Horrifying Family Coasters

Is that a Drag Race contestant ?

Just two nightmares rolled into one I think!

 

[Rick]

Is there anything remotely endearing about this ?

 

[Rick]

I've got nothing.

Never realised how unique all these Big Apple style coasters are! I thought there were just a handful of manufacturers that each had a ride vehicle they use on 90% of their models. But based on this thread it looks like everyone gets a unique train. And they are all horrifying!

There are a lot of the standard ones around the world but for every ten of those you get those that someone's decided to try their creativity out on! Usually it's a mistake...

They you've got those knock off ones in places like Russia and the former Soviet states that really don't look as convincing (or safe!) as I'm sure their owners intended!

EDIT: Like this one in Tbilisi



God knows what is going on with that track - any structural engineers want to comment?

That's standard Pinfari Big Apple style track

Definite drug abuser that one.

Is it just me or does that one look like a Pokémon?

Love the coaster but you have to say there's something disturbing about a train having a face like this

Those Troublesome Truck faces always used to creep me out as a kid when I was watching Thomas the Tank Engine. I think they could have done a lot worse tbh!

The creepy cage ...

 

[Skyscraper]

The creepy cage ...

That's one way to stop kids climbing out

The creepy cage ...

Looks like some form of jolly torture device.

"Roller Coaster" at Tamanna World Family Park, Bangladesh

I especially enjoy the serial killer energy from the 2nd image.

That's the one that doesn't have a station/breaks so they stop it on the lift hill for on and off load.

 

[Poisson]

SBF Visa are terrible. Somehow somebody made something WORSE in regards to station/brakes?!

 

[Rick]

Disabled access aside, that doesn't seem like a crazy way to do things in some ways.

Definitely ticks the horrifying box though, kudos.

I always think those Jungle Mouse coasters that seem ten-a-penny in Asia have some gems.

For example, remember when Mickey walked in on Minnie and Goofy getting it on?




Alternatively, that time Mick went on Towie and got his tan and teeth done especially.
