[@-noah-_hooman_7157]

Pickles 😂

[@ChaR_OfTheK0Rn]

Aw same lmao

[@jessicale05]

he’s my priest now i love him 😂😂💀

[@rahafbarghouthy1801]

There are 2 types of priests, the "we can pray later, let's have fun" and the "let's have fun while still praying" 😂

[@theroadtocosplayandcomicco5840]

charli XCx I'm the second one

[@nickxdangelopersonal]

He wasnt having fun while still praying he was praying because he was scared.

That Moment when two Priests are riding a Hyper Coaster.

*Its not fast I promise*

[@coolminer6242]

Chloes Looming isn't lying a sin 😂😂😂

[@chloeskittles791]

CoolMINER624 yes. But i guess to them no..?

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

Roller Coaster Addict nobody cares

[@melissa-Ann]

lololol ... Priests that ride a roller coaster are Priests that I wanna meet!!!!! This was hilarious!!!!!

[@CourtneyByrd-lh6tk]

melissa ann I agree lol

[@tylercollins809]

The guy with the curly hair is hilarious

[@nathanielisaacs972]

father mike savage

[@NightHawk-ek7om]

Shoe Science Cleaning it’s not guy,it’s father

[@jeanniewhite5687]

Actually he just said mass today at St. Sebastian's and when his homily was over, people started clapping... he's really amazing.

[@helenr.2184]

Fr. Mike Zavage is an amazing priest...

[@fishgaming6639]

Oh ya

[@daiisuki6550]

This is literally my two different moods riding a roller coaster

[@urmom4816]

The one with the blue sunglasses is meeeee everytime I get on a scary roller coaster 😭❗️❗️❗️❗️

[@soup8110]

i find it hilarious when the audio gets muffled can you can slightly still hear the screams

[@davidc3857]

Can't believe some of the hateful comments towards these two priests! They are allowed to have fun & as far as the disrespectful attitude towards the rosary & such.... I don't know how nervous they were but if it were me up there, I'd have a whole lot more to apologise about than a casual comment or action regarding a rosary! How about giving these two priests a little slack here, they are priests, but foremost, they are people who are at times fallable and imperfect.... it's part of being human! I'm not even Catholic either but I have an admiration for someone who righteously dedicates their life to God... You two priests really rock in my book! If there were more priests like you two out there doing regular stuff that people do for fun, perhaps today's youth wouldn't stray from the church! Let's celebrate these two, not chastise them for a minor oversight.... 😊

[@hendrance8617]

The comments aren’t as hateful as the intestinal crank they used back in the day

[@isaacrumley]

Well said

[@davidc3857]

Isaac Rumley Well thank you Isaac, nice if you to say. I'm sending much love for the clergy, they're human beings doing the job of saints, unfortunately folks these days are too quick to critisize & judge the clergy, that's really a shame being critisized over every misunderstanding, oversight or mistake they may make in life....

[@isaacrumley]

David Carter they're noble people and I respect them for that. God has given them an opportunity to spread the word of his greatness and they are amazing people for what they do. It is unfortunate that people are quick to judge because if they just stopped and listened to what they have to say, it could change their lives

[@davidc3857]

Isaac Rumley God bless you Isaac, you're a good man. I have the highest regard for them and actually admired them for showing folks that they're human and do activities that or do ordinary folks do, maybe it'll show today's youth that they're people just like everyone else except that they chose to serve the Lord as their calling in life. As far as I'm concerned I like their moxy for riding the coaster, surely wouldn't be me up there, I'm not a fan of heights.... thanks again I've got to return to the church, I'm inspired to be around such terrific people and want to be a part of church again...

[@alondraperea9139]

I’m catholic and I’m not afraid to say it god bless everyone ❤️

[@josephknuckles9684]

Follow jesus not religon

[@ChrlMrsmamr]

[@Foxy02016]

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

[@SholenBurger]

[@buckeyevocations5514]

Very well done, gents! Love the glasses falling off at the end!

