funny really, it doesn't look as big now but I guess since I was half my size it makes sense. I was upset at the time but I'm glad he made me go on it. The memory has improved with time.
Yup, and remember when it just had the lap bar that barely kept you in your seat?
this thing fast and shakes you like a ragdoll
what Wooden coasters are Supposed To Do
Preston Westmoreland yeah it does when rode it i was bouncing around like crazy
They gave it a new paint job. Looks great this year.
I thought it always looked like this
This was the biggest coaster I ever went on. My wife used to always rag me because I was afraid of them. So she finally talked me into this one. She decided we'd sit in front if we could. We got to the top of the first hill and she grasped the rail and wouldn't let go. When we got off she couldn't talk! I loved it! Had a ball. But still never got enough nerve to go on anything larger, and now at 62, I'd be a little afraid of what they might do to my heart! Like stop it!
Can't wait to ride this in June!!!! This ride is famous! It was in a movie called Roller Coaster from the 70's, I'm sure you already knew though. They should also play Rebel Yell by Billy Idol in the line. :)
I always found it funny that a british guy got famous singing a song called Rebel Yell.
@@tristramcoffin926 Yeah, I know right?
This park and the ride featured in the 1977 film rollercoaster, a great classic
The ride these days: “Don’t call me Racer 75”
This ride was used in the film Rollercoaster back in 1975
Everybody in my grade says "Rebel Yell is so scary", but I rode it when I was like 7.
I rode the Loch Ness monster at 3 and to me it is almost like a family thrill ride not no intimidator 305 to me
But still a good ride
True.
It's not scary at all. I'd say about 8 years ago, I may have said so, but after you've been on one that launches and also goes upside down a few times, this is nothing.
sportsygirl8 it's scary when it's your FIRST TIME riding a roller coaster
I rode it in the mid 70s, loved it, also rode it when they ran it backwards for a while.
Rode this a few times as a kid in the 80s and maybe early 90s. Used to always give me a headache :/
I go to kings dominion every year for my birthday with my best friend and we love this ride so much!
this was one of the first roller coasters i got on when i want to kings dominion!!!
Sibanye Marshall first one I did. First actual roller coaster I ever rode on.
me2
I love this ride! I don't really like roller coasters but this was awesome!
What a ride! It was still called Rebel Yell when I rode it in July 2001 right before September 11th. That first drop is a dusey!
I was afraid of roller coasters as a kid and my father shamed me into going on this one. After that, I was hooked! Got my sister to come on too and she was hooked as well. Wooden roller coasters are the best.
In my case, the restraint bar failed at the far end of the course when I rode it a few years ago. That was fun, suddenly seeing the bar pop up as the coaster reached the curve at the back end. Thankfully my arms managed to pull it partway back and just hold on in the hopes that I wouldn't get ejected.
...shit
It was because the staff hadn't checked the restraints and that everyone was properly seated before sending the coaster on its way out.
Same happens to me that why I hate that ride
InuKun2008 i read about this incident on their Wikipedia page.
Same thing my lap bar came unlocked mid ride. Other than that is was fun.
This is one of the first real coasters I went on (I went on it when they renamed it to Racer 75). Still awesome even though it has been around for almost 50 years!
I don't now why, but it seems strange to be watching POV footage where the camera doesn't appear to "fly off the track" on the far curve only to spin around and show the train still rounding the curve. 😉 Anybody else remember the safari monorail ride?
Yes!!!! And the logs
As someone born here, if they change this, I will no longer go there. I used to be a proud Virginian, not so much now. What will change....the name of the ride? btw. what flags? I wish I had seen them. WHERE?
DCBARNONE89 The park isn't even Virginian anymore it is owned by Cedar Fair, an Ohio based company which has a shitty track record of neglecting their other parks in favor of their big park Cedar Point. The name DID need to be changed and the offensive flags DID need to be removed but damn the new name is completely ass.
@@chdreturns there were no flags though
Later did he/she know it would be changed to a name called racer 27
Has anyone else by chance experienced their lap coming up during the lift hill or second half of the ride, I'm never riding in row 9 on the left seat on the left side
The Flip Yeah I noticed that too. I was riding in the same seat that you rode in and my lap bar flew up. Once we got to that big turn I flew off the roller coaster and landed in the wave pool. It was sick.
