Peter tells the story of an Itallian coaster model that never came to the United States after a failed installation in New York. But is a dangerous roller coaster or is it not even among the mildest coasters out there?

Rode the one in Germany and I was just dumbfounded because I didn’t experience any major G spikes. I was expecting to ride a legendary Illegal roller coaster and ended up finding a mediocre portable coaster that was fun
I also wouldn't say that it is rough. It might be shaky, but nothing compared to slcs
was it the one at friezitland geiselwind, and what row did u ride it in
Craycray For Coasters I think four times in the front and twice in the back (Only that many times because they send you around twice)
the test dummies complained about the Gs haha
@@Lyllified I Rode it at Freizeitland Geiselwind and the G-forces and the roughness really surprised me. So i suffered some minor injuries after the ride.
"People might get a sore neck or shoulders!"
When has that ever stopped American rollercoasters before?
Safety of Americans is always #1! ALSO AMERICANS BE LIKE:
Vekoma SLCs: ...
ik they didn't have any rollercoasters but like *guesters towards action park*
@@TheInuyasha90 Despite a roller coaster going against the "You control the action" philosophy, I'm sure they would've found a way if they had the money and lived long enough.
@@otaking3582 Nowadays, there are alpine coasters from companies like Wiegand, aswell as the new Maurer Spike coaster model.
Geez... They should've named it Hot Potato The Ride....

Im glad you did this, i mentioned this in my 2000 theme park events video and people were asking about details. I'll point them here
This mans intro destroys yours lol

Nice videos man
In RCT3:
"Peep P: Looping Coaster 1 looks too intense for me!"
P.P
peeps have actual names in rct3 tho
John Lorton still more fun then World though
@John Lorton It definately doesn't have the gameplay and nostalgia rct 1 and 2 have but at the time the 3d graphics where revoloutionary... altough they havn't aged too well ^^
"Peep P" is just an example name.
Can you make a video about the top ten rejected amusement park ideas
Yes!! This is a great idea :D
He already made a video like that on the top 10 rejected roller coasters.
@@orangepentagon9730 TH-cam user Bomby the great said of the ride. "When it comes to safety issues, we have to be more cautious"

What I've learned is that compact and comfort don't go together.
I rode Windjammer at Knott's Berry Farm the short time it operated. Talk about a pain in the neck, this coaster looks like a cake walk I would love to try. Hello from Phoenix Arizona!🔥
Schwarzkopf coasters are smooth
It’s amusing to hear of so much concern for rider comfort and safety from the park that operates Super Flight! 😂
lol so true too that thing is worse

I love how I-305, a coaster named after Dale Earnhardt, features intense, "snappy" lateral g forces
Holy shit bro 😂
@@CONGTHEGUERILLA it's a full experience
Ooooooof
Oof
oh no
Want rough? Take a ride on the last row/seat on one of the trains at NYC's famous Cyclone Roller Coaster. You'll emerge feeling as if you've just been in a 10 car pileup ....
Shockwave at six flags great america was really rough also
amen to that that coaster is beyond brutel hw about new new york coaster in vegas is worse
I rode Cyclone in the back row and El Toro was ten times rougher
Request: greatest “What ifs” in Theme Park History. Number one would probably be “What if Son of Beast didn’t get demolished and survived long enough to be RMC’d.
Awesome idea. But with the support structure being questionable, RMC wouldn't have taken that job
Okay that would probably be one of the top RMC’s along with SV
rmc could have taken it on they would have had to strip a lot of it away anyway however so it would be more like a new rmc then rmc son of beast
@@jaywadd316 exactly. They could have but it wouldn't have been the son beast entirely
number one should have been what if that wild wind coaster actually opened at Playland
Intimidator 305 is a good example of how high intensity coasters can be a gamble for investments. Of course, as mentioned in the video, it isnt as bad as the wild wind, but it was found by some to be too forceful to enjoy. While it is still acclaimed by many enthusiasts, it doesnt seem as popular as the park had hoped. I like how Eltororyan explains how it would have done much better at a larger park, Kings Dominion doesnt have as big a coaster lineup and may not have been ready for such an intimidating ride.
GP: omg that’s so intense and dangerous
Every enthusiast (including me): aw I want to go on it 😭
@Geht Dichwasanaberichsagsnich there are a few of these coasters still operating. they won't necessarily kill you, but the g's are very powerful
I suffered minor injuries (on my head, ears and hands) after riding this Coaster. Because i didn't expect so high G-Forces and such a roughness so i didn't press my head back strong enough during the first lap. But the Coaster was also not working 100% properly on this day (for example the seat restrains did not open like they are supposed to so they had to be manually overwritten).
i can already feel my neck snapping on that "loop"
I still don’t get it, I rode cobra at Geiselwind and I don’t remember it being that intense, it just looked impossible.
You mean Geiselwind
mren yea sorry
@@Adar512 where is geiselwind at? germany?
@@orangepentagon9730 Yes, it's in Germany. Geiselwind is surprisingly enough also home to germany's only Vekoma Boomerang.
Bomby the Great yep
I literally went on this yesterday! 😆
I wouldn't say it's extreme at all, just brutal as..... and what's worse is, they give you two laps 😭😭😭😆😆😆
When you said the sidewinder was 4Gs I was like: Jeez... Then I realized it sounded like Gs lol
Ah, Playland. Been there on an elementary school trip. What a place
Did you ride the Dragon Coaster?

