I had no idea they were going to show the entire ride. And yes she deserves a raise.
So
Calm down, she was on a roller coaster for a 3 min. She didn't storm the beaches of Normandy.
A raise because of a roller coaster…..ok
I agree with you on that because when I was 7, once my Mom took me on a roller coaster at an amusement park when we got to the top, something went wrong & our coaster got stuck! I had to calm my Mom down until help came to get us back down on the ground again. I have never been on another coaster since that moment in my life.
The woman rides a roller coaster and you think she deserves a damn raise? What kind of fools are you this woman's getting paid six figures right now look how pretty she is and you think she needs a raise how pretty are you and how much money do you have in your account? Maybe you need the raise and not the fake news people who lie to us and tell us this is her first ride when the lady behind her says it's her second ride you can't trust people when they lie to you about nothing.
She did very well keeping composure for someone who is not a coaster fan.
They all say that
@@PRINCE4ACE She could have just been hiding her fear to seem more professional. Personally, I love coasters and my siblings don't. They were both screaming and crying after going on the hulk. (at universal)
@@PRINCE4ACE oh okay
@@leah7350 She's not a robot
@@unikeko96 I know?
Give this gal a raise! She says “my eyelashes are coming off” I was smiling and laughing the whole time wishing I was on that ride with her, I love rollercoasters! 🎢 What a good sport! 🤩
I lost it when she said her eyelashes were coming off!! 🤣
She did so very well. The way she kept her composure is beyond me. What a champ!
This had me smiling the whole time watching it. It was just perfect and she was amazing. And her co-workers cheering her on added to it. Just loved it.
Yea she seems like shes a happy person and lots of fun. Cool clip.
She’s adorable “ I don’t have a pretty scream” give her a raise 👏🏽🙌🏽
She got that Right 😬
@@salvyballacc no one has a “pretty” scream kid it’s a scream for crying out loud we are humans
@@maya-uz4wc that's debatable
@@salvyballacc I’m sure you think you have a pretty scream.
@@salvyballacc no it's not debatable. Screams weren't made to be (and aren't supposed to be) pretty.
I love how everyone in the back is just raising their arms the whole ride. I could not.
Why not? They key to getting over a fear of roller coasters is to simply trust the system, coasters are among the safest machines on the planet, they are designed with safety in mind. You are WAY more likely to die on a plane crash than a roller coaster, the odds of dying on a roller coaster are one in 750 million. Hell you are more likely to win the lottery than die on a roller coaster.
@@1ROCKET-the safest machines? And that's not the way to get over your fear. And she doesn't have to get over her fear if she doesn't want to.
@@PomskyPlays-zi2gj yes roller coasters are quite literally designed to be safe…
@@1ROCKET- not all- 💀
@@PomskyPlays-zi2gjyes they are
"I wish I had a few flights of courage" is low-key a really good line
I hope she gets credit for “I wish I had a few flights of courage “. Great line
Definitely! I loved that bit so much!
Right lmao
my faves were "I don't have a pretty scream" and "my eyelashes are falling off"
@@c.swinford8283 wow, such humility lol
But that wasn’t her line, it was the ride enthusiasts’
Props to this woman. I could never let a camera record me while riding a coaster.
I could never ride a roller coaster lol, Never!
I make the ugliest faces when I’m on roller coasters😂
@@brianmaysguitar7252 that's what she said
Same 🤣😭 I think I have my mothers scream when I ride them. 😂
I can ride the roller coaster as like I am sitting and chilling on a sofa at home.
she managed to stay graceful and composed while on the rollercoaster! she needs a raise she’s so adorable
“You looked quite beautiful” 🤣 so sweet & so true!
I love how she's admittedly afraid but still self-aware 😆 "Why don't I have pretty scream"
That was funny
I* not why
she was screaming like a dude lol
Not only is this well detailed and shows the whole track layout, but they show the WHOLE THING RUNNING. Respect.
Well she looked like she was having a lot of fun. Made me smile!!
I was just there over the weekend. Nothing is going to beat X2 for a long time, but this was easily the second best ride in the park. Haven't had a coaster lift me off my butt like this one in many years!
What blew me away was the perfect sky creating perfect light in the entire setting. The silence of the coaster on the rails was sick man. Chick in front was class.
It seems like a really smooth ride for being a roller coaster! Most jerk u and ur head around so much I feel like I have a frickin concussion after the ride! 😝
"chick" blehhhh, she's a grown woman!! at the least, a reporter!! otherwise agred.
@@missoliviathompson Right? She may have had "class" but the person calling her "chick" has none.
