My father hates rollercoasters and rides. Somehow I managed to convince him to ride this ride when we went in 2012. I regretted it. He regretted it. Never again.
I got stuck on this coaster in 2015 with my dad - face down at the end of the experience. When we finally got out of the ride, we agreed it was the worst coaster we've been on. I just called him to say "EVERYONE HATED THAT THING" and he was relieved we weren't out of line for saying so.
In my opinion, being stuck upside down is still better than being stuck on a singing ride. I got stuck on the singing heads portion of Disneylands Haunted Hansion for 10 minutes and euuuuuugh. Imagine hearing a single line of a song repeated for that long. I'm just lucky it wasn't Small World.
Me: Worst Six Flags coaster? This looks exactly like the one they're building at La Ronde Defunctland: The coaster was to be moved to La Ronde Me: SHIT
Hopefully it will be better there. The reason this ride is so bad is because California FORCED Six Flags to install weights that none of the other Zac Spins have.
Definitely a stupid movie. I felt like it was just a movie of Seth rogen saying half way witty shit and being an asshole to an Asian guy who’s trying to be the new Jackie Chan.

I'm convinced Green Lantern is a cursed IP outside the comics, given how the movie bombed, the cartoon was cancelled, and it had a horrible amusement park ride.
In a similar fate next to the Fantastic 4 movies as well as the infamous Captain Marvel movie (though to be honest, Fantastic 4 before the 2015 abombination was better than those two). Cursed would be somewhat an understatement and like Green Lantern, I pray one day that he will get a good film somewhere.
For anyone wondering what has happened since this video: La Ronde has cancelled their planned installation of the coaster as Vipère, as the coaster has disappeared from storage and the concrete footings were poured but later removed - probably for the best. Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage, a single-rail RMC Raptor, has been put up where First Flight (and Tidal Wave) used to stand and is using its queue building, obviously rethemed to Wonder Woman. EDIT: By "disappeared", I mean that the coaster's tracks and supports used to be just lying out in the open at La Ronde, but now they're nowhere to be seen. While it's theoretically possible that it has been moved or sold to another park, by far the most likely scenario is that it was sold for scrap.
From someone who go to La Ronde each year because there's nothing at about an hour or 2 from where i am , i'm glad we didn't get this monstrosity of a " coaster " , even if nothing replaced it , it's still better than wasting money on this ''coaster''

