Eh. That sounds great at first, but I wouldn’t like it personally, simply because it would cause coasters to become boring pretty fast, and I love coasters too much to accept that.
"Top Thrill Dragster is meant to simulate takeoff from an aircraft carrier" I have a feeling it may be inspired by another vehicle that quickly accelerates, can't really put a finger on it
Considering a Top Fuel Dragster would accelerate you by pushing you with force, and Top Thrill Dragster and and aircraft carrier accelerate you by pulling you, the show got it spot on lol
@@Freakywwe its literally the same in terms of force, wether youre being pulled by a motor in or outside the car doesnt make a difference in that regard, the only difference is that an aircraft carrier or pulled coaster arent limited by gravity as much
@@Phoenix-zu6on If you think the feeling of thrust from a drag engine = the same feeling as being pulled by a hydraulic motor then, frankly, I pity you lol
While he may be VERY lucky to have this job, it takes a lot of knowledge. It's not his job to enjoy the ride, it's his job to make sure everything runs and feels right, and make sure the gp can enjoy it.
The ride passes all kinds of safety checks before anybody actually rides it. Plus, it's not the ride's first ever manned operation. Saying he's risking his life any more than guests are is a stretch. Realistically speaking, that portion of his job is to ride coasters that are knowingly safe; come on, that's a great job.
I bet he gets to ride it on “empty train mode” which is way more powerful since it takes much more force to get an empty train over the top hat. Lucky dog!
Bet cha dont need any coffee after a ride like that , first thing in the morning. Thank you for my safety. Got to ride it only once due to long lines. ( I had to think about it about 30 mins before I got in line 🤣🤣)
yea working at an amusement park is fun. I work for Sesame Place but i'm moving up to Dorney Park next summer. I have 8 years of Amusement Park experience
You're right, I work at a theme park in Britain, where we don't have state-of-the-art roller coaster safety systems like the US parks do, so we have no choice but to have humans test it, but there's been a million other calculations and speed/g-force tests done beforehand, so it's not dangerous in the slightest.
I’d like to know how he concentrates and listens to noises and functions at these high speeds. More than half the time I’m loosing my shit and trying to keep my stomach from falling out.
While the train is in the gravity run section there usually isn't much to look for. All of the important noises happen when the ride is moving slowly. You can hear and feel the wheels on the track, and you can hear all of the interactions with breaks/lifts/launches etc under the train. Usually you're just listening to make sure it sounds normal. The test ride is really just a last resort sort of check to make sure there aren't any weird problems and to say "we're willing to ride it, so it's safe". All of the important daily checks happen before anyone gets on, including operators or the guy in the video.
@@nathonizamboni875 ohhhhhhhh! Ok that explains a lot. I was thinking he was listening for noises and stuff while going up the track and on the way back down. Thank you for explaining.
Bill: damn I’m working by these 12 hour office days, coming home, working till 11:30 and getting up at 6 to go back to work. What do you do This guy: I get paid to ride rollercoasters. Bill: •_• 😕🔪🔪🤲😵
Cassie_ Brooks your dad is a brave man! I’m on a coaster crusade across the US and despite having done nearly 90+ coasters, dragster is still too scary for me 🤣😢
Rollercoasters are the safest way to travel if you look at statistics, more people die from walking/driving/flying/... for distance X than they do from riding rollercoasters for distance X because they are checked so frequently. His job is to see problems with the ride before they become an actual problem: If the wheels start to loose their coating which is necessary for a safe ride he can feel it earlier than others because he has so much experience with this and many other rides.
Good point! Doing some simple arithmetic - if rollbacks happen roughly 1 in every 500 rides, assuming he's worked there for 10 years, and assuming that he rides the ride every day for safety checks, that means he's ridden roughly 3500 times, so would have experienced at least 7 rollbacks. I wonder if he sits and analyses rollbacks with the same emotionless "concentrating" face he does the other times?
I was hoping he would ride it with a notebook and pen, jotting down some notes as he went
hahahaha
alpal 😂
LOL
HELP LOL
🤣🤣
I think he the calmest person you'll ever see on a roller coaster xD
ua-cam.com/video/iknI8eFJW4U/v-deo.html
I got season passes to Canada’s wonderland and the third time we went I started to fall asleep on the roller coasters.
@@SummerzOG well that's Canada's Wonderland so duh
@@mr.rollercoasters Well they’re roller coasters
@@mr.rollercoasters there is a giga wdym
he gets free rides without the lines everyday, lucky guy
zzzlez He even gets paid for it
zzzlez just coasters, not all the flat rides lol, other people get to do that
zzzlez he mush get lotsa rollbacks
but he is the test dummy sooooo
Eh. That sounds great at first, but I wouldn’t like it personally, simply because it would cause coasters to become boring pretty fast, and I love coasters too much to accept that.
No emotions shown because he is feeling, listening and studying the ride for potential problems!

