Nope. The world's longest coaster, an alpine coaster in Andorra is more than double the length of this thing (I believe it's got 5.3 kilometers of track). For an alpine coaster you know that means a longer lift. And apparently Spain is going to be taking the record from them soon, about an hour and a half away from the current record holder. That region doesn't get enough attention for soon to be having the 2 longest coasters in the world (and presumably the tallest too going off elevation change).
I think this person is just like intentionally dragging it out with the hand brake. They should've been a lot faster in too many places & I think that "track whoosh" sound is the brake being constantly engaged. I guess they were trying to highlight the views, which is a waste of time as recorded images never do justice to the actual scenery. Lame videos of "thrill rides" are awesome! If I want to watch pretty "scenic videos" I can find some slow gondola vlog to watch 👍
No kidding! The rhythm of the tik-tok nearly put me to sleep! I fully expected a cartoon mouse to be at the top to say: "I thought you'd never get here!"
I've only ever done these on courses through forests and over nice grassy hills - the hard stoniness of the desert and the epic views really make this seem more exposed and exciting. well done.
For those who are critical of the long climb stop and think about it for a minute the ride starts its downhill run from the top of a mountain that doesn’t have any road access to it. To build a road up there would cost a fortune so it’s far cheaper to build a long hill climb for the sled. Would you rather pay a huge amount to be able to drive up there or what they charge and get a ride up in the sled that takes 7 minutes.
I live in the UAE but i had no idea such a thing existed, not even the fact that we had such stunning views???? I thought it was shot in the us or smth. Thank you for the awesome video and experience!
I really thought this rollercoaster ride was going to be the longest uphill ride ever!!! However the action FINALLY starts at around 7:23 From then on, it's time to hang on tight for your dear life 😅
Actually you do. There are handlebars on the side of the vehicle so you can slow down throughout the ride course if you want to. We elected to go full speed the whole time.
I thought the coaster was going to last like 20 minutes after that hill. But it went so fast. Also, NOPE, just a tiny cart speeding on a rail with a seemingly infinite drop below.
Longer than any of the alpine coasters I've ridden but still only half the length of the world's longest coaster in Andorra that doesn't get the attention it deserves for holding that record. I really hope to ride one of the bigger alpine coasters one of these days.
@CoasterStudios I was watching it in a big screen in 4k and noticed that thing highlighted in the blue sky in top right from 0:14 to 0:45, did you catch a UFO in the video or is that something else? BTW the ride is pretty cool 👍
11 months ago i rode on roller coaster in my city. But it was too scary for me so when it finally stopped i told my parents to go home. I also cried when i was talking that to them! Now im not riding roller coasters because of this one in my city which made me PTSD 😢.
Very interesting. There's something chill about the climb up with the silence except for the constant clack of the tracks. I will say, idk if that length of climb is worth the ride, but maybe in person it hits different. The views are definitely incredible. Also, some idiot kid is ABSOLUTELY breaking a foot or leg by keeping it outside the car lol
the brakes are automatic. the rider has the option to limit the speed even further with handlebars on the side to slow the vehicle down more, but the ride will come to a stop at the end regardless of if you use them
Interesting to know that's the UAE. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed that was Southern Arizona, or maybe Mexico. I mean absolutely no offense. I live there, and I just personally hate the look of dead earth. God bless anyone who's commenting about "beautiful views," but I think you're all insane. Grass is always greener, even if there's no grass, I guess. I can't stand living in such a hellscape (we're in the process of getting ready to sell our home and move). Nothing but inhospitable death in every direction for hundreds of square miles. Roller coaster be damned. Water is beautiful. Trees are beautiful. This may as well be Mars.

very true
Were the brakes stuck on ?
This needs the record for the longest lift hill 😂

@@inspectit210 Alpine coasters often have auto breaking.