I literally blacked out on that ride because my cart was spinning so fast lol. So imagine not being able to see and getting your privates crushed at the same time lol
I blacked out on Goliath coaster during a Magic Mountain "free preview". Soon after I became coaster phobic and never went to amusement parks again. I remember how Goliath took a really long time to officially open although Taco Bell commercials kept saying coming soon to magic mountain. I was surprised how many people would tell me they were going to magic mountain for free to try out a rollercoaster, it was then I knew Six Flags Corp uses people as guinea pigs when there are complaints from humans.
@@trickwillis yeah same I passed out on that one too and I messed up my neck and it hurt really bad for the rest of the day. There was too much centrifugal force and I felt like my head was almost being ripped off and I got really scared for a moment
tbh when I first saw this footage I thought that the car would come to a still stand at that point cus it takes quite some time for it to show up/move again
Same here. The ride was crushing my balls so hard I thought I was gonna lose them. But after going on it I never went on it ever again and good riddance.
Jenazad I was actually just thinking that if Disney ever builds a Deadpool ride, they need to take a shot at this one in his typical fourth wall-breaking fashion. A ride based on an R-rated series might be a tough sell, though, so maybe it could be an overlay of another ride that’s only broken out during later hours. “Hello, and welcome to Space Mountain: the Deadpool Experience. Don’t worry, fellas: unlike that piece of shit coaster that one of our competitors eventually dumped on Ryan Reynolds’s home country, this one won’t try to scramble your eggs.”
I hope defunctland looks into another former coaster from the same park named Flashback. It gave people whiplash and concussions on the regular. I don't know anyone who walked off that ride not holding their neck or head. The side of the foreheads would dribble back and forth between the neck rests, it felt like Manny Pacquiao was doing some insane multi combos to your head.
“It is not often that the removal of a ride of any kind is cheered, but if there’s a silver lining to be had, unsuspecting guests would no longer be suspect to the pain and whiplash caused by Green Lantern… …so long as they DON’T WATCH the movie.” Possibly the best closing line in a Defunctland episode EVER!!
"Some called the ride neutered, fitting considering that others began reporting that this is what the ride did to them" I wish I learned about this channel earlier
2:38 You can patent anything, the office only checks for originality not pheasability. There was a psychist couple that patented a birthing chair that involved spinning the woman around and ejecting the baby using centrifugal force. No consideration was given to how that would be very uncomfortable for the woman and deadly for the baby. It was inspired by the wife's own labor and them going "what if faster"
The water gushing out during the test run- I thought it was everyone on the coaster vomiting in unison. I wish I was kidding, but I'm simply trying not to laugh as I use voice to text for this comment.
Lawyers are usually the best at navigating the patent filing process. Abraham Lincoln was once a patent attorney, and he patented an invention to help boats over obstructions, making the only US president to have a patent.
My girlfriend is in law school and has friends who plan on going into patent law, almost all those folks have engineering/STEM backgrounds since it majorly helps to understand the science behind the products you’re helping to patent. My guess is that’s the case with this guy
The coolest part of the Batman ride was the actual entryway. It was your standard warehouse batcave setup, but in the middle of the room was a hologram of the batmobile. While queuing up for a ride one time, I reached "into" the hologram and pretended to rotate it; upon doing so the hologram actually rotated with my hand! The unit they were using must have had some sort of motion tracking, although no attention was ever drawn to this feature by the entry setup. Just a neat little memory from high school this video brought up. It was a pretty fun coaster too, a little short but my friends and I had season passes so we'd always go on slow days and ride it till we got sick when it first opened.
I have worked as a ride operator on one of these rides in Europe and I can tell you that we picked people to try and balance it, NOT to make it lopsided to "maximise the spin". If you load the cars uneven they might get stuck when they return to the station and if a ride operator doesn't spot it and turn it right side up, it turns into a maintenance nightmare. Worst case you could get two cars stuck, one at the waiting section and one at the top of the lift. So no, we didn't pick people to make it heavier on one side.
That sounds like a nightmare in general. I had a little ride op job as a teen in the late 2000s going into the early 2010s. We had a zip line with seats that had a 250lb weight limit because anymore than than, the seats dropped too low to bring the platform back in once the ride was over. I hated guessing or asking weight and I was only dealing with 1 to 3 people 😩
I have sympathy for those who accept jobs at amusement parks. Ferris Wheels have the exact same problem and the one at my local park is partially slowed *manually*. In other words, if the weight is undisturbuted evenly, the wheel is MUCH harder to actually stop. So, when a young woman operating the ride for the first time tried to grab the seat rail to let the customers off... The wheel took her some feet off the ground before it stopped.
@@VerbenaHA I'll pay my respect to you too ;-; (I wasn't expecting so many amusement park employees, so from now on if you add your story I auto pay respects to you) F