"Roller coaster 1 Looks to Intense for me"
@Vegeta Well really all original rct games.
“Da popo be fast on yo ass looks too intense for me”
The irony of the death count in 1999 is that in and around that time, Zamperla would install the same steel wild mouse model (but not the exact ride) that killed two people in NJ at Gillian’s Wonderland Pier.
All this talk of tiny rides pulling massive G's, Costerpedia says that Desert Storm pulls 5.5 G's, which is more than Mindbender. Its such an obscure ride that there aren't a lot of videos of it. Can anyone that's ridden Desert Storm confirm this?
Sometimes they do pull more intense gs. The layout has a lot to do with it as well.
We have that roller coaster here in the Philippines. I rode it once (2 laps), and I didn't find it intense, but rather boring.
it’s not the same
And it's gone now. Bec they removed all rides in Circle of Fun.
Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.
i love your channel!! always such interesting videos
Request: The Rise & Fall of Rolling Thunder at Six Flags Great Adventure!
That ride is my childhood.
Simple. It opened in the late 1970's and closed in 2013 to make room for a queue line.
Cody I hope you’re not trying to make some kind of point. Is this the same Cody Geer that was adamant about spreading ignorance earlier?
That ride was unbearable by the end of its life- glad it's gone
@@LeoElso should have been rmc
4 days ago I rode such a roller coaster in the Freizeitland Geiselwind. Yes, the ride was a bit rough and my ears ached because they kept being pressed against the protective bars. Otherwise I found the ride neither dangerous nor particularly intense. With better protection bars, the ride would have been quite pleasant.
I rode the Wild Wind model in the Philippines. As forceful as the sidewinder was, the worst part was probably the helix that rattled like hell and felt like you were tumbling down a mountain in a barrel.
Rode the one in Athens just before it was sold to another park. It was my 930th coaster and I was pretty stoked about not only adding a new coaster, but a new coaster model to my checklist. Rode in the front seat and was the only one of the train. Lift, turn, drop, nice. Then the inversion. The shoulder bars whacked me in the side of the head so hard, I saw stars. I had to catch my glasses, which had almost been knocked from my face. The rest of the ride might as well have been called "Mike Tyson: the ride" - on pulling back into the station, the ride ops said, "no one in line, you can go again" and I said, "OMG, WHY???" - It surpassed Goudurix as my least fave steel coaster of all time.
Woah! I’ve never been this early! :O Your my favorite you tuber by the way! :D you helped me love coasters more than I ever did before! :D

Dangerous roller coaster! (Not clickbait)
Better this than having my neck and shoulders smashed on an SLC, or having my groin bashed on a stand up!