Many times, I thought you were at the top; many times, I was wrong.
This is my dream roller coaster. No crazy loops. Just a wonderful ride and amazing views.
lol well the lift hill takes so long it will give u a dream till the most enjoyable part :D
yeeeesssssss totally agree 👍🏻:D
For the people wondering: The ride starts at 7:23 (Yes, the lifthill is that long...)
After watching the lift hill for seven minutes, the view hit hard!
yeah go on a long hike to a cool view, the view will hit even harder
I always love when the lift hill is 80% of the experience.
You should try to ride the mountain coasters in Switzerland, they are the best in the world IMO, the alps are just so stunning
Rodelbahn Berg Bis Tal in Interlaken is probably the most unexpectedly intense alpine coaster I've been on
GREAT ADMIRATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ON SUCH CRAZY TERRAIN! WOW!!💯
Where's my skip to the top gang?
7:23
I’m here!😂
I just double the speed and enjoy the ride.
@@dougmartin7129Thanks for that tip!
Wheres my skip to the bottom gang
I've only ever done these on courses through forests and over nice grassy hills - the hard stoniness of the desert and the epic views really make this seem more exposed and exciting. well done.
the random glimpses of other riders now and then, and their yells, makes it the more surreal.
Don’t get me wrong
This looks pretty fun and wild. And those views are incredible. But it’s funny how over half the video it’s a chill lift hill.

Wow that's incredible. I'm 66 and I would ride that. That must of cost a lot to build. Thanks for the ride!
Those views are incredible! Now THAT"S a mountain coaster!
I live in the UAE but i had no idea such a thing existed, not even the fact that we had such stunning views???? I thought it was shot in the us or smth. Thank you for the awesome video and experience!
Amazing.
It goes faster going up and slower going down.
What a crashing bore this was.
i was going to say. "WOW" over one mile worth of fun! Till I see that there is 1/2 mile worth of incline. 🤣
“The anticipation is killing me …. I hope it will last.“
The Fun starts at 7:20 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks 😊
I really thought this rollercoaster ride was going to be the longest uphill ride ever!!! However the action FINALLY starts at around 7:23
From then on, it's time to hang on tight for your dear life 😅
I love the "slow down" sign at the end...as if you'd have any control over that.
Actually you do. There are handlebars on the side of the vehicle so you can slow down throughout the ride course if you want to. We elected to go full speed the whole time.
@@CoasterStudios I was wondering about that Slow Down sign, too. So, it's like an Alpine Slide?
Why don't we have this kind of awesomeness here in the states? This would be such a hit!
There’s actually a ton of these in the U.S.! There’s 10 alone in the pigeon forge/Gatlinburg area of Tennessee!
@@CoasterStudios Well TY for the info, I had no idea!
be funny if the video just ended after the third lifthill
Ok!?!? Ok!?!? Haha
Oh yeah 😂
Yes! And then you had to walk all the way back down... 🤣
7:39 it started to sound like a beat for a second 😂
I had trouble staying straight up in my seat watching this. Beautiful views!
One can easily take a nap while the coaster is moving uphill ))
Kudos to the guys who paved and placed the lift you see at the start! :o
I thought the coaster was going to last like 20 minutes after that hill. But it went so fast. Also, NOPE, just a tiny cart speeding on a rail with a seemingly infinite drop below.
I wish Six Flags would make more rides like this. Instead they produce blender vomit machines one after the other.
Longer than any of the alpine coasters I've ridden but still only half the length of the world's longest coaster in Andorra that doesn't get the attention it deserves for holding that record. I really hope to ride one of the bigger alpine coasters one of these days.
Those Wiegand lift hills are something else. Legendary.
That looks quite fun. Beautiful views too!
VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...
A lot slower than I was expecting. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
The interesting part starts at 7:20. Don't waste your time
I like how the first six minutes is just getting to the top 😄
Dang that first sharp turn!😮
Fantastic !! Thanks from Detroit 🇺🇸
You guys should make a video on Skyrush new restraints!