Happened to me before I was 10 years old my mom started crying and holding onto me while we were in the middle of the air and they didn’t even do anything at the end
Exactly why i usually skip the Beserker (flat ride) at Kings Dominion. Hanging by a shoulder harness for seconds at a time on a 40 year old ride, yeesh. Haven't ridden in awhile, scary ride for sure!
me: "Huh, a video that's just about a bad Six Flags coaster from 2011? That seems out of character for recent Defunctland..." video: "On May 29, 1973..." me: "ah, there it is..."
The most brutal ride I've ever been on. Near got myself a concussion from how violent it whipped me and my siblings around. A true one and done experience. I never touched that again.
I went on it right before it closed and I also remember having fond memories of it. That was until the operator told me he hated the ride and after I got off... I had to agree with him.
“While there was a minority of people who enjoyed the ride.” Yeah Masochists. To some of the people in my replies,I don’t see how getting my balls crushed would be sexually pleasing.Especially on this train wreck of a ride.
ok so one thing that i learned with this video is that there are "four-dimensional" roller coasters, but funnily enough, arent actually 4D for obvious reasons. one day this gave me an idea. i will create a real 4D roller coaster, that will travel in time and take you to the point in the timeline in which you've finished riding the coaster. overall, you will experience nothing and the entrance fee will be $100,000.
Two points to make. First, as far as marketing goes, treating rotational displacement as a dimension is relatively honest. Second, I'd be impressed if anyone made a roller coaster that _didn't_ travel through time (at one second per second, if you aren't measuring with an atomic clock).
I typically don’t comment on videos but this one gave me such intense flashbacks I had to share. It had to have been 2015, so after the throwing star had been filled in to reduce spins. My sister, my mom, and I all decided due to both the lack of line and the fact we had never rode Green Lantern before, we would give it a shot. Suffice to say, we never rotated once on that ride, and my sister blacked out as the ride entered into its final drop. My mom had severe bruising on her chest due to her body hitting the restraints. I, meanwhile, did not get injured but Green Lantern left such a mark on us that we still call it the worst ride we have ever been on
I remember screaming on that ride. Not out of enjoyment, but pain. That momentum down would just force the restraint tighter down on your stomach/pelvis. Worst design ever
We have that at Great Adventure, too. I didn't go on it often (I've had seizures so I can't go on roller coasters anymore), but I remember that it replaced the universally-hated Great American Scream Machine. I hate those kinds of restraints.
Honestly I believe Green Lantern coasters are just cursed. Here in Nj, I would say the worst rollercoaster is the Green Lantern one, which is just you getting you head smashed against the restraint for a minute.
14:21 I've seen funny comparisons, but the one person comparing First Flight to "a penny that accidentally got thrown into the washing machine" is one of the funniest things i've ever read.
Americans tried to invade Québec twice, and now they''re sending us Green Lantern: First Flight? I'm really starting to doubt how friendly our southern neighbour really is...
man, I went on X2 with my family and none of us had a good time. I described it as someone sticking me in a jar and shaking it around- there was one point towards the end where my head kept getting slammed against the back of my seat and I started getting legitimately scared that I was going to get hurt. I can't imagine how bad Green Lantern must have been if it was worse
You know how at the bottom of X's first drop, you're flipped onto your back so you're not completely against the restraints? Imagine if it didn't do that, and all the ride's forces went to all the wrong places...throughout the entire ride. That should give you an idea of how bad GL was.
I just rode X2 for the first time a few days ago. I was feeling a bit anxious while waiting in line having heard about how crazy and possibly painful the ride is. My experience was that it was incredibly smooth and I had no had slamming even at the end part. I WAS sitting in an inside seat which apparently is smoother, but I'm sure one of your family members had an inside seat, so I'm not sure why some people have such a rough ride. I hadn't been to Magic Mountain for 15 years and X2 was the third ride I went on so I was also worried about getting banged around and feeling bad for the rest of the day in the park. The roughest ride I went on all day was my second ride, Viper. It doesn't seem to have held up so well over the years.
@@Speedfreak515 I've been to MM at least a dozen times (albeit not recently) and Viper always stood out as the one (non-wooden) ride my friends hated, as it is so rough. Though tbh I never minded it. I didn't know X2 had a bad rep at all, I always thought it was amazing.
I always go on X2, whenever it isn’t broken that is, but one time I felt like I got punched full force on the back of my head right near the end of the ride.
it’s funny that the ride will be renamed to vipère. there’s another ride at magic mountain that’s historically painful to ride, though it’s more of a brain scrambler than a nut crusher, it’s name: Viper
Viper slams your head around between the overhead restraints but it's still one of my favorites and I go on it every time. One of these days it will concuss me.