Seriously??? Lord
I was nearly killed on this roller coaster back in the summer of 1979. It was my first and last time on a roller coaster. I was yanked out of my seat 3 times and slammed into the floor of the car. The safety bar didn't lock down over my legs and the seat belt yanked completely off of me on the first drop. I received severe injuries to my back, neck, hip, and chins, and couldn't walk for weeks the pain was so severe it was horrible. I still have pain from this ride from hell every day. I'm shocked they kept it open after someone died being flung to their death.
This was the first roller coaster I went on....
And the last
my mom forced me to get on this ride and i was so traumatized lol.
I went to here today and thanks to you I had a lot of fun! :D
This is a duplicate coaster of the racer at Kings island also owned by the same company that own kings dominon. The racer was built first then the rebell yell
The turn around on the racer is different from rebel yell
+Tiffany W yeah must be the Prototype it has seperate support structures for the Turn Arounds each Side#ThunderRoad my first Big coaster as a kid #R.I.P.:( all for a water Park:(
Fond memories of riding this when I was a kid. Is it still around???
I love this coaster and I din't get sick.
The only problem was yhr lap bar can unlocked mid way up the first hill.
I remember riding on that scary roller coaster back in 1975 when it was brand new.I never got on another huge roller coaster after my experience on the Rebel Yell.Too scary.
This was the first rollercoaster we rode for a field trip and one of my friends in my group was terrified
I love this ride so much
havent been to kinds dominion in 16 years. pretty cool to see they still have this ride. i loved this ride. do they still have the backwards rebel yell?
No unfortunately. Both sides go forward now.
Its not even Rebel Yell anymore, this old gem was struck my political correctness. Now it's called Racer 75. Employees get in trouble if they call it Rebel Yell
I haven't been to Kings Dominion since the 90's. Thinking about going next year 2014.
i cried every time i went on this ride. damn you.
Same
+Skye Solomon TØP TRASH
Band freak meme machine aye
Skye Solomon ayye lmao
I rode this back in 2015 and they deployed both the red and blue trains at the same time, it was kind of like a duel between the two, I was sitting in the blue one chatting with the folks in the red one while on the way up.
this ride is so old but so fun!!
Wooden Rides last a lot Longer if Maintained
It was also in a movie!
sportsygirl8 which movie?
No. The Brady's went to an amusement park on one episode. I think it was KIngs Dominion, because this roller coaster looks familiar.
Yep, Rode it all the time,think about 15 years ago
Took my grand ( they were to young) but they let
Me ride for old times sake. handled it and was just
As much fun.I always loved the thrill of first dip
My other one was the one in Hershey park that
Went over the lake. I rode at 15 times straight once .
In those days you just hand them more tickets and
Stay on.
Criminal that when Cedar Fair took over this park they killed this ride.
I don’t necessarily blame Cedar Fair, blame political correctness.
The one at Kings Island is fun too!
It's a shame that after Sunday, this and the racer will be the only version of this coaster left. Thunder Road will be closing after Sunday.
It’s No Longer Called Rebel Yell. It’s Now Racer 75
I remember riding this when I was like 8 and it was going backwards and I cried lol
I remember riding it backwards in the 90's when Paramount first bought the park.
This is thunder road except thunder road represents north and South Carolina. I'm so sad they tore is down. I guess now I have to come here to ride it
I know Sad I wish RMC would rebuild these With Topper Track and turn one train facing backwards again
Kevin Thompson Fuck off you stupid GP Rebel Yell (I refuse to call it Racer 75 it sounds like some interstate lol) is a classic and none of the coasters RMC has made would ever hope to be classics.
They did need to rename the ride cause the name was horribly insensitive by today's standards but for fucks sake Racer 75 is such a bad name, sounds like they pulled it out of a computer name generator. How about Blue Ridge Racers? A homage to Virginias most famous road.
Did you have To curse Me???
If you type in Morrill Tariff Tax act of 1861 The south Never was and isn’t racist Can I get an "OH HELL NO!!!"
The guy at 0:10 ...
This ride used to go backwards way back in the days of Paramount (COME BAACK). My mom stuck me on this thing and traumatized me for life.
I remember. I wanted to ride it backwards but I changed my mind at the last minute. The blue went forward & the red went backwards.
+Crystal Dominique Backwards=Pure Awesomeness
I can handle a no Inversion's Roller Coaster backwards,,,Dollywood has a dual Launched ride that's Pretty Awesome:)this ride was best Backwards
I love this ride!
Are you thinking of the intro credits to Step by Step, the 90's take on the Brady Bunch? They rode Colossus at SF Magic Mountain for that.
