  • ive benn on dat it makes ur stomach fell weird its fun

  • that sucks el dorado is gone but i'm ready for the new ride next year the windseeker can't wait

  • they just announced their going to remove thisride for the windseeker in 2012.

  • According to screamscape, the ride was imported from Geauga Lake. I seriously doubt it was ever called Superman Tower of Power. It's not a tower-type ride.

    There was a ride at Six Flags Kentucky called Superman Tower of Power that cut of a girl's foot, but it was a totally different type of ride.

    Unless you have direct evidence that this ride hurt someone, such as a web site with an article about it, you should remove your annotation.

  • Your annotation is wrong, this wasn't the superman tower of power.

  • its being removed at the end of the 2011 seson.

  • This ride is cool, but does anyone know the reason why Hypersonic XLC was demolished?

  • i feel srry for that girl

  • I'm thinking that this ride was at Geauga Lake. I think it was called 1001 knights or something like that. It's not that exciting, mainly because the parks tame it down. But, it is pretty high, but that's about it. It was probably cleaned up and re-themed, because the one at Geauga Lake wasn't in that great of shape.

  • @brimancandy NOPE IT WAS ELDORADO SAME NAME LOL at least...

  • the one at six flags iz way better!

  • I hate this ride it makes me feel like im gonna pass out and puke at the same time

  • These rides are fun!!! They used to have one at Kennywood called Magic Carpet, but they got rid of it by the time I was tall enough to ride it :(

  • wow! this looks fine

  • wait. did this replace the drive in eating place that was near hypersonic XLC(when that was there)?

  • I love this rofl!!!

  • Not to be racist but some Arabian guy got and he screamed weirdly

  • This ride is fun, but a bit tame compared to all their other 'thrill rides'. I did enjoy it though. I went on it twice at night, and it stops at the top for a while, and at night, from the top, you can get a really pretty view of the park. :)

  • Ah man I'm so glad another park got this ride. I thought it got scrapped after Geauga closed down. This ride was originally a flying carpet ride named The Mirage and it sat over near the Casino and Black Widow, before being torn down and rethemed, and relocated on the other side of Big Dipper. Then of course it was torn down when GL closed, and I guess it ended up here. :D

  • this is gay...the merry go round is more exciting than this

  • Me and my friend got stuck at the top and she freaked out

  • this is very very similar to the ride at Six flags kentucky kingdom and other parks that got shut down/taken out becuase they were marked as unsafe and caused deaths.

  • I like the Berserkir waaaaaaaaaaaaay better

  • where is this ride at?

  • @pattygrimaldo1515 at kings dominion in doswell virginia. its a awesome park and it has a 305 ft. giga coaster called Intiminator 305. its one of the only giga coaster in america. the other one located at Cedar Point.

  • omfg this was at geauga lake! this is better than intimidator and millenium forest, trust me it much better

  • mayne turn that gay ass music off jeez im not gonna touch this ride within a 80 foot pole cuz imma look realy gay on it and probably turn into a woman

  • seriously this is in 3rd place for my fav rides there. first intimidator, then dominator, then this! its so freaking relaxing

  • this is just like a baby Berserker... it should be in the family ride section :)

  • A ride formally known as 1001 NACHT was stripped of it's beauty and lights and backboard.... Clever Idea for it though, needs more Pizzaz decor wise

  • Comment removed

  • what a pathetic ride, lol the kind at the carnivals are better than this, ill stick with waiting for the Intimidator

  • i want to ride that

  • second, can't wait for intimidator to open up. that ride looks like it's gonna be fun.

    no inversions though : (

  • @ChefAid87 yah, but its 305 feet! its even better then there air powered coaster in 2007 or 2008...

  • dont get me wrong. the intimidator looks abadass. have you seen the miniature at the entrance to the park?

    and you are thinking hypersonic. it got shut down in '07. shame cause it was a fun ride for its kind at KD.

  • @ChefAid87 it got shut down!!! are u serious? that was one of my favorite coasters there!

  • @ChefAid87 why it get shut down? i really wanted to ride but as soon as i was tall enough it went bye bye

  • @ChefAid87 Hey why did the Hypersonic shut down ?

