@@frederikhein4195 Honestly, the first video looks more accurate to physics than the modern one. The acting of the passagers is way over the top and the burning wheel has a bad effect, but the movements of the car look accurate.
Unlike the TikToker, these fake Hollywoods accident do not really concern me. What does concern me is the media blowing up ride Evacs and misrepresenting real accidents. Those could turn people away from theme parks.
I actually liked that the first video didn't overexggarate what would happen by today's standards they would had have the whole structure burn to the ground
I feel like people making these haven't done their homework... I can't think of a single coaster accident where the car just yeets off into space. Now, if they'd done a slingshot ride, I might have believed it... Is it just me or do you imagine a Goofy yell as it flies into space....
@@CoasterCollege I know, it makes my brain hurt 😂 They’re either the same older people who believe everything they read on Facebook or they’re really young kids left unsupervised on iPads lol
I wish more people knew of your content. I’ve been on the theme park side of TikTok lately and I’m STILL seeing people claiming that The Smiler is dangerous when the accident was caused by operator error 😭
I really want to hear what the girl on tiktok said about "almost dying". I feel like it'd be either about an emergancy stop leading to an evac or an ILM launch coaster having a rollback.
@@CoasterCollege just finished watching it. idk if you caught it while making the video but she says in it that it *almost* popped up but catches herself because she realizes it would discredit her story. sounds like she just wanted something for free to me.
I'm pretty sure it was some shit about her riding EL TORO and saying she ejected and had to hold on to the restraint to not fall out, which would be impossible considering how strong the airtime on El Toro is
I’m pretty sure that second video is at least ten years old. I remember watching it in high school. It’s from a channel called MeniThings, an animation channel. It used to circuit roller coaster crash compilations back in the day.
I’ve seen that video of a drop tower where they added all these special effects and people would re-post it saying it’s the craziest ride they’ve ever seen. Meanwhile, I seem to be the only one on the Internet that knows that that video is fake. The ride in question is a drop tower ride in Korea, but the seats don’t drop and retract on cords, and the tower does not get taller.
What annoys me are the hoax pictures like that one of Alpengeist. You see the seats with four riders flying off the coaster as it is flipping upside down in the picture. I've actually had to explain to people that nothing like that has ever happened to that coaster and would never happen.
I actually laughed out loud when that car flew off the tracks. That was fake, and it looked fake. It didn't just look fake, it was comically fake. That is something that would happen in the imagination of someone who doesn't understand physics.
Here’s your reminder that because 75-90% of all films are lost forever, there are many more accidents featured in movies that us in the 21st century will never know about
*watches original new accident video.*. I'm an artist. I dont animate, but I can give some insight in things to look for to spot a fake video. 1. Lighting. Compare where the light is hitting the background and the focus of the video; in this case a coaster car. The coaster car in that video is well lit, on all sides. Thats a red flag. Esp since everything else im that video has a strong back light and is in shadow. If things are too shiny (bright highlights) thats another good indication its fake. 2. Do the colors match? The car has more color, or saturation, than any other object in the video. Drawing your eye to it. 3. Does the video defy physics. There is no acceleration or deceleration of the car in that video. 4. Audio. This one is trickier to detect for some people. You know how when you watch an English Dub of a Japanese movie you can kinda tell that the English is not coming from the set? Trying to describe this from personal exp: sound has layers, and interacts with its environment. Like how a voice sounds different in am empty room or one full of furniture. If all the sound sounds like its on a single layer, its likely a sound bite. 5. Media Literacy: is the video trying to elicit a strong emotional reaction, especially a negatve one. Some channels use outrage to feed their numbers. Five Minute Crafts (ahem, craps) is great at doing that by showing dangerous hacks. You go to the comments to yell at them and BOOM, more interaction for them, making the video more popular, and gaining YT's algorithm. Compare that to how Coaster College approaches ride accidents. He cites his sources, never uses inflammatory language to make something seem worse or scarier than it was, and speaks respectfully about the victims. Also: read the description, check into the person who posted the video, andmake sure you can find good sources. If something is real, you are at least gonna find it on a local news station. Horrible things happening, unfortunately 😮💨, make news outlets money. Suspicious Things to look for: Blurry or shakey video, video taken from a long ways away, esp if part of it is strangely clear, and does part of the video look too clear-like does an object stand out too much compared to the rest of the scene. Feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to explain.
The Ultimate question. How the heck did those people in the 1928 movie not lose their hats while on the coaster? Not enough hat pins in the world to accomplish that. ;)
The state report for the Fury 325 steel support fracture that happened last year at carowinds was released about 2 weeks ago btw. You should make a video about it.
My heart bleeds for how fast people believe that one car train is going over the crest, thinking that it's real. Not to mention the fact that there's obviously no propulsion system along the track, meaning that it would have to have been built into the car. Just no
Literally, someone would have to sabotage an inverted coaster in order for it to fly off the tracks like that. Like as in take the nuts and bolts off. Even the Mindbender's accident, as horrible as it was, was nowhere as catastrophic as the one depicted in Final Destination III, and that was before the stricter regulations of today.
I mean, it's a depiction of an accident that didn't really happen. It's just clear about being part of a story. Same as the Final Destination coaster, etc
Love the research that went into this! It's interesting to see how our fear of amusement rides have changed over time. Final destination really scared me as a kid and fuelled my fear of them today. I'm glad an informative youtuber exists to dispell myths about roller coasters, even if I'm still too scared to ride one...
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a coaster train flying completely off of the track in real life. Do you know of any derailments where every wheel detached from the track?
Not an accident, but certainly some fake rides I've seen a surprising number of people think are real (And also potentially dangerous) are the ones in the short film The Centrifuge Brain Project. Like the fake ride footage gets posted without context and people think it's real! All the special effects are pretty convincing honestly for being an 11 year old video.
I used to get this nonsense in my recommended all the time years ago, but fortunately after hitting 'not interested' a bunch of times, they seem to have stopped showing up; wish they would stop existing, as well NotLikeThis
I felt completely safe when I rode it a couple years ago, in the back car a few times no less. But I can’t imagine it’s ASTM compliant when it’s 97 years old, those strict standards didn’t exist back then. It hasn’t had any reported issues ever since the current operators came in, so it’s probably the safest it’s ever been.
I love near knotts berry farm, and they've got a pretty tame coaster, Sierra sidewinder. It's one where the cars rotate as it runs the track. I HATE it when I have to go up the lift him backwards. It's only got a lap bar, and it just so easy to imagine that thing opening and send me falling out of the car lol.
It's worth mentionning that the second clip shown is much older than 2023. I remember having seen it back in the mid 2010's.
I think it showed up in an old 'Debunked' video CC made years ago.
The date, location tag, and description's stated cause heavily imply that it was reposted in response to the support crack on Fury 325.
@@bigpboy1012100% what happened, stolen to capatlize and get clout
It's stupid how easily people can get confused about how these accidents happen. It really makes rollercoasters seem a lot worse than they really are.
True. Just looking at the movement of that car in the animation should give away that it's fake. It defies all physics

Fun fact: you have a higher chance of drowning in a bathtub then dieing on a rollercoaster.
You are more likely to die driving to the park than on a ride
In fact you have a higher chance of getting hit my 60 cars or something like that
@@dmlfan928probably more likely to die being hit by a car while you’re parking in your garage than dying on a roller coaster
