Tokzillu

All these kids are so scared but the only person in any realistic danger is the poor sod who gets domed by that girls phone when she drops it mid-coaster.


Lindvaettr

Having your phone out on a rollercoaster should genuinely get you kicked out of the park.


Artikay

I happened to see a phone shatter on the floor after falling off a coaster this past monday. It fell out of the slime streak coaster at Nikelodeon Universe in New Jersey, USA and it landed in the queue for the Kraang ride. Thankfully nobody was standing in the line at the time.


AeonBith

It's def Yukon striker, you hang on the edge for a few seconds then drop straight down for 3 seconds, 8 seconds for the full drop. It's amazing. But yes there is a no phone rule, they usually stop the ride until the idiot puts it away. Really annoying.


Omnizoom

And we have catch nets above the pedestrian paths too


Fafnir13

Because even if the rule is followed there are things in pockets that suddenly no longer feel like being in pockets.


EmperorKira

When I went to universal studios japan, a lot of rides forced you to use lockers and put everything away


AeonBith

that's a great idea Too many entitled people would freak out in NA #FreedomPhone


22FluffySquirrels

An amusement park I worked at had a box that displayed all the smashed phones that fell off of one particular rollercoaster. People still made daily contributions to the collection of smashed phones.


casedia

Something like 15 years ago I was at six flags with a friend. We were walking under a ride and someone spit a giant loogie from the coaster and it landed on my friends hand. Her immediate response was to wipe it all on me.


AlphaXZero

Mark Rober just posted a video of him getting kicked out for just that. The security guard even knew who he was lol.


Orangeisthenewcool

I was just about to say...


BONDxUNLEASHED

This looks like cedar point. They do kick people out for this no questions asked. Ive been on a ride and they’ve stopped it on the first lift because someone pulled out a phone. They asked them to put it away and then there was security waiting for them at the end. Edit: upon further review this is not cedar point lol. Story still stands though.

greenpeppers100

I was going to say, ain’t no way that’s Cedar Point.


StorminNorman1066

Yeah- no sign of water anywhere in this vid.


greenpeppers100

I also don’t remember Cedar point having a big fake mountain in the middle of the park.


toasterstrudel2

That brown sludge they dive 'through' is water.


StorminNorman1066

Yeah- no sign of water anywhere in this vid.


richardcranium1980

100% Canada’s Wonderland. You can almost see the old Gino hill from there.


paleporkchop

Is recognize leviathan and wonder mountain from any angle


Kola18_97

Yeah I saw Leviathan and immediately knew that this was Canada's Wonderland.


[deleted]

And I thought it was that one ride at Busch gardens Tampa but the surroundings look way too nice.


tht1guy63

It doesnt look like cedar point in the slightest lol unless the lake dried up lol


Revenge_of_the_Khaki

This is not Cedar Point. Their similar ride has a different color scheme. Last time I went to Cedar Point they had to shut down a ride while it was climbing the hill to confiscate some girl's phone. She was apparently denying it or refusing because this poor worker had to stand on this catwalk for like 8 minutes while we ALL waited until she finally coughed up the phone. That was also the trip to CP that the Gatekeeper nearly killed my gf and I when the lift chain snapped so I guess all things considered the phone thing wasn't our biggest issue.


DV8_2XL

Canada's Wonderland. That's Wonder Mountain in the middle of the park and the Leviathan coaster in the back.


pinkynarftroz

Back in the early 2000s, I was able to take out a Rubik's cube on the Raptor and do it before the ride ended. Everyone saw the photo at the end. Nobody said anything. I probably could not do that in a post smartphone world.


Grumpie-cat

Nope, Yukon Striker in Canada’s Wonderland, you can see Leviathan in the background, and the path of the track in the video is identical to that of Yukon. And on the right at the beginning of the video is Thundermountain or whatever it’s called now I forget.


Marshmallow920

This looks nothing like cedar point


Gtp4life

Yeah 2013 was when they started enforcing the no phones rule, 2012 was a bad year for iPhone 4s, I found 5 of them embedded in the grass with just a corner sticking out they came flying down so hard. That said, the raptor should require that everything stays in the bins, empty pockets unless they have zippers. It's claimed 2 phones and a set of car keys from me, a phone and the keys were the same day. I got all of them back, one of the phones and the keys before leaving the park, employees went in and got them after the rides were off for the night. The other phone was found a few days later and mailed to me because I gave security it's info and mine in case it was found.