I remember when me and my cousins literally went on this 5 times in a row
This ride is my first and last true love~
Intimidator 305
Location: Congo
Duration: 3 minutes
Height Requirement: 54 inches
Manufacturer: Intamin
Speed: 90 mph
The tallest, fastest and most thrilling roller coaster on the East Coast.
The ride stands 305 feet at its highest point with a first drop of 300 feet at an 85-degree angle
hurts my back super bad each time. my mom almost lost her glasses. it’s very rickety and hurts
@hbfarker I believe it was the Racer at King's Island near Cincinnati, OH.
This looks more intense than I imagined.
I'm from North Carolina and a lot of people who visit Carowinds theme park didn't know the design of _Thunder Road_ roller coaster was modeled after _Rebel Yell._ They've since demolished _Thunder Road_ to expand the park. Before _Thunder Road_ was demolished, they tried to make the ride more interesting by having the left side go backward, and the right side go forward. Nevertheless, I'm glad the coaster's name was changed to _Racer 75._ It's more appropriate.
This was my first roller coaster
That tunnel at the end was so loud and people just kept screaming
This looks like an exact of Kings Islands roller coaster the Racer. I've ridden the Racer before it's fun
That would be the Intimidator 305, 300+ feet in the air, going down at 90 mph. Sharp actually has a POV of it.
I've ridden it and I blacked out for more than five seconds.
My first ever roller coaster when I was a kid. Good times good times
Sharpp if u did ride all of the wooden rides which one was ur favorite
I will NEVER call this coaster racer 75, just doesn’t feel right
Gonna be there all day monday and tuesday !!!!
On our visit we went on Volcano first. Makes everything else seem tame by comparison.
It has plenty of hills. That's what makes it a great coaster. Fast with lots of hills (airtime). One of the best few rides at KD.
Hey sharp are ya going to six flags magic mountain tomorrow to ride lex luthor drop of doom?
Sucks that it isn’t there anymore
wtf you talking about? They just renamed it is all.
When I was on the ride with my family and when we reached the top I was like "OH CRAP NAWWW!!" And when we dropped I SWEAR I SAID NEVER GOIN ON AGAIN PERIOD.
I went on the Rebel Yell it was so fun I will do it again soon when I go to six flags next week
brett zebron This ain't six flags.
TommyTom21 I know that when I went to Virginia I went on Rebel Yell I black out twice on this ride
brett zebron sixflags??? Rebel Yell is at Kings Dominion!!! Mabye your thinking of anerican eagle??? Their basicly the sane thing but eagles WAAAAY BETTER!!!
looks awesome
Is the Rebel Yell still operational? I hope so
Ah, memories of when this place was “Wild World”.
So it's pretty much the Racers at Kings Island just renamed?
The layout is a little different.
that's INTIMIDATOR 305!!!!! its closed because the chain lift got messed up
The rebel yell was such a cool name. Too bad they changed it to racer 75
This is the first roller coaster I ever rode.
Up, down, up, down, repeat-repeat-repeat... How thrilling!!!!!!
I love the wheel screech
this my favorite coaster here :)
It also opened with The park I hear steel coasters eventually Fall In disrepair
Thomas King what aboyt the intamin giga coaster right next store????
I've never been to Kings Dominion before which ride should I go on first?
this is the Racer at kings island
When I got on this ride on Sunday, I felt my lap bar coming up little by little on each drop. I enjoyed the ride and remembered getting on it when it still went backwards when I was younger but they really need to secure those restraints!
+Melinda Elohel think that's bad even the new ones Like Fury325 loosen Up I really like a harness ride feel much safer
yea that's the intimidator 305. I went on it. its huge bun really damn fun. biggest one in the park and you go 94 mph down the drop
what do you like ore sharp, wooden or steel roller coasters???
My favorite coaster.
this is an exact copy of Thunder road at carowinds. they just tore it down to make room for a Waterpark expansion
They didn't just tear it down I hear no one is happy ever these parks kept similar rides must Not have been unsafe and structural Damage
But lightning Rod is Awesome
I go every week!
Well damn 😂
That's Intimidator 305. (Themed after Dale Earnhardt, of course.)
The lake is gone, when did that happen?
that ride was fun
My first coaster
I love this ride in real life
I have been on that ride like 200 times
Tip: Ride this in the front seat it's a much smoother ride. The second time I rode this my friend and I's head bumped into each other because we were in the middle
Oh ma gosh
Wood coasters can be a different experience With weather change
Lucky you rode the side that usually doesn't run
The i305 does not look 300ft tall, maybe 200. Millenium force however looks huge. Maybe it's just the structure.
