- This is Sierra Tonante, the last coaster designed by Bill Cobb. The ride was fast but quite juddery when I rode it in 2005. The ride closed in 2007 but you can still enjoy it here!

Uno dei più incredibili wooden RC - giusto demolirlo se ormai non era più sicuro ma andava ricostruito - i wooden RC hanno un fascino e un rumore particolare e soprattutto purtroppo ormai sono rari - un wooden RC in un parco italiano dovrebbe essere assolutamente presente
Sono d'accordo - un vero peccato che le montagne russe siano state demolite
Quanto era figa Sierra tonante. Ancora ricordo l’emozione del primo giro. Un vero lutto quando la smantellarono
Guarda il lato positivo, da quello fecero Ispeed
When I was little we went to Mirabilandia once every two years (the other year we went to Gardaland) and I rode Sierra Tonante once, the earliest I could, in 2001 and then several times in the same day in 2003, it wasn't super smooth but it was perfectly beareable. I rode it in 2005 for the last time and by then it was clear maintenance was lacking and it wasn't a great experience, I rode it only twice that day :( with more and better maintenance it could have lasted a few more years while still giving a good experience, I loved its iconic skyline and the roaring sound it made...
It was a shame to see a relatively modern coaster get rough like that - I only rode it this one time...the next time we visited the park it had gone
@@davidjellis It had had a very high maintenance cost, it was made of wood and the direction thought better to just take it away instead than running it poorly
@@sevciel There are plenty of wooden coasters from the 1920s, 1930s, 1970s, etc that are still running and providing smooth ride experiences...it sounds like the park just never really looked after it, which is a shame.
@@davidjellis I know, I used to work there as a ride attendant since I know 3 languages beside italian and I know that once katun opened in 1999 it kind of lost a bit of popularity. Luckily it was operating until 2007
@@sevciel I LOVE Katun - amazing coaster, but was a shame the wooden coaster didn't last very long.
Bei ricordi :')
Mirabilandia: Una montagna russa di legno è obsoleta, meglio se la sostituiamo con qualcosa di più moderno...
Europa-Park: Oh, una montagna russa di legno è la novità perfetta per il prossimo anno, dobbiamo assolutamente costruirne una! :)
Purtroppo con. Il cambio di manager Mirabilandia ha perso molto - Europa Park ha alle spalle una famiglia "manager" fantastica - Wodan é semplicemente fantastico ed incredibile
Ma quanto erano belle queste montagne russe? io ci sono montato in quattro anni diversi, quando ero un bambino e quando ero adolescente e prima che arrivasse Katun a detronizzarlo, l'ottovolante Sierra Tonante era il più bel roller coaster presente in Italia. Un vero peccato l'abbiano smantellato, non ho mai saputo il motivo di ciò. Molti sostengono a causa degli alti costi di manutenzione, ma io non ci credo.
Teofilatto Dei Leonzi da quello che so si era danneggiato e "aggiustarlo" (non mi viene in mente termine migliore, scusa) sarebbe costato quanto abbatterlo e costruire un roller coaester nuovo.. Per questo hanno costruito l'ispeed
@@chiaramorgese5898 ma che cazzo dici.
@@chiaramorgese5898 quello è successo su katun, Sierra Tonante purtroppo richiedeva un altissimo costo di manutenzione e alcune parti si erano rovinate a causa dell'usura e dell'umidità
@@chiaramorgese5898 "bro" chiama qualcun altro, non me.
@@oMvAvMo ok bro
So smooth😌
che peccato...proprio nel 2007 ci sono andato e stavo facendo la fila per entrare quando è cominciato a diluviare e l'hanno chiusa... :'( non ci sono potuto tornare perché è piovuto tutto il giorno....ed era l'ultimo giorno di vacanza.... :'( ...e poi l'hanno demolita.... :'(
che sfortuna mih..
Mi manca un casino era un must di mirabilandia
Purtroppo È Andato In Paradiso Per Sempre 😩
"When it gets round wheels, it'll be better!"
It's fair to say that with both wooden and steel coasters there are great ones and there are really poor ones...it isn't a wood v steel argument, simply good versus bad....Sierra Tonante was one of those coasters that looked amazing but rode poorly...there are plenty of steel coasters you could say the same of!