I rode Windjammer at Knott's Berry Farm the short time it operated. Talk about a pain in the neck. This coaster looks like a cakewalk, that I want to try!
Hello from Phoenix Arizona!🔥
I have ridden Cobra at Geiselwind a couple of times when I visited the Park and I kinda liked it. Don't know if I got lucky on my rides or if it is better than it's reputation, but I really don't get why it get's so much hate.
Thats gotta be safer than the little coaster with the tight loop thats currently at Keansburg. Thought it was going to snap my spine in half
I'm pretty curious as to how the Eurofighter came to be. It looks as if it were originally designed with the goal of making a real life ride in the style of something from a cartoon, with its zany steep lifthills, small cars, inversion capabilities, and partial H-bar track. It then found a niche as a small compact high Thrill ride without a very high price at the expense of a low capacity, and a decade or so later came the Infinity, which seems like a higher capacity sister of the eurofighter
Excellent video!!!
For you upcoming "Scariest Disney Attraction", I wanna talk about "Alien Encounter". I never got to experience that ride, but from what I seen and heard, Alien Encounter might just be the most terrifying, most out of place, most trama and nightmare educing, most screwed up attractions ever created for any Disney Park, Period! Too bad it was replaced with one of the worst Disney attractions (second only behind Superstar Limo at California Adventure) Stitch's Great Escape . BTW, I went in 2004 and got to experience the ride during it's soft opening.
Thank you so much! I must have seen this built at Playland when I was 6 years old, and at the time even I thought that it looked impossibly small to have an inversion. I legitimately believed that I made it up in my mind because I only remembered seeing it once and the next visit it was completely gone and I wasn't ever able to find a record of it existing as an adult, so thanks for letting me know that I'm not going crazy! If I remember correctly it had a red track and stood where the Sky Skater and Family Flyer are today.
I went to Playland in 2000 on family trip to there and Coney Island (I was 10 at the time). I do also recall seeing a red coaster with what I thought was a really small loop close to the ground (probably the sidewinder at the perfect angle) so thank you for helping me confirm 20-year-old memories.
Great info !!!
Your stock office footage is 💯.
Aaah a video of our Dutch ride-specialist.. Xtremerides :)
I rode the cobra while it traveled in germany. It really hurt. I hit my head kinda bad on the restrains. I like rough rides, but this feels like being tossed into an iron maiden from the Terminator. But like other extremly painful coasters (looking at you "drifting" coaster with side swinging cars) it's still a credit. Im not gonna ride the Cobra again when visiting tbe park in Geiselwind, germany though (where it currently is).
And now there is one at the most legendary park at all...Wonderland Eurasia! Seriously, you should do a video on this park.
I have a request. For your next video, you should do a video counting down the parks with the most roller coasters in the world over 10.
Good idea
However it was denied
I made a B&M hyper in planet coaster with a realistic layout and stats other than the fact that it pull 7g’s...
oof
Wow who would have thought that a ride like that would be banned
Gone with the wind. Good one.
I don't know if this video came as part of my request on Airtime Thrills channel yesterday or if it's just a coincidence, but thanks for this either way!
Peter has discussed this before, but I couldn’t remember if it was just in streams or on a video, so I wanted yesterday to direct you to TPC but couldn’t, really. I had no idea he’d be releasing a video on the topic the next day!
This video has been planned for over a week
@@psyclone500tv8 So then it was just an awesome coincidence. All I know is that I asked for more information and got it the next day. That totally works for me.
@@StamfordBridge That's cool. I do appreciate the thought though. I was surprised when his video came out the next day as well. The universe works in weird ways I guess lol
I remember seeing this built at Motorworld in Virginia. I think it was red at that time. They also add a spinning wild mouse for a brief time.
I remember seeing it built at playland as a kid and it was definitely red... although I kinda thought I was imagining it because I couldn't find a record of it existing before this video haha
4 Lateral G's is basically instant ultra extreme intensity in Roller Coaster Tycoon, and that game tends to be pretty forgiving most of the time.
skyrush at hershey pulls 5G's
This just looks like so much fun.
We have on of those in the Philippines very close to where I live and is still one of my most anticipated roller coasters as it's still in operation.
Wild Wind is located here in Athens Greece , since 2016. I have ride this coaster 2 times which i regretted. It was a really rough ride , i felt like my neck was going to get broken.
It looks fun!! I wanna ride it.
I've ridden the Cobra a couple of laps on the fair in Tilburg (NL).
I like the endings of these type of vids.
