I haven't been able to ride a 🎢🎢rollercoaster🎢🎢 since my health deteriorated. I used to absolutely love Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. It was my "Home park" and we loved it! The American Eagle was one of the best ever made! So many epic rides from the Power Dive, a Space Shuttle that swung back and forth, back and forth, until you hung upside down way up in the air. People's change/coins clanging off the metal "roof". Or the Shock Wave, the head rattling coaster that sometimes could give you a massive migrane headache! The old Turn of the Century or "the Demon". Iron 🐺🦊Iron🐺Wolf🦊🐺, Z-Force, and many other classical rides. Sadly my health has deteriorated to the point where walking is no longer an option. I used to love these rides! Especially 🦇🦇Batman🦇🦇!! Oh I forgot the old Tidal Wave. Another classic!
@themeparkPOV…. the video starting with you walking up the entry point is longer than the vid of the ride…that really sucks…and then the ride vid is super shaky…needs work.
In 55 years of riding coasters this is the only one I got stuck on. At the very end coming in to the station, train stopped and we spent 45 minutes in the hot sun waiting to move. I damn near pissed my pants.
Hold on the same thing happened to me it was on a sunday of August 25th and it was very hot that day snd we got stuck near the end of the ride and waited in the heat
I've ridden this ride a thousand times! Yes, it's a good one. They even have it set up where you can hear a roaring sound as you're going through the air riding it, supposed to be like a ghost sound. So cool! And while you wait you go inside the house to get on the ride and the house is real goopy looking because it's supposed to be the ghosts have taken over. Make sure to lay your head back on the headrest before the ride takes off though because it gets up to sixty mph from the start and you'll want to make sure your head is on that rest.
@@MidwestRainstorms poltergeist has the same launch speed, has amazing theming and runs noticeably smoother because of the refurbishment it got a few years ago.
@@MidwestRainstorms SFA’s site says Joker accelerates in “just over 3 seconds” and SFFT says Poltergeist accelerates “in less than 3.5 seconds” so the difference felt just as negligible as I thought.
You can disassemble and rebuild it in my front yard! This is one of the first roller coaster videos where I can say. I HAVE TO GO THERE AND RIDE! BUCKET LIST!
For some strange reason this ride looks similar to Outer Limits Flight of Fear that came out in the 90’s at King’s Dominion in Virginia. It’s inside a building totally dark that flashes lights every now and then. Awesome ride.
I live in the area when it was built it was only the second or third coaster in the park behind the Rattler and perhaps boomarang and they needed that q. Now not so much I doubt it gets full even on busy holidays
How is this cost efficient to run this with hardly any people? Was this during spring break? Did they raise the prices? Or is this not a popular ride? Looks like fun though❤
@@Red_Ryan_Red apparently you did not comprehend my basic economic question. I do not go to ANY park during spring break. I did however travel to this park to ride this ride, it was pretty awesome. 😎. Have a good day
This looks like the same layout as The Outer Limits but outdoors instead of in a building. That coaster was renamed a long time ago when King's Island was sold but I'm too lazy to look it up right now.
I couldn’t get on a roller coaster like that too fast for me and I don’t do fast roller coaster’s like this the closest I’ll get to a fun more exciting roller coaster is big thunder mountain rollercoaster at Disneyland best ride ever❤
It's only 55 MPH. Everything in the structure is just so close it seems like it's going faster. It's a really fun ride. you should brave it. It's pretty mild.
@@haqqrasheed3115ok I’ll give it a try thank you for ur kind words very much appreciated god bless u and have a good summer stay cool it’s gonna be hot 🥵
Dam this thing is old! I used to have a roller coaster book as a kid and this roller coaster was in it. But back then it was yellow! It looks crazyyyyyyyyy
Well the queue looked rather boring. But its pretty much a spagetti coaster just outdoors. However the definition of a Poltergeist is a noisy ghost/ spiritual creature.. so i guess making a ride based on that concept works
They had to clean this ride and put a trash bag over one of the seats bc a girl puked her brains out on this thing back in like '08. Doesn't surprise me, this coaster is a damn twister on wheels and she probably ate a bad chili dog before or something haha classic
The video wasn’t that bad. The ride itself, though, seemed kinda boring. No music, no sounds, no theming of any kind along the track. Just some flashing lights in the boarding area.