Execs will also pick and prod and make changes before the coaster is build too. I'm sure a lot of failed coasters were actually better in their first draft than they were by the time the blueprints got approved.
"Hyatt walkway collapse" was the Immediate, unbidden response from my brain upon reading this. Yes. Even the 'smallest' change to an engineer's design can have ridiculously extreme consequences. 🎓🍍
In my engineering classes we're literally taught to put the fear of hellacious lawsuits and terrible disasters into whomever is messing with our safety features. They make us do scenarios to practice being assertive with it and to not get unsettled when people push back. I think many engineering universities have started focusing more on safety training and our responsibility to put it before everything else without exception.
@@staringcorgi6475 the trains by all acounts were quite comfortable, but unfortunately because B&M had no experience building trains for wooden coasters, they were far too heavy and tore up the track. If Northridge '94 hadn't destroyed the ride's profile (that was a severe earthquake, by the way, not a hurricane...LA has never experienced a direct hit from a tropical storm in the modern era, and SFMM's inland mountainous placement makes storms even less likely to reach it), the trains would have.
Everyone is talking about their pelvis and genitals, but I can’t be the only one who got off this ride with both my ass AND head feeling painful after all the head knocking.
Not gonna lie, I'm definitely part of the minority who LOVED this ride! It was just so dynamic, forceful, and just fun!! I might not be able to have any kids, but it was worth it!
Girl here. I remember the one time I rode this with my aunt and sister. Even without the ball busting, this was painful. The whiplash was terrible. *Absolutely* terrible. Glad it's gone.
I rode this multiple times just cause it had a single waiter line and that means little too no wait time everyone knew this was bad but I didn’t know how bad the reputation was too be worst coaster on peoples list and coaster videos LMAO
I rode this years ago and all I remember was how much pain I was in when I got off. The back of my head got slammed so many times I wanted to get off as soon as the first turn came.
The restraints were also less than comfortable. With many guests complain about pain in the shoulders, and in some cases, hitting below the belt. " This is what I remembered most about the ride. My friends and I all got off the ride and immediately reported to each other how much pain our crotches and thighs were in. Only took one ride to discover this ride was bad.
There was a similar Green Lantern ride at a theme park in Australia and i remember it being really fucking rough too. At one point I felt like I was going to fall out of the harness.
It’s still there! At Movieworld. I’ve never had any troubles with it but it’s different for everyone as all bodies are different. I mean, it was rough and jerky but I just assume all coasters are like that and figured it was that way because of how compact it is lmao but maybe I’m missing something? 😂
That ride malfunctions so often, I've never been on it because I don't trust it. It's broken down mid-ride MANY times, and that's just fucking terrifying. Same with the Scooby-Doo ride. It doesn't break down as often, but it's so fucking rough. Some of the dips are really sudden and can make your head be thrown into the seat, and also the section where it has the violent turns and it feels like you're about to fall off of the ride.
@@ebsii0687 Never been to the gold coast but this made me really want to get on that coaster lol. i want rides to excite me not put me to sleep. Breaking down in the middle sounds fun to me.
@@Defunctland I agree, I see historical TV shows that aren't up to your standards, and a bunch of pretty good ones that I'd still say you definitely keep up with
15:25 this is the only type of 4D coaster we got in Planet Coaster and it is surprisingly difficult to build right. It's a very fine line between fun and vomit for these things
@Kyle Forehard sounds rough... I hated every retail job I ever had bc of things like this... you have to ask people to do something basic for safety or health and they hate you... you can be subservient and likeable as you want and still get yelled at. :(
Yeah this ride almost scarred me into hating rollercoasters. The fact that I was bouncing in the seat for having too much space where I could've slipped out and the workers there didn't want to help. I legit said before the ride started "welp this is my fate."
It seems like this ride is the best non-waterpark way to recreate the awful feeling of being the guy facing backwards when the four-person innertube goes down a drop
I don't really care much for rollercoasters, but the stories behind them are always fascinating, especially failed ones. its so fun to pick apart why a coaster does or doesn't work, getting down to the physics and engineering. This series is great
Fun fact: I was slightly under the height limit when I went on this ride and legitimately almost fell out lol I was holding on for dear life :)))) fun times
I went on the splash mountain ride at disneyworld and I almost fell out of the seat at the drop, my butt literally came off the seat and I had to wrap my hands around the lap bar to hold on.
As a massive green lantern fan, I was extremely excited to ride this coaster. Needless to say my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.
I thought it should have been themed after Two-Face, because you would basically flip a coin and it would be either be a fun experience, or a horrible one.

