  • Hello The62Productions: Thank You For Your Comment : ) It's Funny That You Have Mentioned That....Because If You Look At My Video & Pause It At 0:58 & Look To Your Left...You Will See A Stairway...That Stairway Was NOT There Until 1990 (two weeks After My Friends & I Were On The Ride & There Was A Rollback....They Took Us Off The Ride With A Apple Picker Crane ....THAT WAS A FUNNY DAY, Because They Offered Us Free Lunch (So We Went All The Way Out Ordering Lunch) LOL That was In March 1990

  • I always wanted to get stuck. Once here (great adventure) i just got off superman and my friends were on the train before me and they got stuck right behind the station in flying postion for 10 to 20 minutes. I laughed so much. lol

  • First roller coaster I ever went on.

  • Its funny cuz after u go up the 1st time it dips like a foot so u think u r going down and start screaming but then after a second you realize you aren't. :)

  • Much faster about 10 minutes before closing with no one one it but you :-)

  • not a scary coaster but still pretty fun

  • this is so not scary i live really close 2 Great Adventure NJ and this is so not scary it really isnt worth the line if youre ten or over. [ i'm ten!! =)

  • but it still is pretty fun=)

  • Very first coaster of mine. Love it.

  • my favorite hill on this ride is the last one before the turn back into the station, it lifts you off your seat

  • i no i hd to go wif my brothr so yea but it was fun but the superman batman nitro and kinkda ka ect are the best and way better then this rite? i think that ui luv the big rides

  • i went to this ride yesterday it was soo much fun

  • You got front seat on the classic Runaway Train !!

  • i love this ride lol(:

  • This ride is great. It's a classic. It's only a medium size coaster but I love it. The best hill is the one at 1:09 on the video. It's bigger in person than it looks on the video.

  • hey where is this ride anyway?

  • It's at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey.

  • six flags great adventure in new jersey

  • Still fun!

  • if u go on it like hal an hour to fifteen mins before the park closes, you can go on it twenty times till the park closes cause theres never a line (:

  • i love this ride

  • omg i almost fall of on this!

  • omg same!! i think it was this ride. they hav one lik this in ocean city nj and i went on it and the things that hold u in, i forget wat they r called but, were not tight enough on me it was lik for fat people and i almost fell out! IT SUCKED!

  • this ride is cool

  • this ride hurts like hell

    but was worth it

  • wow this ride looks small and for small kids lol i never been onn it tho.

  • Hello apc916: Believe It Or Not...... This Coaster Runaway Train Is The Only ORIGIONAL COASTER LEFT STANDING Since SFGA Opened 35 Years Ago Yeaterday July 4, 1974.Back Then It Was Called "Runaway Mine Train" I Even Remembered Going On It That Day .LOL

  • this ride is really fun. i went on it like 7 times and by the 5th time i didnt even scream (: there was like no line lol

  • I was riding this for my first time and I thought there was a big drop when we were going up but there wasen't D:

  • for a little baby coaster the first part is scar because you have like virtually no restraints lol

  • one of my favorite rides!1

  • That looked realy mellow.

  • at :30 its el toro cusz itz made of wood

  • it's el toro and kinda ka

  • i went on dis like 5 times

    i luv this ride

  • i love this one too.

  • i luv big drops!!!!!!! :DDDDD

  • at 0:30 what is in the background

  • Hello Jice2Fresh: Thank You For Your Question :) There Are Actually (2) Two Coasters You Are Asking About, The Tallest One Is Kingda Ka.....& The Wooden One Is El Toro :)

  • I thought that was it

  • Jice2Fresh those 2 are called Kingda Ka and El Toro

  • i went on this a few days ago and when i looked to my side Bizzaro freaked me out

  • Same! This was the first EVER roller coaster I went on and when I saw Bizzaro I freaked out thinking it was a BIG drop!

  • There's this part after the first drop where if you stick your head up too fast or if you're tall, you'll probably hit your head.

  • i love how u only hear one person saying 'woo' every now and then. haha but i like how when u first start out on this ride it spirals down. lol its fun

  • for some reason i like this ride. its kinda fun:) its good for people who dont like big rollercoasters like nitro and stuff<33

  • i loved this ride!!! it is awesome!

