Love seeing my hometown park and my daughter working in the vid this was great

Gone Dola

Skyline has had major problems with all of their installations😊

Ugh....skyline...I can't believe they are still selling rides...lol

We need a video about Huss Top Spin working and curiosities. Such a classic!

Watched it partially derail while backing into the station, a few months ago.

Loved the intro! I'm enjoying the info and your video style :)

Isn't this the one they talked about being super easy construction built with only rivets?

Just gotta say I love the way you pronounce gondola! Lol

It runs rough. I rode both sides of this thing and it is not smooth. I mean no traditional unstops. Using the guide wheels at a freakin angle to act as an upstop. Trying to reinvent the wheel on these things. They just need to stop and keep it simple stupid

Almost as reliable as the Skywarp model. Skyline only creates junk!

I am still baffled as to why Six Flags went back to Skyline after the massive failure that was their first project. I assume Skyline misrepresented how much the projects would cost in order to undercut other (more reputable) manufacturers.

Too bad. I mean, the lighting package on those was cool, but why is anyone buying anything that resembles a roller coaster off of Skyline?

Skyline should stick to chili

Was this at Fiesta or Over Georgia?

Isn't the track fabricated by RMC? Everything skyline touches turns to 💩. This is over Georgia? Nope Texas.

not surprised this looks like a piece of cheap trash. It won’t hurt to spend a little more on a real ride. Just remove it already. I feel like I could build this if I really wanted to.

Here's a fitting meme for you. There is a documentary from the 1960's on a railway in Wales named the "Talyllyn Railway." At 9:06 the narrator says, "DERAILED" after a train derails on film due to bad track. The railway still exists and they show that clip often in TH-cam videos. 😆 🚂 🎢

They don’t know how to build a roller coaster. Why would someone purchase it. I got to ride both sides of that last month. It felt like the coaster was rolling over the top of Legos.

With the safety bars not aligning that was intentional final destination always makes the setting look off to make the setting look uneasy I think there's also elements of Alfred hitchcock's bomb theory in highlighting the flaws that no one notices that leads up to the disaster

What and how does one become a mechanic for a amusement park like cedar point?

So sad! A buddy of mine and his wife traveled from Arkansas to the UK and were hoping to ride Hyperia. No luck. Great intro as always 😂😂

Bruh why there isn’t a system on the computer system that literally does a simple thing such as dividing that angle value it measures to value from a timer to derivate the angular speed and if it ever stays at zero for more than a set time, just ramp up the motors to a great level like 30-40 for it to escape being stuck.. Use a super capacitor or battery powered system so it activates automatically when power is lost

When I was a ride I, our SLC went down with a train full of passengers stuck in the station because the floor wouldn’t come back up. So we were entertaining the crowd on the train and in the station while waiting for maintenance and when they arrived it was like a hero’s welcome. Even better when they finally unloaded the train it was such a dramatic moment lol

Final Destination 3 = say you don’t have money to build a roller coaster without saying you don’t have money to build a roller coaster 🎢

You defaced Thomas the Train?! 😱 NGL I would've enjoyed scaring the kids a little too much with something like that myself lol

I'm riding Hyperia on Wednesday, and it will be my second attempt. I'm praying I will ride

7:55 This is the same thing for train movement. Mechanical can move trains with minimal protection within the yard, train crews have a different set of rules and a lot of limitations in the yard. We as transportation (the revenue train crew) cannot do anything at all until it is released to us. Once it is released to us we of course have to make sure that everyone is clear before we move it if we had to have mechanical return to check anything, but they do not require the same level of protection that we require, as far as dropping electrical and such, though we typically give them the most protection we can give them in any scenario. When we have people on board, or are on main tracks, they cannot do anything. If we are at a station they can open a door to get in or out themselves, and fix stuff inside the train, but they cannot do anything at all, even something they might be more qualified to do than transportation. Even when we had a dead train set stuck at a station on a main track, nobody was on, and it was more of a 2 person job to break apart the train because of some defect, it came down to the engineer needing to help out, because mechanical rules do not qualify them on main tracks.

Windseeker Operator: We’re calling maintenance Ryan: *starts getting flashbacks 😂.

15:50

came for the intro stayed for the information

I think more than likely it is legal related, but for other reasons based on what I've seen behind the scenes. Time will tell and if it's delayed due to the board, I highly doubt Six Flags is planning to pay the bill in this case in any capacity and if these discussions are happening a legal dispute is likely brewing beyond what has already started.

If you are ever in the Cleveland Ohio area I am a bowling center mechanic Id give ya a tour of the machines!

Zamperla were the ones selling the lightning trains as an a brand new innovative technological breakthrough for the amusement ride industry. Cedar Point did a whole rollout simply about the trains. It seems like the primary envelope being pushed from the engineering perspective was the trains. Could the trains be defective? How would that be determined? How would that play out? If the trains were defective, would that jeopardize the ride altogether?

If you watch a magic mountain Goliath POV, right after the mid course the curve is covered in black gook. Do you think it is lube to stop valleys or just crap from the chain?

best intro's in all of TH-cam

Awesome intro. Lol. Loved bringing tt2 into it...thanks zamcrapa...excuse me zamperla....my bad. Who knows when we see it back.

considering that top spins already have a hinge im suprised that huss never made a waikiki wave derivative

Remember the old saying, LUBRICATION LUBRICATION LUBRICATION 🤣. Grease it up and slip it in, I mean slip it on and make it go. Me bad 😉😁

What about the rubber compound of the wheels? Similarly to an F1 race where they have hard and soft tires... Harder tires moving faster than the softer ones. Just a thought...

was a thorpe over the past 2 days, got 5 rides in on hyperia and both trains were running fast at exactly the same speed (as far as i could tell) while riding and during testing so it seems like whatever was causing one train to be slower has been resolved

Ryan I understand why Mine Blower in Florida received GCIs new steel track, and Lightning Rod, Tremors, Timber Terror, Boulderdash & 1 or 2 others I'm missing. However, Zambezi Zinger is the first brand-new coaster to install this ugly, noisy, horrible track. My question for you is WHY? Why did GCI decide to use their steel track only on the lift and wood track on the rest?

Love the Worlds of Fun b-roll! Such an underrated Six-Flags park.

I wonder if B&M offers a discounted rate with track tolerances. The last 3 or 4 B&Ms have been reported to have a rattle/shake to them. Dr. Diabolical, Iron Menace, Pipeline, and Penguin Trek. The reviews on them all seem to talk about a shake in the ride. Im gonna be riding Iron Menace here in about a month, so currently havent rudden any of them, just going off of review videos.

Dude... that intro... absolutely great!

I’m dead! 😵🤣🤣🤣 You’re funny! 😏🤘

Haha this intro is amazing. 😂😂

That tight tolerance explains why B&M can retain such smooth rides for so long. It makes a difference long term too because it's less banging around that progressively makes it worse overtime otherwise.

Hey Ryan, This brings up a question from my pro mod drag racing days. Can or Do they use ceramic bearings on the trains? I remember how blown away I was at the reduction to rolling resistance from just doing the front wheels. I'm not sure if the weight of the train or cost may be prohibitive but figured I would ask. #DoItForTheDots

The bit I am confused about, is the issue with Hyperia speed is only in the morning when its cold and empty trains, they normally do morning testing with water dummies until the ride is warmed up before running ut empty, then its fine and just get faster as the day goes on and the warmer it gets. No real difference to the process they also do with the smiler, they do morning testing with water dummies until it’s warmed up.
