NOTE: Ghost Galaxy is no longer in operation at Disneyland. The source I used was outdated and still listed the overlay as operational. Also, the scarecrow is no longer in place on Fluch Von Novgorod.

[@newsuperhdgraphic]

right, very not good

[@tauk38]

If you do this video again, you should defo put Thirteen from Alton Towers into the video. (The Indoor Drop Is The Jumpscare)

[@TheOneAndOnlySkiddo]

I still wish Ghost Galaxy will return sometime in the future...

[@sethbrokmeier3744]

So... no mention of Revenge of the Mummy at Universal? That ride has a fake out return station where the 'ride operator' gets destroyed by the mummy before plunging you into the ride's final section.

[@sefun129]

OHNO U MESS UP THEME PARK CRAZY

[@andremoses7226]

Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Orlando had a pretty good jump scare, the part where the roof catches fire, the mummy pops out, and you go into a steep drop before the ride ends. Also to mention, the part where the scarabs pop out of the wall and the car goes into a reverse launch, absolutely stunning.

[@cratcliff8820]

I was waiting for that ride to show up. It has like 4 good jump scare moments. When the mummy’s pop up in the treasure room, when you suddenly stop and the beetles come out, when you suddenly are thrown backwards, and when you are in the fake ending. Not sure how it didn’t make the list

[@known-weebietweeb949]

in California Universal Studios, The mummy ride pretty sure Sort of scared me, I did not knew about the drop in the darkness All I thought it was a slow Ride but Instead it went so fast.

[@So.very.extremely.not.okay.3]

Loved that ride but ngl the part that I hated was the big part I swear they were on me

[@fuhgetabatit1051]

I was thinking the same thing. I’m sad it didn’t make it on this list.

[@alexanderbyrne7409]

That ride gets me every time

[@everybodysbud18]

I miss the old launch sequence on the Hulk. The "I think this time it's going to work." got me every time.

[@ChibiProwl]

Ditto

[@davidbilu1166]

I was one of the first people to ever ride “The Hulk”. It was a during a soft opening for high school students involved in a Universal film competition. I don’t think I ever felt more terror than when we heard Bruce Banners words followed by that launch into an inverted barrel roll!

[@libbyneedham2280]

ME TOO. i can’t believe it’s gone

I remember hearing that back in 5th grade when I went for a field trip. Sucks they removed it

[@Hey_its_isaac]

@@DTMB35 yup. It started to crack the foundation. They fixed it but if it kept moving it’d tear down the whole mountain. It’s understandable since It’s a 25 foot tall 20,000pound animatronic.

[@audreyh08]

I went on that ride when I was around 6 or 7! It scared me so bad!

[@takaotheijnbattleship4534]

I was 100% expecting to see Revenge of the Mummy from Universal Studios Florida on here! I really loved how meta the jumpscare with the fake station was. Combining the false expectation, the loud noises, the visuals, the flame effects, and the tilt track create what I believe to be the best jumpscare on any rollercoaster!

[@animeotaku307]

Not ashamed to admit that the fake-out got me the first time. I was sitting there thinking “that’s it?” Then the operator got eaten by scarabs and the mummy popped out. One of my favorite rides still.

[@-DumpsterFire]

@@animeotaku307 yeah there's even a little rubber cord behind your feet that wiggles around to simulate the scarabs (though some of them don't always work)

[@CollinNuding-xr4nz]

I loved the mummy coaster, and busted out laughing when the tv screen of the mummy’s face made if sand just smoldered at you

[@Sebastian-eg5iu]

Does anyone else feel the same way about the Disney World jump scare on Test Track at Epcot? Before the re-theme, there would be a point on the winding track segment where an 18-wheeler would pop out and honk at you before the car swerved out of the way. I think the effect is far inferior now with the neon laser techno theming. But it was by far one of my favorite moments of the ride at the time.

