Evel Knievel Front Seat on-ride POV Six Flags St. Louis

[fallingbehind100]

this rollercoaster looks so much like the one in final destination 2!!

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@devolition5456 Yes, we have on-ride POVs of many of the coasters at Magic Mountain posted on this channel & we recently returned there to film many of our favorites in HD, which we will be posting over the next couple of months. We already posted the new videos of Deja Vu we filmed, if you want to check them out.

[trysta123456789]

Sitting in the back is funnner(: and i am going there satturday for friight feest and its my aunts birthday:D

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@devolition5456 They changed the name because Six Flags decided not to renew the Evel Knievel name/brand license.

[DANCErin1370]

i love this ride

i rode it at night so i couldent c any thing it was so scary!

[CiciTheHoboHead]

I would so go on this! :D

[qdoba28]

i love this ride i went 7 times in a row

[theawesomehamster]

Which would you say is better?

1. "The Boss"

2. "American Thunder" (aka Evil Knievel)



[singoutloud2utube]

@theawesomehamster YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING! THIS IS NOTHING COMARED TO THE BOSS!!!!!!!!

[MrBootyDickk]

now THIS looks amazing!

[Majiconjuan1]

I love this ride

[TheJ8K8]

This is a copy of Thunderbird at Powerpark Finland

[bling1571]

Is this like Renegade at Valleyfair? PLEASE RESPOND!

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@bling1571 It's similar, but this one is slightly better.

[lizkee]

I remember watching Robbie Knievel jump 25 cars in the parking lot to promote this ride's opening. Very cool. When I lived in St. Louis, I always had a season pass for Six Flags--this became my favorite ride in the park. It corners really well and if you sit in the front car with your hands up, it feels like you're flying when the train catches air. Super fun but it doesn't beat you up like the Boss or Screamin' Eagle. That first corner and drop will surprise you!

[CoolioJoe100]

I'm pretty sure you guys had a POV of The Voyage on your channel a while ago, but I can never find it anymore. :( Why is that? I'd REALLY like to see that ride from you again!

[TheShelbyrocks]

Is this like THE VIPER at Six Flags Great America? PLEASE RESPOND!!

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@TheShelbyrocks It's much better than Viper. It's faster, has a better layout, nicer trains & much more air-time.

[TheShelbyrocks]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Oh then I wont ride it. I am sort of a wimp. :( Dont make fun of me please. I am only 10.

[rickram1961]

@TheShelbyrocks

Yep pretty similiar to the Viper! I agree!

[themegachase99]

This ride is frekin awsome

[MsSimpsonizer143]

why did they change it 2 thunder mountain!?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@MsSimpsonizer143 It's actually called American Thunder, not Thunder Mountain & they changed the name because Six Flags decided not to renew the Evel Knievel name/brand license.

[RodneyBernett2O11]

This ride is kinda boring to me, sorry IMO . . I mean it's okay :/

[carlybieber101]

@RodneyBernett2O11 have you rode it!?!!?!?!?Because you cant say ANYTHING bad about it if you have not rode it because after you ride it you are amazed

[RodneyBernett2O11]

@carlybieber101 of course Ive ridden it . . . & like I said, it was boring IMO . .

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@cooliomatt88 Where? Not on this coaster.

[BridgetRenee6]

How r u using ur camera and not getting caught.

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@BridgetRenee6 If you get permission to film beforehand, you don't have to worry about that.

[BridgetRenee6]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Okay i was jw

[BridgetRenee6]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Okay i was just wondering

[zumiezelemento14]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom about how much time beforehand?

[jeffg24LT21]

went on it 4 times today its amazing

[NotoriousEspada]

Hey which one do you think is better Prowler at Worlds Of Fun Or American Thunder at Six Flags???

[Desperado210xa]

I lost my Rollor Coaster virginity to this ride yesterday...

[319wick]

It's a pretty good ride I just wish it wasn't so jerky!

[jimindrix3]

Jeeze, that looks like a TOTAL Migraine inducer! *holds head* '(>m<)'

[compute101]

What's it called now

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@compute101 American Thunder

[CoolioJoe100]

Anyone know why they changed the name?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@CoolioJoe100 The park's license for the name & branding ran out & they decided not to renew the contract.

