Incredicoaster Pros & Cons - Disney California Adventure Park Launched Looping Coaster

[@MagicalBread]

Pro - it’s a mild thrill ride for families con - it’s a mild thrill ride for families

[@ArborealTiger]

It may not be super intense or impressive, but this coaster will always hold a special place in my heart. Back when it was California Screamin' it was my first inversion ever, and probably the biggest milestone for me on my way to becoming a proper enthusiast.

[@nio8655]

Fax yo it made me the coaster enthusiast i am today

[@DariusMakesContent]

It was also my first inversion

[@bigboi-gx1xf]

Yeah it so fun

[@MeanMachine4844]

Touche. The first time I went on that loop my head just got pulled down as I felt those positive g forces, it was really intense and awesome for 5 year old me.

[@Ang3lUki]

It's a gentle giant. Perfect for a kid's themed park. It's right at home. I get why some coaster enthusiasts find it boring, but it's a perfect first big steelie for kids. It was my first inversion too, and I credit the smooth, gentle ride for getting me comfy with big coasters.

[@nathanlamoreaux1272]

I agree that the most impressive aspect of this coaster is its operations. Part of the reason they can dispatch so quickly is the easy and simple restraint system that is extremely accommodating, and that guests take their loose articles and bags on the ride with them. I think that's part of the reason the trains are so "boxy" and clunky, so that guests' bags will stay inside. If they put new gen Intamin trains on it, like Velocicoaster, guests would need to use lockers which is definitely not Disney's style of doing things.

[@HandsomeRob2008]

Great point!

[@MattMcIrvin]

You know, the thing I like about this channel is that for an extremely experienced coaster enthusiast, you're not gatekeep-y or contemptuous about the "GP", and this review is an example of that--respect for a coaster that was clearly not built primarily to impress coaster enthusiasts.

[@SkyrushFanboy]

@@thrillshaveabeard I'll say it for the thousandth time, skyrush restraints are not bad in any way

[@thrillshaveabeard]

@@SkyrushFanboy If they don't bother you, that's great. They destroy my thighs. It really makes me dislike it. Especially since Intamin has one of my favorites, with their T bars

[@ryanb9749]

I can't enjoy this ride because the restraints are painful. Lol and I like SLCs...

[@stephaniewinters2156]

I THINK THE POINTS YOU HAVE. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS RIDE BEFORE AND IT WAS A BLAST! IT WAS MY FIRST COASTER I HAVE EVER BEEN ON WITH A LOOP AND I THINK THE STORYLINE AND EVERYTHING YOU HAD IN THAT POINT WAS GREAT.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's incredible how fast this line moves even on the busiest of days.

[@colesand3802]

Let me add another pro here: NIGHT RIDE! This night ride makes it a top five ride in the resort. But I have it overall just outside my top ten rides in both parks combined.

[@birdlad]

I rode this for the first time last month, got two rides near the back of the train. As a coaster enthusiast I was delighted. As a Disney fan, I was thrilled. But as a musician, I was absolutely floored. The soundtrack to the ride fits perfectly, and was my favorite part of the whole experience!

[@thrillshaveabeard]

"I wish more parks would focus on capacity" "What's that?!? 🤷" -Cedar Fair

[@usablefiber]

Why six flags great adventure chose to add an expensive low capacity single row rail ride in such a busy park is beyond me

[@coolbean259]

@@usablefiber, not expensive and more of a mid capacity ride right next to two people eater b and ms

[@DoswarePictures]

The T-Rex has not yet been perfected and they needed to add something to SFGAD.

[@ItsSiebay]

To be fair, Cedar Fair does focus on adding rides with a higher throughput, like B&Ms. Especially with their more popular parks. Six Flags however is the leading definition of Low Capacity these days.

[@TheWarrior949]

@@ItsSiebay exactly. Not sure why he’s harping on Cedar Fair of all places, they love high capacity B&M’s just like you said.

[@benwinegarner4797]

I worked at Disneyland when they built and opened DCA. A week before they opened the park they asked for all cast members to come test the coaster. So I got to marathon it for close to 40 mins without the need of getting off. Me and a bunch of other fellow cast members who are enthusiasts went and had a blast.

