nemesis-storm Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Some of you guys may not be aware of this coaster. I think it's one of the silliest or most interesting coasters I've been on It's the Dragon Flyer at Camelot Theme Park, here in the UK http://www.rcdb.com/pd277.htm The coaster is a petrol (gasoline) powered. :shock: There's some kind of engine (go kart?) situated in the dragon (front car) and a ride op controls the speed of it etc, as it goes along its track. Heres a couple of pics... The coaster in the station, The controls :shock:
memphish Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Fire in the Hole - Blazing Fury. That ride always seems to elicit a WTF :shock: from riders.
Angry_Gumball Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 http://www.rcdb.com/id1988.htm This is the funkiest coaster I've ever seen...it looks like it was made of some kid's toys.
CoasterFanatic Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 That's funny. I took this picture at IAAPA in 2001. Always wondered where that thing ended up. My vote for weirdest coaster would probably also go to: Blazing Fury - 90% lifthill, 10% coaster[/url] IAAPA 2001
kenshinmac Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 lol that first one has a middle track that is probably where the go kart wheel runs... Probably won't move in the rain...
Rugged One Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 One I definitely plan on getting to this year. http://www.rcdb.com/ig2412.htm?picture=2
Canobie Fan Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 http://www.rcdb.com/id2880.htm and http://www.rcdb.com/id887.htm lol....
coaster1 Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 The PAX Cobra was set to debut at the State Fair of Texas in 2002, but due to Russian laws, the ride was cancelled in the long run .. good thing too since now they are in discussion with 2 other major manufacturers for new perm. coasters on the fairgrounds once again (1 steel, 1 wood) Still it's a goofy looking ride .. don't know if I would of liked seeing that on the property.
nemesis-storm Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 Fire in the Hole - Blazing Fury. That ride always seems to elicit a WTF :shock: from riders. I've heard of this coaster, but what does it actually do RCDB does not give very much away. Some of the other coasters been mentioned here are high on the WTF ?factor, there mainly 'production' models. Dragon Flyer is unique Yes I think the wood laid along the track is how the coaster is powered , via a wheel within the dragon Cobra at Admiral Vrungel looks cool, How does it launch?
coaster1 Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Blazing Fury and Fire In The Hole are the same. Imagine a powered scenic railway enclosed with 3 drops. The final drop is pretty long and theres a splashdown that gets your a bit wet. The Cobra I think, if I recall is pulled up the spike by a winch (similar to Vekoma's GIB's) and then released.
Pure Randomness Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Cobra does look kinda cool...better then Bubbles...best...name...ever
socalMAN123 Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 All I could say when I saw this coaster...WTF? http://rcdb.com/ig972.htm?picture=1
maliboomer Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Robb and Elissa went on that creation I believe during ECO...
Shadowforce Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Is that ride super slow or what? And socalMAN123, what are you on about, Euro Mir is very unique, and even more so cool! We here in Europe like our coasters weird, which X:/ No way out is the proof of.
nemesis-storm Posted March 4, 2005 Author Posted March 4, 2005 Euro Mir is a cool coaster. It's the not best coaster in the park by a long way but still is fun. I liked Euro Sat more than Euro Mir tho. X:/ No Way Out is just rubbish Oh no ! some has mentioned the snails at Joyland in Great Yarmouth. I know there is this never ending debate on what is & what not a coaster. But counting the snails has a credit is going too far. You then might as well count any Haunted House ride etc I like to point that I have not been on the snails ride, but have been on the Tyrolean Tubs http://rcdb.com/ig884.htm and do count that has a coaster
Angry_Gumball Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 So that's what those Virginia Reel coasters were from RCT! I've always wondered if those even existed.
What Now Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 How far is Joyland from that other park in Great Yartmouth?
Dr Freeze Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 Bo-Bo looks intense! My vote for silliest coaster: Mummy! igsmile:
nemesis-storm Posted March 5, 2005 Author Posted March 5, 2005 So that's what those Virginia Reel coasters were from RCT! I've always wondered if those even existed. The 'Tubs' at Joyland is powered in places. True Virginia Wheels, like the ones in RCT are gravity powered. An example here http://naid.sppsr.ucla.edu/venice/mapsdocs/kp-map7.htm The two parks in Great Yarmouth, are walking distances from each other, I'd say about 15 mins
socalMAN123 Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 I didn't say it looked like a bad coaster, I said it looked cool but weird. Wouldn't even you guys say that? And, even though I've never been there, X:/ NO Way Out looks AWESOME!
harsaphes Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 This one looks very weird : http://www.rcdb.com/id2493.htm A people powered coaster ....
ScottBrown Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 I think the Grizzly at PGA wins this award it has no thrill no speed well really no redeming features at all (except the end) really no purpose for even being there
