Courtesy Flu$h Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Was searching through you tube and found this video. Not sure when or where it happened. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Eou1usX2zLw&search=roller%20coaster Anyone have any info on this?
TheArchfiend Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Thats from a few years back in Japan if I rememeber correctly. The peeps got stuck on the ride and had to be removed with the cherry-picker. Unfortunantly, the ride decided to drop back down to Earth while the riders were being removed. Good times were not had by all on this day. Also, almost every net posting of this video calls this a "roller coaster". Now, I'm not a roller coaster engineer but I think thats not a roller coaster. Shame on them for slandering the holy name of roller coaster!
Courtesy Flu$h Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 Crap I feared it was OFN or VOFN. edit: Thanks. I thought it was weird it came up under a search for roller coasters. yes it is a slow day at work.
Golfie Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 It keeps stopping when I'm playing it. Looks really freaky.
chaos Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Ouch! Did those people survive? What drop tower was that?
The Angry Darren Mullins Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 That is actually a space shot ride called the Sun Drop at Riverside Parkland in a town called Seocheon on the west coast of South Korea. I have visited this park and there is no coaster there. The report is in Japanese. I have seen two of these Sun Drop towers in Korea. The other one is at Beachland on Wolmido Island near Incheon. Despite these two being in Korea and being the only ones I have ever laid eyes on, I have a good reason to believe they are not Korean made as if they were, then more parks in Korea would have one.
Chadley Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 I know I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but I don't believe anybody died, but there were some pretty bad injuries. There's never a time I've seen that video where I didn't cringe.
stormrider Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Accident Yeah, I also cringed when I saw it, made a knot in my stomach.
The Angry Darren Mullins Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Nobody died in this accident, but the two rescue workers that fell were seriously injured.