[@DoswarePictures]

Second best opening day ride.

[@JavaCake]

@@DoswarePicturesBehind Soarin’, I’d assume.

[@DoswarePictures]

[@BartendingAndBaseball]

Pro #8 for me personally is the inseparable emotional attachment I have to this ride. I don’t ever think I will stop enjoying this ride even though I’ve enjoyed faster and more airtime filled machines. It just holds that place in my heart because it opened the door to intensity for me in such an enjoyable way

[@LightTheBeammm]

It was the coaster that made me love coasters

[@timjacoboski751]

Airtime Thrills uploads single handedly make boring days, like today in my case, 100% better. Keep up the awesome vids dude!

[@devdevthrills]

While not an intense coaster, definitely one I have the most fun on. Just a classic at this point

[@Benny-hd7tz]

This is ironic timing, I'll (hopefully) be on it this weekend

[@aidenthecrane2893]

It was my first looping coaster, and it was really fun imo, still is. I also personally don't find the loop that bad, and the restraints are bearable, except on the break run. Every time I hit the brake run, my chest gets slammed into the hard plastic and it hurts, I have to brace for it. Still don't like the restraints much, but I'll deal with it. Overall, really fun ride, but definitely could've gotten a few fixes for the layout and trains, but nice to have at a Disney park. 8/10 for disney

[@beachboysswiftie]

This was my very first coaster with an inversion. I rode it when I was 8 back when it was still california screamin’. I remember being so scared to ride it because of the loop, but once I did it I absolutely loved it (and rode it like 50 times single rider that day lol)

[@coasterslides]

My first inversion: Vertical Loop on (then) California Scremin' My younger brother's first inversion: Top Gun Stall on Twisted Colossus (he liked Incredicoaster better) You are right about that loop being very rough.

[@HandsomeRob2008]

Incredicoaster is a lot of fun! Sure it’s not the most intense for us hardcore thoosies but it’s a great family ride. It’s cool this loop will be the first loop for a lot of kids getting into the coaster adventures. I can’t wait until my nephew and niece get older so I can take them on this first their first loop. Fun fact that you didn’t mention in your video… this is the longest roller coaster featuring an inversion in the world. Not many people know this fact. Thx for the video! I agree with everything you say. Operations are on point! 😊

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

I was on Mystic Timbers when this launched

[@nirvanacow6437]

It’s crazy just think there’s always someone on a roller coaster

[@showtimenick824]

Dash counting down the launch is so dope!!!! What would also be totally awesome, this is something I will definitely use in future videos of my own, at the end, we get a "That was totally wicked!!!"

[@reptidan]

I LOVE the way the trains look!

[@frankyworldwide]

This is a great coaster. Hopefully they can remove the OTSR one day. The operations definitely add to how enjoyable it is.

[@bryaneisenhart]

I got to ride California Screamin before DCA opened to the public back in December of 2000. Great ride.

[@brandonwinchester4564]

When I first rode incredicoaster/screamin' I don't know if I ever would have gone on it without OTSR, but now I want it so badly. That drop off the second lift yoinks you in the back seat. That's when I realized I liked airtime on coasters. 😂

[@triplereeds]

I’ve ridden it 11 times, cause we went to Disney a lot. It is a great ride, I think it’s the best at the park

[@brianscorner5772]

Oh man when we went, it states it was a 30 minute wait and the line was all the way out to the main boardwalk. We got on the ride in 15 minutes.

[@ilovesilverbullet]

Rode this today twice, once at the back and the other time in the front. I personally love the trains and the restraints even thought they are the most bulkiest things in the world. The back is an airtime machine but is painfull in the loop, very rough. The front obiously gives you the best view, still good airtime and went throught the loop not as bad in the back. After the first time riding today I was watching trains go through the loop, the loop was super swayey after a train went through it. Still was awesome but the loop definetally needs to be replaced, even thought it is hard to put your hands up with the thicc cars I enjoy the ride. My mom told me I went on California Screamin when I was 4, such an awesome coaster that is very close to me and the retheme was much needed. Can't wait to ride again!

