We Rode a Roller Coaster Next to the Burj Khalifa! Coastin' the Desert Ep. 3

[@OfficialHauntExperience]

Love how your uploading these super close to each other so we don't have to wait like a month for another episode!

[@peteryt357]

Fun Fact: Dubai Drone used to be themed to Sonic back when the park was called Sega Republic (I'm not kidding, that park used to be a Sega Themed Park).

The elevator music while being in elevator. Chefs kiss 😁🩷

Some day if Vekoma opens their Top Gun coaster in the US, you HAVE to ride it alongside Tom Cruise...

[@wutduh8697]

Tom Cruise is rude asf though

[@CoasterCheetah]

@@wutduh8697I’ve heard he’s extremely nice

[@nightwoo_]

they should build a coaster ontop of that tower, and add an outerbank that just makes u feel like u are gonna fall off

[@michael7054]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching this! Im really looking forward to the next episide! That coaster was neat! I cant imagine the views from that high up there!

[@michael7054]

Thanks for the heart!

[@johnd551]

Glad you brought Matt along for the trip...he is definitely eye candy!!

[@christianortiz-v1l]

The Burj Khalifa is also home to the tallest private restaurant in the world called Atmosphere

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Cool

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

It reminds me of another restaurant that was in a tower.....

[@detroitdiezel7856]

If it's a private restaurant, how do they make any money?

[@themeparkmagic180]

I hope there is parks in Dubai that will let you film on the rides so that I can see the parks and the rides.

The amount of exposure therapy on your trip is next level and Matt hasn’t even been on the water slide yet.

[@kevinmkay]

Probably the one and only coaster credit I've ever done before you guys! hehe I had a super long layover in Dubai once and came to this mall and then the spice markets. The Dubai Drone used to be themed very differently!

[@wayne_jkl]

Love that you're keeping these videos on the shorter side. Maybe I won't fall behind with watching them all! :)

[@maxhagenauer24]

Is that an apartment building or an office building or a commercial building? That insanely tall building.

[@chrisogrady28]

As is common with every country outside of North America, it's mixed use. Commercial at the bottom, hotels and apartments in the middle, and viewing platform/maintenance at the top

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Dubai Drone looks so futuristic

[@pokemonfanwsbgalt8574]

It is as some guy who rode this 50 times

[@detroitdiezel7856]

I heard a vicious rumor that the new world's tallest skyscraper that they're building @ 5:33 will have an outdoor water ride at the top of it. 😉 Matt should love that! 😜

[@indykirchenbauerracing1709]

[@gabet3514]

Small mistake at 0:29 where it says Episode two and should be three. Just here to help

[@ViewtifulTj]

@3:55 You know you've been watching too much theme park content when you look away, hear the royalty free music, and think you're watching an ElToroRyan video.

[@xd136]

If Dubai can have a Ice skating ring, then I should be able to have a plastic straw!

[@xcoasterenthusiast]

Matt, what do you hate more, water or being within the windows of the Burj Khalifa observatory?

[@Calakapepe]

Matt's got some beef for gerstlauer lol I think they're usually fun! Pandemonium@ st Louis is my 2nd favorite at the park for one example

[@maxhagenauer24]

I'm interested to see where you got that 9 seconds stat from because if that was true and you weren't included air resistance (fall at constant acceloration), that would mean the building is 397 meters tall but google says it's 828 so I don't know how they got 9 seconds. Maybe they don't mean from the very top.

[@MysTaeryColorful]

Thanks for this series, Taylor. As a trans woman, I will probably never be able to go to the UAE unless they change their laws. But it's so cool to see all the amazing attractions and sights in that region! You do a great job showcasing them, and yours and Sarah's commentary are really enjoyable. I've been watching since your early days, and your quality and hosting ability gets better every year!

[@jppurple98]

I literally was getting Vertigo watching lol 😂 I went up in the CN Tower in Canada and that was crazy. This would be a definite no. The zip line in the preview would also be a hard pass

[@drewaj]

How can you have a VR headset experience on a free-spinning coaster? I mean, if the spinning varies from ride to ride, how can that sync up with the video you are watching??

