This is everything I wanted on a cruise, now they got. Let's book a cruise.
Right. It's like what ELSE can they think of to put on these things?
I'm impressed they pulled this off, but I can see the definite limitations to how much of a coaster they could build. The maintenance needs will also be pretty high with constant exposure to the sea.
We Fins make this , so be quiet and have fun lol 😂
@@FINMrCurly 🤣🤣❤️
If the maintenance isn't top notch the salt water air will slowly destroy it,....looks Kool tho
I guarantee when I book this cruise the Bolt coaster will be out of order the whole week.
That'd by MY luck, as well. OR, there'd be a long line and it'd take HOURS to get on.
@@kb6kgx Exactly. You'll have a long queue and a capacity of 2.
I would have to put on a life jacket/vest. Lol 😆
Nice! Better than a gocart!!
THE BOLT!!!!!!!
CRUISE ROLLERCOASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That looks amazing to ride WOOOOO
Looks cool , sound even cooler 🤩🤩🤩
300lbs maximum is going to be tricky for the US of A :-)
LOL, I can confirm, this is true.
I wanna go there
$15? Nah. Especially after you've already paid all that money and other activities/entertainment are included.
You have to spend money to get on it? That's a huge shame.
@@MariaDash145 it’s a roller coaster on a cruise ship… $15 is worth having that experience imo
If you dont charge for it the waiting line would be out of control. Pay for fun is the only way to go to get the opportunity to ride it.
It's $15 to ride the go-karts on NCL. So what? At least on THAT ship, you get 8-minutes of "track time". But, as has been said by others, here, where ELSE are you going to ride go-karts and roller coasters on a cruise ship??? Charging extra reduces the demand and keeps the lines and wait-times short.
Agreed!!! It's just another cash grab!
Lol the last thing I want to do on a cruise is wait in line for an hour. They should have time slots or fastpass.
I don't like Roller coasters but this looks like fun
This should be right up your alley then because, guess what... it's not a roller coaster. A roller coaster doesn't have drive motors in the vehicle, it's powered only be gravity and momentum after the initial lift or launch. In other words, it coasts. This is powered by drive motors built into the vehicle. Since it doesn't coast, it's not a roller coaster.
That is so cool 😎😎😎
It looks great, but...it's a roller coaster with a capacity of: 2. Or maybe at best, 4, or 6. That's with 5400 passengers on board. I bet you won't be riding very often.
Sounds like they'll be some breakdowns in the future. The vehicle is super shaky.
And it's powered by bus bars running along the track. I'm not sure how long those are going to last in the corrosive atmosphere of the sea, plus the friction of the pickup.
@@soentrueman7944 well quality is good. Same as ship they use metal what has protection for it. We have good quality work for this kind things
Are there no lap belts, straps, or harness of some sort? Looks like people just sit on it and go.
There is a seatbelt.
Does it run at sea or at port? And how would they get people off if the coaster got stuck like at other theme parks such as busch gardens
Yeah, I was also wondering if the ride runs while the ship is sailing or at sea?? Hmm...🤔😀
It can't get stuck like a coaster because it's not a coaster. The vehicle has drive motors in it that push it along the track, so they just use those to move it to the station. A coaster is called a coaster because it COASTS. The vehicle has no drive motors in it, after the initial lift or launch it's powered only be gravity and momentum.
@@KingdaToro Yeah, but anything can malfunction. On a long enough timeline, it will.
@@jshepard152 Yes, that's a given. The point is that a coaster has an unpowered vehicle, by definition. That means it WILL get stuck if it loses enough momentum. Since this ride is not a coaster, the only way it can get stuck is a mechanical or power failure.
@@KingdaToro
It can't get stuck "like a coaster" but it can get stuck. It's that second part you left out. And if you're stuck, you don't care about the way in which you're stuck.
So I guess this is an improvement of the sky ride on the vista?
Very nice
Well that out beet Disney cruise line in the face.😊
This is really a powered coaster as opposed to a roller coaster.
It looks like it's always powered by a motor in the car. Is it a roller coaster if it doesn't go up a big hill then coast?
Got back from the Carnival Vista a couple of weeks ago. It was great (adults/crew vaccinated). Felt very safe and normal!
You got that right. It's essentially a train ride, it's not a roller coaster. While a roller coaster doesn't have to start by going up a big hill (a launched coaster doesn't) it always has to disconnect from the lift or launch system and coast the rest of the way.
Where are the seat belts????
How much ride
Who's the manufacturer?
Is this in qatr
So
Do they control your speed or you control your own speed?
You control the speed. There is a motorcycle-like throttle. The people in this video seemed reluctant to go as fast as they COULD.
NO GRACIAS
$15 for 20 seconds?? I'll pass.
Have you ever played Blackjack at a casino with a minimum bet of at least $20? How does does one hand of Blackjack last?
@@kb6kgx No. Never gambled in a casino. Wrong person to say that to! 🤣
It’s not a roller coaster as there is no use of gravity/coasting
Covid-20 coaster delivered this time 😨🤣
thats it? 1) its like 10 seconds long. 2) i cant imagine having to listen to this thing ALL DAY LONG on the ship. 3) Stow loose items? why? it might as well be a kiddie ride lol.
$15 to go on that short-ass coaster? What a rip off!!!
Then don't do it.
Isnt the whole point of going on a cruise to enjoy the actual cruise? Why do we need rollercoasters and slides etc on it?
40 mph.....Book a cruise to ride.....NO THANK YOU!
I'll just drive my car up and down a bunch of hills.
$15 dollars for one lap on a kiddie coaster 😳
Some people are wearing masks yet nobody is social distancing. Like that's gonna help?
It’s all theater, it doesn’t really matter.
It doesn't help. Mask , distance vaccine etc
2nd to comment!!
This isn't a roller coaster. A roller coaster never has any sort of drive motors in the vehicle, and always disconnects from the drive system built into the track after the initial lift or launch. It then completes the course powered only by gravity and momentum. In other words, it coasts. This ride has drive motors in the vehicle itself, that propel it throughout the ride by acting on the gear rack on the side of the track. It doesn't coast, so it's not a coaster.
Semantics. So what?
@@kb6kgx It's not semantics. A ride that does not coast is not a coaster, and marketing it as such is false advertising.
