Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

Re: Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

Let's not forget that these supports are on a coaster designed by the same psychopath who put I305 lift hill supports on a wooden roller coaster.


Posted while reading your mind.
 
This thing... Whatever it is. :?

So a park in Italy has a custom wacky worm whose name translates to "Valley of the Gnomes."

Complete with drive tires and casual copyright infringement!

^ It's **** awesome as well. Best big apple coaster by miles.

It's more like an outdoor dark ride (you know what I mean) than a coaster though.
 
I actually found that park before it was on RCDB by taking a different route back from Mirabilandia to where I lived in Formia... Talk about surprises, finding a park with 4 coasters that 'nobody' knew about. I didn't even have a real digital camera yet, either.
 
2000. Katun at Mirabilandia was open, but not Family Adventure.

I remember e-mailing Duane to give him the name of the park and list of coasters because none of it was in the DB. It was one of the first time I ever contacted him.

^I was actually the one who contacted him about putting Alabama Adventure's new Wacky Worm into the database. :lol:

I used to go to Fiabilandia as kid - must've been around 2000 or perhaps before. If I'd've known about RCDB back then I could've got there before you. :p Quite an interesting little park from what I remember... some decent theming and quirky little rides.
 
Came across this weird musical lift hill at Victory Kingdom on my recent trip to China. None of the other GH spinners did this so no idea whats going on.

The Gs that this coaster would pull out at speed </3

Who makes these?
Zhipao, the Hebei Zhongye spinoff who made that awful triple corkscrew coaster.
