TyRush Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Any airtime in the back seat on the "big" drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I do like those really long train rides. Because they are so long they have a different pace than a normal coaster. The way they speed up and slow down is a bit different, and makes them fun. Nothing amazing of course, but I do like them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disney4me2001 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Nice! One thing I like about Jaguar at Knott's is the long train- it makes for a unique experience in my opinion. But the layout of this one looks much better! The only thing that I think might make it even better is if it had the same helix at the end that Jaguar has. Also, it's crazy to know that the train is longer! According to RCDB, Viktor Vandorm has a 20 car train, whereas Jaguar has 15 car trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Viktor Vandorm is one "kiddie" coaster that doesn't make you feel ashamed when you ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwgbdork Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 soooo random but if is that kinda speed for that kinda intended ridership, why not have a giant ass train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstDropJay Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 This actually looks kinda fun. Gotta love me some weird coaster!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) These video's just remind me how much fun the 09 Scandi trip was, can't wait to go back there Edited April 21, 2013 by Hhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CViolaOfficial Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Love the videos every day this month. Pregnant woman walk through scared me quite a bit. Definitely not something you see every day!!!! As always the Wacky Worms are fun coaster credits. Keep up the good work TPR! Love you guys. Hope to sign up for a tour soon.

chieftom1 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Can you imagine Six Flags or Cedar Point putting a Dag Fart coaster on one of their properties?? Some people wooled be so offended they'd call for a boycott while others will see the humor in it all and go there more often to spite those who are against it.

chieftom1 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The theming is what's truly missing in American amusement parks! It would be nice to go to Six Flags or Cedar Point properties and see them theme the rides to the themed section than just making the station house a part of the theming and the rest is just open space. Sure it costs $$ but you'd think they'd want to give us our monies worth rather than pay us 'minimal theme service', LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenflames Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Wow, some of these videos are crazy. That "pregnant lady" thing could definitely never exist in America, because it would probably cause people to see it as "emotionally disturbing and traumatic." But these videos are all perfect examples of why TPR rocks. Thanks for bringing a small bit of theme park fun to this month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chieftom1 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Wodan sure was a good woodie. Loved the twisty turns and the speed it appreared to have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chieftom1 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Dang, that Viktor Vanorm would be awesome if they took half that train away. What a simple but speedy coaster to fill a 'family' niche that's needed at many amusement parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Today's Daily April video is the world's only S&S Free Fly coaster - Tranan!

Hhappy Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Such a fun (and surprising) ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) This was a great, if odd, coaster. And keeping our arms out was sometimes scary! Â And too short a ride, but then this version was the first of it's kind, yes? Â Just like Oblivion for the dive coasters.

StealthFan Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Oh that ride was all sorts of awesome. It's such a shame there is only one and no one else has built any more yet. This ride scared the hell out of me but was so much fun! Please someone buy another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Lots of fun, and definitely an unusual experience when you swing over the top of the track. I like how an actual bird is flying around the ride at the end of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Cow Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Looks like some pretty awesome headchoppers! Definitely the kind of quirky concept that S&S would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I really want to see more of these get built, or have one of the newer iterations of the Technology make an appearance in an attraction. My guess is the cost is prohibiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPfan1 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Victor Vandorm...seems like when the end of the train leaves the station, the crazy caterpillar head is already back in the station! But quite fun ride I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPfan1 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 And for Tranan...why hasn't a random little German park gotten this ride? It seems to be awesome! A coaster for the whole family (even my mom could ride it ) S&S needs to build more of them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottom_feeder_13 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I really want to see more of these get built, or have one of the newer iterations of the Technology make an appearance in an attraction. My guess is the cost is prohibiting. I'm pretty sure that it's actually pretty cheap (maybe $3-4 million) and the real limiter on sales is the dire capacity.