[@ashley-mt5fi]

[@Amelia-jj2kp]

[@leahs.4363]

Lmao he pulled out he rosary 😂😂

[@andrewcalcagno8272]

Coolest priest ever

[@WowItsJoao]

The positives of being catholic: this video

[@laikandnicole2012]

In 2017 I sat in the front seats on that ride I was 11 boy it was fun. I live in texas though I visited Pittsburgh

[@Ihatethoosies]

Thats awesome I love Phantoms Revenge! The terrain usage on that coaster is beyond impressive and its amazing how smooth that ride is its really impressive the amount work Kennywood and Morgan put in to that coaster.

[@Videobot9000]

This honestly represents my thoughts when on a roller coaster. One side of me getting excited and enjoying the ride and another being reluctant and anxious about it.

[@CourtneyByrd-lh6tk]

This would be my grandfather lol. He is a preacher

[@timk987]

First Fr. Mike (on the left )loses his wireless mic receiver 1:56, then the sunglasses at the end. Good thing the train was empty! How many takes?

[@Foxy02016]

Tim K one take Why would there be more

[@timk987]

Foxy 02016 because at the end 2:28 they show Fr. Mike (on the left) lose his glasses, but he's wearing them at the end of the initial run. Plus they had a lot of dialogue so bloopers are almost inevitable.

[@calebbenton1441]

Tim K he knocked his glasses down into the cart. they didn’t fly out that’s why he had them agajn

[@DioPitt]

Three takes :)

[@paulac8745]

Our Priests ARE allowed to have fun...hope that your Catholic Day was just as much fun and happy as you both were in this video

[@xennie9412]

I really like this ride. It's nice that we are getting actual attention for such a cool ride in Pittsburgh!

[@hannahhampsfire7607]

I don’t know what happened it’s 3am, I’m watching two priests ride a rollercoaster, this was in my recommended, I’m not even from the same diocese

[@mbkierqw]

Love it!! I'll bet your target audience does too! I'm a devout Catholic and love the creativity and the range of reactions displayed on the ride (fear vs. fun) - those responses (and every emotion between) not only applies to roller coasters but to life situations as well. Great Job!! I'm sure it will be a very fun day for everyone who participates. Most importantly; THANK YOU for answering His Call!

[@ElleCee62978]

I rode rollercoasters at Dorney Park with my priests and nuns when I was about 10. Best experience of my life.

[@cozymellons1516]

The guy who was scared is me before a new ride and the guy with his hands up is actually how I am on the ride

[@AS-xe5rs]

It took me 2 hours to get on that ride and they got on all alone

[@BST-ri6gf]

Im Cewl Jesus took them to the front

[@coreyellis3988]

When did Bradley cooper become a priest?

[@atarikobayashi450]

Corey Ellis no he became a raccoon

[@SholenBurger]

Atari Kobayashi no he became a tree

[@mathewjoshj]

IKR

[@tidepodmusical4173]

He gained weight, too

[@TobaccoRoadAI]

The other one looks like Chris Evans

[@itsemma6976]

Went on the phantom today and let me tell you it was amazing!!!

[@mikuthecat5427]

This is the mashup you never thought you needed but ❤️

[@iovejulia]

*OH LorD SaVE mE !! DeaR LoRD SaVE Me !!*

[@Bowie0001]

I am SCREAMING at the guy with the rosary 😂

[@loveign]

[@j0nb0y5]

[@calisalamander8455]

I guess you can say it scared the *HELL* out of him 👌

[@oldturntables8215]

i just knew the guy with the Rosay beads was going to say 'OOOH SHYT,,OOH SHYT" when they went down that first hill. LOL

[@trover1922]

When he bust out the rosary I was dying

[@ambersparks9679]

I just went to Kennywood I'm about to go back in 2 more days!

[@leechion2933]

"SAVE ME LORD!!!! PLEASE SAVE ME!!" I got tears in my eyes.