    

  • @RamRod771 18 people were killed  when it derailed and the train smashed into a game booth below. The ride was dismantled in the following off-season and sold to a carnival in Europe where it's now on tour.

  • @LakeCharlesGuy o wow, terrible to hear!!.. we normally go down before starting back to school, but since me an my siblings graduated and came back they taken it down,.. thanks for the info :( Prayers to the Families

  • @LakeCharlesGuy Are you saying Hypersonic killed 18 people? Please send me a link to a news story that says that. I just googled it, and there was nothing I could find that mentioned a specific accident on Hypersonic. The ride had frequent downtime, which is likely why it was removed.

  • i was there on halloween day 2 weekends ago. that ride looks like it's been there as long as the shockwave.

    plus, it acts like it's been there just as long, breaking down twice on the same day.

  • @ChefAid87

    Ha ha yeah, at Geauga Lake after it was rethemed it operated for like two days and then broke down, and stayed that way for a few years and then one season they got it up and running, but at a slower speed (from watching this video it's still at the slower speed). When it was Mirage it didn't break down much and went faster. Even after they got it back up it was still somewhat unreliable.

  • Seems like a pretty long ride cycle.

  • Yeah it's a good way to kill time.

  • They have this posted as a high thrill ride... my 7 year old (who is apparently too small) would find this ride boring...

  • Yeah Kings Dominion always over hypes their rides.

  • wow. that thing is at Busch Gardens...

  • Oh really?

  • umm see i did a stupid thing by posting the comment before i viewed the whole video but the one at busch gardens isnt exactly the same just similar .

  • @mizzizfresh yeah its called the phoinex its wayyy bettter its like a ship but it takes u upside downnn its sooo fun!!!

  • @mizzizfresh no it isnt. the battering ram is at busch

  • @thatweirdchickk42 thank you

  • No what replaces the hypersonic is the intimidater. look it up on youtube. btter then the hypersonic

  • wrong spot i305 is behind anaconda this and hypersonic are both in between both grizzly and hurler i think if we get a new coaster there it will be less then 2000 feet

  • dude that thing stayed at the top for like 10 mins. lol.. and i'm going to the KD in VA tomorrow :)

  • lol this ride sucked

  • Same name as when it was at Geauga Lake

  • i thought it was crappy too, but it was actuallly really awesome! :D

  • I thought falling star rides where suppose to give you air time, this looks like it gives you nothing.

  • Comment removed

  • That was at Geauga Lake!!!!

  • OMFG!!!!

  • And so was that Americana thing. =[ Btw, where is Kings Dominion?

  • Virginia

  • I miss Geauga Lake :-(

  • Hopefully the ride seems faster when you are actually on it. I'm going later this month and I plan on going on this ride. If they have a Speed Controller for this ride then I will ask them if they can turn up the speed.(Hopefully they do, so the ride can go faster!)

  • it doesnt go faster its boring

  • Comment removed

  • I was there on April 4th. i thought i saw me and my dad on that ride. I was scared like crazy when the ride stopped at the top for 8 seconds. I thought it was stuck!

  • i was scared to get on this ride

    but its not scary

    it just give u a better view of all the rides

  • we have one of these at our fair 1001 knots

  • I don't see how it's not for kids........It looks so slow and soothing lol, but I guess its not like that when you get on it.

  • ttrust me it is for kids its not fast at all

  • xD this ride is fun.

  • i agree this is not for kids its really fun i was at busch gardens and rode di vincis cradle my butt flew up!

  • What do you mean your butt flew up? It has wings?

  • i mean it went so fast going up my butt flew up get it?

  • You mean airtime?

  • yea

  • this ride is NOT for little kids.... its like the Da Vinci's Cradle at Busch Gardens but MUCH bigger... its a lot of fun!

  • What do you mean it's not for little kids? That's whose normally on the ride...

  • whatev.... i still like it :)

  • but its like rainbow in liseberg in sweden..

  • isnt that like the berserker??

    looks kinda boring;/ but im still gonna ride it haha

  • It's not like Berserker.

  • a kid version of berserker?? haha cuz they both like go back and forth and stuff....but this ones slower

  • Touche Turtle's Clipper is more of a kiddie Berserker.

  • oh..haha is that in kings dominions? I WANNA GO ON IT!!!