@@lexvt3551 🙄🤦♂️
@@missoliviathompson ⁰0
Awww she’s a trooper. And the way her coworkers cheered her on was so awesome to see. 💛🥰
Meh
Just rode this today, super fun ride! The scariest part, though, is the lift hill. It's considerable steeper than normal at 45 degrees and makes it feel quite intimidating. But the ride was fast and smooth!
“I don’t have a pretty scream!!” She’s absolutely adorable!! Lol
Looks like a fun roller coaster. Glad to see magic mountain is still building new rides. It was my favorite theme park growing up.
They literally have the most roller coasters out of any theme park if anything they need less rides and more focus on park development lol
Six Flags is more of an amusement park than a theme park.
@@Paolo8772 Thrill Park*. I hope it stays this way. Its really the only park purely dedicated to extreme thrills outside of Cedar Point.
@@AMCustomCoasters The Thrill Capital Of The World to be exact
It's pretty much guaranteed Magic Mountain gets new rides. It's one of the biggest parks in the world.
For those of you that are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy. At the end of a block zone is a method to stop the train in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents roller coaster trains from colliding with one another.
*block zone noise*
Eltoro Ryan Reference? JK, Thats actuall facts
This made me lol quite hard.
Unless it's The Smiler...
ZONE BLOCK!!
She’s so cute oh my gosh this had me crying laughing!! Best reporter!
Love love love this! I smiled the entire time at her reaction! Plus the ride looks awesome!
Love how she does the sign of the cross. Priceless!
Me too lol
Gross. Human sacrifice cult.
lol right I was like oh no she thinks this might be the end haha. The guy next to me on the plane kept crossing himself a few weeks ago. I don't like to fly and I was about to say "sir, you're not getting your affairs in order or whatever are you?" it was not comforting at all haha
@@c.swinford8283 , I was on a plane ride with terrible turbulence and the lady next to me was a nun. I looked at her hoping for comfort but she was praying. It wasn’t comforting at all.
@@nessparadis6948 it isn't haha. like it should be but instead you're just like uh oh.
“I don’t have a pretty scream! AHHHHHHH!😰😭” Lol love it!
The dude in the back with his hands up 🤣 ... I can't ever do that on ANY roller coaster !!! It feels more like you are going to fly off. I always hold on tight. 🤣
I am so teary-eyed. She did great. I love riding roller-coasters but I would have been screaming.
"I wish I had a few 'flights' of courage"
That was bars right there 👌
Was she saying she wanted alcohol
My eye lashes are falling off 😹😹😹 You rocked it girl! So proud of you and so amazed you were calm as you were 💜💜💜
What a brave woman keeping proffessional under pressure! Way to go!
Loved her little prayer there. 😂
I knew it was serious when she started the cross prayer 🤣
Really? That's when I knew she was stupid. 1: She's safe; 2: her imaginary sky dictator is no more real than any of the other deities mankind created and 3: she did it on camera with no shame. She should keep that personal belief to herself and be lucky she has the freedom to be an idiot on T.V. and get paid for it.
Lol
@@juliaweber212 "Lol"? How funny is it?
@@Paolo8772 lol
@@Paolo8772 lol
Bless her heart!! I was cheering for her the whole time and then laughed when she's like "my eyelashes are falling off!" She did phenomenally!!
I WISH I HAD A FEW FLIGHTS OF COURAGE. Amazing!
Her trying not to scream has me lmao!😂😂😂😂
"ahhh!!!! I don't have a pretty screammm!!"
That's the cutest thing I've ever heard lol
Props the the reporter for getting the facts right. It’s a great coaster but not the tallest or fastest period. Still incredible nonetheless. Great reporting!
It's the tallest and fastest single track coaster.
@@Zeaiclies by like an inch??????
@@lemonattax
Still counts in height.
Still fastest single track coaster in America (for now) lol
@@Zeaiclies I know. That’s why I applaud them for getting it right. Several news segments in the past(from various networks) have described previous rides of the same model as “tallest and fastest coaster” which is rather misleading.
@@lay10vids
I feel ya and no worries
I rode it in January in the same seat she was in, and it really is an amazing coaster. smooth and amazingly-paced with a great variety of elements. You really do feel exposed in a row alone so its very thrilling!
That layout is long, it just keeps going!
She is adorable, had me grinning to watch. Can't wait to ride one of these 🎢
I LOVE YOU FOR DOING THIS SAMANTHA!!!! I started having a thing about heights as I have gotten older so I am hard pressed to ride roller coasters now. But you give me courage again!
