Homer Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Done by Draculus at FloridaThrills. http://www.floridathrills.net/draculus/swampthing.wmv LMAO at that video. Swamp Thing at Vekoma standards and general publics and their slang. It was one of the best videos ever; It had: -VeComa!!!! In all its pain! -General Public's thinking that Swamp Thing goes upside down. -Kid saying "Cowabunga!" (he watches too much Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 That was funny...Gotta love Jr. Death machines. It gort me laughing when the kids said "Daddy that goes upside down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardwalkandBaseball4Ever Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Man, I swear.... Swamp Thing is the worst ride in the park..... Its actually worse than the video. Its sad when you gotta ride the wooden roller coaster for the smoother ride. Vekoma makes CG's Okochobee Rampage, too? Don't they? At least that one is smooth, if a tiny ride.

josephwanek Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Do all the Jr. SLCs squeal like that one does? Gotta love the quality Vekoma engineering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbeal Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 That has got some squeaking issues. I've never ridden one of these, just the converted Vampire at Chessington. I can't imagine them being so bad, but it seems that they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Shankman Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I rode Swamp Thing at Wild Adventures, and yeah, it was crap. I mean, it's really sad....what doesn't Vekoma understand? Ugh..I don't even know what to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh..I don't even know what to say. I'm fairly certain that Vekoma is the cheapest coaster builder -- so the old addage, "You get what you pay for." I don't know why the Swamp Things are so rough.... They are tame offerings. After all, the Vekoma roller skaters that are also in both parks are fairly smooth riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 ^The rollerskaters and mine trains are the only good thing Vekoma has ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Do all the Jr. SLCs squeal like that one does? I can only attest to this one but Runaway Reptar at PKI has the Vekoma squeal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman89 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 That movie was packed full of things to say on roller coasters! Screw whatever comment I was going to say while on a coaster, I'll now replace it with "Geranamo!" or another of the suave sayings that could be heard. Ooh, I can't wait.

Canobie Fan Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 That video is pointless.. Why take a POV on an invert if your not in the FRONT SEAT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Holy crap! And Swamp Thing is only a Junior Vekoma ! LMAO! "Daddy that thing goes upside down!" "Cowabunga!" "Geronimo!" ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draculus Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 That video is pointless.. Why take a POV on an invert if your not in the FRONT SEAT... I have one in the front seat, but I just thought this one was too good. My favorite part was when I screamed "JESUS! THIS IS TOO BUMPY!", then the kid behind me goes, "What are you talking about?!? This is fun!!!".... ... too priceless. Gotta love the GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
