For the boat ride one with the bolt--my mother tells a horror story similar to this. Apparently, when she was a kid, she and her brother were on a very similar ride. They decided, at the last minute, to switch carts. Another child was let on and got in the cart they'd just gotten out of. Something snapped. The other child's vehicle flipped over and crushed his skull, killing him instantly. That was almost my mom and uncle. She said that any time she gets the impulse to change carts at the last second, she does, as long as it won't cause issues... because she knows that saved her life once before.
Holy hell, that's traumatic for everyone involved or spectating. Damn. Glad your mom and uncle are alright
Ok the story about the parents who almost got their kid steamrolled by a coaster. Im thinking they may have absolutely been terrified but were playing it off to minimize the trauma on the kid. Often times young kids that age arent traumatized by the actual event theyre traumatized by everyone else's reaction to that event.
It DID say they were Russians....perhaps they were used to badly-maintained Soviet-era creaky steam-powered carnival rides with non-existent safety features about which if anyone complained they were dragged away by surly ill-tempered Cossacks and vigorously beaten with rubber truncheons.
Not a ride malfunction but the amount of knives i find outside the park is astounding.
@GlitterHorses It's also a life hack for me. I get free knives.
If you want to hide a knife near a theme park don't hide it in a bush. Park Services and Security look in there for alcohol and stuff. Also don't hide them in stone rangers (garbage cans) Park services changes them every hour or so. (Sometimes they put the knives back sometime they bin it). I'd say hide them where employees don't go or hide them near the parking lot garbage bins. They only get changed after the park closes.
People carry knifes around normaly there? And try to hide them before entering?
Apparently, they didn't have metal detectors nor security pat downs near entrances.
I thought cuz the rides would fling the knives from your person....y’all be hiding knives?
The Expedition Everest animatronic is pretty interesting. There are virtual rides on TH-cam that you can watch. On the ride, when you get to the broken tracks at the top, there’s a projector that shows a clip of the yeti’s shadow, and then you can see with the strobe lights it as you ride backwards back through Everest. My favorite ride! Wish they’d fix the yeti.
Disco Yeti Forever! lol
The Yeti shadow terrified me when I went on Expidetion Everest.
Now would be the perfect time considering the park is shut
It's the _very_ small majority, but terrible accidents do happen despite rider competence. Even if you do everything to obey rules and listen to operators, accidents can happen anywhere from huge-name theme parks to shotty fairs. If you're a ride operator, and you suspect the slightest issue or fault, speak up! Riders, obey and be cautious. Every time you ride, you're taking a risk, small, but still a risk. It was a widely known case, but for those unaware Marcelo Torres was a very unfortunate case of operator negligence at Disney. It may feel mundane, but lives are in the hands of operators, and if you feel that your operator may not be competent enough, it's not worth the risk.
Im just imagining the big bird shuffling around with his mouth chomping yeeting some toddler like some sorta fnaf critter *edit spelling
Hilarious
That last one is absolutely tragic. I really hope the family of that mechanic sued that theme park for everything they had. That is negligence of the highest order. I hope people were jailed for that.
"blood rained down on the poor little girl and[...]for some reason she started screaming"
huh i wonder what reason that could be
20:20 We called it Starship in TX at our little rinky dink fair. Was a BIG draw, until a lil girl lost a whole foot. Thank God I was with my mama eating a funnel cake when that happened.
Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point had to be closed for a few days last year because lightning struck it. A couple of my friends saw it (we worked there). Fortunately it was after hours so no guests saw it and freaked out (not that any park would let people on a ride during a thunderstorm; a lot stop even if it's just raining).
Nightcore Nerd I remember that
I had the reverse happen to me. I was on a Ferris wheel and the decorative lights kept on flashing erratically, then I noticed that there were substantial sparks coming from what I now know was the "slip rings" used to transfer power (240V in my country at the time) from the upright tower to the lights on the wheel, and the erratic flashing coincided with the sparks. Over the course of two rotations of the wheel, I managed to alert the ride operators as I was going past and soon after, they stopped the ride for a few minutes and turned off the lights so someone could climb the tower and fix the problem (from how quickly it was fixed, I'm guessing it was probably just a matter of tightening some screws to stop the slip rings from wobbling).
Whoa, that’s interesting
One time, I went to a county fair, nothing really special except for a small grass plot with fold out rides, ticket booths, and all of that interesting stuff. There was also the occasional salty people like the ones that forced me out of a ride because I couldn't ride unattended and nobody stepped up to ride in the car with me. Well anyways after that mess, I went to this one ride that was very similar to the zipper, and rode on it about two times. The second time when I was at the very end of the line, one of the cables going from one car to another came right off. The ride operator proceeded to stand on the edge of the car, and re-attach the cable with what I believe was a pair of channellocks and a crescent wrench. Needless to say, probably shouldn't have gotten back on that ride but I did, and who knows maybe that cable wasn't that important. This was in Bremerton Washington if anybody was curious.
