Ha! We've been doing this style of video for YEARS! I guess it just so happens that a lot of more recent videos have been just POVs. We aren't always fortunate to be able to get this much footage of rides, sometimes.
That is literally why I found this video, I saw the report and had to see why. Honestly most of those injuries are probably from people not keeping their head back at launch.
i remember my mom wouldnt let me go on it just because of how fast it was and i was like “ill just go on it when im older.” but now ill never be able to since its shut down now
@G G hey that’s just what they say🤷🏽♂️ Seeing that it’s not the prototype it would make sense but I guess there’s no way to know except by riding both
@cirocapa9214 I'm not saying that they're worse but if they managed to design that ride properly they would've managed to make it completely safe to ride without injury.
Just got back from Japan, and went to Fuji Q. This ride was incredible! 0-112 in less then 2 secs. Went on 3 times and you still never expect that launch!!!
Fun fact: This ride pulls 3.43 g's during the launch. So basically, this is what you ride when you want to experience a rocket launch, without the need for the rocket.
Except it lasts 2 minutes in a rocket ship. Not less than 1.5s. So no, you did not experience anything even a tiny bit remotely close to a rocket launch lol.
I heard the staff is the one who decides the launch timing and they mess with the timing some time. When I rode the old dodonpa, they waited for like 3 seconds after the countdown then it launched right when I got into "oh, not yet?" mode.
Well rob you just experienced what a pilot feels when a jet gets launched off a aircraft carrier Edit: HOLY CRAP 17 likes thanks for highlighting my comment ROB!!! Love your work
Andrew Rivera well actually the g force experienced is like that of being launched in the space shuttle. Xcelerator or top thrill dragster would be like an aircraft carrier
i have been on this coaster - no video will ever do it justice. notice that people start screaming of swearing after leaving the tunnel. because until them you are still processing the g's on your body and just the insane accelaration. It is not overstated when stated that, it feels like you moved so fast that you left your shadow behind.
@@fwutig1121 Do-Dodonpa is uses compressed air for the launch system. Whenever you build an air powered roller coaster in RollerCoaster Tycoon, its default name is Air Powered Coaster 1.
I went on this recently, what a rush!! The anticipation before the launch was killing me but omg the launch was INSANE and the vids just can't do it justice as to how intense it actually is!
To give that acceleration some scale, Kingda Ka's acceleration is 53.6 ft/s^2. Formula Rossa's acceleration is 54.7 ft/s^2. Do-Dodonpa's acceleration is 102.6 ft/s^2!!! I need to get on this coaster ASAP!
Dodonpa's name comes from the Japanese anime Dragon Ball. The name of the technique of Tenshinhan, Tao Pai Pai and Chaoz. With love from Japan.😇 say dodonpa!
In case you haven't heard.... This coaster has officially been shut down. 4-6 people have suffered broken backs or necks, so they've closed the ride for the time being
Did this again two days ago for the first time since its reopening with the faster speed and loop. It didn't disappoint. About the only way civilian will experience a cat shot.
I am LOVING that loop.. such hang time, when going so fast. really appreciate the "rider view" of you. . it shows just how fast one is traveling, even tho we KNOW it's fast, seeing your reactions really cements exactly how fast it's going. i'd be in line for this sucker to ride it right away!
Dam I so want to ride a rollercoaster with Robb one day. I know dam well he will make the ride much better because of his reactions. They are priceless.
Robb I gotta be honest, your commentary is just the most hilarious thing. Idk how people complain about your commentary. I think other coaster POV channels should have someone like you give funny commentary on roller coasters.
What makes you think that I would ride the roller coaster if I can't even ride expedition Everest in animal kingdom without being the loudest person screaming + passing out 😂😂
Aaargh, I so tried to fit it into my trip to Japan last year and couldn't... I SO WANT TO RIDE! That launch has to be EPIC. Gives aircraft carriers a run for their money. Gotta try this someday! :D
Maybe he's Japanese. After all, the ride's in Japan. I speak fluent Japanese and I'm going on this ride two years from now when my senior Japanese class goes to Japan.
I've been on most of the tallest, fastest & quickest coasters in the world, and this one looks intense! I will have to visit Japan one day and ride it, as well as the one full circuit lift hill Giga that I'm missing...Steel Dragon 2000. (Still also need Red Force & Tower Of Terror)
I deeeeeeefinitely couldn’t ride this since I got brain surgery and have epilepsy, but if I could, even though I normally didn’t used to do rides with loops, I honestly think I’d try this ride. It just looks so insane (and definitely rough), but so wildly fun, like wow. This was a great video
I love this new video style! and yes... I'd love to ride :)

I did the announcements for that ride. After the 3-2-1 I say Do Dodopa- but the ride is gone by that time.

It launches so hard that your ancestors feel it. Faster than you can even comprehend, so much fun.
Here just after discovering that it is now closed forever. It was fun while it lasted!!
Way to keep it family friendly on the launch, 😂
For the first part
I don't understand how it's possible to break your back on this guy
I mean when it’s going 0 to 112mph in 1.5 seconds, I’m not surprised it hurts
I think it’s because people don’t understand the launch and lean forward then when it launches they go back really quickly and break a bone
From leaning forward during the launch of the coaster, then you get thrown violently backwards from whiplash and break bones

1) its insanely fast
2) Alvey cant complain on lift hills