  • even though this is a kiddie ride it love it :)

  • kiddie rides are always fun...til u get stuck in the seat

  • this is fun kinda

  • didnt this ride get closed down cuz it killed some one in disney?

  • this is in six flags though

  • yeahh i got confused..

    the train in disney is called runaway mine train.

  • no, you're thinking of the Mini Railroad, and it is still open because it was the guy's fault.

  • no it wuz big thunder mountain railroad wuzent it??

    im not 2 sure...

    didnt it like derail or sommat??

  • The accident I'm thinking of was caused when an idiot guy hung his head out or something out of a coach, and he was hit by a nearby object, which killed him. Or maybe he jumped out. I don't know which, all I know is he died, and it was his fault, hence why the ride is still open.

  • Hello andrexiostudios: The Accident You Are Talking About Happened on August 16, 1981,On "Rolling Thunder" There Is No Reason For Rolling Thunder To Be Shut Down ...... Especially When The IDIOT A**HOLE WORKER DID NOT SECURE HIMSELF, That's His Own SUICIDE FAULT, NOT THE RIDE!! Below This Comment Of Mine Will Be The Newspaper Article.......................­....

  • Here Is The Newspaper Article:

    On August 16, 1981, a 20-year-old park employee from Middletown fell to his death from the Rolling Thunder roller coaster during a routine test run. An investigation by the New Jersey Labor Department concluded that the man may not have secured himself with the safety bar.

  • A park representative later confirmed this conclusion, saying that the employee "may have assumed an unauthorized riding position that did not make use of safety restraints." The ride was inspected, and the Labor Department concluded that the ride was "operationally and mechanically sound.

  • when i was little i thought i would fall out from 0:41 to 0:52 on this ride

  • me too when i was little that part where u go over the water my seatbelt bar thing popped up and i almost fell into the water while the coaster was moving! thank gosh my dad held onto my shirt. True Story.

  • my warm up ride is nitro

  • watch u jus said makes u more of a human being than anyone else n its tru i alwayyz go on nitro first and then i stopped so now my warm up ride iz the american scream machine...this iz the ride that my grandmother likes becus of its speed

  • i almost fell out of this ride.....

  • same here i was so scared! 0.0

  • me too i almost fell out over the water. i was standing up and someone grabbed onto me D:

  • i rode that 6 times in a row :D

  • once u leave the station thing were the people are waiting in line there's a mini drop and i thought that was it (the big drop) so i raised my hands and when i got there it was a big disappointment

  • omg.

    my friend never went to six flags and ive been a bajillion times

    i took her on this ride and she had to pee, also she thought is was so scary!! i was like calm down,

    sam with rolling thunder

  • when i was really young and 1st time on this coaster, i thought the coaster was going to drop into the lake 1:24 lol

  • i almost lost my hat on this ride lol grabbed it in mid-air. This ride is scary when you're in the back

  • I really enjoy this ride. It's not scary, but yet fun. You can't go to six flags without trying it. And it is a good warm up for the other ones! :)

  • definitely a good warm up ride! this and skull mountain. and then i'm ready for nitro! i can't wait till six flags opens!

  • this is the best ride to warm up for bigger ones :D

  • definitely! this and skull mountain. it's funny, i've been on all the coasters here, but i know when i go back this year, i'm gonna get scared and nervous all over again! especially the lift on nitro, and the wait for kingda ka to launch! : )

  • What six flags is this at? Where is it located?

  • Hello amandangabby: Thank You For Your Comment :) Here's A Funny Story You Might Like,,Back In The 90's My 3 Friends And I Went On Runaway Train And (0:58-1:00) The Train Rolled Back And we Were Stuck At That First Drop (Back Then They NEVER HAd The Stairs And We Had To Be Taken Down By Their Cherry Picker Crane),,,,One Of My Friends Was sooooooo Scad But SFGA Gave Us Free Lunch LOL

  • i went on it yester day and it was amazing

  • for some reason this is the bummpiest coaster in the park....nitro goes faster and yet its smoother...

