GigaG Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 So we know there are some messed up coasters. This post is dedicated to those in China and Japan (even knockoffs). Among the latest non-knockoffs is a Zamperla Motocoaster with a lift hill. http://rcdb.com/10835.htm?p=0 On a similar note, this one sounds like a knockoff Motocoaster- http://rcdb.com/10631.htm Here is a loop-screw with a double loop from our "friends" making that horrid-looking knockoff SLC and 11-inversion coaster (Hebei Zhongye Metallurgical Equipment Manufacturing Co.,Ltd, or 河北中冶冶金设备制造有限公司 in Chinese)- http://rcdb.com/10983.htm?p=0 This park also has a peculiar Zamperla junior Twister Coaster and what appears to be a Roller Skater knockoff. Or what about the Chance Toboggan knockoff, the only coaster made by Fun Xian Machinery Manufacturing Ranger Company- http://rcdb.com/10942.htm?p=40921 What is the most screwed up/unusual/knocked off coaster you have ever encountered?

Voxelmatic Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Tell me, how is this not screwed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Any PAX designed roller coaster... Come on, someone look me in the eyes and tell me they were not drunk when designing these coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxelmatic Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 ^Exactly what I just posted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaG Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Tell me, how is this not screwed up? Besides the half-loop flat spike, that loop is tiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxelmatic Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 This one is also pretty messed up. But this loop support... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Can we put Manhattan Express (Roller Coaster) here as well? It looks nice, but it likes to play rough. Also, pretty much any Japanese Jet Coaster since they look to be built and designed in RCT3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I thought that the Conny-Land Cobra was built with the inverted spike so that a support structure didn't have to extend far behind the half loop, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 PAX must have been partyin' hard before building those coasters. Also shouldn't Drachen Fire (god rest it's soul) be included? It was an Arrow, but it wasn't very Arrow like at all. Also, Hydra looks pretty unconventional. A twist before the lift hill, an oddly shaped tilted Immelmann, a zero g roll, a corkscrew THEN a cobra roll. And Ninja at SFOG also seems a little unorthodox to me. I had no idea that the first inversions were called a "butterfly" I just called them "two weird loops" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Am I the only one who thinks that the inverted spike on the Conny-land Cobra is a brilliant idea? A totally different sensation from any other coaster I know of on the planet. Also, since the lift hill is at an angle that's more than vertical, would that count as technically the steepest lift hill in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 This has to be on here: Also, since the lift hill is at an angle that's more than vertical, would that count as technically the steepest lift hill in the world? Look at the picture in this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christianscoasters Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 It's a fantastic ride, but I think Maverick at CP is definitely a "screwed-up" ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 When I came across the Magic Steed one day, I thought, "That has to have the smallest-ever vertical loop." I mean, the ride itself is only 39.3' tall! I didn't even remember it was a Pax creation, but that makes perfect sense. However, the dreaded Pinfari ZL-42 coasters are only 36.1', with a 31.8' tall loop, so they may be the winners here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 In my opinion this one is pretty screwed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Am I the only one who thinks the Zamperla motocoaster with a lift hill in the first page looks awesome? Cant believe i never saw that on RCDB seeing as i check that site for new additions more regularly than I am proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 We all knew Wild Wind was eventually getting here. Am I the only one that did not know about the existence of this completely MESSED UP little mini-coaster?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, since the lift hill is at an angle that's more than vertical, would that count as technically the steepest lift hill in the world? I thought it was pretty cool. Before RCT3 stopped working on my laptop, I'd recreate it many times and place it in many of my parks. Then, it stopped working. I thought it was an ingenious idea, just would be nicer if it were developed by a better manufacturer like Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOE Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'd have to put anything by Golden Horse into the screwed up coaster category. They are just not quite right, which I learned after an unfortunate trip on a few of their creations. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 ^Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a good pic of it in action like that. Definitely looks nerve-wracking! I've heard it actually is a good ride, despite being a Vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
