Fireball on-ride HD POV Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

This KMG Afterburner is among the most popular attractions at the Boardwalk, like so many of these rotating frisbee/pendulum rides at parks & fairs the world over. It offers out-of-your-seat airtime, similar to many roller coasters, drop towers & screamin' swings, which begs the question: which type of airtime machine do you prefer?
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is located about 75 miles south of San Francisco in Santa Cruz, California.

This ride at Santa Cruz is one of my all time FAVES!! You feel the Gs hardcore, and every time is amazing no matter where you sit. I went on the comparable ride at Great America, and it sucked so bad!! I went on it 4 times in a row sitting in different spots, hoping to get a good ride at least once. No can did. Great America FAIL. So do yourself a favor and ride this in Santa Cruz.

[@jahsehonfrey545]

I've been on that one. It is called the deliruim I believe. Or maybe switched letters around. Anyway, that ride was only scary when I forgot my shoes were still on about to fall off.

I came from the Cumberland County Fair today and NEVER THOUGHT about going on this ride. The Cumberland County Fair's version of this ride was "The Beast".

[@Willbs21]

They replaced all the lights on the ride and most on the boardwalk with LEDs. I know its more eco-friendly and cost effective, but I dont think anything can replace those bulbs that they used to have everywhere. Those just feel more carnival-esque. Its obviously a very small change, but one that made a big impact for me.

This past Wednesday, July 2c6, 2017, one person died and five more were injured, some critically, when this ride malfunctioned. It happened at the opening day of the Ohio State Fair. On the way down from one of its swings, it banged the ground causing one section of seats to come dislodged, and on the upswing you see the row of seats fall to the ground and the young 17 year old fall to his death not in a seat. I searched out the ride to see if there was a POV of the Fireball out of curiosity as to how this ride was like. It's on KZbin, the.video taken from someone's cell phone. It saw it reported today on ABC World New tonight and CBS News, so, unfortunately, this is not fake news. I enjoy rides like these, as well as fast coasters, so it's sad to see this.

[@meganenos7777]

Kenny 613 it didn't hit the ground, the ride already had a paper that said one of the rows of seats was cracked/not secure and that it should've been fixed immediately so the row was just loose and fell off. The row never hit the ground before it fell off