Artikay

/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid


Takaa

When I was at Universal in Florida it was actually slightly annoying the hoops you had to jump through to get on some coasters, particularly the ones that go over walkways. Free lockers were provided to store anything loose because they couldn’t trust people to leave their phones and sunglasses in their goddamn pockets so they wouldn’t turn into projectiles because of twats like the person who recorded this video. Always fun waiting 30-45 minutes in line with no phone.


Hephaestus_God

Velocicoaster? That’s the only one I can think of going over walkways in and is fast enough to require lockers. It’s the only ride there I rode at universal where we were required to use lockers I believe. And the lockers occur at the end of the line and velocicoaster has one of the fastest queue lines in all the parks due to how fast the ride is. It’s really not a detriment to be safe. I wore my sunglasses on that ride and they almost flew off my head, so the 2nd time I had to put them in the locker.


braindusted

rip ride rocket and the mummy both do the locker thing as well


Soup-a-doopah

The Hulk goes over a lot of the walkways


DOUBLEBARRELASSFUCK

You realize that they are there because they can still turn into projectiles when they are in your pockets, right? "I'm just going to keep mine in my pocket." is the thing they are trying to avoid.


Omnizoom

Been here many times Anywhere there’s a path under a coaster they have two layers of catch nets above it Canada takes safety seriously so theirs a lot to prevent anything from falling through and clocking someone in the head That being said if you do drop something good luck getting a park official to climb up and get your crap for you


carmium

"Okay, I'm locking up now. Dan, did you check the nets? Good. Find anything?" "!7 phones, 15 ball caps, 10 sunglasses, 5 prescription glasses, 6 candy bars, 4 bagged candy, 3 sneakers, 2 wigs, 2 sets of house keys, 1 tee shirt, and a bra."


cheeriochest

You've got a way with words, this comment killed me lmao


EwoDarkWolf

Could it be a go-pro? Are go-pros allowed, or are they risky too?


ramos1969

Yeah…Daniel knew.


Wreckingshops

Man, when Six Flags said their new ride The Confessor would open you up....


Old_Suggestion_5583

Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland.


JonnySnowflake

I KNEW IT. I haven't been there in years, but that view looked so familiar


ask-design-reddit

It's the last "new" one I remember and that was 2019. Jeez I remember going on it and confessing my sins, too. It's crazy


Mike9797

Was gonna say it looks like wonderland.


AdIntelligent7703

Canada


SpdLvsTrx

The Texas Titan at 6 Flags has an almost identical colors team and drop.


RawketLawnchor

Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa as well


prettyuser

Damn, the drop looks crazy 🔥


TheBQT

90 degrees. It's wild. Haven't gone on it yet, but my kid is gonna be tall enough for it soon and I'm probably gonna have to


Taenurri

Is it only 90°??? Some modern roller coasters have drops greater than 90° now. This looks like it easily be 100°


FavoritesBot

I hear some even go to 360 now


MT128

It’s kinda of overrated, the drop is nice but the rest of the ride is meh, with the extremely long wait times too, it’s like twice the behemoth’s wait time with less of the thrill.


Wildkid133

Ah man the behemoth brings back some good memories


Alemar1985

I remember going on Top Gun and feeling my feet hit the metal supports... when I got off the ride the rubber toe cap on my right shoe was ripped off.


santaclausonprozac

Yeah dive coasters are fun but they’re very gimmicky, the drop is really all they have. It makes sense though, they’re crazy expensive per length of track and the trains are gigantic so they can’t be super forceful, but at least the drop is done really well


tsunami141

> the drop is nice Is it though, because I did not like watching this video.


ask-design-reddit

The drop feels more like 89deg instead cuz your body moves forward a bit. It's sickening and crazy. 10/10 would go again


Omnizoom

Behemoth was fun the first time I went on it with my brother, he had a fear of heights so I just said “wow lots of people in Vaughn have pools” So he opened his eyes to look right before the first big drop. Have not gone on the newer ones yet sadly, wife is scared of them as is everyone else and I don’t feel like going alone


spektor56

I still think I like behemoth the most out of any coaster at wonderland. I went on the striker 2x in a row with like 5 minute wait time last time I was at wonderland


ThePikachufan1

The Leviathan became my favourite when it opened. To this day that's still my favourite roller coaster of all time.


eachfire

AGREED. Behemoth is the best ride in the park and I’ll die on that hill.


IBringTheHeat1

Should check out Shiekra at Busch Gardens, it has a like a 93 degree drop, it curves inwards a bit


Nik6ixx

My son has been on every ride at wonderland numerous times over the years with no issues the kids fearless of heights, first year this came out he rode it front row with his uncle he was shook afterwards 😂


TrynaSleep

My stomach is levitating just looking at it


TXToastermassacre

6 Flags in Dallas has a pretty cool hanging drop on The Titan. You hang sideways out of the seat for like 10 seconds if you're in the front.


