Windjammer Roller Coaster Front Seat POV Knott's Berry Farm California

[losalisosboy7]

That doesn't look like a High Speed roller coaster

[rextony22]

its too bad ididn't get to ride that ride before. what took its place?

[SomeUncoolDude]

@rextony22 Xcellerator

[coasterdude2006]

I like how no one talks until that painful "UUUUUUUGH" at the end. XD

[stardustdragon864]

so it is fake

[LoveStallion]

Notice how no one is screaming with excitement.....

[LoveStallion]

My gosh this was terrible. Ah, the memories.

[Mrfoodlvr614]

... and now we have Xcelerator!

[brammetje545]

auw auw auw auw auw ooh ooh dude. Aah tht hurt

[hbfarker]

Truly one of the dullest roller coasters ever made. The soapbox racers were way better than this.

[ILIKTURTLEZ]

LOOKED FUN IM ONLY 12 SO I WAS 3 WHEN THEY TOOK IT DOWN, at least the still had boomerang!!

[MacintoshPlus1MB]

I LOVE THE TAGS

[BEPcrazie]

what year did u film this?

[awsomej177]

thank god they replaced this crappy ride for xcelerator

[lazerlinestudio]

boomer and was blue and sky tower was colorful?

[5SpicyBitches]

@lazerlinestudio Yes, this video is from before knott's turned into complete crap.

[cableaccesslover]

The people hating on this ride have no idea how popular it was. Even though it was a crappy coaster, the lines were hella long.

[BobinK100]

@cableaccesslover

Just becuase the lines are long doesn't mean a ride is popular it could just mean it breaks down a lot or is really slow loading...look at rocket rods in disneyland line was always an hour just cause it got backed up with slow loading and constant breakdowns.

[winningfreak1]

photo Documentations of the removal of this ride search twisted rails windjammer in google >_>

[Gigidag77]

The ride itself (layout and everything) looked pretty awesome, but ...it had to be a Togo...

[PHAEDRIDER]

worst ride ever .

[oldham009]

That things made for Bozo Da Clown. Fail

[TheDrewsonsofAmerica]

0:07 high speed roller coaster my ass

[MonkeyBallistiX]

this looks like a headache waiting to happen...

[HP148409]

oh god i miss this ride so much. it used to be my favorite. <3

[Rhinoryan97]

It sounds like a trash can rolling down a hill

[Reaperdoctor]

This coaster was made on rct3. No! It's more like theme park DS.

[megabutter78]

When did they take it down?

[nelsonr12]

@megabutter78 because it sucked

[winningfreak1]

@megabutter78 It last ran March of 2000, but was standing and not operating until mid 2001 because of a lawsuit Cedar Fair ( owner of Knott's ) had with Togo ( maker of the ride) and they kept it up for evidence.

[AdrenalineAddict610]

Xcelerator is 1000 times better than this POS.

[dollofvoodoo]

Looks like you're going down a bumpy road in slow motion.

[coastersuk]

That looks ROUGH!!

[Megablueforce]

@coastersuk It was, that's why they took it down and why Xcelerator is standing today

[StruckByRain]

I remember seeing this ride being taken down. I never rode it though.

[koolkillax]

Was that it?

[JarshMaul]

This ride sucked so much. I remember being a kid and thinking "THIS replaced the classic soap box racers?" Damn Cedar Fair has really brought down Knott's Berry Farm. :o(

[cableaccesslover]

@JarshMaul soap box racers were dumb. they were slow and i always hurt my back on them.

plus this was my first looper, so i can't hate on this one.

[littlemexicantheif]

i don`t like knot berry farm even though owned by cedar fair too many near misses and malfunction i say that park is a 3 star safety rating that's being generous

[LAsuperfly94]

if JPizzle filmed this ride, he would say, "thumbs up if you should microwave this ride"

[RockPrinc3zz]

thats not in knotts... -__-

[djlegend1234]

@RockPrinc3zz it was but got sold for scrap. the space its in here is where accelerator is

[iMrMagnifesent]

EXTREME!!!