Join the club, me too.
I thought I was the only one 😭 I’ve loved rollercoasters all my life… up until I hit my 30’s 🫤
@@jessicam522 Nope, I watch these roller coaster videos on TH-cam and my vertigo and anxiety kicks in while I'm on the couch! Terrible.
coasters are mostly for the young, over 27 our brain becomes way more afraid of danger. Why they send 18 year olds into battle.
When I was 18 I loved coasters, 20 years later I feel like getting on one would kill me! I totally get where you're coming from. I can't do heights either, when I'm driving up mountain roads or even those high up interchanges here in soCal I just try not to look to the side. Can't stand it.
Very cute. She has talent. Very composed before the ride. Had to ride with a camera in her face while be shown to thousands of people l. Be adorable during the ride and back to composed to finish the report. A+ grade. Give her a raise!
Oh she is adorable ☺️ I genuinely enjoyed this!
What a great team! Really supporting their coworker without mocking her. Very professional!
She’s so funny and such a trooper 😂 Glad she had fun
Trooper? It’s just a rollercoaster they are not scary at all.
@@thereisnopandemic for some people they are.
@@azyria1877 for some people jumping of the curve makes them a “trooper” in their mind.
She had a smile the whole time and the ride looks fun!!!
I worked at Cedar Pointe when Millennium Force came out. It was exciting and scary. She did AMAZING keeping her cool. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love her , poor baby, when she cried & said her eyelash came off , it made me laugh n smile. Good Reporting & yes she was still beautiful even on a 13 story drop
She’s so cute worried about not having a “pretty scream” 😂
"I DON'T HAVE A PRETTY SCREAM! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" So funny. Laughed all 4 times I watched this.
She is braver than I am. I would be crying my eyes out.
I seriously felt her fear! Lol she did absolutely great! Mad props to her
She was a good sport! So pretty too! Good to see that she had the courage to ride it. Looks like a lot of pure fun. Plus, she got to ride the front seat. That’s always a winner. She’ll always have a good memory. Good for her! Peace.
Why?? Why do her looks have ANYTHING to do with ANY of this? Weird..
@@ChanceToBe - Get a grip! It was just paying her a compliment! Nothing more and nothing less. Sure, her looks have nothing to do with her reporting. I just like calling a spade a spade. Besides, calling her pretty is a BIG compliment coming from me! I’m gay! Take it easy ma’am! It was only a nice compliment. Not weird! Have some peace.
@@ChanceToBe it was just a compliment. Don’t know why ur so offended by it, not like he said it in a creepy way or anything. Merely Trying to be nice
@@jackson1966 It's unnecessary. Period.
@@ChanceToBe someone doesn't get told they're pretty often enough... Jesus, relax.
Awww that rollercoaster looks amazing, ive not been back to six flags in years! but i hope to return to check out the new costers & huge well done to Samantha who bossed the ride, must be tough with the camera watching you the whole time! 😎
I loved watching this! Looks like an awesome ride. When I first went on the Goliath ride which was a drop of 255ft. It felt like you were going straight down after the first drop and end up going underground and back up. That was awesome!
Hopefully I will try this one out someday!
She is me every time I go on a roller coaster "My eyelashes! Oh NO!!!" lol
"My lashes are falling off" That has to be one of the most funniest things I have ever heard !! Watching from the UK - I am so jealous as I really would love to try it because of this video alone !!! Brilliant .
LOL! The sound she makes when she sees the dropoff and the ride begins the fall and the last scream a few seconds after she says, "My eyelashes are falling off!" 2:56
That was amazing! She did such a good job. That's awesome. :)
That was pretty intense. She deserves a raise!!
She took it a hell of a lot better then me lol i would be hollering n cursing every 2 seconds lol they would need that sensor button READY lol
Lol
What a good sport. The straps did not look nearly tight enough on her, I was so worried about her head snapping forward and how she kept leaning out the sides. I know there is a lap belt as well but man is she tiny. Looks like a fun coaster, I would totally ride it.
The straps were tight enough, the ride wouldn’t be allowed to operate if people who have a small frame could fall off of it. I think it looks a bit lose because part of the strap if flexible
“I don’t have a pretty scream!” Oh bless your heart, you are beautiful all other ways. That was one of the most genuine news segments I’ve seen.
I wanna give a victory hug to Samantha. So brave. It looked like she had a hoot! The Wonder Woman runs smoothly. Sam is the Wonder Woman and the whip!
She’s brave! I would not be able to get on, and to boot, pull it off with such grace!
