Kingda Ka - launch viewed from station
มุมมอง 67114 ปีที่แล้ว
Finally managed to get two rides on Kingda Ka on a great Fall day at Six Flags Great Adventure (devoid of the Summer crowd madness). First ride was in the front, which is fairly insane. I still like Top Thrill Dragster, but riding this you can tell that there is more speed and height.
SFGAdv Evolution 1999 HD (reloaded in HD)
มุมมอง 3K14 ปีที่แล้ว
Evolution at Six Flags Great Adventure - 1999-2002 - one of only three Giant Evolution rides built by Ronald Bussink (Nauta, Bussink, & Bailey). This ride rarely operated in the four years that it was at SFGAdv. I should consider myself lucky to have caught the Evolution running on two of my trips to the park. Note: At less than 720p this video will appear to skip frames making the rotation les...

Great Escape - Comet
มุมมอง 39K17 ปีที่แล้ว
When Charles Wood purchased the Comet in 1989 it was hoped that the Great Escape would be the new home. In 1994 that came true and since then this has been the centerpiece ride for The Great Escape. This Herb Schmeck designed wooden classic coaster has been a top ten ride from the time it was built alongside Lake Erie at Crystal Beach (Ontario, Canada) until the present day.

    It looked better than it was. The tabs didn’t spin very much it was almost impossible to go upside down all the way and see you did a lot of rocking hand cavorting around but I never really did much of anything. I think after they built it they realize that their cars just don’t move as freely as they had hoped. If this had been more fun, they would’ve built 100 of them or more because there was a big demand for it. There was so little demand for it, that many places after just a year or two or three, converted their turbo to the radar because people were not riding it again and again or coming back the next year to ride it. It looked Fantastic and like it was going to give the zipper a run for it’s money. But it never lived up to the hype. In fact the radar was much more fun to ride.

    This was the very BEST amusement park ride EVER! I got to ride it at the L.A. County Fair in the 70's, and again at a carnival some time later. Then it disappeared and I've been looking for it since. I could never understand why it was not more popular. However, I understand that it took a long time to load, and this made it inefficient. GREAT RIDE though! What a loss!

  • @veelalynne
    @veelalynne 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah...I was nearly killed on that damn ride. The door swung open while riding with my father. If he hadn't jammed his arms and legs across the capsule until the carnie stopped the ride, we would have surely fallen to our deaths. You can see that the restraint is in the door and if the door opens mid-ride... Still, I loved that ride and I would probably ride it again if the restraints were improved.

  • @donlessard581

    Well if the one in playland i converting to open seating it will be a raven or radar. thats to bad i was hopeing for an orignal turbo but glad it is being restored.

  • @j_reaume5248
    @j_reaume5248 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Three Chance Turbo's are currently in the restoration process and the one for Playland Vancouver is being reworked to use open seating by Chance. There is one in California that is partially restored as well as Bell's Turbo in NSW, Australia undergoing restoration. A few Turbo's have been scrapped in the last ten years and a few are in limbo. There are a few Raven/Radar's out there (the Turbo's cousin)

  • @donlessard581
    @donlessard581 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    There were 26 chance turbos made.the reason you don't see many turbos any more is because alot of carnival owners left them to collect rust on there lots shame. rumor has it that the one in china was bought by playland in vancover canada and will debut in 2016 i hope this is true.
