- This is currently the only one like it in the world! It amazes us that more of these were never built, because Lightning Run packs a huge punch!

Proof that you can have a great coaster without being 200 or 300 feet tall.
Nobody said otherwise
@@Joel38672 ?
Just like maverick
Looks more fun and thrilling than Goliath at Magic Mountain
There needs to be more Hyper GT X's built. They are a great coaster and would shine in smaller parks.
They're outside the price range of smaller parks, unfortunately. It's the same issue with the Intamin Mega-Lite - the parks they're meant for can't foot the bill and the parks that can would rather put that money into something bigger and more impressive to the GP. Honestly, the only parks I could see getting these in the future are the Fun Spot parks, since they're a full chain that specializes in smaller parks.
@@VestedUTuber that’s not true lightning run was less than 10 mil i believe, intamins are just more expensive
@@VestedUTuber what this ride was 7 million that is well within small parks price range
@@peterschwab5259
A Vekoma SLC would have cost $5 million back when they were produced. Flat-packed wooden coasters are significantly cheaper than even that. Not every coaster is a monster like Fury or a themed masterpiece like Hagrids'.
@@VestedUTuber ? none of that has anything to do with what i said lmao
This is literally the Chance Rides version of the RMC Raptor, except this came before the Raptor. It's smooth, compact, and has lots of ejector airtime. This ride even uses RMC lap bars!
Oh god it does?
I'm pretty sure that the trains are RMC trains, just with some different bodywork, I mean even the seats look the same. RMC loves working with other Manufacturers like S&S and Skyline Attractions
Man, I dislike RMC lapbars and trains.
@@jonny-b4954 I for one love them, though they aren't as good as El Toro's Trains. But they still beat Flight Of Fear's trains... I'm 6ft 1in, I fit on RMCs, I fit on PTCs, I fit on B&Ms, I even fit on Backlot Stunt Coaster's trains, but I barely fit on Flight of Fear's trains
@@coastaku1954 I am 6’4 and I can’t stand Flight of Fear’s trains! I still fit on RMCs though
It's a shame more smaller parks haven't been buying this model up. Such an underappreciated ride
Yeah. Most seem to like getting relocated Vekoma clones instead. Really lame
Such and underrated coaster. It needs more recognition.
Wth are you talking about. A lot of people talk about this
@Enzo Discovery ikr
@enzodiscoverymoonlight According to random people on the internet EVERYTHING is underrated lol.
This coaster proves that you don’t need to go big to have a great ride! We need more of these things.
Fun Fact, Lightning Run appears to run on steel/alloy wheels. Something not found on other steel coasters, that use polymer wheels.
I wonder if they use urethane bushings or blocks between trucks and car frames to reduce roughness of metal wheels. also Metal wheels , least friction of all other oprtions meaning more SPEED!
@Arrow Dynamics Inc.
Their shape is comparable to B&Ms wheels, so it hugs/wraps around the track. Perhaps modern metal machining tools allow it with their higher tolerances. Essentially, the tiny imperfections in the past would make it too rough, but modern machining can 3D carve out a perfect wheel.
It could also simply be because it is a prototype. So it was easier to just do steel to experiment with shape and design. Essentially every wheel has to be custom made currently. Bad for mass produced models, but better for a still one off prototype.
@Arrow Dynamics Inc. it may be because they took a while to start using computer aided design, most companies were already using it by the 90s
No wonder it can hold absurd amount of energy considering it's only has 100ft head energy.
although I have not ridden it I can just see that it looks it gives really good airtime.
same, but im going to ride it next month for the first time
The blue Arrow-looking track reminds me of Drachen Fire as it coils around low to the ground. I would love to see BGW let Chance rides have a go at another Drachen Fire in the Festhaus Park.
It's actually Morgan track, same track used on Phantom's Revenge
@@coastaku1954 It's still similar to arrow track.
@@SingleRiderGuy But it's actually Morgan track, which is an evolved form of Arrow Track
@@coastaku1954 Exactly
I remember I rode this ride just today! I was holding on screaming for dear life!!! 😱😱😱😱
Chance Rides seemed to have caught on to RMC before most manufacturers like B&M and Intamin. They used airtime hills and even a snappy outerbanked hill- something not even RMC did until Twisted Timbers.
I wish there were more of these
One of my favorite coasters wish it was a little longer but a fantastic coaster
I wish there were more of these. I'm also going to Kuntucky Kingdom for the first time next month, excited to ride Lightning Run and Storm Chaser
To the best coaster at Kentucky Kingdom!