[@joshuabishop5527]

I remember this! It made me jump so much the first time I rode it

[@Everyrollercoasterrules]

OMG YES!! When I went on this ride for my first time, it scare me so much lol. And I was only 5 😂

[@sefun129]

Bro Saaaaaaame

[@someoneout-there2165]

Yep I remember that.

[@joyousslime3130]

I was 6 when I rode it and it made me scream at the top of my lungs.

[@newclothes8165]

HEY! i worked on Chaos in 1991. The funny thing is the props you see in this video were not original to the ride. It had video elements of something totally different. A guy(Whos name I wont mention) was the ride operator and on his b-day he gave riders hats,party favors,etc. They threw the party favors at the rides camera equipment damaging it. So for the rest of the year. You just rode the ride in darkness. The next year(92 or 93) they added the props shown on this video and I remember that dragon and yes it was scary because you would see it as you came out from a banked turned. So ithe props were added later because it was too costly to fix the projector and we got the props because a ride operator handed out party favors. RIP Opryland. Iworked there from 1988 to 1993 and 1995.

[@toddjones1480]

I only rode the original version.

[@Pwn3dbyth3n00b]

The only jump scare I've ever had was on Verbolten at Busch Gardens Williamsburg when the roller coaster paused then dropped like it was a drop tower. I expected it to be a launch coaster not with a drop.

[@BigWesProductions]

Yeah that's my home park, and it's another coaster with a drop track mentioned in #1 in this video. Never gets old lol

[@laurenpetro2901]

[@Polarized_Vision]

Another jumpscare that was not mentioned: the carnotaurus at Animal Kingdom’s Dinosaur. Seriously, the thing has mechanics that pushes the statue outward towards guests. That thing gave me the chills, especially because I was 7 when I first rode it

[@alliealasia]

YESS OMG I FIRST RODE IT AND THE CARNO SCARED ME MORE THAN THE JURASSIC PARK RIVER RIDE T REX AT THE END

[@m.cb0831]

I first rode it back in 2005 and the jumpscare of the animatronic was rlly bad for me that I have to ride it with my eyes closed when I visited animal kingdom in 2016

[@scootwinch]

I haven’t been able to keep my eyes open on that ride for 20 years😂😂😂

[@Cqllies]

I FEAR animatronics, I recently went this year and OMG I nearly shit myself on that ride!! I feel as if their gonna touch me

[@reputation8383]

I remember this from when I was 11! Scared the ever-loving shizzle out of me and ended up being my favourite ride in the whole of Disney World.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

Journey to Atlantis terrified me as a child, but I miss it looking back.

[@coltonandjen]

I miss the story elements of the OG Journey to Atlantis, I know they removed them since kids were scared by Allura, but it would be cool if they brought them back, even if it was only for event nights like Howl-O-Scream

[@derricksteen403]

I didn't know they had been removed because it's been so long since I've been, but I'm sad they were. It was scary but that's part of the fun. Wonder if maintenance had anything to do with it.

[@tinsote7176]

That would a great revolutionary haunted ride for Howl-O-Scream. They just opened a great Atlantis haunted house at the ride in San Antonio.

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

I rode that ride way back when it opened...and haven't been on it since, even though I loved it! So I had no idea they removed all that stuff! It was gorgeous and very well done

[@coltonandjen]

[@-abacchus]

Drop-tracks are *really* freaky, especially if the rider has no idea this is an included element..!

[@CourtneytheVA1993]

I saw the drop in Rise of the Resistance coming a mile away, but it was still scary!! Seeing the other escape ships drop one by one knowing that you were next adds an element of impending doom.

[@toritosc]

I had no idea it was gonna happen and there was a younger kid with his parents sitting in our car behind us and he was CRACKING up he fucking loved it hahaha

[@julesc4551]

I rode it for the first time over a month ago. I knew it was coming since I'm a coward and did my research, and the friend I was with told me about it. I still grabbed onto her and screamed for my life while she laughed.

[@CourtneytheVA1993]

@@julesc4551 IT’S SO AGGRESSIVE FOR NO REASON XD Flights of Passage was so much easier!

