Canobie Fan Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I was looking around RCDB and found a park with 2 very odd looking coasters..... One is like a bootleg STE and one is like a sit down Volare.... Volare-Ish http://rcdb.com/ig2961.htm STE-Ish http://rcdb.com/ig3436.htm
Scaparri Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Wow, what a find. It's really crazy what kind of strange rides there are that we really have little knowledge about. I'm really curious as to how big the shuttle is. Is it just me or does it look to be like 200ft tall? That launch seems fairly short for such a height as well.
AznShortBoi8021 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 The lifthill on the first coaster shouldn't be much of a surprise because its made by the same company that made Volare. The 2nd coaster is probably made by Meisho or another east Asian company. I would assume it is powered by some sort of magnetic propulsion thingy.
BiCoastal Kid Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 http://rcdb.com/ig3436.htm?picture=5 Is that station roof made of fiber board??? Also, you can see the magnet thinging in that picture too.
CoasterCrazy88 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Awesome find! I love the mini S:TE! Antonio"Funny Land?!"G.
Carnage Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I liked the sign in the Volarish rides station. http://rcdb.com/ig2961.htm?picture=4 "Not allowed for the heart attack,hyper tension, and children under 130 c.m."
ParkTrips Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 This just confirms that Lisa has too much time on her hands...
robbalvey Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Too bad that shuttle thingy seems to be closed down.
jmicha Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Is it me, or does that shuttle look like it was designed using the air launched coaster in RCT? If it comes close to the top of the tower, it looks like it could pull some serious g's (possibly the reason it is closed).
Guest Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 If i go to thailand during summer, I may try to go to this park
WillMontu Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Slalom looks like it was designed in RCT as well.
TheStig Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Wow those things are messed up! I think that mini STE's tower is leaning to the right more than it should (not like it SHOULD lean in any direction). It also looks like the car's on both trains are pretty close to the same (except for the wheel assemblies). But yeah I would ABSOLUTLEY ride that mini STE, though I might crap my pants because of the lack of everything on the train! Colin C
niiicolaaah Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Pataya Park Funny Land!! that is the best name EVER! :shock:
aslinterpreter Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 We were just there!!!!! But nothing was running when we went! My wife and I travel a lot for our jobs and spent awhile in Thailand recently. Even if they were running, i am not sure we would of ridden them, some of the Thai laws are not exactly up to US standards. We will be going back soon and will check it out and see if its running this time, if it is, we will take some pics! Here is a pic of an Elissa friendly place in Bangkok.

Angry_Gumball Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 That mini S:TE reminds me of this: [/url]
viking86 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Those seats looks really comfortable... with the exception of the one with the ripped headrest http://rcdb.com/ig2961.htm?picture=2
waterviper Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Wow I went to the Pattaya Park Funny Land site and check out these other rides that they have! :shock: http://www.pattayapark.com Speed Shuttle!! Tower Jump!! Yikes!!! :O
SharkTums Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Dude, that looks awesome! I want to do the Sky Jump!
Guest Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I had a chance to do the sky jump. MAN it looks realy tall. I wasnt sure if it is safe or not
aslinterpreter Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 To trcg721: Sawadee Krup! Maybe I will see you in Thailand next time!
slick Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Whoa, I don't know, that thing's either messed up or just frieking weird. I think it'd be very safe to say that it looks to be a custom job or better yet made from a not very well known manufacturer. There are some key things to point out to tell that it's not an Intamin or S&S made ride: -The track beams are of a different guage. -Wheel assembly is different, as is the train. -Braking system is different (be a big f*cking jolt on your neck) -Seems to be pneumatically or hydraulicly launched, how this is a mystery. -Seems to be braked by a now common electro magnet type braking system. But that's really all I could pick up. Anyone else with some photos or useful information? This sort of stuff is really interesting!
socalMAN123 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 That shuttle thingie is probably better than S:TE! Anyways, great find. ---Brent 8)
