I've ridden this before and it's actually intense (in a good way). Sure it's rather odd but it actually provides a okay ride. It's not as bad as the other x car coasters. Besides that the view from upside down is amazing.

Togos Wild Mouse's looks fun!

 

That's the first Wild Mouse I've seen with a loop!

[FLIPDUDE]

^There's another one posted somewhere int his thread, but thats the first wild mouse Ive seen with a corkscrew!

Although details are scarce and photos non-existent, on Rolling Cycle the coaster has pedals and you may indeed have to pedal through part of the course:

I love this one just for it's name and interesting location (partly on a platform in a dome) - Hyper Kid Coaster (sponsored by Ritalin?).

I want to know why this coaster is called Rick's Delight. I want to know this immediately.

(Nothing unusual about it besides the name.)

[downunder]

^That name certainly caught my eye when I was looking at new coasters under construction on rcdb. It seems Japan doesn't have the monopoly on bizarre/funny coaster names. I can only imagine the things that would delight a dutchman, red lights and Amsterdam keep coming to mind.

 

At least it's a good coaster.

Rick the Frog is the park's mascot.

[downunder]

^Does the frog engage in raunchy antics, we now know who rick is, but what is his delight?

[Rct3man777]

Remember, the munchlings may stumble upon this forum and read that! *WHISPER!*

[downunder]

^Thanks for pointing that out, I changed my use of words there.

 

His delight is probably riding the Eurofighter he has loaned his name too, that would be my delight among other things.

The Gao at Mitsui Greenland is pretty weird with all of the structures.

Oh, that makes sense, then.

 

...Unlike something such as "Superspeed Cool-Cool Bear."

Sorry if any of these have already been posted. Can't remember every single one I saw on here. Lol

 

 

It's just the name....

Someone took the idea of SheiKra and gave the coaster a simple name.

Just kinda strange.

Asia doesn't really know how to name coasters, now do they? (Not being racist for the people that go extreme on minor things...)

[bdstrom]

How about this? A stand up, inverted, spinning rollercoaster! Now thats weird!

 

[DBru]

^^^Umm, how are any of those coasters weird?

[Coasterlvr_nc]

^ Because they are all combined together.

[DBru]

^Baby Coaster, Dive Coaster, and OCC Motocoaster are combined together?

When I was a kid (I think maybe 10 or 11) me and my family visited a MANUAL theme park in France! Seriously, there were no attendants or anything, you operated the rides yourself, and it was really dangerous (but in a good way ) I remember one ride was a sort of roundabout with cars that went up down as well as around and there were kids just hanging off the cars! My parents didn't get any pictures of course, and don't even remember the exact location apart from that it was in or near Luberon.

MattyD is not liking all the third person talking! Seriously, I was enjoying this topic but it seems to have gone to 'Weird RollerCoaster Enthusiasts' rather than 'Weird Rollercoasters'!!!

 

The site I saw this one on said it was fully functioning and built in a school gym! I honestly can't see how this is fully functioning (you'd come off on the corners surely?!) but if it is then it must fit into the wierd rollercoasters catagory!

 

Hope to see some more in actual parks soon, this topic is really interesting!

According to some websites I visited, this thing is real and functioning:

 

"Stretching out to the corners of the gymnasium, the indoor roller coaster at Royal Oak Intermediate School appears gargantuan compared to its creators. Twenty-four feet tall at its highest point and occupying 10,000 square feet, the fully-functional ride towers over the 135 eighth-graders who are its designers, builders and decorators. Students and four teachers have spent thousands of hours measuring, sawing, constructing, painting and decorating the wooden structure over the last three weeks."

^You can't actually ride that though can you? The captions say "fully functional" but how the heck would a car stay on the track?

[Teacups Make Me Sick]

I dunno if this coaster is built yet (RCDB says its still under construction). But JEEZE THIS LOOKS FREAKING COOL!!!!

^That does look cool. PAX seems to make weird looking rides, but they look like they'd be fun to ride.