  • Hello superserb623: Thank You For Your Comment :) The Answer To Your Comment:This Is The Only Coaster That Has NOT YET Been Removed From SFGA In New Jersey Since The Park Has Opened. :)

  • omigosh u r sooo right, while it had no loops or drops, i felt like i was being jerked around the whole time which made it scarier than the only other coaster i went on: batman the ride. I know, weird, right?

  • Still beats out Dark Knight

  • i went on that it was scary at some points

  • this looks fun.

  • i thought this was a freaking kids ride, my cousin got bruised and started crying, its FAST as helll...shiet.

  • I think that the ride's ok. It's not great , but its not that bad.

  • I hate this ride

    its soo boring

    but thats just me i prefer upside down roller coasters

  • Hello StarBaby500: Thank You For Your Comment :) Look At It This Way ....A Looooooooooong Time Ago Way Before You Were Born Upside Down Coasters Never Existed,This Was The Best They Did Back Then.

  • This ride ROCKS man. I love this one and the other one near the bay thingy. They both are awesome.

  • i love upside down ones too I didn't get a chance to ride it but based on this video, since it was my senior trip I'm kinda glad I didn't waste my time

  • ahhh... the good times when i was 8 i remember yelling "HOLY SNICKERDOODLES" on this thing lol

  • this ride was a beastly kiddy ride

  • i remember goin on this wen i was like 9 , it was a good first ride for me

  • i used this ride and the Twister as warm ups lol

  • if your new to six flags i would reccomend goin on this ride first :O

  • I love how it tricks you into thinking that there is a big drop at the begining. Good job!

  • Hello customfreak11: Thank You For Your Comment :)

  • lol would this be good for a first rollar coaster? xD Or would Batman be better...?

  • Hello xxxlunax: Thank You For Your Comment/Question :) I would Have To Say "Batman" That away You Will Get The Feeling Of Loop's & Corkscrew's :)

  • yeah its not max thrill rating but its a cool ride-really good scenery and its smooth and fun to ride also there are really short lines so you can ride it alot.

  • dis is fun

  • Lol,so how often do you go to six flags. This year is an exception since you haven't posted any six flags vids

  • Hello BBoiiLite: My Wife & I Have Not Been To Six Flags Great Adventure Since 2006 :( Only Because We No Longer Live In New York ,,,We Did Visit New York A Few Weeks Ago , But My Dog Fluffy (who Is On One Of My Video's Posted) Needed To Go To The Vet's. My Dog Always Comes First, Six Flags Will Just HAve To Wait :)

  • Looks pretty boring....

  • Hello BBoiiLite: Put It This Way Many Moon's Ago When Six Falgs Great Adventure Opened Up This (Runaway Train) And The Mouse Coaster Were Just About The Only Coaster Around.

  • that doest look like that great of a thrill it looks kinda boring

  • it was fun, it goes faster than you think

  • rode this 4 times in a row. come on there was no lines. n it was kinda kool. the whole pond turn thing was kool. it felt like i was gonna fall over.(KOOL) man some ppl were freakin out for no reason. i just sat there n laughed my guts out in my head.

  • there was NO line!

  • The best part of this ride is the swoop over the pond at the end.

  • ha! we rode this 3 tiimes straight!

  • I like to ride it at least once but the lines are too long and it's way too cramped. It's a fun, relaxing ride. I pretty much go from Nitro to El Toro and back & forth LOL! Nitro is my baby!

  • would this be a good first rollercoaster ride?

  • thats what i'm thinking, i guess yes

  • it is! this was my first and i rode it over 5 times in the same day, its awesome! best part is when it goes to across the water, you feel like it's tilting over, lol, its kind of scary but not scary enough for someone to start screaming hysterically, more like you can't stop laughing, lol

  • no it is not

  • yeah the drops are not that imense.

  • this ride isnt as scary as it seems

  • agreed

  • I have been afraid of this ride for three years, and finally went on yesterday. I screamed so loud my throat started bleeding and I was shaking like crazy, but I conquered my fear, and I'm proud of myself. (:

  • whoa,ur throat was bleeding? how do u scream so hard? this ride is scary only cause it looks like ur gonna smash ur head against the tree.
