Strange Roller Coasters

To be fair, I bet the first ride would be pretty good fun! 
Anyway, here's what is possibly the most grim place on earth...

Anyway, here's what is possibly the most grim place on earth...

When you’re a kid, theme parks are a place where your dream can come to life. Wouldn’t it be great to feel that excitement once again?
In search of that childlike wonder, one of RocketNews24’s reporters recently visited the Lecian Grand Carnaval amusement park in Mandaue City on Cebu Island, in the Philippines. While it doesn’t have the high-tech animatronics and pyrotechnics of Disneyland, it offers plenty of old-fashioned attractions like a tilt-a-whirl and haunted house, plus a life-endangering roller coaster and very lenient napping policy.
“When I saw the gate that welcomes visitors to the park, I felt a little uneasy,” our correspondent told us. “Not just because it looked like it was slapped together from a few bucks’ worth of cheap lumber, but because I didn’t see any other customers, nor attendants for that matter.”

"See all this? Yeah, you're not getting any of this!"

Inside:

The park has one of those rides where you sit in chairs that rise up into the air from the centrifugal force. It wasn’t running, and we think it may have been being used as some sort of dryer, judging from the laundry hanging on the fence around it.

The coaster:

Aside looking like the seat and rails are ready to fall apart at any time, there’s no safety equipment of any kind. Working day in and day out next to the unparalleled terror of the coaster must have desensitized its operator though, who we find napping comfortably underneath one of the cars.

The dark ride:

I would not venture into 'The Dark House' under any circumstance.

Here's another strange coaster (idea) that NASA have been considering as a means of escape for their astronauts, in case a launch goes wrong and they need to evacuate from their rocket quickly and safely into an underground bunker far enough from the rocket (before it explodes
). I posted about it a while ago but I've found more concept art so I figured I'd share the lot again:
You've got to admit, this would be one of the best credits ever (also one of the scariest if it were ridden in the context it was designed to be used for
)! The Kennedy Space Center (Centre) should consider building one for tourists! 
Coaster-Net has more on it here.

RCDB shared pictures of a kiddie coaster in a Brazilian shopping centre which looks like a cross between a Pinfari and an Arrow:

Looks like anyone bigger than a child riding it and it would collapse it looks that flimsy.