[@LorNrocks]

I miss the DCA version of tower of terror when everything in the hallway would disappear except the doors, then the doors would drop…and then you would drop. That was always fun to see first time riders.

[@rainbwoah9268]

My little cousin went on it with my family, and she absolutely HATES any kind of drop. So when the ride dropped, all I could hear was her screaming at the top of her lungs and afterwards she was crying 😅

[@thedevilgoose2482]

The Hulk coaster is one of my all-time favorites. The actual scenery isn't that heavily themed or anything after the launch, but it's one of the best examples of an actual themed coaster, like the track and everything. It really does make you feel like you're becoming a gamma-radiated beast during the ride. That sudden adrenaline rush is all the the theming you really need. I assume it's pretty close to what Bruce Banner'd feel, with less rage obviously. Even at the end, when it slows down and stops before heading back in, it feels like my radioactive wrath is finally calming down and I'm no longer in *big green mode.* Also I love the hulk scream when carts shoot out, that's great.

[@TinySwanGrandAdventures]

That roar with the launch and adrenaline combined with the suddenness of being shot out the lift tunnel and then hearing the soundtrack that accompanied the ride experience makes for such an incredibly fun time. I always hit up the Incredible Hulk Coaster whenever I visit Isles of Adventure.

[@pitvabackla8403]

Verbolten was one of the first intense coasters I have ridden in my life. I was attracted to the trains that looked like automobiles, and I thought that it would be a fun family ride with no scary elements. Boy was I wrong!

[@coastersaga]

I rode Wonder Mountain's Guardian when I was young, and the drop track got me out of nowhere. At least on Hagrid's you know it's coming.

[@CloudsAndCoffins]

The drop track on Hagrid's put my stomach in my throat. I did everything I could to avoid spoilers of the ride and I am so glad I did because I never saw that coming! I was so upset when they announced the closing of Dueling Dragons but I am very happy with the new ride. I would also credit The Mummy and Mount Everest as having some good jump scare moments!

[@futurehistoryarchaeologist4480]

I wish I could have ridden on Dueling Dragons. I understand why it was closed since idiots with loose articles can really hurt people on the other track.

[@Tobertobee]

I forever will have some of the best memories on Hagrids, my two brothers were terrified of it so they sat out on the first time my family and I went. I absolutely hate going upside down like the hulk or being bounced up in down like Tower of Terrors but hagrids, Gringots and revenge of the mummy where the few that gave me the rush I love and don’t get serious nausea from it! After Hagrids I was a laughing mess!

[@hettyoflynn5496]

3 months ago when I went to island's of Adventure during the castle show (at Harry Potter) l watched a video of a POV of Hagrids motorbike and l saw the drop l changed my mind going on it lol

[@Lemonaidz7]

I think the fact that Allura is sitting in the dark on Journey to Atlantis just makes the ride even creepier

[@someoneout-there2165]

I rode Journey to Atlantis soon after it opened and it was the coolest water ride I rode (Escape From Pompaii is very close) but sadly I rode it again with an ex and so many effects were missing I was disappointed as I hyped it up a lot. Still a loved ride though.

@@jaredporikos2197 My memory is foggy as it was years ago but there was a whole story where you followed this seahorse and learned of a sea witch out to stop you. I know there were some things along the way but the only other part I really remember is the sea witch screaming and starting to slide out at you. Lastly, there are these green eyes on the doors that open for the first drop. Sadly that's all I can remember. But there are ride through videos of the ride when it still had everything.

Actually caught me off guard on the latter. -Journey to Atlantis has brought back some of its effects to an extent, I believe earlier this year. The jumpscare hasn't returned, but the green eyes are lit up once again, perhaps we will see the old story come back after all.

[@mdragonflame]

An honorable mention I wanna put out there is The Poltergeist at Six Flags, San Antonio! The coaster is a launch, but often the attendants announcing the steps of safety will make their "have fun on the ride" statement into something like "wait, is someone's seatbelt unbuckled?" Or some other statement that would make the guests question and then send them into the launch. One of my favorite coaster experiences!