I blacked out on Goliath coaster during a Magic Mountain "free preview". Soon after I became coaster phobic and never went to amusement parks again. I remember how Goliath took a really long time to officially open although Taco Bell commercials kept saying coming soon to magic mountain. I was surprised how many people would tell me they were going to magic mountain for free to try out a rollercoaster, it was then I knew Six Flags Corp uses people as guinea pigs when there are complaints from humans.

The coolest part of the Batman ride was the actual entryway. It was your standard warehouse batcave setup, but in the middle of the room was a hologram of the batmobile. While queuing up for a ride one time, I reached "into" the hologram and pretended to rotate it; upon doing so the hologram actually rotated with my hand! The unit they were using must have had some sort of motion tracking, although no attention was ever drawn to this feature by the entry setup.
Just a neat little memory from high school this video brought up. It was a pretty fun coaster too, a little short but my friends and I had season passes so we'd always go on slow days and ride it till we got sick when it first opened.

They now need to make a ride after Tremors since you made that commrnt
I have worked as a ride operator on one of these rides in Europe and I can tell you that we picked people to try and balance it, NOT to make it lopsided to "maximise the spin". If you load the cars uneven they might get stuck when they return to the station and if a ride operator doesn't spot it and turn it right side up, it turns into a maintenance nightmare. Worst case you could get two cars stuck, one at the waiting section and one at the top of the lift. So no, we didn't pick people to make it heavier on one side.
That sounds like a nightmare in general. I had a little ride op job as a teen in the late 2000s going into the early 2010s. We had a zip line with seats that had a 250lb weight limit because anymore than than, the seats dropped too low to bring the platform back in once the ride was over. I hated guessing or asking weight and I was only dealing with 1 to 3 people 😩
Can everyone here pay respects for these 2? I'll go first.

@@PasqualleTheRat F
I have sympathy for those who accept jobs at amusement parks.
Ferris Wheels have the exact same problem and the one at my local park is partially slowed *manually*.
In other words, if the weight is undisturbuted evenly, the wheel is MUCH harder to actually stop.
So, when a young woman operating the ride for the first time tried to grab the seat rail to let the customers off... The wheel took her some feet off the ground before it stopped.

ok so one thing that i learned with this video is that there are "four-dimensional" roller coasters, but funnily enough, arent actually 4D for obvious reasons. one day this gave me an idea. i will create a real 4D roller coaster, that will travel in time and take you to the point in the timeline in which you've finished riding the coaster. overall, you will experience nothing and the entrance fee will be $100,000.
"Time travel (small print: at one second per second)"? :P
I mean, given that the "4D" coaster this video is about was entirely vertically, it's more like a 2D coaster with spinning seats...

🤣🤣😂😂
Two points to make.
First, as far as marketing goes, treating rotational displacement as a dimension is relatively honest.
Second, I'd be impressed if anyone made a roller coaster that _didn't_ travel through time (at one second per second, if you aren't measuring with an atomic clock).

I typically don’t comment on videos but this one gave me such intense flashbacks I had to share. It had to have been 2015, so after the throwing star had been filled in to reduce spins. My sister, my mom, and I all decided due to both the lack of line and the fact we had never rode Green Lantern before, we would give it a shot. Suffice to say, we never rotated once on that ride, and my sister blacked out as the ride entered into its final drop. My mom had severe bruising on her chest due to her body hitting the restraints. I, meanwhile, did not get injured but Green Lantern left such a mark on us that we still call it the worst ride we have ever been on
I remember screaming on that ride. Not out of enjoyment, but pain. That momentum down would just force the restraint tighter down on your stomach/pelvis. Worst design ever
Same! My sisters and I ended up with bruising of both are shoulders and tops of our thighs for weeks. Terrible.
Maybe you have a point, but do also consider that they can't really afford to make a mistake in the name of comfort and let people fly off
We have that at Great Adventure, too. I didn't go on it often (I've had seizures so I can't go on roller coasters anymore), but I remember that it replaced the universally-hated Great American Scream Machine. I hate those kinds of restraints.
Thsts why i allwes held the bar up on rides as a kid
i wasnt the only one thank god haha xD shit hurt so much honestly. was in genuine pain
"some called the ride 'neutered,' fitting considering that others reported that this is what the ride did to them" oh my god
Honestly I believe Green Lantern coasters are just cursed. Here in Nj, I would say the worst rollercoaster is the Green Lantern one, which is just you getting you head smashed against the restraint for a minute.

