Kings Dominion: Well just get everyone down and close the ride no biggie Six Flags America: Oh god shut down that whole area of the park even if other rides have nothing to do with it
Mike Starkey oh, if I did. Trust by the time I got back to the ground my stomach would be less congested and bladder completely empty. Just saying. Hope nobody was standing below.
"I would love to be stuck up there." Stuck 300ft off the ground? Lol. That could get really old really quickly. Like what would you do for a couple hours just stuck up there? And especially if you were riding alone and had nobody to talk to (story of my life)? Once when I was at my home park of Silver Dollar City I was on Outlaw Run and when we returned to the station my lapbar would not release. Everybody else's lapbars released, just not mine. And for most of that time they thought I was a young lady. Seriously, they made an announcement that said "until we get this young lady released, Outlaw Run will be closed." I was stuck there for an hour, they had to go UNDER the train and TAKE OFF the restraint. It was quite an experience. And almost happened again at Frontier City in Oklahoma. On the Diamondback Arrow shuttle coaster, when we got back to the station, the over the shoulder restraints wouldn't release. Fortunately that happens a lot so a mechanic came quickly and we were out in ten minutes.
AngeloR674 Did you see the quotation marks? That means that I was quoting him from the video. I wouldn't love to be stuck up there. That would be boring as Hell.
It was because of a power outage and riders got stuck yesterday... Today they shut down rides to install devices that will give the rides a backup supply of power
Just A Couple Weeks Ago,I Was on FF And Got Stuck At The Top.We Went To Face Down,And Then it Went Back upwards.After About 5 Mins,We Unexpectedly Dropped.Ever Since Then I have Had A Fear Of Going Back on.(Please Note i Used to LOVE IT) After Watching ur Vid,Im Never Going on Again!
That must be really scary! And not only the fact that you're stuck on a gaint height, but also the fact that you don't know what to expect! They probably got really surprised when it actually dropped :D
Imagine having a fear of heights and your friend convinced you to ride this with them for the first time, only to be stuck up there for what seems like a century. Wouldn't be a good first impression,
Just imagine that sitting at the top of it for a long time with the anxiety of anytime it could drop. If I was on that I would probably do more then curse a lot.
I was stuck on the drop tower at California's Great America for about 15 minutes. We were just cruising up, our seats kinda bounced a bit and we just stopped. After 15 minutes we were lowered down and were given a free single-use fast lane :)
Imagine like staying up there for 2 hours after they say the ride is closed and then just looking around about to pee yourself and out of nowhere it just drops without warning and you aren’t sure if a cable snapped or it’s functioning properly
I personally feel like even though it is a "drop tower" they shouldn't have dropped them down after that long amount of time. (Unless there was a warning that was not heard). After that amount of time they wouldn't have been expecting a drop so quickly. If you're just riding you know it drops in about 3-ish seconds, but if you're up there for a few minutes and then dropped some people could have came off the ride complaining (because everybody is offended of something in this generation). I feel like they should have lowered them down by the cables to protect them from possible court cases.
I hate heights I think I would be dead from having a heart attack before I got to the ground😂and I bet someone on that was pressured to get on the ride even though there scared of heights
That's when the power went out! Omg I was at the cabins when that happened we then went by and saw the people up there and we did not now it was crazy i leaving tomorrow :( the intimidator was so fun I wish I saw you
Honestly, not too bad of a situation as long as you aren’t stuck on there for way too long. Probably got a free pass, and a great aerial view of the park
I went to Kings Island last year, and Drop Tower got stuck, someone jumped the fence at Adventure Express and there was a malfunctioning lap bar in one train, and some guy freaking out in the train behind that while I was stuck on the third train for like five minutes on The Beast. May i mention how rough The Beast was last year. KI has fixed it though.
Most of these tower style rides have a few different ways of releasing people. The main way (which also takes the longest) is via manual cranking device. All of the windseekers also have them.
+Joshua Amos sweet. I went to Carowinds yesterday and it was just as awesome if not better than last year. I got back row on Afterburn, and back row night ride on intimidator. Unfortunately only got to ride fury once (best ride in the park) and didn't get to ride nighthawk. What's your favorite ride?