[@maxhagenauer24]

I want to see more of these Intamins rides although that probably won't happen as this is kind of an older style Intamin but it's great for everyone to enjoy. Like a family coaster but obviously more thrilling but the younger audience can ride it too.

[@kurtissmith3409]

Always loved this ride. It's just an overall fun coaster with lots of pros.

[@ThePirateprincess23]

I have been riding Incredicoaster since 2002 (when it was California Screamin and had the Mickey silhouette on it). It probably has one the most comfortable OTSRs that I have experienced and it definitely gives the best pops of airtime on any Disney coaster. It is also one of 2 coasters that I have had the chance to be evacuated from due to technical/weather issues (Goofy's Sky School was the first). The wind was actually blowing strong enough to slow the train I was in to a complete stop on the mid-course break run before the start of the coaster's final act.

[@airtimeforce3382]

I love this roller coaster! It was my first ever looping roller coaster when I was 6 and I’m glad it was an Intamin.

It’s literally the same ride. Chill out

[@DoswarePictures]

@@MagicalBread yeah I guess, but the classic music, great narration by NPH, and that iconic Intamin launch sound are gone.

[@ItsSiebay]

Incredicoaster is overall the better themed experience for a family coaster and we all know it.

[@MrTWINARMAGEDDON]

@@ItsSiebay better themed perhaps but the cheesiness of California Screamin was awesome

[@vedved82491]

The California Screamin’ on-board music was awesome, and it sucks it’s gone.

After my first ride on California Screamin', I actually preferred Mickeys fun Wheel over it. Your first ride on an "out-of-control" ferris wheel is unforgettable 🙃

[@MagicalBread]

That Ferris wheel is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever ridden on. No rollercoaster can match the fear I felt while riding that “fun wheel”.

Great ride experience for me with good airtime. yes the loop is a little jarring. The cookie smell is a nice touch.! I miss California screamin soundtrack ( too much jack jack) on the upgrade. The theming overall is better now.

[@robertofiend1264]

I have only ridden coasters in California. It’s on my top 5 coaster of all time since I haven’t rid a lot of coaster due to the pandemic. It’s a fun ride and I haven’t’ got to experience the loop since 2019. It’s been a while, but hopefully I don’t feel the roughness on that loop.

[@floatercoasters1473]

What is this, Knoebels?

[@joehartman8138]

Can’t wait to ride this in October.

[@alphawinnergx9127]

The train/restraints point is interesting. At my home Disney park, Space mountain was a custom launched Vekoma looper, with hard plastic trains and bulky ots restraints. However, it was overhauled and became Hyperspace mountain, getting a Star wars theme, and new trains, featuring a more open design and vest restraints. The fact that Incredicoaster kept its old trains probably has to do with the manufacturer, because all Disney Intamins, even the most recent ones, seem to have the same restraints.

[@CoriLane3060]

This was my first looping coaster, It was so big to me, and now that I’ve ridden things like X2 and Railblazer this seems like absolutely nothing

[@paraskep5080]

Incredicoaster was also my first looping coaster ever.

[@TheOrange_duck]

This was my first launch coaster if that counts

[@360coasters]

Yeah, i think it was mine too!

[@thekewldude5443]

mine was smiler lmao

[@deezulboy]

Love your videos and liked the Don't Staple Me Bro shirt. I want to buy one but the only problem is you don't offer it in a tank top? I see your other shirt comes in a tank. If you can make a tank top of that shirt available I will most definitely purchase one. Thanks again for all the great vids!

[@glomgold25]

Usually I am pretty onboard with the content, but I mean, I think we can all agree this coaster is the last one deserving of it's own video.

[@JungleJetAviation06]

I think it’s time to get Mack Rides out there to retrack, add new LSM launch system, and add their trains. Between each launch currently sprinklers spray it down. If it can’t cool itself down it’s time for it to go lol.

[@hokyman]

It's likely the trains are the reason the reason the loop is jarring. Though I've ridden this coaster a countless number of times over the last 5 years until Disney ended all AP's (and I moved to WA). I never really noticed any rattle nor felt any discomfort on that loop. I wonder if it's a relatively new thing or if it's just something I never noticed before. Either way, I agree it's a great ride! I love getting on it when I'm at Disneyland Resort. I just rode The Voyage for the first time last weekend (AMAAAAAZING) and I have to say, I never really noticed either the long length of Incredicoaster the same way I noticed Voyage's. I suppose it's because The Voyage is relentless in a way Incredicoaster isn't (and really, shouldn't be given its mainstream appeal).