The sun had just set and as made the first bend I realized it was dark now. I’ve been on it twice before with sunlight and this was the first time at night. I think this is how it was meant to be ridden! The movies are set in dark lighting and seeing all of the headlights on as we soared through darkness made this perfect!!

Seeing the Journey to Atlantis ride on this list made me bring back memories of when I first went on it during my fifth grade class field trip to Sea World Orlando, it was really scary for me and the part where the evil mermaid appeared scared the life out of me and I was about to cry. Surprisingly after that, I didn’t suffer any nightmares from it, I must consider myself lucky to have gone on the ride. It may have been scary, but at the end of the day, it was all worth it.

Phantom’s Revenge at Kennywood is amazing at night, especially the second drop into the ravine-it’s quieter because there aren’t that many people left in the park and there are no lights at all on the curve, so it’s just you speeding along in the dark, cool night air. Totally recommend

Same thing happened at Universal Studios on Harry Popper: Escape from Gringotts, and Hagrid's Adventure nearly took me out entirely between the moment of weightlessness/suspension and then shortly after the drop. I'm not a big rollercoaster person, so all three of those were a bit much for me. WDW:RotR is the only one I've done more than once, and I vowed never to do Hagrid's again 😂

[@futurehistoryarchaeologist4480]

Rise of the Resistance isn't a roller coaster, it's a trackless dark ride. Really good ride though. Disney really went all out on that one.

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

@Future History Archaeologists close enough, it rides like a coaster for someone (me) who is iffy with coasters/similar rides

[@futurehistoryarchaeologist4480]

@Izzy I'm not saying it isn't an intense ride or anything, but I just think the terminology is important, at least in the context of a video about roller-coasters.

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

@@futurehistoryarchaeologist4480 it honestly feels really unnecessary to me. My comment is three months old, and is entirely about answering the personal experience question that was posed by the video. And really, the type of tract the ride uses is pretty unimportant to the general public.

[@Peachs.Travel]

Drop tracks are honestly terrifying, i didn't know that drop tracks were a thing and I went on one with it. legit thought I was going to die in those few seconds.

[@Spidermonkey43]

Surprise drop tracks get me every time.

[@EricMurrell]

I rode Chaos at Opryland easily 100+ times as a kid. The dragon at the end was kind of obscured and comes out of nowhere - you're pretty close to it. Literally clicked on that vid because I was like "holy cow - is that CHAOS?!"

[@SapphireStorm76]

Loved that an Opryland ride was included. Gosh I sure do miss that park! I’d love to see pictures of the bear that was inside the cave on the water ride Grizzly River Rampage but I have never been able to find any of it.

[@_stafford]

Not gonna lie when I rode Adventure Express, I was expecting a jump scare at the end.

[@Yukendoit]

Chaos was SO MUCH FUN! I went on that ride like 4-5 times as there was no wait when I was there.

[@littlemisstfc]

I miss Ghost Galaxy. It was the first ride that help me conquer my fear of scary things. 😭

[@Alex-eo7my]

The Hulk's launch hill is hardly a jumpscare since you can see see it from off-ride before you ride

[@fang4590]

loved this video! i think for future polls like this, you should include some way to find the things you mention, the first hansa park ride i struggled to find any good footage to judge off of, nonetheless amazing work as usual!

[@schalitz1]

The Incredible Hulk is an amazing roller coaster. Its the closest I've ever come to blacking out on one. Also that guy's mullet in the Opryland video was glorious.

[@SammyyNico]

I think Velocicoaster would be one of the best night rides of all time. I haven’t ridden it, but i have seen many POVs.