How are they getting down? Step one get out of seat. Step two carefully climb polls to tower.step three clime down a 305 ft ladder without getting tired and falling to your death.
This has become a sort of regular for the drop tower. I had season passes last year and it got stuck a handful of times in 2016. One day it got stuck twice within an hour. It was a problem with the latch release getting stuck.
At Cedar Point people were stuck on the lift of millennium Force for 4 hours. They couldn’t get the car down so they had to evacuate the people one by one. It was only a few rides after I had gone on it.
Once when I went to Kentucky Kingdom a train on T3 got stuck going up the lift hill and I felt so bad for them because there legs probably felt terrible!
we were stuck up there on a 106° day for 45 minutes! we also got stuck on the anaconda on the hill the same day. they crew was running up and down the hill with bottles of water.. finally after about 30 min. they unlocked the cars and we had to walk down the stairs beside the coaster!! now you want to talk about scary! this was on top of the anaconda Rollercoaster fricken first climb!! they warned us not to look down. holy cow!!!!! this was in the early 2000s we still rode both of them years later.. over and over.. lol!! that day it was so hot outside!!!!
+Jay Ritch (Jjonathanhart) but if there were workers up there, the tower is hollow, theres a door into the tower at the bottom snd there are ladders on the inside to the top.
When I visited magic mountain the second time in my life with my friend Nathan, on the day that we left, went to the water park and then to the actual park just to ride twisted colossus. But on our way to twisted colossus, we saw Lex Luthor stuck all the way up and we were like, “Oooh, that sucks man”!
Can you imagine a really mean prank by a ride operator. Just leavin em up there for like 5 min, and the suddenly release them. The riders would be terrified
you KNOW that someone with a fear of heights was pressured into getting on the ride.
Yeah this made me want to “be brave”
We all know😤😂
good for them now they have overcome it. gotta push them or they will never know if it's a true fear or just in their head
*cough* me
Waviii no it’s a fear dumbass
I guess u could say they had high expectations
😂😂
Boo......
ha ha
And those expectations didn't.....
drop
boooooooooooooooooooooo get off the stage!!
That'd be terrifying. Just waiting there for like 6 minutes, not knowing what's going on, then Bam!
It probably felt like 6 hours 😨
I bet the screamed like hell during the drop, they didn't know when it was gonna happen lol
I'm 99% sure they did. They have speakers up there.
Maybe I'm just thinking about how poor six flags America is. I got stuck their drop tower and got let down slowly with no warning.
Majority of rides will let the riders know before it starts moving.
Katie Bradley
Not Six Flags America lol. Got stuck on the drop tower and slowly started to come down without warning.
+Chevalier 'Slowly'
Kings Dominion: Well just get everyone down and close the ride no biggie
Six Flags America: Oh god shut down that whole area of the park even if other rides have nothing to do with it
Lmao
No true
Ikr I got stuck on giant drop and they closed all the rides nearby it
It’s because they don’t want people to see what happened because it can be very bad for the park
M. Tyrie its like 300 feet tall you dont have to be in that area to see it. You can see it from everywhere in the park
Drop tower? More like stop tower.
I don't get it...
Id rather go on a drop tower than a stop tower :)
get off this planet and take your bad puns with you
Us who go to busch gardens call mach tower, mach useless.
no not really me and my cousin went up there it was so much fun
i would need new underwear. Not knowing when the drop comes must be horrible
hope none of them has to take a piss or crap
Image if u need to drink or eat
+The legendary dark knight Sparda o snap I would of die
Mike Starkey oh, if I did. Trust by the time I got back to the ground my stomach would be less congested and bladder completely empty. Just saying. Hope nobody was standing below.
Now: imagine being stuck like this on Falcon's Fury, facing the ground 325 feet below you
Wolfsong no I’ve been stuck on it it flips you back to normal
T GAY oh ok
Or kindaka
You mean Fury 325?
KM Productions your not a coaster enthusiast lol, falcons fury and fury 325 are different rides
6 minutes?
I could sing the whole rap god song than it'll go down
Oh yeah rap god
But 6 minutes for eminem
With us it might take 7 minutes
Damn, usually the 10 second wait on drop towers scare me with all the suspense. But this would've given me a panic attack.
