Shame what's happening to it. No maintenance since closing down in 2015. A national heritage ride not allowed to dismantle but it's not forbidden by law to neglect so they simply let it rot away hoping its collapse will make way to more monkey business in the former theme park area.
@@davidjellis Inactive for some time now, however, still popular in the hearts. She gave so many people a good time over the last 100 years (that's exactly how old is she today). Almost certainly she shall operate again, just a question of time. But that damned money sucking unfinished biodome project just delays it to the possible very end 🙁
@@FlyingSpaghettiMonster2000 Looks like biodome will open sooner than the rollercoaster would awake...Just heard about the real story lately. Poor thing had its last maintenance work in 2015! Man, for 7 years noone cared about this vintage wonder! The zoo surely intends to get rid of it. They can't tear it down being a monument ride protected by law. But simply leaving to its fate is not prohibited. Without repairs it will soon be so dangerous they have to put it down before collapsing. If they wanted to reopen it, they would do the regular maintenance work so they would start renovating in good shape if time comes for kicking it alive again. As can be seen, shamefully that's not the situation.
So cool that you captured this ride on video! I only drove past it when it was already defunct..
There's some more footage to come from that park...just edited a number of videos from our 2005 visit!
I loved this when I was a child .... tried it million times !!
Hu de jó volt 😂
Pretty awesome for the time!
was that dude in charge of the on-ride photo at 3:12
No - I think he was just grabbing some photos of us riding...but cannot spot who it is on the video
Scenic "right next to the local interstate" coaster, haha. Still cool to show one of the rare brake operated coasters. (I may of watched at 2x speed)
It was pretty slow - but nonetheless very pleasurable
Budapest megérdemli egy új hullámvásút és egy igazi vidámpark.
Egyetértek - szomorú volt látni a parkot bezárva, és attól tartok, hogy a hullámvasút most elrohad.

It is very sad to read this - a real shame for this to happen to such a classic and rare ride
did somebody say Pacing issues?
just kidding, so good to see true history on video. thanks for posting
It's a slow ride, but an important one historically - would love to think it will run again

@@gaborkovari5093 are they planning on fixing the coaster after the biodome is complete?

The slowest yet.
Yes it is not the fastest of its type...but was a privilege to ride something so rare and historical
