Strange Roller Coasters

[Dan]

Unsure if this has already been posted, just stumbled upon this on YouTube and couldn’t believe it was real.

Genuinely does look like an in game planet coaster blueprint.

Also judging by the comments it’s at a park that isn’t really that busy. It’s actually quite funny looking at the surroundings as there’s pretty much nothing around.

I’ve been on this ride. It’s not bad but the woodie is the best ride at the park. A lot of theme parks in China are built because the government mandates builders to build specific leisure facilities in order to get permission to build a lot of properties in a specific area. This is why a lot of parks have shopping malls right outside the park entrance and also why you don’t see many parks adding new coasters

A glance at the layout and you might mistake this for a normal children's coaster...

But the POV shows the weirdness in full flow along with the mandatory Air Horn.

It's like a Zamperla Twin Helix and a Holandia Lunapark coaster had a baby

With a throughput like that I can see this being Chessingtons next instalation.

Recently had just read about this on Richard Bannister’s excellent website detailing his trip reports.

What do you get when you cross an alpine coaster, a ski lift and... Duel...??

Erm... Don't think we have a "strange theme park toilets" topic, do we?

My 300th Cred. It's as silly as it seems.

Valley of the Gnomes at Fiabilandia!

So much fun that coaster and a lovely little park.

Switchback at ZDTs in Seguin, Texas.

The worlds only wooden boomerang coaster.

From IAAPA today ZDTs have put it up for sale, so if you want a piece of coaster history get your offers in now!

It's an amazing coaster, hurtles through an old building!

Someone forward to Mandy. I think I’ve found the replacement for The Big One.

They've fully embraced the new trademark B&M rattle and then some!

It looks wonderfully awful.

"Mum can we have a Speed: No Limits?"

Mum: We have Speed: No Limits at home.

Good lord, the profiling of that makes a 1990s era Vekoma SLC look like a masterpiece.

Is this true? The first wacky worm? haha the first one looks the best and the longest!

 

[Poisson]

What in the Ron Toomer is that first hill as well

It is. The popular transportable model was inspired by Valle Degli Gnomi.

I dunno, but it looks like the airtime would be nuts.