"I would love to be stuck up there." Stuck 300ft off the ground? Lol. That could get really old really quickly. Like what would you do for a couple hours just stuck up there? And especially if you were riding alone and had nobody to talk to (story of my life)?

If that was me I would say could I just keep riding
Right.. Stop bullshitibg.. I'm shure if u were stuck up there... Fear would run right through u... Becuase u don't know what's going to happen!
AngeloR674 Did you see the quotation marks? That means that I was quoting him from the video. I wouldn't love to be stuck up there. That would be boring as Hell.
It's not broken, it's a feature!
It's a feature!
It doesn't stay stopped for more than 40 seconds.
"Its a... its a feature...ITS A FEATURE!" -Joel
If I was there, this next line I go is to an ambulance to the nearest hospital
If Microsoft owned Kings Dominion
While us in Carowinds are seeing Windseeker stuck. Perfect timing.
rides was closed today too
It was because of a power outage and riders got stuck yesterday... Today they shut down rides to install devices that will give the rides a backup supply of power
windseeker always gets stuck lol. Nighthawk got stuck on the incline when i went to Carowinds last week
+Thrillseeker Productions I know, I only got to ride most rides once because of the tests they were doing :(
+Jay Forst Huler got stuck for 5 mins while I was on it
I feel so sorry for them! I have a very big fear of heights so I would be dieing if I was up their! THATS SO HIGH!!!!!! :O
Try the windseeker
ikr
I would be grateful for the extra time and pretty enjoy the view:-).
I am afraid of hieghts as well
Anna Jane I never went and never will
I've seen people on Falcon's Fury stuck at the top faced downward.
If probably die
Just A Couple Weeks Ago,I Was on FF And Got Stuck At The Top.We Went To Face Down,And Then it Went Back upwards.After About 5 Mins,We Unexpectedly Dropped.Ever Since Then I have Had A Fear Of Going Back on.(Please Note i Used to LOVE IT) After Watching ur Vid,Im Never Going on Again!
I got stuck once. Scared the hell out of me because I was wondering like we're we supposed to be up here this long?!?!
on top of that the restraints are uncomfortable af
Scary!
So glad the drop tower finally dropped!
+Oscar Harrison IK
@OangeWaffle43 pdddft im rolling 🤣🤣🤣💀
This video gave me anxiety! Lol
YO I WAS ON THE OTHERSIDE OF WHERE U WERE FILMING
I had the highlighter type green SHOES HOLY FDICK
+Avarice did you scream your face off on the drop?
+Avarice I think i seen you in the video or at least your shoes
I WAS SCARED I ALMOST POOPED
That must be really scary! And not only the fact that you're stuck on a gaint height, but also the fact that you don't know what to expect! They probably got really surprised when it actually dropped :D

That's some scary shit lol, being stuck on a drop ride n then it does what it's suppose to n drop lol
I was stuck on the drop tower at California's Great America for about 15 minutes. We were just cruising up, our seats kinda bounced a bit and we just stopped. After 15 minutes we were lowered down and were given a free single-use fast lane :)
@CoasterStudios Were you on the ground when you filmed this? How were you able to get those angles?
Read the description- I was at the top of the Eiffel Tower when it got stuck.
He must have been on the Eiffel Tower replica
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower_(Cedar_Fair)#Kings_Dominion
+Coaster Studios did you get stuck on the Eiffle tower? ;)
+Bobby T. You can't get stuck on that
+Roberto Hernandez u can actually if elevators break
As a person afraid of heights this is pretty traumatizing
Being up there that long not knowing when the drop is coming would suck. I find the not knowing when it’s coming scarier than the drop.
Where were you guys recording this from?
The top of the Eiffel Tower
+Coaster Studios omg I love that tower but I was freaking out when I got to the top
+_unicorn girl_ Let me take a guess and say you didn't ride anything?
The top of the Eiffel tower
they should tare it down to make a New ride over there
i would love to b stuck up on that too! what a beautiful and thrilling view!
Lexi Laios same
Just looking at the view, Kings Dominion looks so fun!
I just went on yesterday and Im glad I saw the video today.
First on the scene, Coaster Studios!