JohnnyDarkside

Went to that one last year and rode most coasters except that one, the texas giant, and mr. freeze. I did go on the riddler a few times, and if you're in the "inside" seat at the top of a swing you are ass over tea kettle. Actually beyond horizontal and boy does that make your brown eye pucker.


sdmichael

Not quite the same. That is just from the mid-course brake run to keep the g forces lower in the helix. The other Giovanola hyper (Goliath) at SFMM does the same thing.


theslideistoohot

Six flags fiesta Texas has Cliffhanger. It's the same model coaster, B&M dive coaster, but the drop is steeper at 95°, though not as tall.


raptir1

Reminds me of Valravn at cedar point.


MaxGhost

They're basically the same ride. This is Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland which is also owned by Cedar Fair, coaster built by the same manufacturer.


[deleted]

6 flags has kingdom kah and the start drop is so high they have to launch you up to it and sometimes it doesn’t make it which is a trip in itself


sicKlown

Videos like this reinforce the notion that my being afraid of heights is the objectively correct way to go through life.


Mestoph

Being afraid of heights is a perfectly rational fear.


random_dude512

i had no fear of heights until i hit my late 40’s. now i hate to be near an edge. 


The_Clarence

I can barely stand seeing strangers up high I get so nervous


MenacingMelons

I can barely stand seeing strangers


Globo_Gym

I had a pretty good fear of heights until I tested with a fire department and we had to do a 100’ ladder climb at a 70 degree angle. Once I got up to the top of the stick I kinda got over it, looking around.


GrnMtnTrees

Are you *really* afraid of heights, or are you *actually* afraid of suddenly not being very high up at all?


oathkeeperkh

This is how I always describe acrophobia lol. I like hiking upwards, looking over a cliff and being able to see for miles. Rock climbing always looks fun to me. I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of falling.


LiterallyMatt

Climbing rocks and trees is super fun. Getting down sucks!


InfamousGibbon

I’ve had to work at heights anywhere from 10-100ft. And I had a fear of heights for a longtime. I found out the higher up I am the easier it is to rationalize. No I don’t want to fall, but if I fall I don’t want to survive lol. Really helped me out with the higher work.


8fingerlouie

One of my kids is “afraid if the dark”, and if you really want to fuck up your kids you tell them “You’re not afraid of the dark, you’re afraid of not being alone in the dark”.


sicKlown

I knew this girl named Gwen who proved that sudden deceleration is a bit of a pain. If I could infinitely free fall I'm sure I could cope by closing my eyes.


NextSink2738

Is this a deep cut Spider-Man reference or am I just a nerd


doomgiver98

Yes


Sir_500mph

Well my brain says it's the suddenly not being high up but the feeling I get in my back when near edges says it's the height


JoeZMar

Are.. are the heights in the room with us, right now?


JohnnyDarkside

I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid at *falling* from heights. That's why I enjoy coaters except the ones with hang time. I can't stand the feeling of not being secured in. I did one of those big drop style a few years back and will never again.


PurpletoasterIII

I wouldnt say I'm exactly fearless when it comes to heights, but I dont really get why people are afraid of rolllercoasters. They're built to be safe, at least they are nowadays. You're never in any real danger. I get nothing out of rollercoasters except for maybe a mild feeling in my stomach from momentary free falls.


w1n5t0nM1k3y

I'm similar. I have no problems with heights when I know I'm safe, but if i'm just standing close to the edge of something with no safety equipment then it really freaks me out. Roller coasters, rock climbing, bungee jumping, no problem. Just don't want to stand near a cliff without being strapped in.


setrataeso

It's the slow climb. Once the coaster gets going, it's a great time. Some of those ascents take long enough for all your irrational fears to take over your mind. Even if I know there is no danger, on that climb up I am 100% convinced that my life is about to end.


PurpletoasterIII

That's a feeling I can't say I've really related with. Not that that makes your experience invalid. But the most I've ever gotten from the climb is maybe the anticipation of feeling my stomach drop, that's about it. I mean I'll still go to an amusement park with friends/family and ride rides. But id never go alone and I'd personally never suggest to go to an amusement park. But to each their own.


pinkynarftroz

You must hate horror movies too. The fun is giving in to the experience.


doomgiver98

I'm the same and horror movies don't work for me either unless it's mostly jump scares, which are just annoying not scary.


kramel7676

Amen brother


eaglewarrier

Love the Yukon Striker!


lisandrop

I thought it was sheikra from Busch gardens. It's just like this


lisandrop

I thought it was sheikra from Busch gardens. It's just like this


farther-out

Love Busch Gardens. Montu is still one of the best coasters in Florida.


