Top 5 Most INTENSE Roller Coasters at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

[@tiffanyr.2567]

I rode Kong for the first time at the beginning of April and I can confidently say its the most rough and indeed painful coaster I've been on. The layout was good but my neck and shoulders did hurt afterwards. If DK worked on trying to upkeep it better I don't think it would get as much hate as it does.

[@M-NL2]

There's been plenty of times that I've gotten bad rides on coasters before; X2 gave me a minor concussion in 2019, but at the beginning of this month, it was running incredibly smooth. It all depends on the ride's most recent maintenance cycle tbh!

[@zacharyyamashita8554]

Kong is worse than all the remaining SLC's called Mind Eraser even.

[@joelysharp4792]

Agreed. I have gone on Kong on 3 different trips and each time I told myself nah, it wasn't that bad. And then I regret it. The neck pain, oh the neck pain.

[@imdepressed8326]

I rode I 5 times in a row its the best

went on it twice last week. slightly rough and abrupt brake at the end but wasn't painful for me at all and the layout is still pretty good. the foot chopper barrel roll is great

BEST PART 🤣🤣🤣

[@tyswan56]

You've got a good opinion on things. I've always been an Arrow fan growing up. And I also enjoyed riding the big apple coaster in vegas the few times I did on my 21 b-day. And also to be honest I think my worst coaster experience was riding the revolution at magic mountain when it still had O.T.S restraints.

[@M-NL2]

I agree with every single thing you just said 😄👍

[@maddyseller718]

The first time I went on Kong I was in the very front, and got no whip lash. The second time, I sat in the middle and I got a tremendous amount of whip lash. It may just depend on where you sit on the ride.

[@BlueJay_03]

I honestly love Kong. It was one of the two roller coasters I went on when my collar bone was healing after I broke it😬 (I know I shouldn’t have but oh well). I can tide that coaster over and over again lol.

[@coasterkraken9544]

If you like the intensity of Kong then you’ll love Riddler Revenge at SNFE and Great Nor’Easter at Moreys Piers. Both of them have vest restraints so there is no head banging and Nor’Easter had some track work done and it’s very smooth

[@M-NL2]

Can't wait to try those out! I was originally gonna visit SFNE this summer, but it will be an inconvenience and I'm gonna have to skip it for now, but I'm sure I'll get around to those eventually!

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

As much as I hated Kong when I went to the park 2 days ago, I can’t deny that it is the most intense coaster although all of the coasters are intense to some degree. The weird turn and double twist on Kong are really strong elements.

[@Savvvyy]

I hate Kong I rode it once and it HURT a lot after not recommended if your a smoler person or a bigger person…. Not recommended for any person actually…

Will there be an intensity ranking for the coasters at California's Great America? Wonderful video as always!

[@M-NL2]

Yup there will actually! I do have a handful of Knott's and SFMM vids to get through first, but it will probably be uploaded next week or the week after!

[@brodypenn]

This is my homework so I love it of course but I have to admit that Discovery Kingdom has the weirdest line up of rides. Every single roller coaster goes upside down except for the kiddie coaster. Three of them go through the station a bunch which is cool but it happens more than every park. It also has 4 clones! At least it has a cool full on zoo in the back which is cool. It’s weird but I still love it.

Thank you so much; I'll try my best! :)

[@D00rHandleMedia]

Kong is for sure #1 intense! The smoothest difference although minimal is probably why people prefer Medusa but Scream has a better second half I think. Also Joker is kinda a slug except in the front where the airtime is more sustained.

[@M-NL2]

Yeah Joker definitely has slow pacing but I still really enjoyed the experience. I also wish Scream didn't receive as much as hate as it does, but oh well 😭

[@D00rHandleMedia]

@@M-NL2 Scream is great ride yet a little ugly over the parking lot. Though I do remember it having a nasty rattle in 2015 after the repaint but has since gotten a lot smoother. The same I felt about Riddler after it's repaint. Seems like it takes some time for the trains to break into the new paint.

[@payne8900]

Yes !Kong was always my favorite as a kid and I never got why every video shits on it I haven’t gone to discovery kingdom in a long time but I’m going there in a couple of weeks again !

Can't wait to get back and ride kong to refresh my memory. But what I know it's not as bad as they make it out to be. It's rough but having ridden scream and medusa lately I can't picture kong being over extremely more rough than those.

