astroworldfan1 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 No they're not. RCDB doesn't list them as inversions. At first, I thought they were inversions, because they look like they flip the riders upside down, and then turn. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkscrew Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 ^Are any of those dives considered inversions? --Chris Nope, according to RCDB, they aren't. They almost go upside down, but not quite. I guess that's why they aren't counted as inversions. EDIT: Beat to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Moonsalt Scrambler This ride was kinda weird because it's called Cyclone and you're riding in logs with furry seats. Loop Coaster. They got rid of half of the ride and left the other hill standing there. Super Ls Coaster. This has a weird layout. Atomic Coaster. Weird trains. Jet Coaster. This one is pretty weird. Including its history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanlv Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 ^That shuttle loop in Nepal mentioned above is awesome. RCDB says it is human powered! Now that is a ride I want to go on! The ride in Pattaya Park in Thailand is a bit wierd. It looks pointless and has never operated. It continues to sit out there rotting. They also have a park in Bangkok with two new coasters that have never operated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I think this coaster deserves a nice "WTF?". Hell yes. I mean wtf? A wild mosue with a Inversion is that the only one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfreak519 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 http://rcdb.com/ig2387.htm?picture=12 I always thought this powered looping coaster at Parc Saint Paul looked pretty weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacups Make Me Sick Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ultra Twister was such a crazy looking coaster (back in the day)...too bad it didnt last long. www.rcdb.com/ig45.htm?picture=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagro5 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I effin loved Ultra Twister! I rode it when Astroworld was still open. I didn't think that it was rough at all, but back then I didn't think any ride was rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a BANKED LIFT HILL I see? Yes, it is! When this Vekoma Mouse opened at Wiener Prater, it had a spinning tube around the lift hill. That, plus the tilted lift hill, means that when you rode it, it felt as if you were going upside down. (I think! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnumForce Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Honestly while not way out there I think all of Kennywood's coasters are fairly "Odd" Thunderbolt has the huge drop straight out of the station and the biggest drop at the end. Jackrabbit has the lift in the middle and the most insane drop off a lifthill ever. Phantom's revenge is an insane Hybrib with the second drop being 80 feet longer then the first. Racer is really just one long coaster with the station in the middle of the ride. None of them are normal, Heck exterminator is the most normal of them all and it is an enclosed spinning mouse with theming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollerman87 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Two homemade coasters. In order to truly appreciate the weirdness of them, here are vids: Homemade Woodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force 310 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 All of the coasters made by O.D. Hopkins qualify for this category in some way or another, but these three especially. The company specializes in water rides. Texas Tornado -- Look at this part of the ride in general, and look at this loop. Cliff Hanger/Red Devil -- The pre-lift has a vertical loop in it. The latter half of the ride looks like a jet coaster. Also, the coaster, as well as the whole park, is on the side of a mountain, from what I gather. New Wild Mouse -- Self-explanatory.
