[5pinitOfficial]

[acgp0922]

[TheBananaman380]

lol just compare this to the kingda ka we know now

[00YsoSerious00]

lol

[slimmyjimmy0582]

did these people go to college??? clearly 5mph isnt goona do it. lol

[CDMC1404]

need to be able to walk before you learn to run

[SoundsGayLike]

It isnot a fail At the Beginning they had to Test the perfect Launch Speed.. Thumbs up so everybody can Read it

[1blueshe]

@SoundsGayLike i know on a difrent vid i tried exsplaning that and some dudes like your an idiot

[cool45010]

Ooh silent movie! Gonna go put on my ragtime for this!

[madad0406]

"Alright, men, I think we can rule out 5 mph."

[kustomcarbuilder108]

they had to break her in slowly...

[lieutenantnerf]

Lamest. Rollback. Ever.

[funkymonkey99ful]

I'm no expert but I'm pree sure it's supposed 2 go fast :/

[Sassytheguineapig]

Lolololol, Fail xD!

[picomfunfan97]

EPIC FAIL

[Legoguy1395]

Rollback ;D

[CSM0fficial]

uh ya thats the ride the rest is for show to bad

[ProSmackers]

FAILED

[a7xfanboylolololol]

30 mph in 3.8 seconds...

[TheBananaman380]

@a7xfanboylolololol 18 mph in 19 seconds

[kk456128]

this isnt the first exact launch because the first tests were conducted at night but yes this is ONE of the first

[airsoftreviewer8]

thats way to scary for me

[jonothing23]

Did anyone see how fast it went, truely record breaking

[zcaable]

It was a very fast ride by what i saw but this is krap i mean really

[JoeSaysLegalize1]

epic fail

[laserboy831]

0-1 mph in only 1 second!!!

[FareedXTuBeS]

but the formulla roossa's first ride wasn't slow it was 240 km/h like each ride of the coaster :: but maybe they made it slow because of the high hill to not get in problems with the coaster system

[kimmijrockdork]

@FareedXTuBeS thats probably it... idk formula roossa looks boring. Have you been on it?

[soccerfalco14]

That my friends is what I call progress

[mariomario2202]

maybe a fat guy wuz sittin at the bak

[The1997jorge]

they should cut it in half so you go forward then you do it again backwards

[0624taffytwinkletoes]

so close

[theIDKer]

epic fail!:)

[ColKorn1965]

this is a manly ride.

[tyroandloaded]

21,000 horsepower is usually needed to get it up

[TinasEntertainers]

@tyroandloaded that's what she said

[rihannarocks6]

LMAOO IT DIDNT GET UP

[boxcart94]

haha, mini rollback :D

[xxXrainburnsXxx]

This is them testing it after it got struck by lightning

[couuurtneeey]

@xxXrainburnsXxx hmm this vid is from 2007? i thought it got struck in 2009?

[xxXrainburnsXxx]

@couuurtneeey it also got struck in the 2007 season

[Infitiniater]

Whaat....?

''Oh yeah it's SOO fast!''

[TalentedArtStudioz]

FAKE, not first launch, cuz the carts are orange, they were originally green

[yupyupyupok]

@TalentedArtStudioz and this vid is from 2007 it opened in 2005

[AsItNeverSeems]

@TalentedArtStudioz there are 6 trains with different colors in each. so it could be

[PolishGuy89]

@AsItNeverSeems, Kingda Ka  only has 4 trains, each a different color for easy identification, green, dark blue, teal, and orange

[AsItNeverSeems]

@PolishGuy89 k. i didnt remember the train count but i knew it was big for such short ride

[R11014]

@TalentedArtStudioz they have 4 trains, and they are all different colors, orange, navy, light blue, and green.

[pezracing20]

it was a little short lol

[evilsheep123]

lol at first i thought it was in slow-mo. i'm such a douch!

