I rode this around the time it first opened, I think it was back in 2004 if I recall. Waited 3 hours in line for a ride that lasts only 23 seconds. It was worth it.
lol. I thought the same thing till I got on it. It’s literally so fast that all the oxygen kinda gets taken from everyone so you hear people screaming before launch then it stops. Then once you hit the crest you can breathe and speak briefly lol
@@BertDaMonkeyit is more intense with inversions and unusual orientations. It’s a better ride. But that 400 ft peak of kingda ka is not more intimidating that anything on X2 to me
I went to Six Flags last week. I was SOOOO scared to go on this ride but there were literally no lines so I decided to do it. IT WAS SOOOOO MUCH fun that I rode it 3 times in a row.
I sat in the front when I rode it for the first and last time. It was phenomenal but I don't think I could ever repeat that again. That ride is so intense!
@@Thea20286 are you dumb? they make 40 mil every year, and thats not including six flags qiddiya, which is gonna cost a fortune, and theres salaries to think about, also i made a mistake, kingda ka costs 25 mil, and theres 27 six flags parks, so 25 million x 27 is 625 million. do some research before commenting "buddy"
Having a sunglasses in the front row certainly helps a lot. I did the same thing recently. The wind is an assault to your face due to how fast it’s going, and having those glasses will allow you to open your eyes. My only criticism about the ride is the twist during the drop. Twist/turn or anything that makes it more or less than a 90 degrees drop always greatly diminishes the drop thrill. But despite that, it’s my 2nd favorite roller coaster.
Traveled all the way from GA just to ride this coaster and it was definitely worth it. The other rides at this Six Flags are pretty great too, especially the Jersey Devil
One of my all time fav rides, went on 5 times in 1 day the season it opened, and many times since. It's almost like a modern, higher version of the old Batman/Robin Chiller ride (huge build up, huge drop). But, still, my fav ride in this park will always be Nitro. Nothing like it. Especially if u sit in the front or back row and close your eyes as soon as u leave the gate and wait until you drop
Then don’t go on a weekend I guess 🤷🏻♂️ I went last Thursday and for the first two hours the park was open, didn’t have to wait more than one train for a single ride. After 1:00 a handful of rides had lines 5-20 minutes tops but most still had literally none, including Ka. It was awesome
@@brandonr3741 lol yea I grew up in Jackson, I know the rules, its just pathetic they dont have a better system and then they create a long line system just to sell you a pass that lets you skip it. Its jokes. I just get a free flash pass by saying I have Epilepsy and get to just get times for the coasters. Overcast days are the best days, riding Nitro in the rain is the best ever, King da Ka is over rated and boring tbh.
@@UMadUCauseBad oh cool. Nitro was my favourite coaster there, but I loved them all (except green lantern lol). Kingda ka is gimicky but I definitely enjoyed it, I wouldn’t fancy waiting in a long line for it though. It’s a quick burst of ultra concentrated adrenaline and then it’s over.
@@brandonr3741yep!! me and my fam went last summer on a Thursday at like 5pm and didn’t have to wait on not one line, we just walked right in😭 we went on skull mountain 3 times!!!
rollercoasters close for maintenance often. it could be as simple as a cable snapping needed to be fixed (happens on lift hills and hydraulic launch coasters sometimes), or fixing track wear, changing trains, whatever.
Those cameras make it so much more condensed looking...like, not as high as it really is. I LOVE this coaster....you have to watch it from a phone view or mounted camera...or just go and ride it!!!❤
I used to live in New Jersey, so I’ve been to Six Flags a couple times. You never know when you’re at Six Flags until you see that monstrosity next to the parking lot.
One time the coaster couldn't make it to the top so we went backwards and had to start over. It's over so fast. El Toro is the coaster that will kick your behind. Pics of the people afterwards are straight up comedy!
I have ridden it several times- like the acceleration and other than that like loops and more. Remember lightning loops? The first and we thought it was the greatest… I think that there will be another similar to kingda kah that will add more riding fun
My friends and I did the Zumanjaro drop of doom, the ride attached to this one, while we were on acid and it ruled. Six flags on acid rules as long as you invest in good flash passes and don’t have to wait lol
I’ve been on this ride a few times in my life, you are going so fast and speeding up so quickly that it’s 1 extremely hard if not impossible to scream and 2 you can’t even hear it because of the wind speed at that speed
this ride is sm fun i went when i was 9 and i passed out the whole time then again when i was 11 it was so fun my gums nd skin were like flapping back😭 to this day i go on it every time i go to six flags
I like this coaster. Not saying its the best but is one of the best launch coasters i have been on. I personally think Storm Runner is better just because it has no headbanging but this is still a good ride!
Seeing how calm they are makes me less afraid
Just makes me aware of how much more afraid I really am
The ride is really fun you should try it. Holding your hands up is a different story.
@@IMGDToothy

I'm such a chicken that even half as bad as I think is still terrifying

@@wafflesthereturnofthesyrup5035though it was 07
That’s how you know its good! I got lucky one day when it was overcast in like September, there was like 25 people in line
The sort of quiet "woo" had me dying. BRO if i was going that fast going directly down on that thing I'd be screaming my voice box into extinction
Lol, that's a perfect way of saying what I'd do too. That and I'd pass out for sure. I dislike roller coasters.
You move so fast screaming is almost impossible because of all the force
lol. I thought the same thing till I got on it. It’s literally so fast that all the oxygen kinda gets taken from everyone so you hear people screaming before launch then it stops. Then once you hit the crest you can breathe and speak briefly lol
@@shellywop4627 yeahh I could probably imagine lol I think my soul would be left on the coaster
Heck no! 😮
If you can go on this roller coaster, you can go on anything.
I honestly feel like X2 is more intense

