    It’s crazy to see the steel phantom without the trim brake. My goodness it was hauling ass through those loops, even after the trim was installed!

    I rode it a lot. It’s nostalgia outweighs what it actually was like to ride it. It literally tried to snap your neck through the inversions.

    4.5 Million for a terrain hyper coaster is wild.

    Great compilation of clips from so long ago. You and Bill L look so young. And it was good to see Gary Baker, Rich Henry and Henny too.

    Wasn’t even alive for the laser loop and by the time I was tall enough for the steel phantom , phantom revenge was born. Sad because these rides looked so fun.

      It was way better as the steel phantom, but a bunch of whiney @#$nts had to cry about the loops being rough. I say go to kiddieland then. I wish you could experience the lazerloop and original steel phantom. Thank the crybabies that probably bought a shirt steel phantom survivor, like you're some bad@$$ for riding a rollercoaster and complaining about their heads getting banged against a padded shoulder strap.

      Arrow custom loopers are horrible. Rough transitions, bumpy track, horrible restraints, the restraints treat your head like a punching bag. I never rode the original but rode others and Anaconda at Kings Dominion is by far the worst coaster ive ridden and Corkscrew at Cedar Point is not much better.

      Laser Loop is basically comfirmed to be headed to a park near Niagara Falls (US side) for the 2022 season, so you'll get your chance to ride it.

      Arrow loopers are great and Anaconda is a fun ride. Don't be such a lame soy boy.

  • @lordraifwoulson
    @lordraifwoulson 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The G-forces were intense. I remember telling myself to push my head back against the headrest so it wouldn't fly forward like you saw with that little girl. I also remember starting to black out at the bottom of the second hill evetime I rode it. Fun times.

    Little did Jessie know that "fantasmic" would become the name of a Disney celebration event a year later at their amusement parks. What a coincidence.

    Laser Loop didn't go to Europe. Maybe that was the original plan, but it ended up in Mexico City. Now that park in Mexico is closed, and the ride has now been sent to Indiana, possibly for Indiana Beach or another park owned by the new owner.

    I remember the first weekend it opened up there were a lot of injuries. In the future there was a person on the loading platform asking people to take their earrings out. There was a girl that I went to school with that got whiplash from the ride. I thought it was a good ride the problem is that Arrow designed it wrong.

    They should sell aspirin or advil in the stations for all arrow custom loopers for $1.

      Yes your correct they took out the loops because not only its a mantmance nightmare but a headbanger Morgen a amrican manufacturer took out the loops and replaced it with airtime hills

    16:50 “that was fantastic”. even though she got the crap beaten out of her. Phantoms Revenge opened a few months after i was born so i never rode the original but with my experience on other Arrow custom loopers, Anaconda at Kings Dominion and Corkscrew at Cedar Point i can safely say the Steel Phantom would have sucked. Anaconda is the worst coaster o have ever ridden. Corkscrew isnt much better.

      The SP lived up to the reputation. It was a brain rattler. I can remember much head just bouncing between the headrests and leaving me dazed as a younger rider.