Seriously, hearing COVID-19 in a Defunctland video...
man, I went on X2 with my family and none of us had a good time. I described it as someone sticking me in a jar and shaking it around- there was one point towards the end where my head kept getting slammed against the back of my seat and I started getting legitimately scared that I was going to get hurt. I can't imagine how bad Green Lantern must have been if it was worse
You know how at the bottom of X's first drop, you're flipped onto your back so you're not completely against the restraints? Imagine if it didn't do that, and all the ride's forces went to all the wrong places...throughout the entire ride. That should give you an idea of how bad GL was.
I just rode X2 for the first time a few days ago. I was feeling a bit anxious while waiting in line having heard about how crazy and possibly painful the ride is. My experience was that it was incredibly smooth and I had no had slamming even at the end part. I WAS sitting in an inside seat which apparently is smoother, but I'm sure one of your family members had an inside seat, so I'm not sure why some people have such a rough ride.
I hadn't been to Magic Mountain for 15 years and X2 was the third ride I went on so I was also worried about getting banged around and feeling bad for the rest of the day in the park. The roughest ride I went on all day was my second ride, Viper. It doesn't seem to have held up so well over the years.
@@Speedfreak515 I've been to MM at least a dozen times (albeit not recently) and Viper always stood out as the one (non-wooden) ride my friends hated, as it is so rough. Though tbh I never minded it. I didn't know X2 had a bad rep at all, I always thought it was amazing.
I always go on X2, whenever it isn’t broken that is, but one time I felt like I got punched full force on the back of my head right near the end of the ride.
@@A_A610 100% the prefect description of this ride.
it’s funny that the ride will be renamed to vipère. there’s another ride at magic mountain that’s historically painful to ride, though it’s more of a brain scrambler than a nut crusher, it’s name: Viper
Viper gave me a migraine and sent my mom into literal tears of pain. It's so bad
I got shoulder and lower back pain from Viper. Also I'm 5'8 and I still had to hunch down just to fit under the restraints.
i've never ridden viper or x2. i'm terrified of both of them.
The ride isn't too bad but the loops do bother my head for a lil bit.
Viper slams your head around between the overhead restraints but it's still one of my favorites and I go on it every time. One of these days it will concuss me.

Every time a company modifies an engineers design it ends up bad. There is a reason they calculate stuff before its built.
Execs will also pick and prod and make changes before the coaster is build too. I'm sure a lot of failed coasters were actually better in their first draft than they were by the time the blueprints got approved.
@@Yodah97 psyclone was a terrible roller coaster because it’s trains sucked and the failure to repair after a hurricane
"Hyatt walkway collapse" was the Immediate, unbidden response from my brain upon reading this. Yes. Even the 'smallest' change to an engineer's design can have ridiculously extreme consequences. 🎓🍍
In my engineering classes we're literally taught to put the fear of hellacious lawsuits and terrible disasters into whomever is messing with our safety features. They make us do scenarios to practice being assertive with it and to not get unsettled when people push back. I think many engineering universities have started focusing more on safety training and our responsibility to put it before everything else without exception.
@@staringcorgi6475 the trains by all acounts were quite comfortable, but unfortunately because B&M had no experience building trains for wooden coasters, they were far too heavy and tore up the track.
If Northridge '94 hadn't destroyed the ride's profile (that was a severe earthquake, by the way, not a hurricane...LA has never experienced a direct hit from a tropical storm in the modern era, and SFMM's inland mountainous placement makes storms even less likely to reach it), the trains would have.

