robbalvey Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Great footage! It might be just me, but Cascabel doesn't seem to go as fast or high as some other shuttle loops, was it noticeably any slower than the others? Slower than Montezoomas, but not by that much. It's certainly faster than the weight drop versions.
Myself Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Count me as someone who thinks that Trabant/Matterhorn combo ride looks awesome! Â Also really like the Cascabel footage!
Geauga Dog Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I wasn't able to see the photo of the Trabant/Matterhorn ride on the Twitter page but it sounds like it might be one of those Dancing Fly rides Sartori offers. Â http://www.sartoriamusement.com/en/prodotti_dettagli.asp?ID=104 Â I wouldn't mind seeing something like this in a U.S. park.
Myself Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 That's it exactly! Thanks for that...would've driven me crazy until I eventually found it.
RCjunkie Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Finally got around to watching the Superman video. That does look much better than your average Morgan Hyper. This ride and Phantom's Revenge showed that Morgan definitely had the ability to design some great, unique rides. Â I agree, after watching this video I would like to ride Superman for comparison to their other Hypers. This track layout looks unique compared to other Morgans. This ride showed that Morgan definitely had the ability to design some great and unique rides but unfortunately the majority of their Hypers were just average like Wild Thing.
kailisun98 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Ole laser seems to be holding up just fine. Hopefully that doesn't change over the coming years.
thrillerman1 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 ¡Olé! laser seems to be holding up just fine. Hopefully that doesn't change over the coming years.  Fixed.
robbalvey Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Today we were at "Chinese Knock-Off Park-O-Death" in Mexico! We are currently riding a Chinese knock-off loop/screw in Mexico! Wish us luck! TPR's ultimate moment of shame - having to steal Mexican kids to ride the Chinese Knock-off mouse... In Mexico! Who do you think made this roller coaster? At least we had one kid with us, so it wasn't totally creepy! (just mostly creepy!) Yes, we actually survived the Chinese Knock-Off Loop/Screw in Mexico, and oddly enough, it was better than all the Chinese Knock-Off coasters in China! And, yes, of course there will be a POV! The ENTIRE park was nothing but Chinese Knock-Off rides! Everything we saw had the "SBL" logo on it! We totally made it though "Chinese Knock-Off Park-O-Death!", and it was actually quite nice!
Aceattack52 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Ok, nice, nice. It looks like everyone will be able to get a good bit of Wacky Worms. Which makes me very jealous.
Geauga Dog Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I never thought we'd see Chinese knock-offs on this side of the Pacific. I guess I feel spoiled with having all the legitimate manufacturers producing our rides.
cfc Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Was the park named "El Mondo China," or something like that? Edited March 28, 2013 by cfc
Kyle Coleman Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Was there a chineese knock off slc that just barely made it through the course? If not, it should get one of those next.
Sidra Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Hey that corkscrew shot looks pretty hot. Can't wait to see that POV.
thrillerman1 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I like how you captured that castle looking thingy in the middle of the corkscrew.
robbalvey Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I like how you captured that castle looking thingy in the middle of the corkscrew. Pretty sure that was just some random house! lol I believe it's actually well outside of the park.
thrillerman1 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 ^ Well your photo and video skills continue to amaze and amuse none the less. I love all these Mexican updates!
robbalvey Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I'm uploading a POV of the Mexican Chinese Knock-Off Loop-Screw as I type this!
robbalvey Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 VIDEO! Mexican Chinese Knock-Off Loop-Screw! Yes, you read that correctly!
australianalex Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 "Mexican Chinese Knock-off Loop Screw" is possibly the most terrifying thing I have ever heard
thrillerman1 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 That actually didn't look too bad..compared to Goudurix. Well seriously it looked fairly ok and not too painful. At least no one died.
cfc Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 ^Even the Chinese can't come up with something as bad as Godurix, although they certainly can come close.
Dinnwitted Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 "Mexican Chinese Knock-off Loop Screw" is possibly the most terrifying thing I have ever heard For a knock-off ride, it is pretty good. Let me get this right, it is a Mexican knock off of a Chineese knock off of an Arrow loop and screw model?
cfc Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 ^It's a Chinese knock-off loop screw in a Mexican park.
Vtafro Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Watching that POV, it looks less awful then the Steamin' Demon. Although that's probaby not saying much.
robbalvey Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Another mini-update! Follow us on Twitter for LIVE updates! Today we visit Selva Magica in Guadalajara! Any idea what track this might be? Anyone know what train KidTums is in?