I’m always a single rider to it sucks
being from Jersey, I've never been to a theme park where there WASN'T a ride shut down. It makes me feel better that it's just strict regulation instead of the coaster actually being janky
Manta’s train was having a spaz attack at SeaWorld when I went. I recommend you check out ElToroRyan if you guys want to know more about coasters :)
Worst thing that happened to me on manta was I rode it with sunburn on my shoulders and back, literally blacked out around that pretzel loop, still rode it 3 times that day.
I love looking at the nets and tent coverings that are beneath a lot of the wilder rides in Cedar Point to keep lost items from hitting other customers as they walk around the park. The Raptor has a TON of loose change, some sunglasses, hats, and I've seen a wallet and a couple phones all nestled in those nets. Hate to think how much it'd hurt to get smoked in the side of the face with an iPhone flying at 80 mph...
And that’s why there are no loose articles allowed on rides.
No tales from Action Park? I feel that could probably be it's own subreddit...
I remember I went to Disneyland when I was young and got picked for some star wars show where they taught us how to use a lightsaber. All I remember is I hit Darth Vader in the ballsack about 8 times.
This is why I’ve never gone on a rollercoaster
You have more of a chance of getting struck by lightning than while dying on a rollercoaster. (1 in 14,000 chance of getting struck by lightning, and 1 in 300,000,000 of dying on a rollercoaster) you have nothing to be worried about if you’re following the rules. Rollercoasters are very safe, and malfunctions caused by the ride itself are incredibly rare. Don’t be afraid to enjoy a theme park
Dr.Dinosaur64329 you also are more likely to die on the way to a park than you are on a coaster
Dr.Dinosaur64329 it’s actually a 1 in 300,000,000 of getting injured, the chances of dying is 1 in 750 million.
Annie Sager oh I didn’t know that. That’s pretty cool
Okay so my own experience at that Celebration Station in Tulsa, the go karts were NOT meant for kids. At least not when I was there. Was like nine/ten and I swear if I had been any less cautious I would have flipped the kart. Going at like 40/50mph (at least it felt like it to tiny me) feeling the kart lifting off it’s sides at each turn, and the bridge only had tires to keep you from going over. Mind you, these were not secured down tires to make a nice sturdy safety wall, no these were LOOSE TIRES, some of which you could tell were about to fall over onto the track below. The operators did not give instructions before every new group went racing, so I had to guess which pedal was the gas and which was the break, and even when I did get the break right, it wasn’t working so I ended up in essentially ‘baby’s first cart crash’. Nothing severe, nobody hurt (except my pride and my my mental health lol), a whole big mess came after that with the lady who’s kart I’d hit while her daughter was begging to go do it again so she was obviously fine... ugh I just, the whole thing was awful and if I’d been any older and had any more of a backbone I would have said something but all I could do was cry and spend the next ten plus years trying to get over my horrible fear of driving. Still not quite there yet, but I’m getting better. Sorry for the long rant on an old video, I’m clearly not over it yet haha. Anyone who read all this, I hope you have a lovely day dearies!
I once went on the Joker at six flags and it stopped after a couple of seconds of staring they wouldn't let us out and yet the only thing I was worried about was my father being mad at me for taking a long time on the ride
I went by the joker one time and people were stuck on it and there was a long ass line to it
@@mikedawolf95 I might have been on that it was just stuck at the bottom
Discovery kingdom ?
I bet your dad understood
That’s completely normal. A ride can stop because someone took their phone out. A ride can also stop because the computer noticed that something isn’t right. If a ride stops it’s completely normal. They probably couldn’t let you out because the ride ops have to wait for maintenance to clear the ride. After that they can come get you.
@@mimikyu__- oh ok
i know people joke about their spirit animal, but I legit think the fat lonely dolphin might be mine
How does someone puke on a ride and no one else notices?
Do not question the ways of the theme park
The ones on the ride probably did notice. The ones who rode after it "went away" though...
I would not be here I have a fear phobia even if this ;-; I’m still here
You have a 1 in 750 million chance of dying on a roller coaster. The chance of being struck by lightning is 1 in 700,000
Annie Sager
Thanks!
But lightning isn’t a certified death but rollercosters are
Why do people expect there will be so many accidents at amusement parks
Final Destination 3 maybe?
Frootloop the Chatot the clickbate media is strong
Okay... SO we start out knowing that there's TWO (2) laps on the track to "compete" and then we're expected to slow to a stop and pull into the "grid" for the go-karts... ALL this is "Given"...
