Transcript: The Top Roller Coasters in the World
Two animated brains move over a line maze. Two chomping halves of an animated pink brain join together. Text on banners over the brain reads, “Hungry Brain!”
[Upbeat music plays]
A voice says, HUNGRY BRAIN!
[Upbeat music plays, marker squeaking, roller coaster rattling]
An artist draws two people with safety bars pulled over their chests. Their hair flies above their heads.
A narrator says, DO YOU LIKE THRILLS, SPILLS, AND... WHOA! GET ME OFF OF THIS THING! PHEW! THAT INTRO WAS QUITE THE ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS. HERE'S THE TOP ON THE MOST IMPRESSIVE ROLLERCOASTERS IN THE WORLD.
Episode title: Top of the Most Impressive Roller Coasters in the World.
[Marker scratching, gentle music plays, dinging]
The artist draws the number four.
The narrator says, NUMBER 4: THE WORLD'S OLDEST WOODEN ROLLERCOASTER.
[Marker scratching]
The artist draws a roller coaster.
The narrator says, LEAP-THE-DIPS WAS BUILT IN 1902 BY EDWARD JOY MORRIS. THIS GRANDDADDY OF ROLLERCOASTERS IS STILL PACKING THE THRILLS TO THIS DAY. IT'S SITUATED IN LAKEMONT PARK, PENNSYLVANIA, THE VERITABLE PROTOTYPE FOR THE MODERN AMUSEMENT PARK.
[Marker scratching, whimpering]
The artist draws a child running towards the roller coaster, holding the hand of a person standing still.
The narrator says, UH, I'M GONNA WAIT THIS ONE OUT.
[Marker scratching, gentle music plays, dinging]
The artist draws the number three.
The narrator says, NUMBER 3: A LONG RIDE IN THE AIR.
[Dinging, marker scratching]
The artist draws a roller coaster with two tall hills. Text reads, “2.4 kilometres.” “Four minutes.”
The narrator says, THE STEEL DRAGON 2000 MAY BE MORE THAN 2.4 KILOMETRES LONG, BUT IT ONLY TAKES FOUR MINUTES TO RIDE. SINCE OPENING IN 2000, IT HAS RETAINED ITS STATUS AS LONGEST METAL ROLLERCOASTER IN THE WORLD.
[Whimpering]
A person looks at the roller coaster.
The narrator says, IT HAS A VERTICAL CLIMB OF 96 M ETRESAND A BONE-SHAKING RAPID DESCENT, BUT IT'S MOST FAMOUS FOR ITS TUNNEL. THE CARS ENTER IT AT A SPEED OF 150 KILOMETRES PER HOUR AND COME TO A JITTERING HALT, DEFYING BOTH THE LAWS OF GRAVITY AND MY ABILITY TO KEEP MY LUNCH DOWN.
[Tires screeching, stomach grumbling, marker scratching]
The artist draws a crane lifting track into place. Nearby, a man with a pencil tucked behind his ear looks at blueprints.
The narrator says, IT REQUIRED MOUNTAINS OF STEEL TO BUILD, AND THE FINAL COST WAS - KA-CHING - 50 MILLION DOLLARS.
[Screaming]
The man with the pencil’s mouth falls open.
The narrator says, THINK THEY GOT TAKEN FOR A RIDE THERE.
[Marker scratching, gentle music plays, dinging]
The artist draws the number two.
The narrator says, NUMBER 2: HIGHER AND HIGHER.
[Marker scratching, roller coaster rumbling]
The artist draws a steep roller coaster. Text reads, “139 metres.”
The narrator says, THE TALLEST ROLLERCOASTER IN THE WORLD, AT 139 METRES, IS CALLED KINGDA KA IN THE AMERICAN CITY OF JACKSON. THE SPEED COMBINED WITH GRAVITATIONAL FORCE QUADRUPLES THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGERS ON THE FIRST DESCENT. "WEIGH" TO GO! THE RIDE OWES ITS NAME TO ONE OF THE TIGERS IN THE AMUSEMENT PARK.
[Screaming, boy gulping, marker scratching]
The artist draws a tiger behind the seat of a boy on the roller coaster.
The narrator says, IT WAS ALSO THE FASTEST RIDE FOR A WHILE. THAT WAS UNTIL THE CREATION OF...
[Screaming, marker scratching, gentle music plays, dinging]
The artist draws the number one.
The narrator says, NUMBER 1: THE FORMULA ROSSA.
[Marker scratching, rumbling]
The artist draws two riders in a roller coaster car.
The narrator says, YOU CAN FIND THIS RIDE IN THE FERRARI WORLD AMUSEMENT PARK IN ABU DHABI, THE CAPITAL OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. THIS RIDE ALLOWS VISITORS TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME SENSATIONS AS A FORMULA ONE DRIVER.
[Screaming]
The artist draws one of the riders with his mouth open.
The narrator says, SINCE OPENING IN 2010, IT'S CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE FASTEST RIDES IN THE WORLD WITH A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 240 KILOMETRES PER HOUR, REACHED IN JUST 4.9 SECONDS.
[Marker scratching, dinging]
The artist draws a boy with his arm around another boy’s shoulder. Text reads, “240 kilometres per hour. 4.9 seconds.”
The narrator says, FULL SPEED AHEAD!
[Upbeat music continues]