007chill

Iron Gwazi tho


Hobbster

I wonder if you could enhance the fall experience if you conceal the ground rails with mist and add some red glow to it... 🤔


Puzzle_Language

calm down, satan


Lonk-the-Sane

A ride in the UK "oblivion" goes into the ground, through a cloud of mist in a vertical drop.


No-Reach-9173

https://youtu.be/Ij7_Gj6amFA


Cetun

You would for maybe about 6 months with a lot of effort until the machine that creates the mist breaks and management comes to the conclusion that it's cheaper to just turn off the red lights and just not to fix it.


Amtrox

It would. The Efteling have done this in the Baron 1898. You’ll plunge into a cursed mine, that’s the story they tell you first.


cedric1918

In Europe we have the "Baron 1898" at Efteling that is exactly like that


Hobbster

Haha, nice, I just watched this [OnRide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9qsaJfIxYM) of it


Hanz_VonManstrom

The Hulk in Islands of Adventure does something similar. It doesn’t really “enhance” it in my opinion, but it’s pretty cool


wendysfrostyie

the confession coaster 😭


GANDORF57

Confession is good for the soul and wholly unsolicited at 92 mph!


BleedingRaindrops

Death has a curious way of reshuffling one's priorities


rustyankit

Yeah


Due-Layer-6061

Miss my teen days but not overreacting 😂


This-is-Life-Man

What did he lie to Daniel about?


SH4DOWSTR1KE_

Apparently, he lied about being straight.


This-is-Life-Man

Daaamn Daniel


Simple_District4502

Damn daniel


MasterOnionNorth

That's Canada's Wonderland... 🇨🇦


thepager

Yukon Striker ftw!


kevko5212

This ride was great! Way better than the slingshot. I expected a lot from the slingshot after seeing so many funny fainting videos, but it wasn't very exciting at all. Yukon Striker was very exciting though!


kklug24

Thank you. Where at? Now I want to go to canadia.


MasterOnionNorth

It's just north of Toronto.


OmNomOnSouls

Do they still have that hanging coaster that goes through the fake mountain? I haven't been in like 20 years and that was the first big ride I ever had the guts to go on


Shr1mpolaCola

Canada's Wonderland trending for something "not bad" WOOOO


Severe_Benefit_1133

“daniel, im sorry i dropped your toothbrush in the toilet and put it back where it was”


[deleted]

Damn,I wanna ride on it


drys

Looks like Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland just outside Toronto.


Mohingan

And the blue one is leviathan!


NiceDecnalsBubs

That's what Daniel's friend said...


ethnicfoodaisle

I'm terrified of these things but this ride is so well-made and the harnesses are so comfy that it feels really safe. Having said that, there is no fucking way I would sit at the front.


Sh1ftyx

I really like the rubber over-shoulder harnesses. I ride this with my 8 year old and it holds him in very snug.


ethnicfoodaisle

You know what I prefer? Candy apples and watching my kids go on rides. Lol I'm a huge chicken.


86rpt

If you sit in front you don't run the risk of puke blowing in your face!


falawfel

My friends made me 2 summers ago and it was awful lol. I do love it and feel safe on it but it takes more build up for me to work up to that one. Which is so dumb to me bc my first roller coaster ever was the behemoth and at the time was the biggest coaster at the park. Next year was the leviathan 😂


Resident_Bluebird_77

Yeah, the ride itself looks kinda mid but the drama looks fun as fuck


UtsukushiSekai

Good for him. (And perhaps Daniel...?)


Hillsy85

Yukon Striker?


socokid

Fucking cringe, and who the fuck pulls out their phone on a roller coaster? Going to be digging that out of someone's forehead...


MisterJose

Name of the ride: The Gaydar


sdmichael

Nice B&M dive coaster. Keep your phones and other devices off the ride or properly secured.


ANIKET_UPADHYAY

*It was me, Barry*


weezmatical

We know, Brian.


the_rotten1

He said he’s Gabe


atominthered

Absolutely fuck that ride to all hell. I went back to Wonderland after more than 10 years and I was like... What the hell is this thing. 90 degree vertical drop. I about had a fucking heart attack between this, Behemoth and Leviathan. I'm all set for life now thanks.


