Went on this last week had the death grip on my harness. When you see Goliath getting small you know you are up there. Met some girls that went on it before me and they had a malfunction that kept them up there for about 2 mins before they dropped. They said they were crying they were so scared.

Watching this is enough for me.
I'm going to Magic Mountain in less than a week, and I can't wait to ride this. I love freefalls😂
I'd probably queue up and then nope the fuck out of there when I see how high and fast it actually is up close. You must be at least this insane to ride.

Got stuck at the top of this ride for about 10 minutes due to "technical difficulties" after what felt like an eternity they got everything working again. Falling 500 feet out of the air never felt so good
I love coasters and this was fun the first 3-4 times. My daughter loved this over every attraction in the park and made me ride it 5 times in a row before I finally tapped out...
This ride terrified more people in its performance than Jesse Eisenberg.
I thought it wouldn’t be that bad but when I looked down I regretted it
Thanks youtube for waiting 8 years to recommend this to me😊✌🏻
The anticipation of the drop is the scariest part

I love thrill rides and I pride myself on fearing none of them. But this one made me flinch. It's terrifying.
I went to this ride and i still remember the fear and the most terrifying moment when I went bit it was crazy and so fun can't wait to do it again
Things will never be the same again.... Memories...
the moment I reach the top I change my mind about going but its to late to turn back now 😂😂
You will never know the fear of sitting at the top until you've actually been on it
I can imagine myself being there on this crazy ride.... As soon as the ride reaches the top, all of sudden I see 'Lex Luthor' just staring right at me with a creepy smile....while counting down the time....To rips my soul off this body in the mid-air, the very second when the ride drops.... 😂😂😂 Well the amount of insanity in this ride really got me thinking wild as if i live in a fantasy world..
Me: AAAAAAA OMG HELPP *Still holding on the handle* Skydivers: Yea, we got no handle.
This goes so frikkin high. The scariest ride I've been on is Saw!
Haha he was not ready for them g's. I love watching reactions like this lol.
I love how it was contructed right on the side of SEFC
I rode a ride like this with my bro and when we got to the top, we were just counting the water towers we could see, but then unexpectedly, about 10-20 seconds later, it just dropped and my face was like the guy at the end at 2:23-2:24
That fall didnt seem too long...

This type of rides could give you a heart attack. I almost had a stroke when I rode a ride like this.
Lex Luthor would be very proud of this creation.
I can feel the feeling of their heart

There was something like this at Knott's Berry Farm in the 90's, but probably not as tall. One of the scariest and most gut-churning rides I ever rode. Can't even imagine what this must be like.
@toddjones1480
6 ай бұрын
There were two different, large drop towers at Knott's in the '90s. Sky Jump ("the parachutes") had riders standing up inside a metal basket with no restraints. It dropped them from somewhere around 140-145 feet up a 180-foot tower. Then in the late-'90s they added Supreme Scream, which dropped riders from 252 feet up a 312-foot tower in pretty standard ride cars. This one claims to drop from 400 feet up a 415-foot tower. But looking at pictures and video there's no way that's true. Riders get to about 380 feet.