BUT as I come around for the last half lap, my throttle was stuck! Rather than show off like I'm "stealing" a ride, I flipped my right leg out of the cart, wrapping it over the steering column... Waving my hands I whizzed past the other karts, and the grid, just keeping enough control to avoid crashing the thing... At first the attendants of the go-karts track were in shock, but once they realized my right leg (the one that would operate the throttle) was clearly not operating anything, they went into "fix it NOW" mode...
It ended up with a guy jumping on the back of my kart... The first two ended up falling off and getting injured... TO whit, I assured them I could manage until it ran out of fuel... We'd settle up later... as long as that was okay.
BUT a guy finally managed to hold his place, held on and shut the thing down as we rolled into the "finish" area... AND they were able to get this kart away from public consumption, and in spite of 80+ mph, I was congratulated plenty for avoiding catastrophe...
...It's amazing to be able to just avoid getting killed in a runaway go-kart, and still get congrat's! ;o)
Xtra fun!
Hey this isn’t related, but THANK YOU FOR ORGANIZING YOUR COMMENT INTO PARAGRAPHS.
It’s something that we just don’t see enough here in TH-cam comment sections, and it makes it a lot easier to read. So thanks!
@@Artist-128 You're welcome... I've noticed my own aversion with growing eye strain as time passes... and thought to try for "better". ;o)
@@adamr6498 I have mixed feelings about it... The extra few laps (out on the track itself) were a bonus... yes.
The several times racing by the other karts and narrow spaces, and particularly when there were people out in the way was nerve-racking...
The two guys who got injured (minor) by falling off the back of the kart wasn't much fun either...
I'd have rather preferred to get a cleared part of parking lot or something to run it in circles where it couldn't cause harm... I could've just pulled the plug-wire at that point... ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 was this by chance in Wisconsin Dell's?
I remember one time I went to six flags Mexico with my friends and in the "Kaliuea" a seat belt wasn't working. My friend almost flought out of that thing.
OHIO YES HE WAS TALKING ABOUT CIDER POINT
* Cedar
Cider?
@@thegachanobodiestrollaccou7051 yeah cider point , everything is cider
Castle and Costers, Boat ride has killed people but they refuse to make it safe, you are basically straddling a bench that has no backrest no seat belts and you have to cling to the side of the cart or you will fall off while going up a 30-35% incline then going down a 40-45% incline, super fast and if you let go you will fall out
I went on a ride called Fireball at a county fair. It’s that ride that’s a bit like a roller coaster but is just one big loop. I went to buckle in and the seat belt locks but the pull bar won’t. My seat mate and I call to the ride operator for help (they didn’t do seat checks) but he either didn’t hear or ignored us. Going fully upside down with nothing but what is essentially a car seat belt holding you down is terrifying. The guy next to me tried to hold onto me and the lady across from me tried to hold my feet down as we went, but it didn’t make me feel much better.
That's the first time I've ever heard of Big Bird having one too many! 😂
I think I went on the yeti ride
But I don’t remember seeing a yeti at all
8:22 is this Santa Cruz? Because there's a Wooden Roller Coaster there (i know other parks have them but Santa Cruz was the first one to pop in my head)
Idk, could be this one near me, it does look pretty unsafe.
@@fynnla.e where you thinking?
I went to a carnival with a bunch of underpaid people that didn't look qualified and the doors opened on the salt and pepper with me and my friend we pushed on the top and bottom and didn't die
Why do parents try to put their little kids who are not big enough into those rides? I mean it's not like they're going on it.
Because they're stupid. They don't realize that some rides have a height requirement for safety reasons.
When I was 13, someone got the tallest coaster in the park near me shut down. Like 185 foot steel. Someone had snuck a multitool type thing into the park with him and got out of the safety bar at the top of the lift hill and climbed onto the stairs for maintenance. Took them 2 hours to get him down because not even the police wanted to risk trying to wrestle a kid on a 1ft wide set of steps 185 ft up
I finally got the balls to go on a ride, "Demon Drop" at Cedar Point in Ohio. You enter the ride at the bottom, you go straight up slowly, then they drop you. I was petrified while going up. Then as we got up to the top, there was a maintenance man. I looked over and asked him if something was wrong. He got this awful look on his face, then just slowly nodded his head yes. I passed out. I woke up at the bottom. He must have saw me passing out, then came to apologize to me saying it was a joke. Ha ha very funny.
2:41 did he say blood?! WHY ARE PPL BLEEDING HERE?!!
Was 1:15 Cedar Point?