[millienniumforce]

Dragster can be faster than kingda ka. TTD can sometimes lanuch at 130 mph. First time I rode it we hit 126 mph.

[pezracing20]

@millienniumforce true i agree

[HotyBoy17]

and the que time is long because of the crowds, DUH! even with both sides open it will still be long. the longest i waited was 2 hours, the shortest time i waited was 15 minutes. i rode this thing 5 times in one day during a saturday, perfect weather, too. again, you guys are reading false info somewhere or getting it from somebody.

[HotyBoy17]

idk what you guys mean break down 7 times a day. two summers ago i went three times that summer and out of all the days i went, it broke down only twice. it was closed all last summer and the summer 0f 08 i went twice and it only broke down once and it only took 45 minutes to fix. so idk what you guys are talking about. your finding false information somewhere

[fletcherhf73]

FAIL

[lolboyfromga]

i rather ride...TTD[Top Thrill Dragster]Personaly,to me its better...

[gostboy56]

i agree

[gDisk13]

yea ur right it has a better theme and it doesntbreak down 7 times a day

[Jannik94able]

Kingda Ka is the highest coaster.....the fastest is in Germany...Ring Racer:

219 km/h

[CharlesStudios]

F1 Coaster at Ferrari World is going to be the fastest sometime this year when it opens

[PhantomloverSNAFU]

@CharlesStudios it's not a caoster it's a racetrack :P. that doesn't count.

[CharlesStudios]

@PhantomloverSNAFU Yes it is, look up Formula Rossa

[cranksunlimited]

@CharlesStudios F1 SUCKS

[CharlesStudios]

@cranksunlimited It sure is better than that joke Ring Racer though.

[cranksunlimited]

@CharlesStudios haha yeah can't argue with that

[DarksporkLeader]

That thing is an engineering nightmare. Every time I've been to Six Flags, Kingda Ka was closed for four hours or more.

The launch motors just don't have proper cooling.

[gDisk13]

yea i saw on wiki that it breaks down at least 7 times a day and 3 hour long qeue times. wich is y im goin on ttd again this year

[DarksporkLeader]

Yeah, you'd better have a flash pass if you want to go on this ride.

[SpartanElite095]

@gDisk13 Dude. It's awesome. The fixes take about 10 minutes, and the lines are nowhere near 3 hours.

[gDisk13]

@SpartanElite095 ...goddam wikipedia. but still breaking down can make a major hazard 4 stuff i mean dragster only broke down wen i went cuz it had a rollback and its hard for them to take it back without th computer launching it i mean theyr both fine bu dragster seems mor well themed

[SpartanElite095]

@gDisk13 Well considering I live 20 minutes from Great Adventure I'd rather go to Kingda Ka than Dragster. If I was ever near Cedar Park I would go on it too. : D

[pgchr1s1234da2]

@SpartanElite095 same

[IhateLegg]

@SpartanElite095 Same here. I live closer to Cedar Point so I would rather go on Dragster, but if I lived near New Jersey, I would rather go on Kingda Ka :)

[myoblastic]

@gDisk13 kingda ka has it's own tiger...

[kimmijrockdork]

@DarksporkLeader Yes those kind of rides have a lot of power and require a lot

[FopTheOrangeYoshi]

They were actually testing the systems because if they went at full speed the first time the system would be stressed because it has never been used before

[gstring97]

jeez they shud keep it like that lol

[PolishGuy89]

They need to test the safety feature in case that car come rolling back

[ilikecheesegirlXP]

the cars on Kingda Ka (and top thrill) have falling back the way they came up. And both rides are prepared if that ever happens. I witnessed a rollback at Cedar Point, right after it rained it rolled back. It rolled safely back, just took forever to launch it again. So yea if it does rolls back it is safe. No worries =)

[churoasasin]

ah? ah? ahhh...

[Xkjgmcr522X]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! xD

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

the kingda fail

[rollercoastersrock]

not really. they were just testing to make sure that the cable worked, they increase the speed that they test at little by little.

[Stubborndrek123]

I think I can, I think I can!

And then...

FAIL!!!

But I still love this ride

[love4knex]

that right there needs to be on fail blog xP

[thecoolkid657]

weeee?

[ghostguy2k7]

EPIC FAIL

[lehewych123]

FAIL

[magicgameplayer127]

i was there...

[Bassethound12343]

kingdom :P

[kdderosa]

Looks Like Kingda Ka wasn't King of the coasters yet during this film, anyway nice!

[Tyrone191]

this is like heating up the motor like you would with your car on a cold day. i saw the documentery on this and by 3am they did a full powered launch and it didnt make it over the top then they reset the computer and everything tried again and as luck has it, it scrapped over the top. p.s. kingda ka is the best :)

[asaisaac]

Drgstr420: When they first test rides like this they start out very slow and let it work its way up. This is fairly normal.

[josephmc97]

@asaisaac well that must of taken aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggges

[LukasCorporation]

um... i see that TTD (top thrill dragster) got STUCK up the TOP of the tower that shows how good Cedar Point is

[Drgstr420]

ya that happened twice with people on it...and it would be awesome to get stuck or get a rollback...its even more exhilarating

[TheerIsEre]

i see wat u mean but TTD was opened in 2003 and KK was opened in 2005 so TTD had more chance of getting stuckk at the top cuz there were more launches n stuff!!

[omfg567]

Uhhh kingda Ka has gotten stuck at the top numerous times...

[rollercoasterdudes]

no that is top thrill dragster

[omfg567]

Are you serious? I hope not.

[rollercoasterdudes]

no it is true type

in the search box top thrill dragster gets stuck

[keridog1]

FAIL ITS KINGDA KA

[rollercoasterdudes]

this video is not top thrill dragster its kingda ka

i was just having a conversation about top thrill dragster

[jonnoj2222]

They have to see if the ride will release from the pully system before anything else.

[AsItNeverSeems]

@Drgstr420 wow you are a fag. epic fail

[rollercoasterfan97]

funny, cause when they are "warming it up" its probably being launched at like 60 mph

[souljaskata]

Are they actually trying to make it up the tower? lol

[rollercoastersrock]

doubt it just probably warming up the launching mechanism

[numbers89]

ummmm...prolly tightening the cable...thats what they do on ttd when they replace it

[rollercoasterfan97]

yeah it looks like its rollbacking kinda, but really the first time they ever properly launched it, they did it at slower speeds just to warm it up.

[g739]

where is this ????? i no six flags but witch 1 u americans are lucky u go so many theme parks

[katyandvic]

its in newjersey

[gamemaster3543874]

its great adventure

[xVipeRPaiNx]

SixFlags great adventure in new jersey its a really fun ride i think it would be better if it rollebacks you fisrt thwen shoot you all the way xD at least if they didi it on purpose in a 1/3 chance!!

[skayter96]

i was at my frends house, and he lives . 5 miles from great adventure and we cud here the peole screaming on this ride!

[xVipeRPaiNx]

lol. i don;t doubt it. Are you friend is lucky if i lived that close to great adventure i be there every weekend(when is open)

[skayter96]

yeah he pretty much is. but i dont go often cause i have a weak stomach so i cant do rollercoasters

[DisneyChannelGossips]

its in new jersey. lmao yea i guess we're pretty lucky.

[souljaskata]

Yeah we are lol

[conweber54]

Up. . . Not Even fucking close

[hockeyfan212212]

so close

[manofaction232]

when i went on i threw up lol

[illicusefan79]

dude i thought it was gunna go overr maybe a little more speed next time

[thepwnmaster]

they're just testing the launch system

[RCT3Judge]

do you think im retarted? why would you wait til 2 years after that launch to put it up. the ride cam out in 2005 u put it up just last year!

[dslite804]

RCT3Judge: he wouldn't

He probably just had found the movie and uploaded it

Plenty of people have videos of the construction of King Da Ka and released it 2 years later

Common knowledge...

[luke7is7cool]

"No, No. ONE twenty eight, not twenty eight. O God..."

[peacehappy09]

clearly they didnt have it set to 128 mph yet. hahaa

[rotjesenmatjes]

XD  .

[importantwoman]

@peacehappy09 do you know what that is in kilometres?

[TheRedstormshadow]

@importantwoman 164 kilometers per hour = (102 mph) then 128mph should equal 196 kilometers.I think I know I'm not peacehappy09 but he hasn't being around for two years I doubt he would answer you or any one have a nice day...

[vincent12225]

how long would it take to get here from epsom NH

[Bassmasta94632]

a long time it is locateded in NY

[vincent12225]

oh kk

[therealeggplant]

Actually no, it's located in New Jersey.

[Bassmasta94632]

ik i had a typo

[woodencoasterfan]

Yep, it's in Jackson, NJ. Pretty close to halfway inbetween NYC and Philly.

[salva4lyfe95]

no it nj dumbass

[Bassmasta94632]

i said that....i just typed it wrong...i kow it is in nj i was FREAKIN THERE THIS LAST FRIDAY

[gainsider]

Use google maps and stop asking.

[Hans418]

@vincent12225 i live in keene,nh and it takes me 5-6 hours

[vincent12225]

how long would it take to get here from epsom NH

[TimMc333]

Hmmmm... "a bit more power boys..."

[RollerCoasterMaster2]

They Where Doing That To Were In The Cable. They Made A Documentary About The Construction Of The Ride And They Shot It Slow Then Gradually Went Faster While They Where Testing It To Where In The Cable That Launches The Car!

[coolcup5]

that would suck if it derailed and like crushed a car in the parking lot. Even if it did i would still ride it again.

[GEORGiEWiLKiNS]

HAW LONG DOSE IT TAKE TO GET TO THIS PARK FROM

Internactniol Drive Orlando

[pogus73]

If you drive it would probably take 12 to 13 hours if you fly probably i have no clue. it depends on how fast u fly and how far airports are.

[novanut35]

haha dude..try like 16

[mastertaylor180]

If you fly, it would probably take you around 3-3.5 hrs (on an average airplane that is) =]

[dawg0126]

ive gone from here to orlando, on a good day about 2.5 hours.

[Mainmanmorg13]

THATS ON PURPOSE!

[electronkid1]

its goin like that cause its the first launch

they have 2 make sure every track piece works

so they do it by a little

if they lach it strait up if one of the pieces dont work it fwill fly off

at least if the do it slowly if thares a broken piece thell see it crack a littl and the coaster has time 2 roll back get it?

[jviz2way]

they had to keep doin tht untill it got to 128

[nwyrkmets8]

I hate when people make fun of roller coasters when they have no idea what there talking about

[sixflags42]

hell yeah mostly when they think kingda ka is 1 bil mph.... fun to correct them! :p

[sixflags42]

not really

[lollymaniac]

were is kingda ka is it in emerica

[allakazi24xkadic]

six flags great adventure jackson new jersey, USA, North America DUH

[xrockxerx]

It just goes up alittle more every time. i thnk i can, i think i can, i think i can! lol

[xrockxerx]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! IM SCARED!

[benbenben1221]

hahaha

that's funny as hell

[ddrwannabe]

going at a top speed of over 10 miles pr hour, kingda ka has officialy NOT cleared the 456 foot hill.however, it may have cleared a 10 foot hill.

[coastergamer]

wow that rly is the fastest coasters, and i thought its a small world was extreme!

[Pikahound]

i really wanna go on the kingda ka

[ThePoison56]

HOLY CRAP I JUST WET MYSELF

[joodeh]

It went faster when it got down

[FuryRanger]

I THINK THAT BROKE THE SOUND BARRIER!

[coasters65]

wow

[cpsoad]

lmao I didn't expect that.

okay