Building up even more suspense...
I saw this happen with Zumanjaro at SFGADV before while I was waiting to get on Kingda Ka so I had to wait an extra 5 minutes
Imagine like staying up there for 2 hours after they say the ride is closed and then just looking around about to pee yourself and out of nowhere it just drops without warning and you aren’t sure if a cable snapped or it’s functioning properly
The power went out at carowinds on Thursday and people once again got stuck on windseeker
Few days ago, power went out at cedar point.
No fault of it's own for once!
And I was there. The power went out for only a couple seconds then the backup generators kicked in.
+Milo Simpson illuminati confirmed
+Milo Simpson there was a huge storm that knocked out power and snapped some power line poles in half on the causeway go look up photos
Ohhhhh my gosh I whould be so scared 😨 for 6 minutes noo way
Screw that. I'd have a heart attack. That's the one ride that I have to have a few margaritas at the shrimp shack beforehand.
I personally feel like even though it is a "drop tower" they shouldn't have dropped them down after that long amount of time. (Unless there was a warning that was not heard). After that amount of time they wouldn't have been expecting a drop so quickly. If you're just riding you know it drops in about 3-ish seconds, but if you're up there for a few minutes and then dropped some people could have came off the ride complaining (because everybody is offended of something in this generation). I feel like they should have lowered them down by the cables to protect them from possible court cases.
It is more like 5-10 seconds
I don't know I don't ride drop towers that often but same consept
Actually there is a speaker at the top where a voice tells them when they will drop and the ride operator can talk to them.
how else would it get down?
BAT BOY they could have let them down slowly
That drop tower is so cool! I’ve been on it 3 times and every time I piss my pants
I got stuck at the top of the Hershey Park drop tower for 10 minutes
i got stuck on a drop ride for 1 hour i pissed my pance up there
it was called the acrobia
That sucks, witch tower?
last time i was this early, i just got home from Paramount's Kings Dominion!
I hate heights I think I would be dead from having a heart attack before I got to the ground😂and I bet someone on that was pressured to get on the ride even though there scared of heights
DROP TOWER IS NOW CALLED THE STUCK TOWER.
The guy was flerting with a girl in the line and forgot to let the peapole at the top fall
I rode this the first year it came out.... Very scary experience. Great for extreme thrill seekers. I also use to work at Kings Dominion great place!
The scariest part is that at any given moment, the ride will be fixed and they will all just drop as the ride continues
You know my dad was on that I was like crap is he gonna survive?
But he was not stuck
Imagine if they fell alseep and then it drops lol
😂😂
Damn the falling dream was real lmao
Finally something that's not clickbait
Ha I would die of tension!!! Waiting for the drop!
I was on that I got a great view of intimidator
305
+GamingPro941 yeah
wow that's awesome
omg i got butterflies watching this..
omg. I was there yesterday. I wish I knew you were there too!
5...4...3...2...1...drop? -1...-2...-3...-4...5.......-369
Omg I was on that 😂😂 I got so much anxiety
I'm jealous, I would've loved to be on that!
That's when the power went out! Omg I was at the cabins when that happened we then went by and saw the people up there and we did not now it was crazy i leaving tomorrow :( the intimidator was so fun I wish I saw you
Imagine if you were up there and fell asleep waiting and it drops while you’re out
Man, how scary would it be to drop without warning after technical difficulties and not knowing of it was supposed to be dropping or not.
Honestly, not too bad of a situation as long as you aren’t stuck on there for way too long. Probably got a free pass, and a great aerial view of the park
Omg i could not be on that tower. I would just keep thinking "OH MY GOD AM I GONNA DIE??!!! IS THIS IT??"
There feet would be sweating so much, there shoes are probaly close to falling off, just adding to there anxiety
I love this guy's voice. lol.
did this happen yesterday or another day
Yesterday.
imagine you have been siting up there 45 min and suddenly you just fall.
i'd probably pee my pants xD
I was there Friday! I heard people talking about it on another ride...
It was shut down for the rest of the day...
Everyone must of had a heart attack for dropping from that height while being stuck for like 10 minutes
I went to Kings Island last year, and Drop Tower got stuck, someone jumped the fence at Adventure Express and there was a malfunctioning lap bar in one train, and some guy freaking out in the train behind that while I was stuck on the third train for like five minutes on The Beast. May i mention how rough The Beast was last year. KI has fixed it though.
