They also have a custom Schwarzkopf:

That's actually a clone of Nessie at Hansa Park, but without the loop...

So, people remember that waterfall-Log-Flume thing I posted at Knight Valley a bit ago?

Turns out the rocks are the back of the park's hotel, haha...

That's it from the other side.

*feels silly*

STILL COOL.

Also, THE BOOSTER <3

This Log Flume used to have laser guns attached to the logs. But apparently they removed the guns a year or two ago. They still have all the glowing targets though.

Ohhh that bump at 1:57 looks awful!

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

The log flume shooter was actually a pretty clever idea! Anybody know why they removed the guns? Was it technical malfunction or people getting hurt?

The vekoma/arrow coaster looks awesome! Sure it looks like it would hurt like hell but the layout looks fun! ^^ The coolest bit was the on-ride-photo at the end though :lol:

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

That is nuts! Is it even safe??? :shock:

It's the same model as Jr. Gemini at Cedar Point.

I've never seen another one of these Intamin kiddie coasters, so it's cool to learn about these other ones!

I think that was when Arrow thought a "Smooth Transition" was a cocktail drink.

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

I love how you enter the corkscrews at a 90 degree angle on that arrow looper.

EDIT
Look at this lift

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

This support structure is slightly wierd, coaster looks nice though.

^Picture isn't working

EDIT: To avoid double posting here's a POV of Big Boom Roller Coaster in Japan with two things I find weird in it. The Shallow slope into the lift hill and the brakes.

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

Has anyone mentioned The Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain yet? That ride was another one that was just made for the topic.

[Picture fixed - Hixee]

You may have fixed the first picture, Hixee, but my battle to embed a photo has been won with the picture of the trains Thank Minecraft for my new understanding of stuff like that.

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

The coaster itself isn't exactly weird, but, you know Cyclone at Southport which Amanda fabbly took a chainsaw to?

Never fear, in 2003 a clone was built... In India.

And the company that built it, the "Blackpool Leisure Amusement Consultancy", also built, in India, something which LOOKS to be a clone of Zipper Dipper as far as I can tell? Shares its name...
