im with her dad... hang in there buddy shes not even in high school!

Went to Magic Mountain in CA years ago and got on a ride similar to this, except it was the giant Viking Ship/Space Shuttle, etc which swung back and forth, as well as up and over. This type of ride has two sides of passengers facing each other, blocked by a central wall (where the pivot arm is attached). As we went up and over, although we couldn't actually see the people on the other side, we could tell that they were spitting, potentially covering people on our side with spit once we swung back down. Everyone was getting pissed and yelling at them to stop. Once the ride ended, we all piled out, ready for a fight, only to be greeted by an army of green-faced, empty-stomached Japanese tourists exiting the other side of the ride. So, yeah....it wasn't spit...

This has a lot of cool elements to it. he looks genuinely uncomfortable, and then that subtle look of relief hits his face when he can tell the ride is slowing down and it's almost over.

Great video. Dad of the year

He screams "Oh shit!" at around 0:26.

Gotta love the contrast between the sheer terror in the dad's face, and the sheer exhilaration in the daughter's!

I love how he tries taking his hands off the second time 'round. Talk about facing your fear. Awesome!

I wonder if they could sell videos instead of pictures to patrons after they get off of the ride. There must be some interesting social and legal issues for such a product.

My brother-in-law is like this guy. He out and out refuses to do any roller coasters or big rides like this at themeparks, etc. I'm with him on some stuff, like I probably would never do this ride but I've done others slightly less extreme and enjoyed them.

I remember seeing something on this on TV years ago. That some people just have a gene switched so where others feel exhilaration and a high from big death-defying rides like this, these people feel out and out terror. You gotta feel sorry for the dad here, though he's a good dad for riding it anyway for his kid.

Swear I heard the Wilhelm scream at least a couple times.

It's important to let your kids know that they are more capable and fearless than you. Otherwise you aren't doing your job.

I didn't notice it on my first viewing but I'll bet those seats are yellow on purpose.