OMG I would be freaking out !!!!
Does this happen a lot then ?
Most of these tower style rides have a few different ways of releasing people. The main way (which also takes the longest) is via manual cranking device. All of the windseekers also have them.
Can you do a comparison of intimidator and diamondback, and Afterburn and banshee?
I could at some point, yes.
+Joshua Amos sweet. I went to Carowinds yesterday and it was just as awesome if not better than last year. I got back row on Afterburn, and back row night ride on intimidator. Unfortunately only got to ride fury once (best ride in the park) and didn't get to ride nighthawk. What's your favorite ride?
imagine this on Falcons fury @ Busch Gardens
Didnt the same thing happen to carowinds on the same day?
So this is super funny. I was on the ride. I'm the guy in the glasses with my son on the left
Really?
Was it very scary
How are they getting down? Step one get out of seat. Step two carefully climb polls to tower.step three clime down a 305 ft ladder without getting tired and falling to your death.
Why am i watching rides broken when im about to go to the fair tommorw
I've been there before lol. My dad, me and my 7 year old neice got stuck on the top. We got stuck on one of these rides at Carowinds.
did the catch car come down?
If I was stuck up there I would crap myself
I love those drop rides but this is one of my biggest fears
Are there actually people up on top where the lights are?
Imagine being afraid of heights
This has become a sort of regular for the drop tower. I had season passes last year and it got stuck a handful of times in 2016. One day it got stuck twice within an hour. It was a problem with the latch release getting stuck.
At Cedar Point people were stuck on the lift of millennium Force for 4 hours. They couldn’t get the car down so they had to evacuate the people one by one. It was only a few rides after I had gone on it.
I was recently stuck on something similar at six flags and I was stuck up there for 10 minutes!
did u ride that? when they whare done?
Doswell virginia ? Same thing happened when I went a few weeks ago
0:26 did his shoes fall out??😂
That ride is fun at Kings Island
if you're not stuck on a ride where are you filming this?

Once when I went to Kentucky Kingdom a train on T3 got stuck going up the lift hill and I felt so bad for them because there legs probably felt terrible!
we were stuck up there on a 106° day for 45 minutes! we also got stuck on the anaconda on the hill the same day. they crew was running up and down the hill with bottles of water.. finally after about 30 min. they unlocked the cars and we had to walk down the stairs beside the coaster!! now you want to talk about scary! this was on top of the anaconda Rollercoaster fricken first climb!! they warned us not to look down. holy cow!!!!! this was in the early 2000s we still rode both of them years later.. over and over.. lol!! that day it was so hot outside!!!!
i already ride that one exactly
My last ride was here in 2005 Never going back to any amusement parks ever yall rollercoaster designers are crazy 💯
How did the 3 workers on top get up there? Not the ones seated in the drop tower, I'm talking about the ones standing on the very top.
Those are not workers those are antennas
Sorry. At first it looked liked like two people. Someone to the left wearing a red shirt and the one to the left a dark blue shirt.
+Jay Ritch (Jjonathanhart) but if there were workers up there, the tower is hollow, theres a door into the tower at the bottom snd there are ladders on the inside to the top.
Good point. That would be the only way the workers could get up there.
I've been stuck on drop tower twice ahaha
When I visited magic mountain the second time in my life with my friend Nathan, on the day that we left, went to the water park and then to the actual park just to ride twisted colossus. But on our way to twisted colossus, we saw Lex Luthor stuck all the way up and we were like, “Oooh, that sucks man”!
OMG! How did the drop tower get stuck?
it's happened before i think. idk.
I’ve always seen this video in GP videos, but I never knew it was from Coaster Studios.
Can you imagine a really mean prank by a ride operator. Just leavin em up there for like 5 min, and the suddenly release them. The riders would be terrified
And the operator would be fired
I have two questions: 1, do you go to amusement parks everyday? 2, do you travel to other states to only go to amusement parks?
He does not go to amusement parks daily, and he has been to other states for other reasons.
+Name okay thanks:)