@@Freakywwe it is less forceful but it is literally the same for your body, so the only thing to pity here is your understanding of physics...
The speed and acceleration rate are closer inline to a carrier launch than a top fuel drag car which would be 3 times this
He went on in a suit and tie like a boss.
I could never keep a straight face during this type of work. This guy is something able to do so and be able to listen to the ride.
If I had his job I would tell the engineers, "Not enough G's."
Lol
No shit, right? I thought it was just me. But it's still an awesome ride
8 years, how are you guys?
This guys the real life rollercoaster tycoon park inspector
it's funny that he did not change any facial expression during the entire ride XDDDDDDD
No expression what so ever
Bob Man ikr he's pro
All he says at the end is "Nice. Great" 😂😂😂😂
he dont give a single fk he rides like a boss then at the end.."great!" xD
He's probably ridden the ride over a thousand times at this point
BLEK YESUS I mean he rides these rides ALLLLL the time
While he may be VERY lucky to have this job, it takes a lot of knowledge. It's not his job to enjoy the ride, it's his job to make sure everything runs and feels right, and make sure the gp can enjoy it.
best job ever...... so jealous.
Not really, It's his job to literally risk his life on roller coasters everyday
uh, sign me up.

King Hodor i have a weird fear, I think I will get decapitated 😅
Well at least if I don't become a doctor, I'll know what to do
Most people pay to get in theme parks to ride rides...he gets money to ride rides. Lucky bastard XD
Justin S.
I have a season pass and, if you go 2 times, it’s paid off. Also, my friend paid me $50 to ride this exact ride
He doesn't even have to wait!!!!! LUCKY MANE
I know he's a tester for the coasters but really how can he keep a straight face the whole time wow impressive
This man has the best job on the planet!
I wish I could wake up with this ride every morning. Wouldn't ever have to go to Starbucks again!
that would be so weird, riding rollercoaster completly alone.
I’ve done that when a park was open to the public once that’s how dead the park was
Germie's Coaster Yard
69th like nice
I’ve ridden rock n roller coaster before alone kinda weird lol
Everyone when they ride top trill dragster: 😱
This guy: 😑
that old man has such a cool job
This roller coaster is unbelieviable.
I WANT THIS JOB!!! :D
Lol me too. Except you have to Know all the scientific material on how the shit works lol
+Official Co-D B. "Scientific material", do you mean engineering? ;)
JW Yeah engineering but there is also a lot of science behind it to.
***** Well, yes, physics, which in this case is physics to do with engineering.
Me too jajajjajaa
I love the “Niiiice, it’s great.” And then the video ending
Riding roller coasters for a job is a great ass job to do.
I was hoping to see this guy riding the coaster with a pen and paper taking notes.
Beuh
I rode this twice in a row yesterday within 20 minutes amazing rush I was on edibles lol
0:46 “Yes, Patrick, we are underwater”
His vibe is to powerful, it must not be disturbed
Now that is a cool job!
HOW AWESOME WOULD IT BE TO HAVE A JOB LIKE THAT
Still gives me the chills
This ride has changed so much wow the safety is totally different now
smile at 2:11
Best job ever!
Best job title ever
I bet he gets to ride it on “empty train mode” which is way more powerful since it takes much more force to get an empty train over the top hat. Lucky dog!
But it's only one person on the ride, so it barely does anything.
How tf is this dude used to riding a 420 foot roller coaster?
Bet cha dont need any coffee after a ride like that , first thing in the morning.
Thank you for my safety. Got to ride it only once due to long lines. ( I had to think about it about 30 mins before I got in line 🤣🤣)
It's a hell of a ride! I wish I could use it to wake me up in the morning!
who needs coffee? now thats a way to get you blood flowing in the morning
was this video shot underwater?
What kind of a aircraft carrier launches dragsters?
Can we just appreciate that the guy narrating this video is an elf from Oblivion?
“The potential risks are enormous”
yea working at an amusement park is fun. I work for Sesame Place but i'm moving up to Dorney Park next summer. I have 8 years of Amusement Park experience
This ride scares the heck out of me, but it is still really cool!
PLEASE SAY YES EVERY DAY
He has the best job in the world lol
nice fps
Ikr
he is the reason why rides will stay safe in the park
haha just look at him riding it! cracks me up idk why.
He has the best job in the world