The Burj Khalifa alone makes me want to travel to Dubai, it’s just one of those buildings that has always fascinated me because of its sheer height and look

[@SANITIZEDINC]

Amazing to think how much of that city's construction was built by enslaved people. Horrible, cruel, super disturbing and upsetting but also amazing. It's one of the ways they build so quickly. A great and terrible city to be sure. You're so fortunate to be able to travel so much. Thanks for bringing us with you.

[@CoasterStudios]

[@drdewott9154]

Dang. On my Dubai trip earlier this month I even went into the Dubai Mall and I completely forgot a roller coaster was even there.I completely forgot it was even there ngl, I did know about the parks former name as SEGA Republic and how its spinning coaster once had a pretty impressive Sonic the Hedgehog theme but the retheme of the park and coaster just never really registered much in my mind. We didnt end up seeing much of the mall either, we're not exactly mall lovers in my family. Though we did see the waterfall at 9:08 cause my mom wanted to see what the sign for a waterfall meant. My family and I elected not to go to the top of the Burj Khalifa, just because we were on a budget and didnt mind not being that high up. But also I doubt Dubai will keep growing at the pace it did in the past. Even just in the last 10 years construction and growth has kinda been in a slump. The demand for high end luxury tourism investment and these grandiose megaprojects are drying up. The Palm Jumeirah has been a success but both the World Islands and the larger Palm Jeddah have been massive failures. Not to mention all the canned theme park projects in the region as well. And even besides that, other countries in the region, namely Qatar and especially Saudi Arabia have been trying to take the dwindling number of fish in the pond with their own mega projects, despite the failures seen in the UAE. It all just seems unsustainable, both economically and environmentally. Plus demand is even lower because of the relatively lower human rights in these countries compared to other destinations. I know for example many people are upset at the new Dragon Ball theme park in Saudi Arabia because many Dragon Ball fans are Gay or trans people, or allies of such people, and therefore risk serious criminal prosecution or even death just from entering the country.

Crazy going from 'I couldn't ride the coaster' to 'dying country in the next 10 years' I think someone might be mad about not going on a vr coaster 😂

​@@drdewott9154 ok maybe it was since it was a summary but you still went from "My family and I elected not to go to the top of the Burj Khalifa, just because we were on a budget and didnt mind not being that high up" (just a ordinary trip report) to "I doubt Dubai will keep growing at the pace it did in the past. Even just in the last 10 years construction and growth has kinda been in a slump." (suddenly delving into the decline of dubai's market) no exageration, literally seperated by a paragraph split.

The Burj Khalifa is absolutely bonkers, but the view up there is a bit... meh, if I'm being honest. You can just see the divide between poverty and wealth and it's a bit of a shocking reminder that Dubai was built and continues to be build on slave labour.

Dude you must see the MANSIONS on Jumeirah Islands......AMAZING..... Also you have not commented how CLEAN Dubai is...... Awaiting for my return to the UAE.

[@drdewott9154]

Eh IDK. Ive seen nicer and cleaner. The place didnt really feel that inviting when I went there earlier this month. Some attractions were neat but also very expensive. It really felt like a one and done kinda destination imo. Plus I dont really simp for excessive wealth and mansions. Especially when there's no good daily ammenities nearby and every trip out of the house becomes a chore, as is mostly the case there with the poor walkability and subpar public transit and bike infrastructure.

[@strictlyaesthetic9202]

Finally PLEASE tell me another part of this entire world that is CLEANER ??? ..Are you sure you were in the UAE "Doctor"...Try again ..

[@drdewott9154]

@@strictlyaesthetic9202 IDK I come from a city about half the size of Dubai with many more rail lines, 4 of which are automated and run every 2-3 minutes each. Plus having a better enrwork allowing you to reach anywhere, not just some places. Several attractions are inaccessible by the metro and tram too! And though my home city isn't as clean, I've seen places like Riga, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Nice, and many other European cities that are at the very least as clean as Dubai, whole being much better for quality of life and ease of getting around. Plus I can assure for a fact from what I've been sent from friends that Vienna in Austria, basically all of Switzerland, as well as Tokyo and Osaka in Japan also all beat Dubai by a landslide. I wouldn't be surprised if the same applies to several Chinese cities, given what I've seen of them on off hand accounts.
