No way man. I peed on Top Thrill one 😂🤙
I am working up the nerve to ride this thing! I know it’s closed indefinitely so I don’t know whether I’m disappointed or relieved.
I miss the dragster sound effects they had before the coaster took off. Also the “keep your arms down head back and hold “ with the stop light. Made the anticipation better
Stupid music ruins videos
I'd be okay except for the fact that we know that harnesses like those have a habit of maybe sometimes possibly... unlatching. Do they have a secondary restraint system, like a simple lap belt in addition to the harness? Cause if that harness comes open somehow (like happened on a drop ride in Orlando), there is no way in hell a person would be able to hang on and stay there, not with those G-forces. And if that happened, no way they could make it slow down quickly. Gravity sux sometimes. Gonna give this one a pass.
Can someone please explain why too thrill sometimes makes it and sometimes doesn’t
@@a.h.9576 There are a few factors. On this day, weather was certainly one of them. It was cold and breezy. Train probably running a bit slower and wind stopped us from getting over the top!
The recklessness of risking it all on an empty kiddie ride without the full protection on an N95. All for some likes. For shame. Hopefully you were at least triple vaxed young man.
"Top thrill cubster"☠️
I can just imagine where your stomach will feel like on the first launch, going backwards and going forwards again.
imagine if it failed the second time 😅
Did the ride uproot out of the ground when the train went over the top? loL
my heart almost exploded out my chest just watching it. Cant wait to ride
Great we have a commentator on the ride
Would you go deaf if they all decided to start screaming?
Yes
@@arekchmiel3771 I definitely gotta make a hit single with these guys. What kinda music are they into?
My are so bad
Last month there was cicadas in Missouri too
Yall know that sht's irresistible. XD
MARCUS!!!!!! NO MORE RECREATING INTROS FOR WGN MORNING NEWS B-TEAM!!!!!! IT'S NOT A TV SHOW, IT'S A MORNING NEWS SHOW!!!!!!
I live just by western springs and they stopped just recently
Same which town r u from
@@Jekasnaka you know downtown LA Grange?
@@The_TwinsBellaZyla yea
@@The_TwinsBellaZyla I’m from hinsdale
@@Jekasnaka ik from la grand
I could feel the G's of that just watching. As someone who has rode every coaster at Cedar Point, including the OG Top Thrill Dragster, this clearly looks like it's going to be the best ride in the park. Although, I'll always have a place in my heart for Maverick.
I’m in Hinsdale and this has been going on for on for a minute now it sucks😭
I was on it before it had that backdrop
Too mad it closed rn
From a kid from western springs it is very scary when one flys on you
The fact that this ride is still not open is embarrassing for six flags
How come?
@@Dinoguy74 they hyped it up all year just to STILL have it closed and it’s summer already
@@tdog8600 true ig
That's an awesome roller coaster!
Ew
My fucking ears
It's so crazy to me that this coaster goes over a track switch at high speed. I didn't realize that and would probably not ride now. Your life literally depends on if that little piece of track at 0:17 lines up properly. If it's a few inches off...
My man. What about Guardians Of The Galaxy?
I love the representation in areas like this, I live near western springs and it’s nice for all the small towns to be recognized
Man I'm jealous to not be able to witness this.
the fact that it will double it speed cuz it reverses and goes through the lsm again made me conclude that I will defo pass out in the queue line 😭
This is how bad my yard is
I KNOW
Like you, I want to ride it but at 50 I cannot spin anymore! It’s glad to hear your take on that aspect :)
my worst nightmare
Thx for reminding me of what I lived through 🫡
Watching this cuz ima do this tomorrow hoping it's opens
I cannot wait to try a zamperla discovery. Huss ones at cedar point and kings are fun. This looks like it takes it up a notch a bit.
Confused how cicadas are only supposed to appear every 17 years but I see them every other year
No stalls or rollbacks on this one 😤
Absolutely love them
Me too!
This was my first 2024 visit for Six Flags and I saw all the signs for media day at Sky Striker I might have just missed a Marcus sighting!!!
Tundra twister is calm imo
When I go for a walk outside they always try to jump on me and they fly to me
The front of my house smells absolutely horrible in stench of dead cicadas
The rides are getting more crazy
You are ants on this ride
the best describe a giant pendulum ride is a giant swing set at the playground I can't wait to ride it when I go next week
I've ridden similar types at Cedar Point and Kings Island. Sky Striker apparently is even faster and higher than either. It's a ton of fun!
