😂 Sarah grabbing taylors hand on the swing! I have to call that my favorite moment ever so far!

[@Mononoke18]

Okay but imagine a Dive coaster that would hold you for like 15 seconds over the mountain that would be insane and maybe with like a 300 ft drop!

[@kingchuckfinley]

I love coasters, but I’m also terrified of heights (walking up to iron Gwazi my knees buckled looking up at the lift hill, legit would have fallen over if there wasn’t a railing) and you guys at the top of the lift hill almost made me throw up. Great work!!!

[@roller-coaster-river]

So nice to see colorado get any coaster love! I went here last year after Defiance opened, Glennwood Caverns os the best colorado amusement park for sure. It packs a punch despite being small. But Elitch Gardens is the one I actually can get to on a regular basis, I wish I could have affprded a weekend trip to Glennwood Caverns this year. So glad you two enjoyed the adventures this park has to offer!

Of course Taylor made Sarah sit on the outside of the swings lol

[@rbebut1]

FUN! MORE FOOTAGE!

[@dominicjannazo7144]

I was there years ago when the only coaster was the alpine coaster. But they still had the swing, absolutely terrifying and/or brilliant location for it.

Yes. The park is on a slope, with the back section being the highest up.

@@chrisogrady28 Also the US is massive and varies greatly all over. Glendwood Springs isn’t a big place so it’s not that surprising to me that they wouldn’t have a vegan option at every restaurant, especially when it’s a restaurant at a small adventure/amusement park.

AAH I LOVE THIS PARK SO MUCHHH I’ve went 3 times now, and love it more and more every time. Love defiance now, as a Coloradan this park is like our main thrill park, because elitch’s is just so boring to me now because I have gone so much.

[@MikeB-_-]

Nice work with the drone!

[@FryGuy909]

I think I was there that day you were doing it. I was by defiance when I saw yall climbing it

[@nancyfarkas3592]

IM afraid of heights. So that park is a nope for me.

[@ryanmcdonnell5988]

I can't believe how shaky Cliffhanger was when I rode it

[@DrPepperone]

Signing a waiver to visit an amusement park is bonkers. Makes it an absolute dealbreaker for me.

[@hastypete2]

No waiver can relieve the park of responsibility for negligence. The waiver is in case the visitor is the cause of injury. It is quite a nice place.

[@m_ianO]

You guys are too young to remember all coasters in the 80’s & 90’s had head padding lol

[@SeaWorldOrlandoandmore]

please correct me if im wrong, but isnt cliff hanger a clone of the indoor coaster at six flags over texas?

[@ernestoalejandrojuradoagui4824]

Did you know that Cliffhanger use to operate as Thunderbolt at the now defunct Celebration City in Branson Missouri ?

[@CoasterStudios]

Yes! Super cool!

[@sdaniel9129]

[@Dalton363]

I love this park and hope they can expand more in the future with more modern coasters

[@JacobVaughn-i1x]

They aren’t a coaster park. They might add one or two more but that’s prob as much room as they have

[@JacobVaughn-i1x]

Unless they do something like a launch coaster what other kind of coaster could they fit here?

[@JacobVaughn-i1x]

A coaster that went down the mountain then launched back up would be cool. Idk how much of the mountain they own. With that elevation they could def do something with a huge drop down the mountain would be sick

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Why are the trains different that's odd

[@joãocésario-s7k]

the mine drop opend ? as i remeber its closed bc of the death of a 6 yeard old gril

[@MrKillerRC]

It reopened in late June this year. After some modifications

[@hastypete2]

Yes and though it does not drop into darkness anymore, it's still fun as hell.

what happened to crystal tower?

[@v0idIess]

Did you ride the crystal tower ride?

[@matthewrobertson95]

Next time you visit England you might want to consider checking out the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. No rides, but you take a cable car to get up to the hilltop park and it has not one but two excellent cave tours. The views are also spectacular as well. 🙂

[@jtbowman132]

Aw I remember watching your all’s live stream here a couple months ago. Time flies :’)

[@coasternut3091]

Do this and Stratosphere tower and you're good

[@EKThrills248]

I rode a clone of cliffhanger in Panama city beach, and it was called hurricane, hurricane is not scary at all, but cliffhanger is on the edge of a cliff so, probably much scarier!

[@dindog22]

is that Cocaine Bear?

Great channel! Thanx for the ride guys! 👍👍👍

Ah yes Thunderbolt... spent much of my teenage years on that coaster. Of course it used to be at (now defunct) Celebration City back then.

This made me laugh, I'm going for my first ever visit tomorrow for Rollercoaster day 2024 (despite living in Denver). Looking for videos to give myself some bearings before my trip and stumbled across this video. Then when watching it you're there last year for Rollercoaster day 2023. What a coincidence.

[@t-san4596]

IS mine drop still there just standing but not operating?

[@hastypete2]

It is there. don't know if it was operating when they visited, but we rode it about 10 times when we went in July. It has been rethemed to "Crystal Cavern" to be more "family friendly" and to distance it from the old version. Fun as hell. They didn't mention it in the video so wonder if it was just closed or if Glenwood Caverns didn't want them to film in it.

[@mikebeisel7174]

Do you know if they are going to open the mine drop because that’s the best drop ride around! I’m sure you asked…

[@maxhagenauer24]

How were you able to climb the lift? Do you contact the park or know people who work there?

[@TestingTesting-tl7pz]

They literally walked with an employee and spoke about how they sort of helped him get the job there… I’m confused.

[@LandinPlays]

the tallest coaster is actually kindaka but still good video.

[@thecoasterhub8848]

Tallest and Highest are different things, I think he means highest from sea level because it is located on the top of a mountain. Kingda Ka is the Tallest coaster from the ground to the top of the top hat

[@lukerisko7601]

Bruh

[@jayminyoel7911]

This coaster is suspended higher than Kingda Ka, but the actual ride height is much shorter.

[@bxnin]

"🤓☝️" said the original commenter

[@64onyx]

Yeah, Taylor probably has no idea what he's talking about. Know your roll and shut your hole

[@jackschissler255]

So that indoor drop ride where that kid died, is it still operating? Or did they close it indefinitely?

[@hastypete2]

Reopened and rethemed. Total closed cage now, the lights are on. Their safety procedures are now over the top. I never rode the original version, but we rode over and over cause it is so fun.
