  • persoannly one of my favorites in the UK

  • I blinked and missed it :/

  • thankyou for showing me what i missed as i had my eyes closed from the drop to the moment the car stopped moving (:

  • OMG was that really scary?

  • i was shitting myself when i got on this the first time in the middle ON THE FRONT ROW but now i thing it is shit

  • @Jacbo96 it's a real shame it doesn't do anything after the drop.

  • @shufflehugh360 I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy my video.

  • your filmings pretty crappy

  • why is it so short

  • @BANKSYSKNAB LOL, It's illegal and yea well it's stupid. Listen to the park rules and respect it. Ya know there is legal pov's from the theme park itself or from coaster communities that got permission from the park to take a pov. Like Theme Park Review or Coaster Force.

  • @1997BAB LOL hey fucktard! Why are you even watching this shit IF IT SO BAD?? The only reason you are HERE is because someone had the BALLS to let go of the rail and take some footage! Suck it youngster!

  • @missmaroon5thescript , Go on it first before you have chance to think about it and chicken out...you won't regret it:)

  • Awesome

  • @mesmoland: press page and see this video staring right back at you? i don't get it yo

  • @missmaroon5thescript oh fuck up and live your life, go to sif flags in america if you think this is bad

  • @mesmoland i went on oblivion once and it was basically the only ride we went on for the rest of the day i miss oblivion

  • Alton Towers: Skyrim.

  • Hah! Really dumb thing you did taking your camera out on the ride. People like you ruins ride expierances for other people. Look at Dueling Dragons at Universal Studios, people had loose articles with them on the ride WHEN THERE NOT SUPPOSE TO, and things got out of hand and now they cant duel no more thanks to people like you. Come on have some respect for the park.