Professional roller coaster rider. Nice.
Riding this nest weekend I'm so scared rn but exited
RIP Dragster ❤️💛🤍
I want this guy's job!!!
I know right
He's a fucking Legend for not screaming his ass off on that
lol he kept a straight face like, "mmh, I see, okay"
I lost my dragsterginity yesterday.
Liam King because the dragster looks like a- nevermind.
No screaming but it’s nice it’s great
That is one lucky bastard
Thank god for these people who double check everything..its not the height or speed that scares me its how safe it is
Skye Clements rollercoasters are one of the safest rides you can go on.
I went on it 2 days ago, acteally all of them, im 11...its safe that ride is not even scary, all fun.
Yeah I feel you... testing a coaster to see if its dangerous and putting yourself in a position where you could die. Sounds AMAZING!!!
It's literally been through dozens if not hundreds of safety checks before humans are even considered to test the ride GP
I’d like to know how he concentrates and listens to noises and functions at these high speeds. More than half the time I’m loosing my shit and trying to keep my stomach from falling out.

That must be the best job in a way :D
Who the hell is the narrator?? I know that voice
Best ride ever made it's a shame they closed it and are changing the launch. That thing sounded like a jet!!!!!
I remember seeing this on TV. I may even have it on tape. The dead giveaway is Monte Jasper's face at launch :
Hopefully this won't just be a memory.....
‘Nice.. it’s great’.. so modest aha.
that's so awesome:D

I’m putting my life in your hands today Monty
Why are you recording with a toaster
PopFizzCJ Because its filmed in 2012 😂
@@flightoffear3349 Yeah, 2012, not 2002
its designed after a dragster, not an aircraft carrier launch
He has no reaction
he's probably rode it hundreds of times

best job EVER!!!!! :D
People watching this in 2021 be like : this guy failed his job
i wonder if TTD or Kindda Ka have ever had the PERFECT amount of speed to valley at the peak?
Dragster definitely has at least twice that I know of, but probably more. There are videos of it where they had to take an elevator up to push it
@@coastermania17 lol, you able to link one of those videos =D
What a good job
this guy has some balls
oh i've asked people who work there if their job is fun, and everyone at the park at the different attractions and stuff say they love it:D
That guy has some balls
David Burke eh im 11 and went on it 2 days ago on every coaster there, its so much fun
I work as a ride operator and we get to test ride our home rides every morning
nice, it's great.
good safety👍👍😀
Test top thrill dragster as best as u can on July 22 2017. Because my dad is going on it

Ah yes, I need to test this ride today.... excuse me excuse me testing the ride excuse me excuse me....
Did u see his face during the ride? He was like "yeah, okay."

Nice. Great.
