Marcel46 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 And I thought Euro-Mir backwards was intense. This is a whole new level! But the trains kinda confuse me: they look both weird and awesome at the same time. And besides, I love Schwarzkopf coasters! Too bad, that this company doesn't exist anymore. I think, that Anton Schwarzkopf was one of the most important people in coaster history (along with Werner Stengel).

robbalvey Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 We have saved the very BEST (or should I say the very WORST) for last! Goudurix at Parc Asterix! Ranked the WORST steel coaster in the world in last year's steel coaster poll! 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!)
cfc Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 ^But don't it look purty now--just like gettin' beat up with solid gold sledgehammer.
TyRush Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 The best part is how long the line is!!! This hurt my body by watching the video
A.J. Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I don't understand - people WANT to ride Goudurix? Robb, you did say to like the video if you wanted to ride Goudurix, right? Then again, you did say "like if you want US to ride it again", so...
Hhappy Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 thanks for bringing back those suppressed memories.. The thing I do like about the video is the non stop screams you hear from everybody that is riding it.. This must be one of the loudest (screams of pain etc) rides out there
scbt Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Whoever desingned that ride was obviously a masochist. That is a ride that should deserves to die.
televisedconfession Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 The bag policy on this ride BLEW my mind away. You HAVE to take your bags with you on this. I mean... what?! Crazy ride, crazy park, crazy GP.
netdvn Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Another case of a coaster with a sweet-looking layout that rides horribly. That ride rehab should hopefully lessen the rough/headbanging-ness of the ride.
EPfan1 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 What the ....!!!? This coaster seems to shake you around like an earthquake! Bumpy ride...I guess head banging is included in the ride isn't it?
rcjp Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I think I would actually like to try this and see what it is like (if I survive).
KingRCT3 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 That ride rehab should hopefully lessen the rough/headbanging-ness of the ride. Hahaha. No. Nothing can bring Goudurix to the "good side". The retracking was only about realigning the rails, I really doubt it can do something great. Moreover, despite the massive headbanging, the layout is dull... I mean, it's inversions to inversions, positives g's even on top of them, no zero-g, a dull first drop... Goudurix is pretty from the outside, that's it. I heard it was like the first coaster fully designed on computer. Anyone has more info about that?

ProwlerPrey Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I just want to know how anyone at Vekoma actually thought that the butterfly loop was a good idea. It just looks so wrong...
KingRCT3 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I just want to know how anyone at Vekoma actually thought that the butterfly loop was a good idea. It just looks so wrong... You know that Vekoma officially recognize this element is crap! Hurray!
rcjp Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I don't think the element itself is that bad, it just happens to be part of only two coasters which happen to be really rough.
XII Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Very nice video of a very sh*tty ride. For anyone who doubts the roughness of the ride, it is as bad, if not worse than people claim.
netdvn Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Moreover, despite the massive headbanging, the layout is dull... I mean, it's inversions to inversions, positives g's even on top of them, no zero-g, a dull first drop... I'm a huge fan of positive G's, so I love rides with back to back inversions. Especially unique ones that pull crazy forces. I'm not a fan of headbanging though. I hear butterfly loops done right are pretty fun (Tennessee Tornado), plus I love pretzel-shaped elements - If only Goudrix was smoother.
GeorgeT Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Robb...thanks a lot for the GREAT "NEW TPR Video every day in April" concept...much appreciated
TyRush Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Robb...thanks a lot for the GREAT "NEW TPR Video every day in April" concept...much appreciated Indeed! Love watching TPR Videos, they top my day off!
cfc Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Good job, Robb--a very enjoyable thread with nice surprises. And why not end the month with Goudurix?
GO MUFC!!! Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 The butterfly looks like a mutated sea serpent roll.I hope you've recovered Robb. No crap for me.