Fun fact: at 0:35 if you look closely right before and after the first drop you could actually see Greased Lightning's footers from where the beyond vertical loop used to be. And for those who don't know what grease lightning was it was a Schwarzkopf shuttle launching roller coaster that used to run at six flags Kentucky Kingdom before his closure in 2009. Another fun fact is that lightning run uses the same station as Greased Lightning as well.
The footer for Greezed Lightnins weight drop tower still exists as well, you can see it most on Google street view
I'd be more than happy to have a coaster like this or an RMC Raptor at SeaWorld San Diego, my home park, that'd make me wanna get a season pass.
This was my 100th coaster! A great layout, and a great ride in the front row. The restraints aren't the most comfortable though, and it's a bit brutal on the legs towards the back.
Still cannot believe that this is the only one of its kind! Are they expensive for what you get maybe?
I've pondered this. I can see it being more expensive than say the standard RMC Raptor but is it really anymore than larger single rail? I'd take one of these as a new addition anyday.
It was 7.6m or something for kk to get
Now that’s what I call a perfect roller coaster
Day 2 of commenting Taylor’s name wrong until he gets to ride Arie Force One:
Taylor BumbleBee
Isn’t there a Hyper GTX going to hot wheels land or something? Did I just lose my mind?
Yes
I love this ride but as KK being my home park, i can confidently say they have been doing one train ops, even on summer saturdays. I haven't seen the purple train go since last year D:
the ending bunny hops ! classic!
Now this coaster looks like it kicks ass!
when it’s running full speed, the train doesn’t fully slow until it’s already on the turn into the station.. you can tell it’s a morning ride cause it stops 20+feet before that turn
Aggressive little blue beast right there!
My upper thighs still hurt two years later from the ejector air on this thing. An amazing thing in a small package.
Those last three bunny hills had great airtime but the fact it hurts so much just proves that they really need to redesign those bricklike restraints. Personally I enjoyed the entire ride except the finale
I love it. Looks like an arrow looper( with no inversions) with rmc profiling.
Wonder woman flight of courage is now ready at Six flags magic mountain!
This video is giving my shins & thighs nam flashbacks, lol.
awesome content.
Probably the most under rated coaster in American.
This is a basically a wanna be RMC Raptor but has its track that looks like Arrow and basically runs like an RMC
Can't wait to ride it!
A brilliant Joe Draves design
I love how they call it a hyper when it’s not a hyper haha. This ride is absolute amazing though
Proof that arrow track can make a smooth insane coaster.
Very smooth transitions
This is the only thing that made me remember chance rides even exists
This is quite good for a kiddie coaster manufacturer
Most of their coasters are toboggans lol
I hope Adventureland gets a Hyper GTX. This would be a perfect fit, especially if they could get a launch on it somehow
i feel like i’m the only one who has this in my top 10 overall
this looks better than some rmcs jesus
the end of this ride is like when you press auto complete in Planet Coaster.
The perfect example of how stats don't always matter!
Do the seatbelts prevent you from getting alot of airtime? I've never been on it.
I went on this one i was terrified😅
Fun asf
I wonder what a chance hyper would look like 🤔 if the layout is on par with this just bigger, then I think it could rival any other company as of now.
It's just RMC, but full steel
Vekoma saw this in 2015 and got a big ol' brainwave
That's funny it says it's built by Chance but the track style looks so vekoma/Arrow
Chance bought Morgan, so they use that kind of track from them.
Its basically "modern Morgan" track, as chance owns Morgan now. So if anything its mini steel phantoms revenge. I wish there were many of these around, I'd wish for funspot Orlando (but I can also see them getting a raptor given they are working with Rmc right now).
Have you heard about the partially derailed coaster incident in Denmark? Thoughts?
it's very sad :(
Mattel park much?
Third/fourth person be like: YES IM THIRD IM SO COOL YEAAAAAA
I went on this today and I almost passed out-
The big reason why parks don’t buy into this is it’s low marketability. Enthusiasts love it and GP love it after they ride it, and it gets popularity from word of mouth. A hyper GTX wont draw massive regional crowds because there’s nothing to market with this ride
I'll rather blame the storm chaser's popularity.
It's still the same ejector ride, but let's be honest, storm chaser arguably do much better thing.
Edit : why tf both Intamin and RMC has similar name
@@bocahdongo7769 I’m with ya on that one. Storm chaser and lightning run both try to accomplish the exact same thing.. but storm chaser just does it better
Is a hyper gt x basically just a normal sized ride with hyper elements or what?
No, the name means nothing lol
Best in the park?
When is the reaction POV?
And the reverse pov?
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖💖
👍
WEAK! You