[@breeboyd8492]

I love this ride i have a season pass here since I live close it was my first big rollercoaster

[@myles3424]

This is perfect for rollar coaster confessions, aka; me yelling "im gay" at every hill.

[@JasonGamingForever]

As a catholic I can say, most of the time its the nuns out riding thrill rides. For people that dont know that is no joke. Nuns are very wild when they want to have fun. They ride thrill rides and all that.

[@chlorine4865]

1:39 When my mom says she will go on a rollercoaster with me..

[@leetlefool7173]

One of them took out a rosary mid-ride! Hehe... Somewhat relatable.

[@Angelicguardion]

And people say we Christians don’t have fun

[@theroadtocosplayandcomicco5840]

Ludvic The Undying wholesome fun

[@lillrice27]

I always try to have fun and In a christian, but when it is something serious I dont think about having fun

[@HYPERgamezsubscribe]

Ludvic The Undying who' says that?

[@DwightLivesMatter]

It clearly says Catholic a million times dude.

[@cadencedoge9351]

The guy with the rosary is me the first time I rode this, the curly hair guy is me every other time

[@minipoopuu12340]

[@HHPYEPIC42]

[@xerynredito]

[@bigboyisbackintown5601]

THE GUY ON THE LEFT IS ME

[@ThomasMusings]

We're sharing in your joy!

[@kaelynking1640]

I have season passes to kennywood and I’m going there tomorrow. I’ve been on this ride many times

[@vaughnlcoleman]

I was so anxious he was gonna drop the rosary lol.

[@quietyoutrash8150]

So funny. There was video of four priests on a coaster at seaworld which is a riot but I cant find it now.

[@whattheheckmon2167]

Them going down the roller coaster: *HOLY SH*T!* Other guy: *DONT CURSE IN MY CHRISTIAN ROLLERCOASTER*

[@southwesternpasirens]

[@Destiny-nb3rz]

You know they wanted to say some unholy words.

[@colleenposey4266]

Perhaps...lol! But their self control is admirable. lol

[@panthir6720]

That looks like a Arrow Dynamics coaster cause of the supports

[@DF-ky6nv]

It used to be an arrow dynamics coaster but got converted into a Morgan hyper, so they look like arrow supports because most of them ARE arrow supports!

[@panthir6720]

D F ik their arrow supports

[@authenticNL2]

D F well , it’s Chance Rides now but technically still Morgan.

[@NeoDream]

Only supports and track in station and lift hill tell us that this was Arrow Dynamic roller coaster

[@legitsportzseller9718]

Thats looks like a fun roller coaster

[@bopperiscool5529]

Omg Father Mike Zavage (curly hair) preaches at my church 😂

[@jackavolio8730]

Now this is why I want to go on that rollercoaster

[@gailfinke8318]

This is the best video ever.

[@bullyboy131]

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodne5977]

[@BelldofersMatlack]

[@danielle65]

[@mjrxrgames1665]

[@ThatFATyoutuber]

At least one of them looked like they were having fun

[@okityo5731]

He was not ready for that 2nd drop.

[@twilightsky1580]

"You told me it wasn't fast." XD

[@anniesmiles4758]

Priest can have fun too 😊

[@joecardone4887]

I know both of these priests. Both good priests! Father Mike Ackerman on the left is hilarious. He had a dance off with another priest at this youth group event and he went crazy lol I think he purposely just did the most random dance moves he could lol

[@flynnmckee2703]

1:44 had me dying 😂

[@pooopsoup]

I was expecting them to yell "JESUS LORD SAVIOR CHRIST!! THE DEVIL'S COASTER!! SHUN THE NONBELIEVER! MAY WE BE BLESSED"

[@DonYpz]

Malichi Park Priests aren’t like that it’s more regular people who go to church every day and expect for something in return

[@pooopsoup]

EggNBacon oh ok, sorry I dont know anything about other religions tbh

[@DonYpz]

Malichi Park Nah it’s okay Haha

[@sneakszn7558]

“2 different types of people on a rollercoaster” should have been the title.
