rcdude Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Two polar opposite videos. Wodan looks like one of the best wooden coasters in Europe (though not the best...that honor is reserved for the two Intamin woodies, or so I've heard) and Sequoia Adventure looks like one of the worst steel coasters in Europe (though not the worst...that dishonor is reserved for Goudurix, or so I've heard). I'd still like to get to both of these parks at some point, though if given the choice to visit only one I'd pick Europa Park. In either case, I think I need to get on a European TPR trip.
EPfan1 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I'd love to ride one of these one day! It's not definately sure but maybe i'll go to Gardaland this year... Screwed up ride, great footage = awesome video!
forces Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I actually didn't mind Sequoia Adventure...it was interesting, wierd, corky...and everybody needs an intense blood rush to their brain every once in a while. I mean I wouldn't want to have to wait in a line to ride it (thanks for the ERT TPR!!)...would like to check out the one in China for the difference.
disneymoc Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I have no doubt they could make a horror movie just around someone riding that contraption.
Meteornotes Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Sequoia Adventure is still one of the dumbest, most pointless, and uncomfortable rides I've ever experienced. I hated it so much I didn't bother with the one in China when I was there in 2008. So glad these things did not catch on. dt
ozziboy Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Watching that brought back the thumping headache that this evil torture device caused at the time. If I recall, the ops would deliberately brake it on the upside down sections for a little while, because they seemed to enjoy our pain! Were we actually trying to kill Nolan on that trip?
scbt Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Seriously, who thought the screaming squirrel would be a good idea?
royleinenga Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I've also done sequoia adventure once and I wil never do it again it caused me a lot of pain.
cfc Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I actually didn't mind Sequoia Adventure...it was interesting, wierd, corky... "Corky"? Or maybe just "quirky"?
robbalvey Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 Today's daily video! The "other" ride you see in the Sequoia Adventure video - The Vekoma Loop/Screw named "Magic Mountain!" EVERY REPLY YOU MAKE HERE WILL GIVE YOU ONE ENTRY TO WIN A BAG-O-CRAP! (Yes, multiple comments DO count for more than one - but don't be stupid and post like 20 times in a row and keep your posts ON TOPIC with the videos!)
rcjp Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 That actually seemed rather nice for a vekoma loopscrew (which will still never be really good).
robbalvey Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 That actually seemed rather nice for a vekoma loopscrew (which will still never be really good). It's honestly a pretty good one. And the fact that it has the newer Vekoma restraints really help.
scbt Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Looks a lot better than the Screaming Squirrel, but that's not really saying much. Also, nice brake noises Robb.
chieftom1 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Except for the noise of the train that looked like a good coaster to ride. Too bad it is also very short! Oh, well we take them as they come. I wish the amusement parks would ask US what we want to see. Now wouldn't that be awesome!!
markysharky17 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 That doesn't look that bad. My Bday is tomorrow so I can't wait to see what you post. I wanna win a bag of crap so badly!
Randomman295 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I'm kind of surprised I didn't hear any voice chops. I'm assuming that means that it's smooth for a Vekoma loopscrew? Looks decent from what I can tell.
GO MUFC!!! Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 The layout kinda looks like a cross between The Demon and Canyon Blaster to me.
bert425 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 That actually seemed rather nice for a vekoma loopscrew (which will still never be really good). It's honestly a pretty good one. And the fact that it has the newer Vekoma restraints really help. so it's basically "Canyon Blaster" with out the CircusCircus puke-pink aura?
Vtafro Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Almost didn't watch this because I saw the screaming squirrel in the poster. Glad I did that looked at least somewhat enjoyable, was the helix as shaky as it looked?
disney4me2001 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I know I'm crazy for saying this, but I actually want to try a Screaming Squirrel! I can see how it would be uncomfortable, but I still would love to try it myself! I liked today's video as well- looks like it's a fun ride! Robb's brake noise imitation was definitely the best part!