[ThePolkadotz12]

This must suck cause I didnt hear any screams.

[FreakinAndreaa]

thts NOT KNOTTS BERRY FARM!

[nelsonr12]

@FreakinAndreaa yea it is, this ride USED to be there

[MrHOLLYWOODSTAR514]

@FreakinAndreaa YES IT IS!!!!! this was knotts in 1997 but they had lots of problems with that ride so they took it out and got XCELERATOR ! and then they put the perilus plung then painted boomerang purple and green and know it the knotts we all know and love!!!!!

[MrP90xer]

woow this is old XD

[bailee425]

I've never seen this ride at knott's is it new?

[Fuzzy007able]

@bailee425 no this is well old

[NEScRETRO]

it's basically a loop, then a ride to the loading station...

[bandman232]

The ride that killed togo... We no onger have to live in fear. :D

[iTomzXD]

@bandman232 but togo made the OMFG ride in Japan that they love D:

[W00tPwnr]

where is this ride? it wasn't there when I went about 3 weeks ago

[LinuxTux37]

@W00tPwnr Gone. It's been gone for 10 years. A mechanical nightmare, it almost always was broken down, was painful, and expensive. Knott's sued TOGO, the manufacturer, for building a faulty product, and won. TOGO was put out of business because of it, and Xcelerator took the ride's place. It only operated for three years.

[W00tPwnr]

@LinuxTux37 thanks for the clarification, I was gonna say that the video quality looked good for 10+ years ago

[lemonite1]

@LinuxTux37 No Togo won the lawsuit but it didn't matter cuz it was out of business. Most people don't know Togo's side of the story.

[winningfreak1]

@lemonite1 Do you know it? is there somewhere with information on it? would be an interesting read

[lemonite1]

@winningfreak1 I was told by a Japanese friend that the insurance in Japan is way higher when it comes to theme parks.Japanese roller coasters are thus over built in Japan and the restrictions are limitless since land is expensive and earthquakes are frequent.This put TOGO in a funny place since it existed during the roller coaster wars.They were never gunna survive.Their rides here were thus much cheaper versions than their Japanese counterparts.

[ofelixdacat]

I LOVE this ride! It was themed better than the Xcelerator.

[Grim19931803]

UGH!

[supercoolcat911]

Looks so Boring

[Metanoia28]

@DragonStomp365 Why is it so bad ? :D

[Domosuke]

Bah, this ride was the shit before xcellerator came. I remember the line went all the way to camp snoopy to get on. Yeah its a shitty coaster, but you have to remember this is way before silver bullet and xcellerator, so this what everyone went on.

[Reaperdoctor]

omg was this made on rct3?

[TheseYeahThese]

haha i remember this ride... it sucked balls

[MrBraaddd]

This was my First looping Roller Coaster!!!

I was 8!! now im 19

[navyfreek1129]

This is like one of those roller coasters you make in roller coaster tycoon.. you try so, so hard to make it look fun and original. But in the end, it just sucks.

[RedSandStudios]

@navyfreek1129 So true.

[MrMattinator1]

This ride was the first looping coaster I ever went on back when I was 6 years old and was my favorite ride. Im 20 now and look back at this ride and think "What a piece of shit."

[JohnCandyFanChannel]

Back when I lived in California, soap box was there, what happened.

What the hell is Windjamer?

[chimayai]

LOL R.I.P TOGO

[bradtna5467]

Where Is This Located At Knott's Berry Farm???

[ttztotdca55]

@bradtna5467 It used to be where Xcelerator now is.

[ProdigyX65]

u can tell this ride is wack nobody is creaming xD

[QuadropheniaBrosef]

@ProdigyX65 i didnt cream either. the rides far too rough. it beats the riders up.

[mcsuper47]

when was this built?

[TheLApitfighter]

@mcsuper47 i think it was built in 1996

[JFrombaugh]

1:30 "Ugh!"