Bellissimo.. l'avevo fatto nel lontano 1998 quando il parco aveva appena aperto.... peccato che l'abbiano rimosso.
Non c'è più questo coaster
Sì, è stato rimosso parecchi anni fa
ma va...
c'è ispeed al suo posto..
it was really rough (like an italian mean streak) and the park had to make a choice: whether to keep the ride and waste millions to maintain it, or to build a new, bigger and better ride. guess which one they chose.
Mondo Coasters. They tore it down for iSpeed.
R.I.P
Ways it could've lasted longer:
-If it had PTC trains (it's hard to tell, but this ride ran with Morgan trains)
-If Mirabilandia would've maintained it more from day 1.
The trains wasn't made by Morgan, they were made by a renowned Galaxi coaster company, SDC.
But yeah, these SDC trains were the main reason why Sierra Tonante lifespan was short.
Or RMC it
@@XboxgamerZ honestly the layout had RMC potiental, it's just that much like Hercules at Dorney it got the axe before that was a thing.
@@AceAviations2 Yes it looks like it would be a good RMC
Ooohh...stunt work...sounds exciting :-)
Avrei voluto farla prima che andasse via 😭
That's the one. I worked there during the summer of 1970. I ran the train ride and did stunt work there.
Maybe someday Mirabilandia could bring this coaster back. Maybe have GCI build it so that the new incarnation will be smooth while maintaining its speed.
It's a shame it has gone but the land is taken up with others coasters now so unlikely to see this ever being rebuilt.
There was a Lakeside Park at Salem VA, is that the one?
It had two wooden coasters called Wildcat (closed 1967) and Shooting Star (closed 1986).
Hi there! This was in Mirabilandia park, in Italy ;)
Love the old wooden roller coasters. Have you ever heard of Lakeside Amusement Park in Roanoke, Virgina? They used to have one much like the one in this video. Thumbs-up.
erano veramente belle queste montagne russe interamente costruite in legno adesso al loro posto c'è high speed giostra moderna ma bella
e il maestoso Katun
katun rispetto a li è dall'altra parte del parco...e poi è Ispeed non high speed..
@@tindarysquicciarini7661 katun c'è prima della demolizione
HAhahaha, "when they get round wheels it'll be better" seriously laughed at that, did see that coming. Although the ride did look painful, I know the feeling! You gotta love to hate wooden roller coasters.
Excellent David ! I agree, round wheels definitely work best lol :-)
Thanks for the video, David! I remember this ride from when I was a kid, but I never got to ride it before it closed. I remember there being some sort of a restriction that kids younger than 12 can't ride back then (I was 8 at the time). I doubt it was enforced, but my parents didn't want to risk it with the queue being quite long.
Shame you never got to ride it...was a bit rough though when I rode it so I wasn't totally surprised when it was removed, but always sad to lose a wooden coaster!
Nn sei Italiano dislike
@@tommasocecchi1943 è italiano
@@tommasocecchi1943 e poi non ha senso di mettere dislike solo perché non è italiano
The chain lift sounds like a steel coaster rather than a wooden. I wonder if they will ever try again to build another wooden coaster
Do you mean whether that park will build a woodie? Not sure on their plans...but of course new wooden coasters are being built all the time
Semplicement il top
I think this roller coaster would have been better off with a rmc makeover
I guess anything is better than demolition!
E sembrava molto bello ma era scomodo
Wait Italy had a wooden coaster?
It did indeed!
So on a scale of 1 to Mean Streak, how rough was she?
I have ridden far worse coasters...possibly a 7?
@@davidjellis What was your least favorite defunct wooden coaster?
@@starscreamtron Great question - and the answer is easy...Son of Beast!
@@davidjellis Understandable
Why was this coaster removed..? Shame it did not last till 2012 as it could of had the "Topper Track" treatment to make it run smoother.
some say they have demolished it for maintenance costs, which I understood was a new coaster ... Ispeed is now the Lunched coaster n° 1 in Europe .. I do not know why the demolition boh ..
Wasn't this the coaster shut down by stricter building regulations?
That's what it says on Wikipedia...so I assume that is true. To be honest it was not the best wooden coaster I have ridden!
Looks surprisingly rough for a Cobb coaster. At least Ispeed exceeded this coaster.
It was quite a juddery experience, even in the front seats...would have been rougher near the back I suspect!
+davidjellis ?
it'd cost the same amount of money to either build a new one or to maintain it.
rip per chi come me non ha mai potuto provarla dato che nel 2007 avevo 11 anni. :(
E hands up per chi come me nel 2007 aveva dieci anni ma l'ha provato lo stesso perché era abbastanza alto da passare inosservato ai controlli :')
Sono andata i primi di agosto non c'era le ho fatte tutte
thats what i figured. but anyway im only judging by the way my sisters judged it when they rode it back in 2007 (the year before this closed). i was 8 and i couldnt ride even though i really wanted to, at first, but then i got scared and changed my mind. thank god i made that choice. anyway, if it weren't for the removal of sierra tonante, we wouldn't have the world's second intamin blitz coaster and the world's tallest and fastest water coaster (cuz they each take up some of sierra's space) :)
Ciao sono un tuo iscritto :)
This has nice big sweeping hills, a thing of the past. Now wooden coasters are one big lift hill, and 20 cheap bunny hills at enormous speed with exhausting G forces. A roller coaster should slow down as it crests a hill, not make your eyes bulge out on each one like Boulderdash. Boulderdash is a one and done.
I mostly agree - but think that Boulder Dash at its best is a wonderful coaster...have ridden it when it was rough and would agree, but on a good day it's one of the finest coasters around.
@@davidjellis Can you re-ride Boulderdash? I couldn't.
@@billlynn7482 Yes - we had an hour on it on a coaster club trip in 2001 - rode it maybe a dozen times in that hour.
@@davidjellis And you're alive?! :) "Too intense for me."
@@billlynn7482 I don't mind intense :-)
L' Ispeed è moooooooooolto megliooo!!! :)
Il migliore è il Katun
certo che secondo me i coaster di legno danno un certo fascino
Nessuno nega che I-speed sia spettacolare, ma se fosse rimasta anche Sierra Tonante e lui costruito in altra parte del parco saremmo stati tutti più felici. Amo I-Speed e il mio 2 (dopo Katun) rollercoaster preferito in Ita, ma Sierra Tonante è rimasta nel cuore!!!!
piango
domani vado a mirabilandi😘😘😘😝😝
DOMENICO TIPALDI ma guarda che l'hanno rimossa da anni😂
wow
i tink they leave thi attraction... when i go at mirabilandia, 3 months ago, there wasn't :(
It closed in 2007 :-(
:(
*****
Why?? :O :(
Nikolbaable They took it down to build iSpeed.
+Nikolbaable it was a wood-coster built in the early '90. it was old.
You... you didn't really understand what I was saying, did you?
Un mito
:-)
Fico!😃
Some guy said "if it had round wheels it'd be better" OUCH
Yes, that was me!
The ride is not there any more.
The layout looked good and fun. What a shame.
BackSeatJunkie I guess these things happen...coasters don't last for ever. It was indeed an interesting layout, but it was pretty rough and they clearly decided it was cheaper to demolish than to re-track and maintain it properly.
Basically, I got shot off the train by the bandits as they boarded it. Then the next time the train came around, I was one of the bandits and shot the other guy off. It was very simple stuff and I was very young man.
Potevano fare Ispeed senza toglierlo!! Era bellissimo!!
costava troppo la manutenzione del legno
Mirabilandia was better before
I have been there twice (2005 and 2015) - enjoyed both visits
😅😅
Yes, wooden coasters are terrible. Boulder Dash, El Toro, The Voyage, and Phoenix sure do suck.
Oh, wait, they're some of the best coasters on the planet.
C'è ne una identica a Parc Asterix.
Il est tout à fait différente de Tonnerre de Zeus vraiment
+davidjellis He talks italian not in frace haha
+Toxic Gamer Oops - apologies to all :-)
+davidjellis nice vid man 😉 now i am starting to go in mirabilandia 😊
Sadly this wooden coaster isn't there now, but they do have some amazing rides including iSpeed and Katun (check the videos on my channel)
I love you. :)
Sonp italiano :-)
anke io ahah
Cazzo
100 volte meglio della cagata Ducati
Belloa rispett al.katun fa cagare troppe.vibrazioni poi
It's a death trap!!
