Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

Here's the full layout of that thing...

...yeah...
 
That last corkscrew looks all kinds of wrong, and the overall layout picture makes it look more like a barrel roll than anything.
 
Re: Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

And that picture hasn't been stretched or altered in any way. The ride really is just that effed up.

Look at the turn off the lift... And the loops... Hell, look at the whole thing.
 
That's something that a newbie could put together in 5 minutes on NoLimits. C'mon, this is just pathetic, weird that they haven't left out any of the supports.
 
Has the Italian restaurant Ai Pioppi that builds their own rides ever been posted in this topic? If not, here are the coasters from rcdb for you

The big shuttle looks really good for a home-made ride

Another shuttle coaster...

And bags of sand (aka launched coaster)

Apart from the unusual roller coaster the restaurant also has this weird ass flat ride, named Giro della Morte (or Wheel of Death if you translate it into English).

I'm planning a trip to this place next season (it's only a tad more than 2h of drive from where I live), does anybody wish to join me? I don't want to die alone :D
 
^ Found that park a couple of months ago, looks really interesting!
I'm especially interested in their new for 2014 launch coaster that will have a good old weight drop launch!
 
Love this topic - the Ai Poppi park looks mad!

Did a bit of research and found a POV of their massive shuttle thing. The speed it picks up is pretty impressive.

I can't wait to see what the weight-drop one rides like.
 
I wasn't sure where to put this. But this will do.

Who want's to see a 1980s Power Ranger riding a Japanese Jet Coaster while stood up to the music of Star Wars....
Thought you might.

This was on the Jet Coaster at Korakuen Amusement Park (now La Qua) filmed sometime in the 80s.

Health And Safety would love this :p
