Strange Roller Coasters

Is it me or do those look like Recaros you can get in cars?

Funny when you get a shed load of people coming down the at the same time, looks absolutely brilliant!! I wouldn't fancy the walk to the top for a go mind you, and have no idea how the cars get up there, a big life I presume.

Ha-ha!! Fantastic looking ride though, well found :) - less strange though and more WANT A GO!!
 
Usually rides like that in my exprience load you at the bottom, you sit in the car, and it goes up a chain lift before you go off.
 
I really want a go on that. Right now. ;)

Love the headchopper under the little wooden bridge as well, also love the fast steep bits. Kind of like the Steeplechase at BPB but a bit less like a monorail and more like a hypercoaster :p
 
So when is the meet to ride this again...? ;)

If you have to go to the top to ride, use the cable car :p

A chain lift?! I think you've been looking at some fancy alpine coasters there! Most I've seen use a chairlift which they dangle your tea tray car from beneath you. Then when you arrive at the top pop it on the track and off you go :p

I still think the best example I've seen is the Roddelbahn. It looks insane :p

Plus it'd take about 2 days to get to the top of that mountain at chainlift speed ;)

Don't talk such nonsense in my presence!
 
A log flume crossed with a roller coaster that's included on RCDB? Credit, obviously! :p

And from the same park is this thing...

I have a feeling someone may have posted that ride before, unless I'm just mixing it up with having watched it myself a while back? Anyway, it's also on RCDB here.

Notice at 1:46 on the POV above that after the small MCBR there's a missing section of track. I wonder if the change has anything to do with the modifications listed on RCDB which apparently took place in 1985?

That would have been me. Both of them, in fact... You're welcome ;)
 
 
I'd hardly call myself a credit whore compared to a lot of people round these parts. :-[
 
Well I say master credit whore because you're usually the one to say how a ride is a coaster credit, even if there's not much about a ride that should make it qualify as being a coaster! :p
 
Not sure if this has already been posted, but here's Cobra at Conny-Land in Switzerland:
