The rollercoaster is not new, it just has new paint and new trains that have restraints that dont play pinball with your head. Still a welcome change that makes one of the world's worst rollercoasters enjoyable.

[@ItsSiebay]

Rode it yesterday and it’s only about 10% less painful. I’ll give them credit for the other ride upgrades. They were actually pretty good.

[@lizardboy2089]

It’s not a completely new coaster joy, it’s just an old one with new and improved trains.

[@pollutingpenguin2146]

The fact that they can slap some new paint on and give it some new trains and then call this old piece of crap a new ride is an insult.

[@overbanked]

The ride formerly known as Mind Eraser AKA GhettoGeist looks alot better now!

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

0:11 factually incorrect, it is NOT “new” it has been in the park since the 90’s

[@Byrdo_]

Love them cutting away to the off ride footage whenever they get to the really rough head shaky parts of the ride. 😅

[@trapnews40]

LMAOOOO i peeped that too

[@RollerCoasterPsycho]

When well we get an actual real ride lol

[@trapnews40]

literally.. we need a fury 325 as long we waiting

[@jamespinkney189]

Love the clickbait lol, they clearly aren’t serious about investing new rides at this park.

[@iconnickt.v2079]

Lmao I felt the pain thru the screen, SFA desperately needs a new Roller coaster nothing used or “re-imagined”

[@TyrellDunn]

That is not a new roller coaster. It’s a newly re-themed roller coaster with new restraints to make it better than before. She done messed this up

[@michaezell4607]

This is actually a 30 year old roller coaster which opened in 1995 under the name of Mind Eraser. It was repainted 10 years ago from the original teal blue track and red supports to yellow track and red supports currently shown here.

[@darkridedan1]

Obviously Mind Eraser was built wrong with all the shaking going on. New harnesses won’t fix that.

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

Incorrect on all accounts, I sentence you to actually do research before posting.

[@darkridedan1]

@@Yikes_its_Psychs lemme guess, you’re voting for Biden? Like you can see the shaking going on with your own eyes. Not even other SLC’s do that. This is the worst standing SLC and it’s commonly ranked as one of the worst coasters standing, while coasters like Great Nor’easter are praised. Your attempt at doing PR for this coaster has failed.

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

@darkridedan1 no, I dont vote for people who are mentally unfit to rule the nation (RFK is the only halfway decent option). Btw, every single coaster shakes, yes even B&Ms. If it was "built all wrong" it would've destroyed itself and would never be allowed to operate with guests on it. New harnesses actually do fix 99% of the "headbanging", because your head isn't right beside a hard foam restraint with a metal bar running through it. Not to mention they also did slight retracking, which you can see just as clearly as the slight shaking of the train. Oh, and great job staying on topic. This video is about roller coasters. It's not political in any way, yet you felt the need to drag politics in here when it plays absolutely no role in the current subject matter, roller coasters. I'm guessing you didn't pass English classes with good grades (since keeping on topic is hard for you).

[@uptdc2008]

@@darkridedan1 wtf does Biden or any government official have to do with this!?! smh lol

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

0:09 you know better. It’s their very OLD MindEraser with new trains, new paint, and a little bit of new track. It’s like you didn't even try to read the press release 3 months ago.

[@connerrobertson8287]

Literally when are we going to get a new roller coaster? This Park is screaming for a new roller coaster or at least I think what they should do is turn the roar into a hypercoaster and add 20 more feet too it. It just sucks to hear other six flags parks get new rides year after year. While this six flags hasn't gotten a new roller coaster in like years it's not fair.

[@michaezell4607]

Where is the guy from theme park review who said he would make his daughter ride?

[@coasterpath]

This is new?

[@Lettuce2.]

our last coaster was a spinning wild mouse in 2014, our last thrill coaster was a relocation after an 11 year gap. stop complaining and just let us have this

[@spoiledbabieuwu4980]

It’s not new it’s a reimagined ride.

[@uptdc2008]

That roller coaster is not new lol

[@connerford5918]

It's fuckin mind eraser