You need to give the people getting off the ride a little bit more space and time before you get on.
Thought this was a write-back posting from the video uploader. (Theme Park POV) Since it isn't, I am removing my comment.

That haunted house theme at the beginning is awesome!
What an amazing job they did with this new queue layout !
Poltergeist is a fun roller coaster, and I love the updates. SFFT seems to be putting more into the theming of their rides, which is fantastic!
What an awesome layout for such a small space.
This is an UNDERRATED Rollercoaster!
I rode that back in '09. It was my favorite roller coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. I'd love to do it again.

That right is definitely a headbanger. Lots of turns and loops. Fast. You'll definitely come off either dizzy or with a headache.
Polty is one of my go to’s at SFFT. It’s just fun.
So this is an outdoor replica of Flight of Fear? Cool!
WOW! Really love the Queue theming for this ride! Nice!
Definitely my favorite of the four spaghetti bowl coasters in the US. Hauls ass and runs much smoother than the indoor Flight of Fear coasters.

I agree the Kings Island version is just plain garbage....
Awesome & fantastic roller coaster!
Where's the bagpipe music coming from?
You can disassemble and rebuild it in my front yard! This is one of the first roller coaster videos where I can say. I HAVE TO GO THERE AND RIDE! BUCKET LIST!
Well themed. 👍
The cue, anyhow. Then it becomes just a bunch of looping tracks in the sun over concrete.
For some strange reason this ride looks similar to Outer Limits Flight of Fear that came out in the 90’s at King’s Dominion in Virginia. It’s inside a building totally dark that flashes lights every now and then. Awesome ride.
Same model
It is the same model, poltergeist is just outside. Lol
It is the outdoor version of outer limits flight of fear at kings island in ohio
I immediately knew this is just outdoor flight of fear lol!
Roy, it is. Exactly same layout as indoor fof at kd and ki. Also same as outdoor joke's jinx at sf. america in Maryland. Ur right.
Cool I love this ride at six flags
My first ever launch coaster
How long were the wait times for most of the rides?
This is basically the Flight of Fear ride at Kings Island without the building around it.
Yeah, it looks like the exact same layout from my memory of riding _The Outer Limits_ in 1999. The small corkscrew at the very end was the clincher.
It looks a beast 👍🏻😊
Looks and sound like the incredible hawk roller coaster at Isles of adventure in Florida
This looks ruff😊
Dope ❤
That was en exact copy of 'Superman: The Ride' in SixFlags Holland, currently known as 'Walibi Holland'.
Similar, but not quite
It’s completely different manufacturer and layout
What day did you go on? It doesn’t look busy at all 😯
The entrance path is longer than the ride 😂😂
I hate having to practically walk "a mile" just to ride a 1 minute or so/less ride...ridiculous!
It seems very disappointing!
@@wyattalsbury2687that’s how rides work most of the time
I live in the area when it was built it was only the second or third coaster in the park behind the Rattler and perhaps boomarang and they needed that q. Now not so much I doubt it gets full even on busy holidays
NICE!! ❤❤
This ride is almost 90% Kings Dominion flight of fear but it's done in the dark there
When I rode this, the guy said “All clear.” Then he said “All clear means you’re outta here, goodbye” and threw us into the ride!
This would be the perfect replacement for viper coaster at magic mountain
Dieing to visit texas six flags just to ride this
Did u use a go pro or something else
Very fast wow
How is this cost efficient to run this with hardly any people? Was this during spring break? Did they raise the prices? Or is this not a popular ride? Looks like fun though❤
Parks like SFFT that run year round usually aren’t super crowded during the offseason when people aren’t traveling.
@@Stagnant_Gravy Thank you for the answer, this way I know when is the best time to go😆😆
Spring break is one of the worst times to visit due to crowds... you must be new to theme parks lol.
@@Red_Ryan_Red apparently you did not comprehend my basic economic question. I do not go to ANY park during spring break. I did however travel to this park to ride this ride, it was pretty awesome. 😎. Have a good day
Same as Jokers Jinx at Six Flags America and The Flight of Fear at King's Dominion and King's Island the latter two being indoors.
Ngl I prefer the other clone of this in Maryland. Six flag’s America has an exact clone called jokers jinx
❤❤❤❤wow
Look exactly like the Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion..... Only difference is F.O.F is inside of a building and has a space/alien theme
Bingo
looks like fun but also reminds me of a kinnex track. the building blocks similar to lego.
Where's Carrol-Ann when you need her
The same as the Joker's Jinx in Six Flags America
Bingo
Can you do the gully washer next?
Nice
Nice theming.
So underrated..
So if there’s a long line, you have to stand in the haunted house queue??
My memory of riding this ride is that it seemed very fast, very unpredictable, and extremely disorienting.
It took longer to get to the ride than it did to run the thing!
What's the ride have to do with evil
Que sonho !!
Looks like a cute family coaster
This looks like the same layout as The Outer Limits but outdoors instead of in a building. That coaster was renamed a long time ago when King's Island was sold but I'm too lazy to look it up right now.
Flight of Fear
No brake run, I'd ride this 😂
Dude that’s just rock&roll coaster outdoors
Agreed
It’s not
Different manufacturer different ride
Ohh ok

