Samuel Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm going to spare myself and not click that...whatever makes people curious about watching people die in accidents, I don't have it.

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 While that news is sad and horrifying, I just have one question: Unless I overlooked it, is there ONLY a seatbelt on that ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 ^No, you can see the restraints under the tarp but it may be a case that the restraints don't actually lock and the seat belt is the only thing holding them on. Here's a picture withouth the tarp. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsdude360 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Here's the original video on Facebook (definitely DISTURBING).It seems like she is holding up the whole time, and is smashed against the ground. That has to be the most disturbing thing I've seen yet! Count me out on Chinese knockoff rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Are the restraints seriously only held in place via that belt? if they are, then that's very, very shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 This was the model involved: a Space Travel/Top Spin Ride BNST-20B from Beston. Space Travel Ride is a new kind of thrill ride that is designed by amusement rides manufacturers. We also call it the outdoor giant ride or the top spin ride. The whole equipment could rotate 360 degree which will give passengers the most thrill feelings that they will feel like they are wandering in the space. When it rotates to the top, the whole cabin will rotates with inertance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If anyone isn't currently reading through their website you're missing out. This one is particularly entertaining. Carnival Kangaroo Jumping Rides Ignore the Zamperla logos, they totally made this. Kangaroo happy jumping is also known as self control Kangaroo, Its cute cartoon image makes it more compelling. After moving the kangaroo will rotary and jumping with the music. When you join it you will up and down with the kangaroo as well as rotation with the kangaroo. Sitting on it likes flying in the Sky. It is very comfortable, totally relaxed and very happy. It is operated by a control box. When the ride works, the players rotate along the long track and feel that they are experiencing a wonderful, it is made of fiberglass reinforced plastics(FRP), equipped with gorgeous lighting, great music, Non-fading and durable painting. The whole designs in updated cartoon figures and colorful painting make kiddy play merrily and enjoy great happiness. They are widely used in many places, such as, theme park, playground, and kindergarten etc. We believe the kids will like it very much. While not entirely related to the accident, it does give us some context about the type of manufacturer we're dealing with. PS: Does anyone want to buy a Beston Gatekeeper? ... or perhaps a "Naughty Castle for Kids"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 These Chinese companies don't know any better than to just poorly reverse engineer (or just flat out steal if they get contracted by a company to build). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angry Darren Mullins Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 It has just been confirmed that Beston has sold its first Beston Gatekeeper to the Wanda Group. Wanda chairman, Wang Jianlin says "the Beston Gatekeeper will be a thrilling addition to our lineup of rides and will appear at most Wanda parks in our crusade against Disney". Jianlin also said "once we are done with Disney, we are going to invade the American market and the Beston Gatekeeper is going to be a use part of our empire that will eventually swallow up Six Flags, Cedar Fair and other companies in America". Jianlin also went on to say that "Cedar Point's original is no match for a bunch of Beston Gatekeepers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 You're all jealous, Beston make rides that are literally Disney level! (video ripped off from SoCal Theme Parks 360 ) I love how they push the design thoughts all the way to making scary noises on purposes..: Or do they?

The Angry Darren Mullins Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 When I have enough money, I will build an entire park to showcase Beston rides. I know there are other manufacturers out there, but I will go with Beston. I hope that doesn't throw anyone off. The Beston Gatekeeper will be the signature ride at my park and I am going to wait until Christmas time to get that discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like Theme Parks. Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Here's a quote from their "Miami Trip Ride" (mini Moby Dick ride): The miami ride for sale has been a favorite amusement attraction, with beautiful background, strong safety equipment, 22kw motor, which make it work quickly & exciting. With the miami fair ride working, along with the wonderful music, passengers will feel relax & happiness. Next time, when they feel pressful, or happy, or alone, think something quitely, first come into their mind is your miami, instead of cigerate. So I guess they're claiming that their kiddie rides prevent children from smoking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of smoking, the children will be too busy tripping out in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