  • It's only for little kids. I used to ride it when I was little.

  • that ride seems wack!!!!!

  • You could build a better one?

  • Yes i could if it was my ride i would have the car part turning clock wise while having the car part flip at the same time and then while its upside down i would have the people sprayed with water, and yea that seems better doesn't it

  • I didn't ask if you had a better idea, I asked if you could BUILD a better one.

  • Wow! Back at Geauga lake it went a few times around each time and was much faster!! There goes cedar fair neutering their rides again!!

  • this looks like it should be for little kids.

  • wow that actually looks kinda cool, i bet half the people that said its boring have never ridin it though.

  • Yeah. It's not really that thrilling, but it is fun.

  • that's it?! i thought it would be like it flips you. but that's dumb, i don't like it. waste of space. makes me mad. they could have made something a hella better.

  • They could? Cedar Fair is in debt!

  • Oh, well still something less boring.

  • Have you even ridden it? Please say yes, because it's not good to judge something before you've ridden it.

  • i have rode something just like it, but it's not bad, just that it has no thrill so things like that bore me.

  • that looks so boring

  • Sad to see even more woods from around the Grizzly get torn down! Grizzly has not seen the same since they built the Hurler, then the stupid sky flyer, then hypersonic, and then now this thing

  • er , looks kinda boring , How high does it go ?

  • 85 feet.

  • HEYYY!!! that was me running the ride lol.

  • Really?

  • this ride looks AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's fun, it's a good one for families to ride together. When my little cousins come stay with us this summer, I'm sure they'll love it.

  • =D i want to ride it!

  • i look at these rides all the time and think there r no thrill or fun tell me is it

  • im gonig for my first time sunday and IM SO EXCIIIED!!!!!!!!!!!!1 WISH ME LUCHLOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  • its simple math... Hypersonic > El Dorado

  • im going there tomorrow, may 16 09, for the chrous festival. so if anyone goes im in the anthony burns group

  • im going there too! are u going to ride dominator! i am!

  • wackk ass helll

  • stupid....stupid....stupid

  • If you want to see stupid you should see the ferris wheel. If you where brave enough to ride it this ride would freak you out.

  • it should have over the shoulder restraints and the limo should like flip around.

  • which kings dominion??

  • There is only one Kings Dominion. Now there is Kings Island in Ohio.

  • both of which are good parks, although im biased to KI cuz its my hometown parkand ive ridden all the rides at leats once, including diamondback, which i rode twice :)

  • Most likely it came from Geauga Lake in Ohio. That ride always impressed me. It was not included in the auction, now I see why. I believe it is a Weber.

  • Better than Americana.

  • The Black Squid would have fit perfectly where Americana is. The Americana should have gone to Canada's Wonderand or Califonia's Great America.

  • The Black Squid was too broken to build. That's too bad.

  • Well Americana should have gone to CGA. El Dorado is still better than Americana will ever be.

  • El Dorado is alot more fun and safer than Americana.

  • How so?

  • El Dorado is not a misplaced ferris wheel that lets you off 1 hour after you get on. Plus El Dorado is actually thrilling.

  • El Dorado actually goes faster than 2 mph. The ferris wheel is like an hour ride, it is really a waste of time to ride. The only reason I am happy with it is that it makes the park more appealing to 5 year olds (I alaways have to take my stupid cousin or not go at all).

  • Not saying it isnt a good fun ride but they shouldve added a ride like Apollo's Swing and instead of the Americana something like Enterprise...some real thrill..

  • They are saving their money for a new coaster in 2010. Plus Skyhawk in Cedar Point is better than Apollo's Swing.

  • no, Cedar Fair gave them these new rides. They can't say "NO!" because CF owns them

  • r u serious? they r actually saving money for a new coaster in 2010? I really hope so.

  • We are getting a coaster in 2010, screamscape confirmed it. The type and name are unknown at this point. I emailed KD to say if they could give me more details, but I doubt they will. If I hear anything else I will be sure and let you know,

  • thats exciting to know. I LOVE kings dominion!

  • Me too, it is truly a world class park

  • all the previous paramount parks are world class...too bad all the ride names that were movie names had to be changed when cedar fair bought them all cuz cedar fair didn't wanna pay copyright...