A wholesome news report. Rare and needed.
0:37 Woman in the red: I’m so excited to take another ride with you.
Woman in Front: This was supposed to be my first time riding Alisa. 😂💀
She said “okay yeah” 😂
I’ve been on Jersey Devil (A little different from this ride but about the same) I got to say that the drop is awesome and super fast. The inversions feel super fast too and I would 100% recommend riding it if you’re in the area of Magic Mountain or Great Adventure
that's good to hear. Magic mountain's previous DC rides were not very good so this seems like an improvement
95% the same just 1 foot higher lol.
Its pretty much the same
with the only real difference being the turn out of the station (who cares), and one little extra hump to the break run (maybe 5% better than max, still seems like either could've had an inversion in that section), it is to be believed. If you like one, you'll like the other. Also the ride is longer even though it goes fast through the layout than all those 30 second high speed coasters (after you wait...literally at all) they keep building.
The jersey devil is so fun to ride. I live only 20 minutes away so I ride the coaster at least one time when I go to visit on the weekend
Getting on a rollercoaster having a deep fear of heights is always the best when you get used to it. Fun way to break the fear but in the end it always comes back lol my first ride was the one where it took forever to get to the top and then the drop was nasty. Felt like I jumped from my seat... Lolol I was so scared but that's what I do, face my fears.
same. My first ride was the big texas at six flags over Arlington. I'm not one to easily get scared but I was crying and begging the girl next to me to hold my hand as we neared the drop ahaha. Every time I ride a rollercoaster I always ask myself why am I here lol
I wish i was afraid of heights, i loooove the adrenaline. I always tell myself the ride is gonna break so I get more scared while on it lol
I’m afraid of roller coaster
@@mariogutierrez2965 🥴 sounds like u got a wish buddy
Imagine not having any fear of heights... you just leap off the first cliff you see. lmao.
She’s so beautiful!! I hope she had fun
It’s her “lashes falling off” for me! 🤣🤣🤣 She’s a champ! 👌🏾✨
2:06 look at the back with the guy with his hands up he is having the time of his life
She deserves a bonus for this
Wow. The absolute consummate professional. Real respect. Excellent reporting.
Great job Samantha! I probably would have forgotten about the camera and between my hysterical screams, crying and few choice words, there probably wouldn't have been much footage, lol.
@ 2:12 “I don’t have a pretty scream” 😏
2:13 😏
Oh thank you for this laugh!!!! And you rode that ride very gracefully.
She looked beautiful the whole time! 😍🤣 Im scared of roller coasters, but this made me kind of want to get one one day.
Samantha Cortese is just ❤ sexy and beautiful give her a bouquet 💐
Love how the guy in the third seat, and all of the ppl at the end just causally put their hands up for most of the ride.
This is a very smooth RMC single rail coaster. Thank Alan Schilke and the other engineers for building a safe, and thrilling ride.
Fun fact, Alam Schilke also designed X² when he was with the now defunct Arrow Dynamics. So, Magic Mountain has TWO Alan Schilke coasters!
Three to be exact, Twisted Colossus.
God bless you and job well done, Sam! This was a great roller coaster reaction 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 she definitely conquered that beast.
That coaster was so quiet and smooth compared to many other. Nice!
my cheeks hurt from watching this! loved this!
That ride looks amazing and she did awesome!
Bless this production crew. The video quality, and you can hear everything clearly, all live??!
“AAAAHHH,I don’t have a pretty scream”😂😂😂😂😂😂 hilarious!
Oh she's adorable. I love her❤
Lol this was the best 😂😂😂😂 she the real wonder woman!
Nope
Looks like a lot of fun. I rode the Jersey Devil single rail coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure and really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting this.
She was so composed 😭 I would’ve screamed like crazy
I rode it. The best way to describe it is “mild” great for a first big roller coaster for a kid. Definitely “girly” I feel like Wonder Woman deserved more.
Shut up
That’s definitely on my bucket list to do this year. Right on!
From that front view, I just realized how magnificent roller coasters are
Woah, she did great! I rode this the other day two times and got sat in the back on both. Definitely an intense experience!
Wow... this is the best I've seen on news instead of sad stories.. very fun it seems
Reporter: 🤦🏼♀️
Guy in the third seat: ✋🏿🧑🏿🦱🤚🏿
She deserves a promotion and a raise! 💰💰
"Ah, i dont have a pretty scream" + "My eyelashes are falling off" is me 🤣 everything I needed this morning 🙌🏼
I think her scream is adorable!
