ILoveRides Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I wonder where it would end up on Mitch's poll. Maybe DEAD last? GROAN... That was -terrible- Iduno... I thought that was a KILLER joke.

MrSum1_55 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Wow. Not only is this project just horrible, but doesn't a death due to extreme positave G forces sound like a very painful way to die, if not an uncomfortable one? They might as well have the ride stop while its upside down 200 feet off the ground, and open the restraints or something.
osm Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I wonder where it would end up on Mitch's poll. Maybe DEAD last? Nope, still better than Goudurix
dragonskeep Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 We didn't even get to guess the new ride, how are we supposed to get excited about it. In the end they will over hype the ride experience and you won't actually die. It will bring you near death and then just not deliver. In case it does actually deliver as advertised, I suggest getting the other credits first.
cal1br3tto Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I don't think this is disturbing or inappropriate. But I am pretty liberal with regards to what I find entertaining. On some level I kind of want to see this built, just for shock value. But no riders, please.
Chroniq Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I've ridden this and it's totally overrated. Superman at Darien Lake is much more effective and has way more airtime. Chris "too soon!" Connolly
DougMJr Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 The f#@%??? This is so messed up. Now what happens when you're halfway up the hill and you decide you don't want to ride anymore, then you're really screwed. I'll pass on this credit. Also, why the clothoid loops? If you're going to die anyway g-force shouldn't be a concern.
rollin_n_coastin Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I prefer the original "Mister Bonestripper" myself. The loading is novel and the ending more intense
805Andrew Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Wouldn't a better euthanasia coaster be an airtime machine where the restraints automatically unlock halfway through the ride on a huge airtime hill. At least one's last moments before death would be more enjoyable
beatle11 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 ^We are halfway there already with El Toro.
thrillrider Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I found an interesting story about someone that actually designed a coaster with one thing in mind......to kill you. He calls it the Euthanasia Coaster. Here is the actual story... http://www.ozy.com/flashback/roller-coaster-of-death/37275?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=OZYpost Death is terrifying, so why not make it exhilarating instead? That’s the purpose of the “Euthanasia Coaster,” a giant big-dipper design aimed at taking its passengers through a series of extreme drops and loops that would create euphoria and then kill them by starving the brain of oxygen. Thoughts?
rcjp Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 ^Oh, I see . . . . . . Quite bizarre, but yes, I guess it would provide a "fun" painless death. But doesn't it a fair bit of time under massive Gs for someone to die? I wonder how long the ride would be.
Password121 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 ^Ive seen this story many times before. I imagine it would depend on how extreme the forces are. If they are unimaginably extreme, I'd assume to could be rather quick. Internal organs could rupture rather quickly, maybe even before you die due to lack of oxygen in the brain. Not a scientist, just thinking out loud.
VF15 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I'd heard of this thing a while back. I think it's just a weird concept because I don't know why you'd choose to kill yourself on a roller coaster of all things, but that's just me. Based on these statistics, I doubt that it would ever get built because it would probably be way too expensive. From Wikipedia.
thrillrider Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 In the story, he claims that it would cost 3 times as much as kingda ka did. 25 million x 3.
Password121 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 ^Wait no this isn't a serious concept that could be built depending on cost. That's not even an option at all. It's just an idea that incorporates physics and g forces, not a serious intention as a way to die.
FaithPlus1 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 There was already a coaster that was close to euthanizing people. Thank God they replaced with Banshee.
djcoastermark Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 If it ever got built, would there be many people willing to be ride-ops ? Clean-up after each ride would have to be , um, difficult?
thrillrider Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Kinda reminds me on the Mr Bonestripper coaster from the movie "nothing but trouble".