LOL

[cuhsweleanlikecholos]

I went there yesterday and the entire park looked so much different, and better. Less ghetto.

[RedSandStudios]

Geez, TOGO sucks. We don't need them. B&M, S&S Arrow, Vekoma, Intamin and Great Coasters all make far better roller coasters.

[djlegend1234]

@RedSandStudios what about mack?

[RedSandStudios]

@djlegend1234 Hmm them too. I didn't think about them since they aren't as famous.

[djlegend1234]

@RedSandStudios atleast there better than togo

[WillysBurgGuy]

I remember waiting to ride this wretched thing with my nephew and noting all the seats that had "Do Not Use" tape wrapped around them.

[OneRedRocket]

Wow I Blanked this coster out of my mind

lets hope that happens with Pony Express as well

[totaldramafreak12]

the yellow side looks alot more fun

[Skippyboy2348]

@supercflash no you dont. It really was a day ruiner when you would get stuck on it, or generally hurt on it. This ride is best left in memory.

[SuperCFlash]

I wish I would've rode this before they had Xcelerator. It looked like a cool ride.

[Coaster123ification]

Whats that yellow ride on the right side in the beginning?

[LAsuperfly94]

@Coaster123ification the other part of the ride. i remember going there when i was 3 and that side was never open.

[killwize]

Wind can Literally stop this coaster!

[imagineerboi]

Wow this ride looks awful. So many sharp dips and turns while going at a relatively high speed.

[MrJuly1990ish]

@DragonStomp365

And Magic Mountain's Psyclone, that ride beat the shit out of the riders literally! I mean, hurt your back, arms, knees and ass. But Windjammer was a joke though, I rather ride the Wacky Soap Box Races for 24 hours straight than to ride this Windjammer shit for one minute.

[riddick0846]

this ride just sounds unsafe

[coasterkid21]

At least it this ride rid the world of togo's. Though some were good . . . most weren't.

[coasterkid21]

Looks like this suffered a case of togo roughness.

[xxUndeadAngel562xx]

i went to knotts on the 20 and didn't see this ride is this in Long Beach

[mts50mts]

@xxUndeadAngel562xx Nope its at knotts. Where Xcelerator is now that is where Windjammer used to be.

[ovega95]

OMG! For the first time, it didn't malfunction!

[mts50mts]

Does Togo even know how physics work? The ride looks like its going 5 mph.

[koasterkav]

I rode it back in the day. One and done for me. If you were tall (me) it was VERY uncomfortable. Sort of like a wild mouse trying to be something better, but failing badly!

[DotsProductions]

it looks soooo rough and horrible

[beatle11]

The infamous Windjammer. More like Jammedbywind.

[yunga11star]

thats not knotts berry farm lol jkjk

[ogromeo714]

It wasn't that bad

[iTomzXD]

i wonder who built this '' mechanical nightmare ''

[slosprint5]

@iTomzXD THat would be Togo.

[adamadamwoo789]

What an embarassment for the whole amusement industry!

[djfireball999]

@adamadamwoo789 I wouldn't take it that far, at all.

[QueerRudie]

I think I need a Chiropractor watching that video. My neck is bent six ways from Sunday there.

[Sum1MakinVids]

And the ride looked like this only two years into its run?

Now I can see why Togo got sued!

[hogbackmtn]

Well that was weird.

[greenday61892]

It doesn't sound stable :(

[coastermadab]

Poor Togo!

[dmlfan928]

I had to watch this after the "that was worse than windjammer" comment at the end of Manhattan Express POV

[rspeck]

I want a Windjammer vid with commentary from Rob.

[rollerghost615]

Aw... I wanted some funny dialog. lol Oh well...

[djlowtek]

@DragonStomp365

why?

[Epicosity101]

@djlowtek Dude I swear, i was watching this video and i was just thinking "why...what reason..." lol

[davisal771]

Ouch.