[@CoasterNerd]

A very good and very underrated night ride is Adventure Express. It feels like 3 times faster and there is actually a lot of cool effects that only show at night

[@drewpinsky3365]

Always a great day when you go on KZbin and see a new theme park crazy upload

[@Dangerfang]

my favorite sudden drop track section is probably the one on Hagrid's Moterbike Adventure at Island of Adventure in Florida. I was not expecting it and hearing my mom's scream from next to me was hilarious!!

[@amberanntn]

I love seeing my beloved Opryland on the list. Unfortunately for me, I was a kid and a bit of a chicken and was too scared to ride Chaos. I made a promise to my friend that “next year I’ll ride chaos”. And then the park closed. 😭

[@rayizard5687]

As far as classic track layouts that scare riders, I think Jack Rabbit at Seabreeze should have been mentioned. Like most old woodies, JR has a tunnel leading back into its station. When you enter the tunnel, you can see the station at the end but can't see that in the darkness between you and the station is another small drop - great surprise element on one of the oldest coasters in North America!

[@mdtorres_76]

Incredible Hulk Coaster in Islands of Adventure, tried 3 times in 2013... amazing.

[@hollyrose9187]

I remember going on the Hulk Coaster with some people from my band for a senior year trip. Absolutely hated it because I don't like roller-coasters, but surprisingly, that jumpscare was the one to change my perspective on roller-coasters in general

[@blankfacesodaboi8629]

I was not expecting Ghost Galaxy on this list. it's a shame Disneyland retired it. 😔

[@twistedcoasters1533]

I would queue for hours to go on 13 with someone who’s never been on. It’s absolutely priceless

[@reputation8383]

I've done thos, the scream he made made as we dropped down in the dark was priceless.

[@bountyhunter4459]

Dead serious. So happy you included Journey to Atlantis on here. Although it may not look like much, being on that ride is fucking nightmare fuel if you are 14 years old, and I don't scare easily. That jumpscare plus the heart- pounding drop right after is crazy. There's also another really unexpected twisting drop towards the end that makes you want to throw up for about two minutes. The whole time the ride makes you think about emergency exits bc they clearly show them too you too.

[@proudsmog2]

4:03 That is the Coast Rider at Knotts Berry farm here in California, and I've grown to love it, as it was one of the first coasters I've ever ridden.

[@nathanlightfoot8747]

Ghost Galaxy unfortunately has not returned to Disneyland for the Halloween season in quite some time :/ It was deemed too scary for families but here's to hoping someday it will return!

[@blankfacesodaboi8629]

I heard it was because they moved the Halloween party over to DCA

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

The lightning and the sudden drop on the Vliegende Hollander are also kind of jump scares. There’s also Willem van der Decken’s skull and laughter that can be quite creepy. Edit: Staying in the Netherlands, I could also talk about Xpress.

[@cookeerenee]

X2 at night during Fright Fest when they run the coasters in the dark. 🙌

[@artoflorizoone7268]

ahahah when i first rode schwur des karnar my dad, brother and me didnt know about the drop ahahah we were freaked the f out

[@silentbunny9797]

i personally think Allura was a great villain on Journey To Atlantis. i was terrified of her when i was little but to this day i still wish someone will make a Journey to Atlantis Movie. just so i can see Allura in action once again. although she may be even more terrifying just sitting there looking down at riders. newcomers to the ride wont know why she's there and will just be creeped out

[@bullwrinkle29studiosshow37]

Same that’s what I am saying and I still wonder who plays allura on the ride once I rode it back in 2007 or 2011.

[@Keepitrolling.]

How is the Mystic Timber’s tree/snake/bat not on this list?

[@philliplevinson2535]

Because it's not good. I love the ride but that element needed to be right at the top of the lift hill, if the shed had been at the start it would have been so much better. It's also not even visible to many seats on the ride.

[@goingbanans]

i really really love this channel. its just perfect and the topics are varied and well treated

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

Thank you!! 😊

[@froggynzack]

OMG!! I legit cannot believe you mentioned OPRYLAND. I live 5 min away from it. Now it is an extremely huge mall but it was really fun. So awesome