  • Paramount makes good theming, Cedar Fair makes good rides. I like rides better than theming.

  • ya, but theming is still cool, and cedar fair has pulled off some good theming (top thrill dragster) in the past

  • Yeah, but like with Dominator at KD. It has absolutely no theming at all. It is such an awesome coaster, no one minds it all.

  • what?

  • Dominator, the newest coaster at KIngs Dominion has no theming, but it is still very popular, because it is a great ride.

  • Ha! You admit newer kd lacks themeing!!!!

  • Kd lacks theming? What? Think about Volcano, The Crypt, Flight of Fear, Avalanche, Grizzly, etc etc. Wow, like I said eflynn, you sound dumber and dumber as you go.

  • see it only has good themeing cus of being ex paremount. If it started as a cederfair park it would just have coasters with lots of loops. and you always complain about darien lake's "lack of themeing" yet you said you don't care about it as much as a great ride. So stop being a hypocrite.

  • Dominator is better than anything at Darien Lake.

  • Well II think RoS is better[not saying dominator is bad, just not as good] Has it stayed in the top 25 coaster since it's opening like RoS has done for 10 years?

    Nope, so I'm just saying the voters agree with me. In fact I think no other ride at KD has done that well. And for those who call Motocoaster a kiddie coaster, no it's a family coaster. It's fun and a great coaster for the whole family. IK it's not no hyper coaster but it's still fun.

  • Dominator, Volcano and Flight of Fear are all better than anything A DL. Ok so what RoS is their only good ride but its still not worth going to. The Backlot Stunt Coaster is better than Motocoaster. Going to DL the first time was a BIG mistake. RoS at Six Flags New England is way better than RoS at Darien Lake. Millennium Force is waaayyy better.

  • ok, no da ros at sf new england is better becaues it's a WAY different layout. So fuck off.

  • RoS at Darien Lake sucks (along with all the other kiddie rides they call coasters).

  • Wait. Dominator is a great ride with no theming, Darien Lake has bad rides with no theming and many other rides at KD make up for Dommy's lack. Knotts Berry Farm and Cedar Point which are both long time Cedar Fair parks are constantly in the top twenty in attendance. That proves your theory bout Cedar Fair is wrong.

  • ok really, the with what the park has to work with it does a great jobs. All the rides are fun and go suck a cock and do your Effie tower up the ass.

  • Why are you inferring I am gay? Are you really that classless of a bitch. I am not gay, and you are the most uninformed person I have ever talked to. You comment made no sense.

  • Can you stop polluting my video with asinine comments please?

  • Can you stop telling me what to do please? also, check out screamscape

  • That's not where the coaster is going...

  • Where is it going then? Dont you find it odd they locked all the documents after screamscape posted that?

  • I heard from a pretty good source that the station will be next to El Dorado.

  • You think maybe XLC's old station?

  • No, somebody's been commissioned to build another one already.

  • Oh, you saw that "Brad" kid on those forums. Clint told my friend kd builds most of the queues (rails, etc.) in house, so whoever that is probably a lier.

  • He's not a liar.

  • Do you know him personally? How do you know who he is? Is he the same person who was on kfdansite? If so, then he is definitely a lier

  • I do know him personally.

  • Is it Brad from kdfansite? Like I said, if it is, he is lying to get the fame. Nothing more, nothing less.

  • Also rides such as Avalanche, Anaconda, and Grizzly were built before Paramount took over KD and have great theming AND ever since CF took over FearFest it is been much better with new mazes.

  • Riptide at Knotts has theming

    All of Worlds of Fun has theming

    Disaster Transport at Cedar Point has theming

    And you say CF parks have no theming.

  • hey person whos going on the 25 4 a band trip im going on that same day with some friends 4 my bday r u high skool or younger because it is boaring if ur not in a goup of people

  • hey rebnelchick1995 and our family were on it

  • Watch at the end of the video, I spun around so you could see where it was. :D

  • oh. i didnt see the end. thanx!! :)

  • Kings Dominion (it says it in the title)

  • Oh sweet! I'm visiting next week and I can't wait!! :D

  • This ride sucks you into the center, and you feel just a slight bit of weightlessness at the top.

  • Ooooh, niiice! Can't wait. :D

  • This looks like a wack version of the Berserker,
