Top 5 Most INTENSE Roller Coasters at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

[@alyssa5430]

You’re brave for defending Kong. I was pretty rough but i guess it wasn’t too bad since my glasses didn’t fall off when I rode it

I hurt my neck

[@uselessnyhsirus5176]

It was brutal for me, and my glasses fell into my lap during one part

"THE SCREAM LANTER COASTER... FIRST... KONG... YES"

[@M-NL2]

BEST PART 🤣🤣🤣

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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!

[@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!

[@RaffyPadDT]

I've ridden the SLC's in many parks. I agree that they are very intense, but I would've ridden them multiple times if it weren't for the OTS restraint hovering right by my ears. I've heard that Vekoma actually made more comfortable restraints for SLC, which I'm really looking forward to.

[@trevorjensen2706]

I absolutely agree with your list. Well-said, and great humor!

[@M-NL2]

Thank you! 😊

[@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

[@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 😅

[@ShelbyTaylorExists]

The only SLC I've ever ridden is HORRENDUS (MindEraser at Elitch Gardens- We call it The Migraine Machine,) but I'll give Kong a shot. Maybe it's maintained better or something.

[@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

Ok, so I've been to DK several times over the past few months and Flash is NEVER running. Kong hasn't been either, but I went today and it was so I went on it 3 times in a row, but the last time, my body said "No more." Lol. I have to agree with you on the Medusa. We don't have as many coasters as MM so of course it's going to be a favorite. I actually think Boomerang is pretty intense also.

I have riden Kong and it's not as bad as people say but it definitely gave me a headache

[@kaitlyng7850]

I went to DK yesterday and I rode Kong and I can say with certainty that it’s the most intense roller coaster at the park (and that’s not a good thing). For me, it was the most painful roller coaster I’ve ever been on (though it really didn’t hurt that much when I rode it for the first time at age 10). But this last time was the worst and I had such a bad headache and neck ache after, and even a full 24 hours after riding it my neck still hurts. In terms of intensity as well as pain, #1 for sure. In terms of fun? Easy last place. I’m so sorry if you love Kong this is just my experience haha Edit: signature rollover really killed my head the most. Didn’t know what that was called but I saw that part at the end of the video and that’s what hurt. Also I had such a horrific grimace on my face it was hilarious 😂

[@M-NL2]

Completely understandable lol! I'm personally really tall and so my head clears the OTSRs, so thats why it doesn't hurt me one bit! I rode Mind Eraser at Six Flags America (which is an identical coaster to this one) 7 times straight and loved it! These things definitely aren't for everyone tho

[@kaitlyng7850]

@@M-NL2 weird! I thought the taller you were the more painful it was considering it didn’t hurt too much when I rode it for the first time about eight years ago, just got a lot worse.

[@299436083]

It surprises me that Medusa would be intense considering I've been on scream a few times even recently and honestly other than banging my head that ride doesn't really do anything for me the inversions don't really feel that exciting

If you keep your head forward you won't get any headbanging at all on Scream (or Medusa). Also try riding back row on an edge seat; it really amplifies the experience!

[@ScarletFury]

@@M-NL2 Can confirm, back row ride on Kong was the most intense, head-banging, rough, g-force laden experience I've ever had on a Vekoma SLC.... And I've ridden Mind Eraser at Elitch Gardens in Denver at least 20 times when my family lived there and Mind Eraser was one of my favorite rides in the park! Me and my youngest brother were fortunate to get a last minute ride on Kong right before they kicked everybody out of the park, so we got to choose exactly what seats we wanted.... The ride operator who was helping us in literally said "You guys are true psychopaths for wanting to ride in the very back, but enjoy!" So... In conclusion.... Can't believe I'm saying this, but Kong was _more intense in terms of forces and roughness_ than Mind Eraser at Elitch Gardens! >.< But I agree, I don't get the hate for these types of coasters, they have such a unique experience! Don't knock em till ya try em!

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

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.

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.