i'm sure they will when they get back stateside. really curious on their thoughts of I 305 and Intimidator losing there theming.
Yea when are they coming back to Florida?
Donde queda ese sitio?
after 7 mins climbing up begins 3 mins fun of sliding down!
And the trip as officially started🎉 can’t wait for Ferrari world!
This ride should charge for the climb up! Anticipation!
Neato! Interesting that you have to be careful for mountain goats.
This reminds me of an old game called Myst - Riven. Looks like something you would have to ride in the game to get to the next level.
I loved the views🌵🌞
Damn that was a long ride to the top. I blinked and missed the trip down
Wow! that is so cool and that view is breathtaking.
Soaking in the view on the way up 👌
Long lift hill video with bonus downhill section at end ! 😂
The first 3 minutes is definitely the beginning of a Tool song
Wow that looks really good and a bit more intense than usual alpine coasters. What do you guys put it vs similar ones around the world?
this one really built up a lot of speed, but unfortunately also slowed down at multiple points
@CoasterStudios I was watching it in a big screen in 4k and noticed that thing highlighted in the blue sky in top right from 0:14 to 0:45, did you catch a UFO in the video or is that something else? BTW the ride is pretty cool 👍
Yeah what is that?? Looks similar to the Mosul orb. Weird.
I'll never complain about a long lift hill again xD
You also have them in germany. But just alot more interesting, as you have more activities in the area.
7min of my life back who wants to see you acccend
Not nearly as fast as many in Europe though. The ones in the Alps are crazy!
What beautiful trees🙄
Lol at the lift hill but those views are amazing
11 months ago i rode on roller coaster in my city. But it was too scary for me so when it finally stopped i told my parents to go home. I also cried when i was talking that to them! Now im not riding roller coasters because of this one in my city which made me PTSD 😢.
I love how literally 3/4 of the video is just the lift hill.
Scenic rollercoaster
This looks so awsome i want a shot lol
5:00 Far right: I'ma tell my kids that's a runaway sled ramp 😉
Finally one I would use the brake for.
Pretty awesome views. Looks like you're on Mars!
So many cameras!
Looks fun.
How tall is this? And if it's in a hyper/giga/strata range, would you consider it as belonging to any of those categories?
I feel sorry for the people who built this in the blazing desert heat.
Cool beat climbing up
This reminded me of the mine cart ride from that puzzle game called Riven.
There is amazing and wonderful coaster
This is fun for someone who has nothing else to do😂
7 mins of this purely the various lift hills. No joke.....
This is insane
This video was great, I got my boxfan and sat out on my patio and saved myself $15.00 ( or whatever the cost of the ticket was )
This scardy-cat was breaking the whole way.
Very interesting. There's something chill about the climb up with the silence except for the constant clack of the tracks. I will say, idk if that length of climb is worth the ride, but maybe in person it hits different. The views are definitely incredible.

So beautiful but the lift is crazy
lmaoo half the coster is gettin to the top😂
That has got to be the slowest Roller Coaster I have ever seen. It's like watching paint dry.
That is awesome.
Thanks.
Cool ride
Thank God the people that control the brakes on that track know what they're doing
the brakes are automatic. the rider has the option to limit the speed even further with handlebars on the side to slow the vehicle down more, but the ride will come to a stop at the end regardless of if you use them
I found myself leaning into the curves while I was sitting on the couch watching it.
This POV taught me a lot about Taylor's footwear choices.
W footwear choices.
@@calvinpetty343 Because the shoes show up in a lot of this footage.
They need a ski lift for this like the Alpine Slides
Chain lift:the ride!!!
Makes you wonder how they built this up a massive hill. Mustve taken years.
Awesome 🎉

Way too much fun time wasted climbing !!! Not worth it
Says you.
Have you watched the new animation of Georgia Surfer that was released by SFOG themselves 3 days ago? If so, would love see your analysis on it.
8:15 those latterals!
How massive that is the labor and materials to do this I cannot comprehend and the cost is does take a little
Long to get to top
Oh look it's the mountain coaster I was told didn't exist. Almost like I know what I'm talking about