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

I agree with the video 100% especially about the trains. I wish they would take off some of the plastic/fiberglass, or at least reduce some of it so it feels a bit more roomy (the current trains almost make me feel claustrophobic), and put on the new style intamin otsrs (the over the shoulder lap-bars would be better). Maybe then the loop would throw your head into the restraint....

[@DoswarePictures]

The best coaster built on a parking lot with scream in the name.

Incredicoaster (formally known as California Screamin') has been thrilling riders for 20 years now! But hey, it is still a fun coaster anyway. 👍👍👍👍

[@showtimenick824]

I haven't been to California Disneyland since late 2001. I've driven by a few times from 2014-16 but never actually went inside. I was definitely too young to ride a roller coaster like this when I have gone then. Unfortunately this is not an attraction that exists in Tokyo Disneyland. Funny thing about Tokyo Disneyland is it's not actually in Tokyo, it's in Chiba.

I haven't ridden it as Incredicoaster, but California Screamin' had one of my favorite on ride soundtracks, so I'm not entirely sure how to feel about the renovation... But still a solid ride regardless.

[@JennNofficial]

I love this ride!!!! 🎢🖤❤️

[@Spacemountaineer92]

i think they could have made the coaster a little more intense with some good elements like a barrel roll spin half loop drop down or top gun stall and there are too many mid course break runs/trim breaks to accommodate multiple trains on the track

[@dbfamily9272]

Do prime ride time for SFOT since its your second six flags home park.

[@aaron55890]

Well the shoulder restraints are a little bit unnecessary but with lap bars there is a little bit of a chance that you would at least feel like you are gonna fall off the loop but knowing disney they seem to know everything about safety so the probably added shoulder restraints for extra protection

[@jkattack2640]

better ops would be nice but im glad SF and CF dont focus too hard on capacity. thats why incredicoaster and so many other disney rides have so many MCBRs.

[@thesledgehammerblog]

Disney has never really done thrill coasters, but they get a lot of mileage out of some less thrilling ones. I suspect there are a lot of current and future Enthusiasts for whom this is their first inverted coaster, if for no other reason than the fact that Disneyland gets so many visitors. That said, I still prefer the California Screamin' version, if for no other reason than the soundtrack.

[@colesand3802]

I agree. The amount of talking on the ride is kinda ridiculous. Also, it doesn't help that the screamin soundtrack was the best in the park.

I would love to see Disneyland operators run Six Flags Magic Mountain coasters for a day. It frustrates me to see trains being loaded for seemingly 2-3 minutes every time I go to Magic Mountain. They had 3 trains running on Goliath for literally no benefit.

my first time riding screamin i loved it and i didn’t feel the over the shoulder restraints to feel hard ?

Part of me wonders if they left the over-the-shoulder restraints as something to scare the GP.

[@Hi_Ryyydrums]

Unpopular opinion but I actually like the calming sections in rides that arnt intense, weather or not they were meant to b calming or was just an accident and happend to be a boring part of the ride it's a good chance for people who get sick on rides to recover before getting slammed into the next part of said ride

[@floridamaddogg]

Not being a Disney park fanboy, this ride looks like it may be worth the admission to the park to experience it. This is way off topic, but speaking of California, having just watched The Lost Boys for the 200th time, lol....what is the coaster featured on the boardwalk in the movie? Figured you would probably know.

Some chains don't really care for the capacity because a) you'll need more operators and those cost money and b) if the queues are short, who will buy the fast passes?

[@steveo7771286]

See, it’s weird to me how the two parks I frequent the most, Cedar Point and Hersheypark, seem to have very different results with this. CP sells so many fast lane wristbands it’s not funny, and Hershey hardly seems to sell any, but they do some sizable lines and I would say the operations/ride capacity at both parks are very similar. CP just seems to draw bigger crowds overall, although Hershey’s crowds are nothing to play with. Idk.