I like the part where it goes straight.
I guess I don't understand the theme if it is only referenced in the Queue. I like rides that keep the theme going through the entire ride.
Dam this thing is old! I used to have a roller coaster book as a kid and this roller coaster was in it. But back then it was yellow! It looks crazyyyyyyyyy
1.5 is how he ride feels
Well the queue looked rather boring. But its pretty much a spagetti coaster just outdoors. However the definition of a Poltergeist is a noisy ghost/ spiritual creature.. so i guess making a ride based on that concept works
I kno jokers jinx when I see it
Shih built like when I left my wired headphones in my pocket!
This is the jokers jinx from six flags America
Ohhh there’s sweet lil Christine! lol
I thought that but Christine was red, the car in psycho was like that one but wasn’t “alive”
I rode it both from the front car and the back. The back is better due to the facr you get a speed effect when you look at the front car.
rode this ride, loved it until the BRAKES at end of ride.. ouch at 3:40
It’s just a mass of twists with a couple inversions thrown in. No pacing at all. Pass.
No pony tail girls twirly in the wind.
We didn’t need the first 2.5 minutes walking through the lineup and waiting to board! Ugh
This is Rock N Rollercoaster outside.
No. Different manufacturer and different layout.
Is that it😮
This one was one and done for me... headache city lol
Too much upside down for me. Some can expect a headache after this ride. I prefer rides like El Toro.
You can handle a bunch of forceless inversions but you can't handle the strongest airtime of any coaster 💀
Theming is awesome but I would never ride this.
They had to clean this ride and put a trash bag over one of the seats bc a girl puked her brains out on this thing back in like '08. Doesn't surprise me, this coaster is a damn twister on wheels and she probably ate a bad chili dog before or something haha classic
TH-cam Dean Odle EU The Great Creation Debate Of 2023!!! :)
Coaster layout looks kinda boring
Yeah, i think im good lol
Award for worst rollercoaster video goes to... This guy.
I think its pretty good quality also why is this top comment 💀
And you can do better? I think it was a great video!
Exactly….
didn’t realize Lovelace creative co was run by a hateful scumbag
The video wasn’t that bad. The ride itself, though, seemed kinda boring. No music, no sounds, no theming of any kind along the track. Just some flashing lights in the boarding area.
This is not frightening @all
Painfull
YAWN . . .
Ride looks like it sucks
🤦🏿 no real drops 1 loop! Ill paas
Wow. Looks like a horrible ride. For a short line yes.
Worst video ever? No, but close.
Well, that looks pretty lame.
Garbage
When you had to "secure" your phone , how did you record this ?
Smh. Jokers Jinx. Six Flags America. 😂🥱 Nope.