There was a similar Green Lantern ride at a theme park in Australia and i remember it being really fucking rough too. At one point I felt like I was going to fall out of the harness.
It’s still there! At Movieworld. I’ve never had any troubles with it but it’s different for everyone as all bodies are different. I mean, it was rough and jerky but I just assume all coasters are like that and figured it was that way because of how compact it is lmao but maybe I’m missing something? 😂
Yeah, it's a pretty dodgy ride, i've never been to Movieworld without the Green Lantern breaking down at least once throughout the day.
That ride malfunctions so often, I've never been on it because I don't trust it. It's broken down mid-ride MANY times, and that's just fucking terrifying. Same with the Scooby-Doo ride. It doesn't break down as often, but it's so fucking rough.

oh my god now I can only think about going on this and everyone just fucking screams “AAAAAA MY BALLS” all at the same time when it spins
Jonathan, we have an opening for you in a new upcoming show on television, inspired by the immensely popular, "Idiocracy." movie. Are you game ?
@@a2pha excuse me what the fuck
@@heyimscorp I'm not mad, I'm angry. Sometimes. Usually when I don't get my coffee.
Coaster Fans: Don't you want to mix-and-match riders, so the weight is a bit more distributed?
Six Flags: *lol nuts go smoosh smoosh*
@Kyle Forehard And this is a country where management and stockholders love to bow to those whiners.
I’m in tears from laughing so hard at the ‘nuts go smoosh smoosh’ line …hopefully there’s no typos in writing this!
A ball buster?
@Kyle Forehard sounds rough... I hated every retail job I ever had bc of things like this... you have to ask people to do something basic for safety or health and they hate you... you can be subservient and likeable as you want and still get yelled at. :(
@Kyle Forehard That would be weird but if you told me it was to prevent my balls from being crushed I'd roll with it.
"It was a pelvic nightmare. This *tainted* the ride..." Intentional or not, I really liked it.
Lol immediately after hearing that I sought through the comments seeing if anyone else noticed.
Yeah this ride almost scarred me into hating rollercoasters. The fact that I was bouncing in the seat for having too much space where I could've slipped out and the workers there didn't want to help. I legit said before the ride started "welp this is my fate."
Good thing you didn't fall out!
Defunctland Presents: Kevin Perjurer fitting as many ball jokes as he can into a minute.
nutntubear , don’t forget the taint, which taint a vagina nor a testicle.
Which is the length of the ride.
9:29 "There's too much confetti! I can't see!" I don't know why, but that man's comment always gives me a chuckle.
Top quality stuff Defunctland!
" The ride was to be sold and sent to LaRonde, in Quebec, Canada"
Oh god damn it, that's where I live. RIP my balls.
Perhaps they will modify it to the better.
You poor, poor man. Good luck and I'd say have fun, but uh its green lantern sooooo....
Better start taking steroids, the shrinkage should help.
Like, why. La Ronde already has plenty shitty coasters, we’re good thank you.
Rip this guys balls
It seems like this ride is the best non-waterpark way to recreate the awful feeling of being the guy facing backwards when the four-person innertube goes down a drop
LMAO YEAH THATS ME EVERY TIME
I don't really care much for rollercoasters, but the stories behind them are always fascinating, especially failed ones. its so fun to pick apart why a coaster does or doesn't work, getting down to the physics and engineering. This series is great
I mean, I love these kinds of stories & how they're designed, but I like being on them as well.
Fun fact: I was slightly under the height limit when I went on this ride and legitimately almost fell out lol I was holding on for dear life :)))) fun times
I haven't been under the height limit of an attraction since I was 7. . .I was a tall kid XD
I went on the splash mountain ride at disneyworld and I almost fell out of the seat at the drop, my butt literally came off the seat and I had to wrap my hands around the lap bar to hold on.
Sheela Yuan thanks for describing what essentially is my whole life...
shadow knight OMG IKR??? I’m always way over the height limit and splash mountains drop always has me scared for my life!!!!
See this is why you don't test the rules of riding roller-coasters
As a massive green lantern fan, I was extremely excited to ride this coaster. Needless to say my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.
wasn't it already ruined by just being a green lantern fan? lol
@@stephenfortin9485 nah
Are you quoting that guy that reviews food on TH-cam? I can't remember his name but he talks just like that.

I thought it should have been themed after Two-Face, because you would basically flip a coin and it would be either be a fun experience, or a horrible one.