[CoolioJoe100]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom LOL! Just like Terminator/Apocalypse! XD Cheap ol' Six Flags! But seriously, Six Flags is awesome.

[VannaSawannah]

i thought this was called american thunder?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@VannaSawannah It is now, but not at the time we filmed or posted it.

[JackMEYHOFF4eva]

This ride is sooooooo scary when u go on ur side but syill super fun

[2010cheche]

Too Bad they renamed this ride.....

[LollipopsFeelinLucky]

Loooveee this ride!! Wayy good! Been on it before and it was soo fast!! :)

[wickedphant0m]

Wow, that looks great. Excellent pacing, unique layout, good balance of hills vs. curves. Just goes to show that "tallest" and "fastest" don't always mean "best".

[thedimeckks]

Is this better than El toro at Great Adventure?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@thedimeckks Uh... No!

[thedimeckks]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom hahhahah i thats what i thought! but i wanted to confirm it :]

[TSDAirsofter]

that ride is so much fun when i rode it me and my friend were like hmmmm is this safe with an average speed of 60mph

[JadesNotGrey]

I LOVE THIS RIDE. the seats are comfy ;D

[RcT2heidelberg]

looks awesome!

[MetallicaManiac31]

looks like a waste of time to ride. I'm going there next summer

[McCluerNorthStars]

omg this ride is for babies . The boss is waaay better than this ! if u think this is scary go ride kingda ka in new jersey almost 450 ft tall 128 mph . Now that's crazy !

[RedCroc12]

@McCluerNorthStars This is a completely different ride to kingda ka. It's agressive and fast, and provides a different experience. It's not for babies and anyway the boss sucks.

[McCluerNorthStars]

@RedCroc12 it was IMO so i i really dont care what you think #JussSayin . . .

[IhaveSonar]

@McCluerNorthStars Have you ever ridden a wooden roller coaster?

[joshuamadison54]

omg that ride is so fun im going to fright fest this sunday/Halloween

[inuloveskagome]

XD the pictures you get off this ride when you're going down the first hill are absolutely hilarious.

[iwillkickurasright1]

when i was at six flags st.louis this ride stopped completely at the top and we watched as everyone had to walk down it

[xxAlca2012xx]

@iwillkickurasright1 that happened with the Boss today. :o It was creepy. xD

[AwesomeCoasters]

LOL I searched for Evil Knievel Pov on YT

[MissTummiBear]

i didnt get to ride this wen i went to six flags i wanted to ride batman again

[skullxheartshadouge]

This ride ALWAYS scares the crap out of me! lol I've been on scarier ones but this one freaks me out lol but I love it anyways xD

[mrsawesomeness147]

i love that ride!!!!! i went to ride that with my church youth group!!! so fun!!

[MissTummiBear]

i swear this is the boss or jusst like it

[manolleke]

@MissTummiBear  No. It's not. This one's actually more fun than the Boss.

[McCluerNorthStars]

@MissTummiBear NOOOOO the boss is waay bigger & faster !

[Infitiniater]

This is a copy of Thunderbird in PowerPark, Finland

[loreizzle395]

@Infitiniater not at all, same manufacturer, but not the same layout

[Alaeriia]

@loreizzle395 Actually, it's the same layout. GCII denies it, but it is the same.

[Alaeriia]

@Alaeriia Edit: They're slightly different; the difference is in the profile of the first turnaround.

[donovanh77]

i was here last week and this was my favorite roller coaster

[mrlegoman650]

that just is fun its so cool how its built im going there tmarrow

[Shanoboy9]

Most comfortable seats on a rollercoaster. Also not jerky and great ride

[AudriAndIzzy]

Now nobody get pissy at me , theres one just lie this its called "ghost rider" at knottsberry farm, did ghost rider copy this? lol (everytimes i post something apparantly its wrong , im 16 give me a break im not old and wise)

[steelvenom2003]

@AudriAndIzzy Ghostrider is much older than this. Evel Knievel just opened a couple years ago. Plus they were made by different companies. The only real similarity is that they're both made of wood. :)

[GJdude8612]

@AudriAndIzzy No they're very different

[cptfernando]

this ride looks week ass hell

[IndianaSPEED]

This is what a wooden coaster should be. Tight, blind turns, great sense of speed, smooth, head-choppers, and lots of airtime. I can't stand woodies like the Boss (also at Six Flags St.Louis) that are designed like non-inverted steel coasters. This is my 2nd favorite coaster at Six Flags St.Louis.