Request, top 10 best first drops you have explained.
I was on the traveling version at the Herbstmesse Basel fun-fair some years ago and I loved it. I don’t think it’s too forceful...or rough, by far not as rough as the swinging coaster!
I just rode Cobra in Freizeitland Geiselwind last week. It wasn't as intense as I expected it to be. The sidewinder was fun, coming out of the helix was extremely rough.
I agree! "Hot potato" Plus the fact that no one saw video, read specs on the ride, maybe saw a pix of it (thought is was cool) Got cold feet as lawyers gave them the "hairy eye" LOL!!!
Innovation and quality 😂
this can be summarized with “new yorkers hate fun”
Park: "This ride could potentially be dangerous and visitor's safety comes first"
Also park: "let's sell the ride to another park!"
I am 6ft 5 and I loved it. So crazy and unique, the gˋs are intense but worth it, also quite smooth.
I kinda like this American Expedition Theme Park type video ngl
Amusement part always gives me this giddy feeling and has for years. I feel like a little kid again. The only other thing that can do this for me is music.
When I listen to bands like Delta Parole, the best
Lol “What if someone got hurt?”... Me basically every time I go on a ride.
I might be able to ride Loop It next year! Wish me luck!
This along with a Pinfari Zyklon ZL42 are high on my bucket list! Call me crazy but they look kinda fun. I don't mind getting beat up a bit by a coaster. For this reason, I love good wooden coaster!
Here before the re upload
6:50 I want to get on the hooters go-kart immediately
I wonder how many laterals Tornado at Bakken pulls on its first drop. I wouldn't be surprised if it got near 3G
1:54 hey I was on this coaster! The park is only about 2 h from our home!!!
Why couldn't they just redesign the ride? Make the lift hill a bit higher and open up the inversion a bit so the twist transition could be stretched out a bit to make it smoother?
Looked pretty fun on the helix
"despite interpark properly designing the ride... ". Well I don't know mate, i really don't think I'd call 4G jerky laterals in an extremely tight inversion "proper design" ;D.
I‘ve been on this coaster many times in switzerland on fairs and i really like the ride
Does anyone know the actual amount of positive gs the ride has? We have rides with 5-6 gs still operating in the us.
When I rode the Chance Toboggan, while not nearly as intense as this coaster, as much as I enjoyed it, the first time I rode I wasnt ready for the transition out of the helix and it made a pain in the neck for the rest of the day. Even though it was nothing serious, it is true that even small pains can turn a rider away, and decrease popularity of a ride, so it was smart of them to not keep the coaster. I could say the same about Zippin Pippin's ejector hill, which takes away a little from the front row ride. I've also grown a dislike to B&M pretzel loops
3:44, ayyyy Playland is one of my home parks (other is Dorney park) and where I got my first roallercoaster credit in Dragon coaster
I rode one of these at Allou Fun Park last year and it was very rough. Probably would not recommend against it unless you have a very hard head.
Wow I’m flattered that my home states intimidator 305 is comparable to top thrill dragster. I miss the blackout run though.
Can you do a Failed Coasters video on Twist Coaster Robin at Yomiuriland?
@Force2000
I did see TCR in the intro, so i bet we’ll see it sometime soon. I want to see it too. I’d also like to see Skytrak at Granada Studios and The Bat (original) at Kings Island.
He’s discussed it before on compilation videos.
Yep, that's my country, the good ol' US of A. Before I think of asking "Why?" I remember "oh yeah, it's because we were founded by Puritans and Quakers!"
I came here to see the vid pls make more ur vids are amazing this for the insane rides that just wanna make me ride it with my sis
Was thinking when comes to rough roller coasters, would ones of thoese neck pillows people wear on planes help out, do you think they let you wear one?
The one named Cobra is only an hour from me and it rides like shit. The helix provides an excessive amount of headbanging. That is a „only-for-the-credit-coaster“ 😂
Damn, that's barely even an inversion at all.
There is a permanent Wild Wind at Freizeit-Land Geiselwind in Germany
Wild Wind looks too intense for me!
I could handle it.
Perhaps they should have spent a little more time designing that corkscrew in order to reduce lateral G-forces.
Could some more secure restraints help with the discomfort?
Hey, love your channel and watch every video! Could you do a video (your personal opinion or vote) on the top roller coasters in urgent need of a modification or spruce up. I have just ridden Oblivion at Alton Towers, whilst the first drop is great, it's incredibly short and being the first of its kind, was more of a demonstrator of the technology. It needs a big modification to extend its life. Thoughts?
Do you offer tank tops at all?i really like that first shirt alot:)
I wouldn't call it intense until the public gets to ride it. It just causes US owners to get cold feet. If it was too intense, then there would be a regulation ban preventing a certain amount of g-forces.
