FLIPDUDE Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I am fascinated by Chance Toboggans. Â Hey, that would be a great line! One character calls another, and says that in same the abrupt fashion as "I'm a suicide risk." Â Ha ha! If only I could get my roller coaster script produced (and yes, I have written one!) Â Â O_O You have got to try and get it produced. Â Whatever its about, annother rollercoaster movie is always good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLIPDUDE Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I alwyas wanted to ride Typhoon as well, it always LOOKED fun but Robb and Elissa made it sound like the most horrible ride ont he planet. Â Then again they did the same thing with the Manahatten express, and, while I understand where they're coming from, I still think it was a rather fun enjoyable ride.

downunder Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I got to ride the Chance Taboggan at Little Amerricka last year. Truth be it known I'm surprised you don't have to sign a waiver to ride any of the steel coasters at Little A. The Toboggan is interesting to look at but squeezing into that thing - I felt like I was the gimp in pulp fiction being squeezed back into his box (I'm 6'3" 200 lbs, so I'd hate to think how Robb and Casey the giant fared in it together). Â Here's the Orphan Rocker from Australia, this coaster was built in 1988 and has never opened to this day, there have been rumours about the safety of the ride, and I would say it would make many children orphans if it ever did open (I believe only the owners family members have ever ridden it - must have been trying to get the life insurance): Â http://www.rcdb.com/ig1870.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunder Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 ^Did you read my post? His family are the only one's who got to ride it, and as observed by others the photo states they are sitting in a stationary train. Â The rumours are this one will never pass a safety inspection.

FLIPDUDE Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 ^If you read hte description, it syas theyre jsut sitting in a stopped train. Â And yeah, I posted more info and pics of the orphanr ocker ac ouple pages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 ^Wrong.  Roller Coaster: Orphan RockerAmusement Park: Scenic World (Katoomba, New South Wales Australia) See also: Thumbnails Picture: 17 of 18 (Previous / Next)  Photo: Phillip Hammon  Picture of a stopped train.  EDIT: Oops, got beat to it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 ^^Sorry Flipdude, I didn't realise you had already put up Orphan Rocker, everyone in Sydney is fascinated by it. Â I'd be up to Katoomba in a second if it ever did open. Â For those who are interested in the Orphan Rocker, here is a thread on an Australian site that has a lot of detailed info, go through all the pages, there is some especially interesting information from a user called "shotgun facelift": Â http://www.parkz.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=141&st=0&start=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollwithit Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 This one looks extremely dangerous and looks like it was put together in 5 minutes in a backyard. http://www.rcdb.com/id3050.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaLaVibora Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I alwyas wanted to ride Typhoon as well, it always LOOKED fun but Robb and Elissa made it sound like the most horrible ride ont he planet. Then again they did the same thing with the Manahatten express, and, while I understand where they're coming from, I still think it was a rather fun enjoyable ride.  To me, it's #3 for roughest coaster I've been on. For me, number 1 is Beast. 2 is Texas Giant, 4 and 5 are the Ninjas (at SFOG and SFStL).  I haven't ever done Manahatten Express, and probably never will.

Force 310 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Speaking of weird flying coasters: Behold Komet. Located on the third floor of a mall, seven feet tall, strange enclosed cabins, runs on a single rail connected to the roof by an unstable-looking series of tubes. It closed in 2005 for some reason. Â And contrary to popular belief, this was the world's first flying coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja may be rough, but come on its not that bad.  -Justin "Rode Ninja 5 times in a row on Friday with no headache" Seabaugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Id on't remember the Beast being rough at all. Are you sure oyu dont mean Son of Beast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Everything depends on where you ride on a train and what train you specifically ride on. Beast isn't that bad towards the front of the train, while the back row is brutal. And then there are extreme cases like Texas Giant and Boardwalk Bullet, where one row is fairly enjoyable, but the row directly behind it is flat out brutal. I'm sure I could make an extensive list documenting the good seats from the bad seats on numerous coasters. People, including myself at times, don't realize how much a ride experience can change from one seat to another. Because of this, if I have only ridden a coaster in one spot, I try to take that experience with a grain of salt when comparing it to other opinions. Â This isn't exclusive to roughness either. Most coasters have a considerably different experience between the front of the train and the back, or the left side from the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerman87 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 ^Yeah, classic example would be Goliath at SFMM. The front offers a great view of the park, awesome airtime, and a terrifying view of the drop. The back offers horribly strong g's and a very strong gut wrenching brake effect.

downunder Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 ^^I rode the Beast last year back row in the morning, I have never been punished more on a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchboogie3 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Goliath at SFMM back row is pure awesome. I can't get enough Helix From Hell. Bring me to the brink of blacking out and I'm a happy guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