[seychelle1]

@IndianaSPEED It's my favorite coaster at Six Flags STL XD I didn't like the Boss at all...

[sarcasticasian]

dangg that ride reminds me of the renegade at valleyfair(MN). both of them run super fast at a continuous speed.

[VVolfmast3r]

I was scared to ride it, but when I got on it was awesome!!

[vitejose]

It's like a mini-Boss!

[nintenrama]

This was my first ever roller coaster ride. The first drop made me scream like crazy but by the end I loved it

[Johnniet617]

I <3 GCI!!!

[MrJakeI1]

I heart this roller coaster.

[rsrunescapescammer]

this is the smoothest woodie ever.

[rizash]

wow, short ride, but looks fun

[MinkyBoodle44]

i'm really excited, because i'm going on a band trip here really soon, and i want to ride this really bad. it will be my first GCI!

[gameplayer951]

WOW that looks fun!

[JakeDragon104]

@gameplayer951 it is i sat in front :) EPIC RIDE!!

[sebring31482]

I LOVE KNIEVEL! This was my first GCI.. we drove 6 hours to get to Six Flags STL.. this coaster made it totally worth it! I love the insane speed, the double down, the comfy Millennium Flyer trains.. aaahgfdhgsdfjkh!! <3

[chimayai]

wow...like the Kemah Boardwalk coaster: smaller but just as intense. Nice upload.

[coasterboy600]

it might be smal but this ride is really fast..........REALLY fast

[MeganTheHobo]

this looks like it will hurt your head...a lot

[narutokun645]

its super smooth i had a major headache when i went there(didnt eat for 8 hours just unlimited soda since 1st day of souvenir cup) and this woke me UP x)

[CCprod422]

<3!

[FRANKLINNATOR09]

LOl this ride look so much fun

[GZilla2010]

@FRANKLINNATOR09 It IS. ive experiencened it.

[Dstock8106]

@FRANKLINNATOR09 It's not to much fun. I went there in may 2010 and rode it like 5 times, after the first time it just got repettitve, but my girlfriend loved it :l

[blackgeco01]

@FRANKLINNATOR09  it is

[lolbeansproductions]

listen after they go down the chain. i swear i hear someone shout MEDIC!. sounds like something off teamfortress 2 :)

[MrUtubeHelp]

wow this looks fun!

[xtremespeed128]

Has CF been to Power Park since 2006? is there a Thunderbird POV?

[Daytonawinner]

Great quality pov iv'e been wating for a good one because i have never been on this ride

[NewProductions]

Looks like a great ride.

[Thrillridefan]

Now THAT! is what I call continuous speed!

[WinningerProductions]

this is where intamin ag changed woodies for the better!

[danceshock14]

I love Intamin AG too, they're smooth and fast as hell, but this is a GCI coaster, which is also smooth and fast as hell lol. Not hammering on you, just educating.

[WinningerProductions]

i feel stupid i got it confused with american eagle lol which is the 1st ever intamin woodie lol

[danceblast15]

yeah I confuse companies too. Like Arrow Dynamics and Vekoma I mix up all the time. So many... =P

[rollercoasteraddict3]

u were in st louis today! i live there the boss rulz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EastCoasterGeneral]

No, I was at Kennywood last night & I was in St. Louis this summer.

[persianking44]

So which is better, Terminator or Evel?

[EastCoasterGeneral]

That's a tough one, but I give Terminator the edge due to the tunnels & the station fly-by. The audio system is also an added bonus.

[persianking44]

True, all that does give Terminator an overall better experience.

[sixflagsridesop]

definantly Evel, terminator dosn't really have drops

[chitownkid21]

wow it does not lose speed at all throughout the ride. it looks intense. can't wait to go there next summer.

[sixflagsridesop]

i love this coaster i rode it 8 times yesterday before i started work

[GoddnomProuductions]

lol i was just there! that ride isnt that bad, but not very good in my opinion

[pillsburidohboi]

good vid

[TurboIceX]

All that's missing is a ramp and some buses, haha.

[acquaz10]

great pov i've been waiting for an actual good one for a while now. THANKS. and haha to the people who say first.