[@M-NL2]

I personally think that Kong isn't any worse than Viper; I feel like those two have extremely similar levels of roughness, hopefully you have a good experience!

[@lexierosevideos]

Don’t go, only like 5 thrill rides are open with +2 hour lines, and barely any restaurants open.

[@Roberto16H]

[@spikedwk]

Just went to DK for the first time. Didnt get to ride medusa because right before i got on someone had a medical issue and they closed it for the rest of the day, so im glad to hear its basically just scream since ive ridden that enough to not even want to ride it most days lol. I would rank the ones i rode in order from worst to best. Safari sidewinder Cobra Batman The flash Kong Superman The joker Edit....kong is NOT better than Viper at MM lol. Less painful, but not better.

[@fishwithnoname4486]

I rode kong (and all the other roller coaster on this list) for the first time today. It was very rough wich felt kind of thematic, but the handles on the restants had to be made for aliens, they were honestly kinda uncomfortable. Overall Medusa was my favorite because it was very fun and has such a short line. Although I agree Kong is the most intense because of its head shaking roughness.

[@Yes_sir12345]

So I’ve went all on of these except Superman and yet I closed my eyes on Medusa and the ride opened my eyes I believe that Medusa is scarier than Hong Kong just my opinion. Also my man I’m trusting you because I’m going on Batman next week and I didn’t see it here. PS I’m scared of roller coasters.

[@GPK1075]

I am joining your bandwagon of the team screamlantern coaster first kong cuz I like scream and kong but haven't ridden green lantern and big apple coaster but I would probably agree

[@andreagarnica2678]

I went last Saturday. Witnessed almost everyone exiting Kong express their pain while I waited for my kids to finish that line.

[@Bubbing17]

when I first rode kong on july 15th I get no head banging and no pain afterwards, it seemed they did add some padding that Idk if it was theree before but it helped but i felt no pain on kong,( I took a bunch of ibveprofen before tho)

[@elliekanet6087]

I rode Kong 2 weeks ago. I do agree with you that it was really fun, but it was kind of hard to pay attention to what was even happening, as my head was banging side to side the whole ride. My ears were throbbing, and my head was sore for the rest of the day. My glasses almost fell off as well, and I think that you can agree - that would not be a pleasant experience to try and get them back.

[@miafort-qn8pq]

kong was the first “real” roller coaster ive ever been on-and honestly i dont find it super thrilling/intense. i find the first drop on joker way more intense and i recommend kong for anyone who wants to ride a roller coaster for the first time. it may be a little rough but it’s totally manageable

[@dimarrust4431]

I am going on vacation to Seattle next summer and will visit discovery kingdom is it overall a nice park? I’ve never been in a six flags before only in Dutch theme parks 😅

[@brucegibson1813]

I have ridden Kong and never really thought of it as intense, maybe because the “intensity” was being hindered by the roughness but tbh I don’t see it as number one, maybe Superman or Batman instead.

[@roncartagena4829]

when i rode kong it was using a vr experience of a sort of space jet type thing, so i it didnt feel like a riding kong really but a vr experience. in my opinion joker and superman are tied for 1st. i want to ride kong as an actual coaster (vr aside) to see how it compares but ur list seems pretty fair to my experience

[@blossomsboutique.]

My list: Joker Batman Medusa Kong Superman Kong is painful but not A bad ride and joker is cool but I love it too much for it to be scary

[@casseyzarate7112]

In my opinion Kong is a rough coaster but it is not the worst. To me the only part that was not to comfortable was that hard stop a the end I was not prepared and I hit my head. But it is still an OK 👌 ride

[@Bofadeeznuzz]

Hey creator, I don’t wanna say the KZbin channel cause it’s long lmao, but is this channel just six flags or other amusement parks, if not then can you do a video on Disneyland or universal studios or maybe knotts berry farm?