Yes
I'm from tulsa, man I miss bells. The fair is not the same since it got tore down for parking lots. I went to school with the girl who was on the wildcat, I think they just ended up getting whiplash, but the other girl got really hurt. nothing too too bad. Funny though, when the fair would come to town they had there own wild cat roller coaster 🎢 and always set it up . Never got to ride it while Bells was open. God I miss the zingo and phantasmagoria
“The coaster doesn’t go upside down or anything like that. Now, halfway around the loop...”
Could've been a horizontal loop
Worked at a local theme park off and on for a few years (basically where I live most teenagers first job was at this park). When I think I was about 16 I was working guest services at the parking booth and I think it was a transformer blew and all hell broke loose. People were stuck on rides including a group that was stuck on the upside down part of a roller coaster for a little over and hour and a half. The line of cars trying to enter and park backed up to the main road for miles. It was a shit show. Everything turned out ok but it was a really long day
I suspect that I might’ve experienced this when I was around 8. I was on a ride that basically just spun around fast while you were in a car. It stopped, and then almost immediately started spinning backwards at the same speed. Me and my friend just thought it was cool. I have been back there loads of times and have never seen that ride go backwards again
1:44 Cedar point, and I believe wicked twister is the ride.
Idk how old this thread is, but when I rode Expedition Everest in 2016 the Yeti still had strobes instead of moving.
Also the one about the indoor space roller coaster, someone told my sister you can be too tall for Space Mountain so the whole time she rode it she was scrunched up in fear in her seat! She's only 6' though, I'm 6'4" and I rode it no problem.
Ladybug I think worked at Fun Land in Delaware cause I’ve been there and there’s a ride called The Paratrooper the goes up and around
RIP the poor seagull
Me and my friends went on the rollercoaster “king da ka” look it up, over 400ft tall, sometimes it has a rollback when it goes back down the hill, that’s what happened and I didn’t know it was a rare but also common thing, thought I was dead boys I tell ya
I refuse to get on any rides at fairs because they are thrown together way too quickly and I refuse to do any amusement parks either because of all the reasons told on these posts!!!!! Not cleaning up puke, blood, or poop properly and still letting people use that seat makes me want to puke!!!! Why bother shutting down a ride to actually fix the problem so that no lives will be in danger, just rig it up and get it going!!!! Oh and let incompetent teenagers control the rides too thats even better!!!!
@@pineappleroad yeah no thanks to what you tried!!! I dont do heights at all!!!! My 3 buggy boots are heights, water (all bodies of water except swimming pools and the shower) and sharks.....i was trying to do something fun for my anniversary and I thought I could go parasailing and I figured I could just be an adult and suck it up......well I never thought about how you get all the way out to the boat and it was by riding on a friggin banana boat which was terrifying and then going 800 ft in the air and being dropped dipped 3xs in the ocean, I still don't know how I didnt have a heart attack!!!! That was the dumbest thing I've ever done.....i combined the 3 things im extremely scared of and thought I could just get through it......my whole body hurt because of how tense I was and I have a precious go pro video of me crying and cussing and almost passing out.....its really adorable (hope that came off sarcastic)
Hey! That’s not fair! The ride ops are NOT incompetent teenagers! Ride ops are often enthusiasts and they take their jobs very seriously! The chances of dying at an amusement park is one in 750 MILLION. The chance of getting struck by lightning is 1 in 70,000. The difference between dying on a coaster and getting struck by lightning is 749,930,000.
Also, when a ride continues after being stopped, it’s likely that the computer system overreacted or something simple like that. If maintenance thinks that something is truly wrong they’d close the ride.
"Disney fixes their rides quickly" uh-huh tell that to the time I got stuck on Splash Mountain for over an hour. We were in there so long they turned the animatronics off. I still have no idea wtf happened but it sure as fuck did happen. At least it was nice and cool in that ride...
I be chillin with a toy lobster in quarantine
Uh, not having PPE to clean up bodily fluids feels like a major code violation.
I'm talking to me self lmao 🤣 💀
Henry 💀 was that him having a heart attack omg😭😭 WTF WTF I WANNA SEE THAT VIDEO AGAIN 😭😭
The batman show made my childhood to.
Feel like the big bird one was in salou portaventura
LMAOOO wait I've been doing this for ever tho anyways smh lol
0:43 me
0:47 r/MeIRL
That one in Kansas that took a kids head off
Potato’d is...what does that even mean?!
Pee is the least thing I’m afraid of but vomit and blood combined get me off the ride and get me some new cloths vomit and blood doesn’t mix well with me
How many of these came from Action Park in New Jersey back in the day? LMFAO!!
LMFAO they are so impatient and also WHO EVER TOOK DOWN MY IG
*reads title*
I don’t think I want to know this.
