  • With the closure of Do Dodonpa, we can’t help but see a greater trend within the coaster industry.

    We were behind you in line for a drink refill yesterday and snapped a picture of the back of your shirt. So glad I found your channel. I love the quality of information presented in your videos!

    I worked Disney Attractions for 9 years. I enjoy this style of Park coverage

    This is a very well put together video, and a really interesting subject too. Great job!

    I always wished these big launched coasters did more than just go up and down and slam the brakes. It looks like maybe Dododonpa (spelling?) might have done that. Shame. Also, this is an excellent video and i was genuinely confused by the view count. I'll subscribe, in case that does anything!

      Thanks for the support! I totally agree. There is so much potential when you have a ride going at such speeds, but more often than not it ends shortly after. My guess is that the launch mechanisms and surrounding systems are so expensive that it leaves little room for more.
      Dragster and Kingda aka were some of the most expensive coasters ever built at that time, and I’m sure the price would easily double if they added full layouts after the top hats.
      Even though they’re not the fastest of the bunch, some of the S&S air launched rides do have very solid layouts!
