Apparently Sansei's archives show that Fuji Q Highland's Giant Coaster was actually 25 meters tall instead of 40. Apparently the 40 meters stat came from the altitude instead of the height. This came from a Parkvault article that came out shortly after my video did. The information in this video was based on what information was publically available at the time.

People are falling down the roller coaster and they are falling for 2829272927 feet and they died in 1910 and they were alive again in 2021 but they didn't have any children in the ride but THEY WAS SRCAMING TO DEATH

[@peytonador9324]

@@imverypoorlmao8068 Goliath never set the height record.

[@saviourscorpius]

@@imverypoorlmao8068 Goliath is pretty high (in my opinion, i rode it and it felt like i was going up the chainlift forever) but it was still far from setting a record. Goliath came out Feb 11, 2000, and it's 255 ft, while Millennium Force was 310 ft (if you want to count Superman, then thats 415 ft tall, but Goliath is complete circuit) which is a 55 foot difference. Wasn't gonna set any height records, but still high enough if you don't want to ride Millennium Force and Superman. Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka are very high; a good majority of people who want to ride a "really high" coaster won't want to ride those, I'd assume

[@Mythyval]

@@saviourscorpius Millennium Force didn't open until May 2000. However, Fujiyama's height is listed as 259 ft, so I don't think Goliath broke the height record, but it might have broke the drop record.

[@lunapetunia3778]

You'd love it but only if you can afford the express line pass. Otherwise, the lanes are so long that its not worth it imo. It is the best amusement park ive ever been to but you absolutely need express lane pass. Top Thrill Dragster while technically being shorter and slower than Kingda Ka, was much more intimidating imo given its theme, music and whole dragster start up. It is really a one of a kind coaster experience that you cannot imagine until you try it yourself. The only bad part is that it ends in like 15 seconds lol... But those moments waiting up until those 15 seconds are anxiety enducing. Kingda Ka felt was like a huge blast into into space but its longer track, slower acceleration and lack of an intimidating theme made it feel null.

I recommend visiting Cedar Point, which can be part of an excellent, week-long drive around Lake Erie. (Cleveland Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame & excellent, free art museum, Cedar Point, Shakespeare fest in Stratford, Canada, Niagara Falls, then back to Cleveland. ) I thought a coaster in Primm, Nevada (On the CA border in between L.A. & Vegas) "Desperado" was at one time the world's tallest.

14:37 I saw the Vortex many times, but only from a distance. I was too young to go on that intense of a ride at the time. The biggest King's Island coaster I ever went on was the tried-and-true classic, The Racer. 16:34 I went on the Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point in 2002. 21:08 Ditto for the Millennium Force. I agree with those who rate it as one of the greatest coasters of all time. It's certainly the best one I've been on. 23:10 The Top Thrill Dragster was still under construction during my trip to Cedar Point. Perhaps I can ride it on another occasion, though I live far from Ohio, and I'm not as young as I used to be...

i like how you mentioned mindbender since its super iconic but on january 30 2023 it permenantly shut down and was dismantled to make way for new atractions and they are family thrills inside of a big area and i would love for you to talk about it in a video

Me, an European watching this video: ahh yes, those do look quite tall, guess I'll never know how tall for real

[@lunapetunia3778]

Goliath is 200 feet tall.... Cedar Point had already made the Magnum XL a decade ago that was taller than that. Millenium Force is 310ft... What are you talking about?
