What Happened To The Maliboomer | Disneyland's Original Drop Ride
What Happened: Season 1 Episode 1
In 2001, Disney's California Adventure would open to the public, featuring a more limited selection of attractions compared to what we have today. But one of those few attractions from opening day that didn't survive past the parks 10 year anniversary was, the Maliboomer. The Maliboomer was a 3 tower drop ride produced by S&S, and was a very popular model at the time, being built at many different amusment parks including Knott's Berry Farm just 10 minutes away from Disneyland. The ride ended up being torn down in mid 2010, due to the parks' new plan to update everything, to make it feel less like a budget park. So anyways, today, we dive into the Maliboomers' history and talk about how it started, how it ended, and what replaced it.

I loved this ride!!! These drop rides are my favorite! Definitely better themeing now, though....
Haha, nice!
😮😮😮😮
Whoa AWESOME!
Imagine throwing up
Ha, that would be a strange experience
This tower blocked screaming
Maliboomer was my favorite ride. I remember when I went in 2012 and I was upset that it was gone. I WILL NEVER FORGET
Beloved by who? Everyone hated it and it wasnt even popular lol its funny tho that it had a bad rep and was removed for being a generic mass produced attraction yet was replaced nearly a decade later by a generic mass produced attraction they moved from another area of the park and just rethemed lol
Not everyone hated it. Many people I've talked to who visited the park back when they had the maliboomer said it was one of their favorite rides there!
Same here. Mailboomer was a cheesy ride that epitomized the 2nd-rate nature of DCA. In 2001, Tokyo got DisneySea, while Anaheim got Six Flags over Disney.
My mom wouldn't let me ride this our first few trips to Disneyland, eventually she relented circa 2007, One thing you didn't mention is how the ride wasn't open to the air, you had a plexiglass shield in front of you on your harness, from what i heard, it was to keep the throw up from hitting people on the ground
Yeah, it's strange how they added those shields to the ride. I think it was due to the sound that they added them, just like with the scream tunnels incredicoaster
I visited DCA mid-demo of Maliboomer. I can honestly say that it was, in fact, literally "cut" from the park, as in order to remove it, it was necessary to cut off large "slices" of each tower, lower them to the ground and haul them away.
I had only ever briefly heard of this ride, but I haven’t heard anyone really talking about it, it’s great to see a video about it
Yeah, there's a lot of older rides from Disney's California Adventure that never really seem to get talked about often, other than superstar limo which people constantly bring up
Maliboomer >>>>> crappy Inside Out ride.
Agreed
@ inside out deserves so much better that a lame bugs land recycle of a crap ride.
Definitely, I'd love to see disney make an inside out dark ride or something
I feel like most of the paradise gardens park really needs a glow up tbh. I know it’s like “the kiddie area” but PLEASE. I really hope they but the coco area over there in the back.
I wouldn't say it's a "kiddy area" necessarily, but it is the last area in the park that consists of mostly carnival rides, I would like to see it redone into something better
@@rahasanum oh it’s coming. Coco area and Even Avatar land. That gate opens up to massive parking lot next to Pixar hotel. You will see the new expansion happening here. Stay tuned.
@ do we know where the avatar land will be??? Cuz honestly I feel like they can’t really take anything out of DCA. Like they HARDLY have enough rides compared to Disneyland rn. I hope it’s some sort of add on, maybe like behind Ariel’s and the rapids kinda like in the parking lot. I was thinking maybe they will take out monsters Inc but is there REALLY enough room over there for a whole land??? I was also maybe thinking they would take out grizzly peak and soarin but they can’t do that, that’s like what makes DCA, DCA. I honestly feel like avatar doesn’t fit in DCA and they probably should just do a 3rd park or something. Rip out of the hotels and build a few new ones or something.
@ they will remove nothing. Expect massive dca expansion behind paradise pier. To the left of the Pixar hotel. With the massive parking lot next as I clearly said above ;)
I heard Avatar could maybe replace the Hollywood area, but I don't think anythings been confirmed yet
Back when this closed, they likely didnt have the Pixar pier vision yet. They could have easily re-themed this into Buzz Lightyears Space Shot. "To infinity and beyond!" Launch!
Yeah, that would've been awesome!
It was open in the mid 90s.
Right next to Heritage ctrain station
This tower blocked screaming
Yep, it's so strange looking at old photos of that
No water park? I guess that means less chance to catch tgat flesh eating anoeba ..
It was lame compared to SYLVAN!
Fun
I don't
RIP mindbender as well
Never rode on this, but I do remember it.
I don't remember it
This is not what I think of when I think of Knotts. I think of 3 employees that Cedar fair let go. These people are who I miss!
What?
You forgot hammerhead!
GUYS MAKE THIS COMMENT BIG. I was recently visiting galaxy land and we were queueing for galaxy orbiter and we were talking with the ride operator and she said that hasbro was spending a couple million dollars to paint the area black
Oh, that's interesting
@ ikr
What sucks is, even if it is a new coaster, it’ll probably just be a vekoma junior coaster or something, since Galaxyland said they were aiming to be a more family-oriented park, which was one of the main reasons they removed Mindbender
No reason to go. No thrill rides. Yawn boring. I wish six flags would buy the dump
Wow!
Submarine Quest was a good ride👍
Another fun fact it's B&M's first inverted coaster to feature magnetic brakes and an overbanked turn
Please make a part 3 to this video
I did! So far I have made 4 of these videos
hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooóooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
E
Everyone is welcome
I’m guessing you didn’t have any video of the actual ride so you had to use Kings Island’s flight commander.
I rode all of them and my favorite one is hang time because we were in the frount and it was scary and funny
I love this coaster, I'm really sad that it'll be closing. It was one of my first bigger coasters when I was younger.
This was a super rough ride for my wife and I. The only coaster we skipped re-riding when we visited again even with no line.
Sure hope they put a new coaster in as a replacement.
Agreed
They absolutely will chill
Closing in September of next year
Totally agree! It barely is in order
I used to think you got lowered down
Wem employee according to CBC news: “we are excited to announce that we are working on groundbreaking new plans for family thrills that will immerse our guests in an out-of-this-world experience." Basically, they are making it fucking family friendly. Not adult only thrills, not a ‘dangerous ‘ adrenaline rush ride, a family ride. Now there is ABSOLUTELY NO “thrill “ rides of any kind, anywhere near here. Vancouver, and Calgary have good ines, so you now have to drive like 4 hours minimum for a good roller coaster, AND only during summer :))) I fucking hate the city man
“Out of this world experience” push’s me towards the idea that it’s gonna just be the “theatre- shooting “ game that was once there under the mindbender what a joke. Fucking joke.
The crazy mouse ride and log ride is great too
Was the tallest coaster*
One day me and my friend Eddie rode windjammer 11 times back in 1998
Awesome video Alex, is the ski pov video yours?
Yep!
I did not