[@M-NL2]

Hi! If you want, you can just say mnl2 lol, I'm planning on doing my actual name reveal maybe at like 10k subs; but to answer your question, I like to talk about parks that I have either been to or am familiar with; most of my videos are of Magic Mountain, but I do have a few at Knott's, and this one is Discovery Kingdom. This summer I am going to 8 different parks on the east coast, and plan on making videos about those! I might eventually make a video about Disneyland, but that park isn't a place that I visit frequently because of the cost. Hope this answers it! :D

[@Bofadeeznuzz]

[@Verdelite]

bruv in that one clip of kong you can literally see the entire car snapping to the left right before it enters the brakes, (7:24)that ride is the spawn of broken necks and beaten up ears for me. like you can see the train snap left then their legs snap along with it

[@alantrotter2077]

I have ridden Kong and T3 at Kentucky Kingdom in terms of SLC and Green Lantern First Flight. These are my 3 least favorite coasters, although Kong is better than the other 2. Kong is a complete head banger for me based on the restraints although it was smoother than T3 remarkably. I'm not looking forward to these in the future and I think the next one I will be ridding is the one at Michigan's Adventure in late summer. They are intense coaster but not enjoyable coasters in the least. I think V2 is more intense than you give it credit for. The launch is a pretty intense moment all things considered.

[@M-NL2]

I agree that Kong is not a super incredible ride, but I just didn't find it to actually be that bad. I actually really loved Green Lantern for how intense it was! As for V2, it just didn't seem to be as aggressive as some other coasters in the park, or other launch coasters in general. For example, I find Xcelerator to have a significantly more powerful launch; maybe it's because I rode Flash 10 times when I was at SFDK and became numb to it lol 😅

[@spetrumanimationsmore705]

Sadly I don’t think I’ll ever ride a Sky Rocket 2 again. The extreme air time that instantly becomes 4 positive G’s is just too much for me. Starting to get annoyed with positive Gs. My least favorite thing to experience on a coaster at this point in my life

[@M-NL2]

100% agree with disliking positive G's. That's really the main reason as to why I hate Goliath at Magic Mountain. Just way too many positives and they're pretty uncomfortable.

[@scottyjbd]

@@M-NL2did you ever get to ride before the brake run slowed to a 3mph crawl? I went to Goliathon in May of 2001 and rode the damn thing 7 or 8 times in a row before I HAD to get off and relax.

[@M-NL2]

for me, the s&s free spins are just 'fun' and not exactly exhilarating or intense, especially when compared to some wilder coasters out there that I've ridden like X2, Maverick, or Skyrush. Even I305

[@themeparklunatic1996]

Theirs something about this park I will never like especially with joker I haven’t been able to get on it since 2017 because it always breaks down I seriously think they have a terrible maintenance team for that ride every time I go it breaks down ever 20-30 minutes throughout the whole day so I don’t bother with it anymore and then they rides at this park make it feel like a couple hours park except for Medusa that’s the only ride to me worth Marathoning

Kong is not the worst coaster I've ridden but it is not great, Desperado is way worse. I also think Joker is a very underrated like Scream, I do understand it may be a bottom tier RMC but a bottom tier RMC is better the most coasters in my opinion.

[@M-NL2]

I agree! Joker was a solid ride and is my #2 at the park, and top 5 in California overall for me!

[@alantrotter2077]

I've been on 12 RMC's and while Joker is my #11 it is still in my Top 25 overall. Scream's rattle is the issue for me. I don't find that Medusa had that same rattle. Scream isn't horrible it just average. With that said I actually prefer Desperado over both Scream and kong.

[@M-NL2]

Unfortunately I have not been able to ride Desperado because the last few times I went out to Vegas, it's been closed, and I'm not sure if it will ever reopen, as it's been closed since 2019 now I believe :/

[@jose10900]

Was here last weekend. The only ride that wasn’t open was Flash, which apparently has been closed for a while for a touch up. The three missing rides form this video are Batman, Boomerang and Sidewinder (a wild mouse). In the grand scheme of things, with all coasters open, this is not a bad park for $40. In mid-November the lines are practically non-existent, which mean you can easily ride all coasters twice and also have lunch all within 5 hours or less, depending on how much head banging and shaking you can tolerate. The one thing this park is missing is a hyper coaster. Easy to say from my vantage point, but I honestly think that with something Goliath-like (Magic Mountain), it would put this park over the top from most parks with 7 to 10 coasters.

I like Joker more than TwiCol. Not a fan of the incredible break in pacing of the 2nd lift. They should add a mild launch like at the very start of the ride so it doesn’t take so darn long. And Joker is quite long imo