They need this roller coaster at every six flags out there 🙌. I could use a thrill or two at this point.
Nah fr they only one I really enjoy is nitro and batman
bro that would cost at least 200 mil

I rode this when it was at Cedar Point. Best adrenaline rush ever!
This is at Six Flags Great Adventure, NJ.
@@TessA-es3if do u mean dragster?
@@TessA-es3if uh... top thrill.. dragster? or tt2, assuming you went when tt2 was still open, or before ttd closed.
Hopefully you made it! Unfortunately, it’s shut down now!
Good one guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 now that’s a video !!! Thank you!
People watching this in 2024 without looking at when this was recorded: 👍😱🤯

Dang his face warped of too much speed. Incredible!

That looks SO crazy!
I've went on this ride but going up is way more scarier than going down, and you go so fast in one second, it can make you pass out.

As someone who loves roller coasters I can feel the drop from the screen 😂
You move so fast you don't even feel the drop
It's only fun when the line isn't 3 hours long
agreed 👍🏿

This is the roller coaster equivalent of eating cake icing. Did I mention I love cake icing? Great POV Collin!
"Reopened" raises immediate concerns for me lol
Snapped Cable caused it to close. It happens to all of these ride models.
rollercoasters close for maintenance often. it could be as simple as a cable snapping needed to be fixed (happens on lift hills and hydraulic launch coasters sometimes), or fixing track wear, changing trains, whatever.
The ride closed because when it started going up the hill it went backwards, it’s all fixed now. Nobody was injured
Ok good to no.
If they roll back the ride has been designed to brake the coaster to a safe stop
I went on this today. The feeling you get from it is so hard to describe. And the view you get at the top while going down is so crazy.
dang after seeing reopened i got hyper af until i realised the video is a year old.
The way I would Scream, cry, and Throw up at the same time 😭
The camera man that’s running along the track with them:
LMAO 😭
I knew I couldn't be the only one who had that thought 😉
Right??!!! 😂
Are u joking
@@Coolmanyayayasigmas no bro we’re being 100% serious

Awesome 360 footage bro
How that stays on the rails at that speed is absolutely insane

RIP Kingda Ka You Will Be Missed
Rode this several times. 1st time I was bruised up and down my arms from squeezing so tight in fear LOL best one out there
I just saw this again couple of days after finding out that Kingda Ka closed down and got so excited…
R.I.P. Kingda Ka 2005-2024 🪦
same
BRO took no reaction to the next level
I have ridden it several times- like the acceleration and other than that like loops and more.
Remember lightning loops? The first and we thought it was the greatest…
I think that there will be another similar to kingda kah that will add more riding fun
The launch in the video doesn't relay very well how tall this ride is, but it does seem like you get the feeling when you crest the top.
My friends and I did the Zumanjaro drop of doom, the ride attached to this one, while we were on acid and it ruled. Six flags on acid rules as long as you invest in good flash passes and don’t have to wait lol
Oh.
Heck Naw……that drop would take me out. Way too steep for them to be so calm. Holding Cameras, front row 💺 💺 WoW. Just watching freaks me OUT 😮 OMG 😳
Timothee Chalamet seems to be into rollercoasters now
Proof that the camera man never dies😂
Was just on this yesterday! I thought my face was going to be blasted off and left behind as I blasted off into space lol
This title aged really well
So brave 😎 great job❤❤
I got Exited for a second😔
OMG EXCELLENT FOOTAGE!!!!!!!!! Is that the curvature of Earth? 🤣
What kind of cameras are those? I LOVE THIS!!! I gotta get up there this summer!!! 😃
On a clear day, you can see both NYC and PHL from up there.
Do you have time to see both lol
I’ve been on this ride a few times in my life, you are going so fast and speeding up so quickly that it’s 1 extremely hard if not impossible to scream and 2 you can’t even hear it because of the wind speed at that speed
HIS FACE THO😂😂😂😂
Listen closely you can hear Peter griffin 😅 at the start
It’s such a fun ride, but def anxiety provoking during the long wait!
The entire ride from launch to back at base is 27 seconds... You can do it 🤘my favorite ride ever
Video doesn't do it justice. When you're there, and you look at the insane height of that drop.....NO THANKS!!!
seeing the height is insane- but going on it is not 😂
Great job! You hit 1 million views on this!
My father went on this ride when he was in his mid-70s.
Got me excited there for a second😢
😭sorry!!
this ride is sm fun i went when i was 9 and i passed out the whole time then again when i was 11 it was so fun my gums nd skin were like flapping back😭 to this day i go on it every time i go
to six flags
It’s the fact you have your arms like that the whole ride. My scary ass woulda went straight to holding on the pull over thing.😂😂
Props the camera man
Thank you!
Yesss it's like the dragster at Cedar Point...that take off do not care, you are not ready😮
Bro is so calm
the aggreessive shaking of his arm is killing me 🤣🤣

I was on that ride back when I went on a vacation to the US like 18 years ago 🙂 Cool to see it still operates!
I was still wondering if it would still be open when I went. Thanks for keeping me updated and nice pov!
I remember it being so fast my contact lenses almost flew out
I thought they had metal bars to rest their arms on for a second. Nah, they are quite literally just holding their arms out.
I've been on this numerous times and Everytime, I am deeply saddened at how fast it's over.😢😊
Everybody deserves an Oscar in a situation like this they was so calm