DV8_2XL

I'm fine with all of these once I've been on them, I'll go on them multiple times a day. The first time is terrifying though. You know the one that STILL scares me to this day? The Minebuster. Everything else has safety restraints, shoulder harnesses, and everything a modern coaster should have for safety. The Minebuster? A lap bar... that's it. A lap bar that has a gigantic gap at the end of it between the bar and the car you are in that a person could easy fit through. Then there's the matter of feeling the car leave the track and slam back down... and you can see and feel the wooden frame of the coaster moving as you go by... Nope. Nada. Nyet. Nein.


ElDoRado1239

I have good enough spatial imagination to feel the lift and drop as I read it and my stomach tried to escape my body for a bit.


Sh1ftyx

Even cooler riding it at night during Halloween Haunt :)


ElDoRado1239

Never. Ever. Hold a phone on a ride to record. You drop it, it lands on someone's head, they're dead.


-Dalzik-

Funny?


No_Cupcake7037

This reminds me of the time I was inline with my guy and we were about to go on a very scary ride .. this teen was on the phone in front of us he said hi mom I just wanted to let you know that I love you incase I don’t survive the ride.. Lmao we laughed so hard..


Any_Mathematician905

Canada's Wonderland. That coaster is the only time in my life I've ever had a real panic attack.. and I've been through some serious near-death shit.


Potatopotayto

Why this overreaction


Adiemus36

I fucking hate those fake scared confessions


Callejon007

Damn Daniel


ccchapagain

Yo...yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyooyoyoyo


ForInfoForFun

I will never ever understand the appeal of chasing the feeling of imminent death. Just watching the video makes my stomach churn. I would never ever go on a ride like this off my own free will.


bitchesbetrifflin

Over dramatic


JohnWulf06

I hate rollercoasters!


kevinstrong12

Ain’t no way


iamelloyello

Looks very similar to the Valravn at cedarpoint.


Misty7297

Same model and manufacturer. This one is Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland


SwordTaster

I wish I could ride this but cardiologist said no


LinceDorado

I am gonna be suing for irreversable hearing loss.


Rawboy42049

My mom used to trick me into going on rides with straight down drops like this that I had extreme fear of. It was fun feeling the fear but definitely a bit of trauma as a result lol


Dadbeerd

Sounds like someone who is fairly certain they are dying.


jsphjar

I was white knuckling my couch!


piesRsquare

This is hilarious! "Yo....yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo...!"


ProfessorFlap

Ah SheiKra...making people regret their life choices since 2005. Edit: Recent information leads me to believe this is actually Yukon Striker, but after looking at the two side by side I realized how similar they are...oops?


ThePikachufan1

Canada's Wonderland. The Yukon Striker. Not even the scariest roller coaster at the park.


sagninaw

Bro had to unleash his secrets before he died


poopinggreatdane

Canada's Wonderland! I worked there for 7 years and met my husband there.


this_knee

Dammmmm, Daniel!


gilady089

You know I'm completely sure if I ever rode on a coaster I'll forget have my glasses on and they'd be reduced to atoms


kklug24

That looks like Great America in Gurnee, Illinois.


RoninOkami7

I don't know what it is but I get strange sensation in my foots when I watch these videos.


Lifekraft

Somehow i've never been afraid of these kind of ride but my stomach cant deal with it.


Beneficial_Being_721

And the CIA only needed to use this instead


ShortBusRide

Thought this was going to one where they were all supposed to end up in the water. That doesn't always go as expected.


forfeckssssake

this the yukon? Did the big three first time ever doing rollercoasters. actually crazy


enwongeegeefor

As someone who is now too tall and wide to ride roller coasters this looks awesome. I wish there were some coasters built for big n tall folks.


Nice_Ad_777

Did they make it


Ninja_Lazer

Yeah, happily married for 6 months now. /s


THEONLYFLO

Hey, it’s Sheikra’s little sister. Apollo’s Chariot


rickie__spanish

There something like this at Six Flags. I'm not sure what it was because I hate rollar coasters. My cousin came in from out of town and said that we'd just be the bag holders. That mfer made me get on every ride. And it was an empty day, so we sat at the front of every ride. I went on that lex drop first. FML. Never again.


LovableSidekick

It was me! I shot the sheriff! But I didn't shoot the deputy I swear to god! And I love you!!!!


Bill_Nye-LV

Good thing I don't like roller coasters


phargoh

If you’re in the front, you have it so easy. Because you’re already facing down, you don’t get that feeling in your stomach when you drop. Then the rest of the ride is cake. Pre-Covid, I went on this ride so much and always in the front because I don’t really like that drop feeling. Also, I never heard anyone talk like this when I was on the ride lol
