A selection of videos from my travels around the world visiting theme parks and riding roller coasters. These videos feature some of the craziest, most extreme rides you'll ever encounter.
Thank you for recording this process, truly incredible to see. This is my 11th year doing Carpentry, Journeyed out through local 322, and I’ve helped build all kinds of cool things from pole barns to high rises, houses, commercial buildings, grocery stores, even an airplane hanger once. Currently I work as a full time Carpenter on the maintenance side of an amusement park and the first thing we do every morning (On operating days the coasters are ran) is walk and inspect our two wooden coasters. I’ve always had a fascination with architecture and since working here I’ve become so intrigued by the design of wooden coasters and often find myself wondering how the heck they build these things. This video was actually super informative for me despite it being more of a montage. Definitely answered more than a few questions I had about the process of how they are built. I have been thinking about trying to make a replica of one of the wooden coasters we have here, scaled down of course, but scaled down from real measurements I pull from the coaster. I think it would be a fun little project, and would probably help me at work too having an even better understanding of the coaster as a whole. Thank you again for sharing this, I liked and subbed and plan on checking out more of your channel. I also second the other comment about a longer version of this video. Would love to see what you got in that 6 hours of footage 😁 Keep up the good work and have an awesome day!
I’ve been to many fairs in America, have filmed with a number of American showmen, have filmed a number of rides belonging to American showmen whilst under construction at factories in Europe. Out of interest, which of your fairs are a charter fair? Charter fairs are ones that date back hundreds of years and are protected in law having been granted by the monarchy. Several countries have charter fairs, but wasn’t aware you had them in America. It’s charter fairs that are specifically referenced in the opening sequence. There’s no mention of America not having any fairs.
Aside from the Octonauts rollercoaster, this was my first rollercoaster ride. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM STILL PETRIFIED TO THIS DAY! 10/10 Don’t let the video fool you, it is MUCH faster than it looks, HELL! Watching other people on the ride in real life gives the illusion that it’s the same speed as/slightly faster than runaway mine train…NOPE! It is MUCH faster!
we moved to Longleat in 1977 and lived there until 1981. wonderful times. my mother was the manager of the restaurant, my step father looked after the tigers and lions. i remember that slide.
We did not 'work' the fairgrounds. We WERE the fairground. We the Roma and us the Roma Children the Chavvies we were the tarpaulin, the sparks of the dodgems, the candy floss. SHOW-PEOPLE ARE THE EVENT... A FAIRGROUND IS A GRAVEYARD WITHOUT US We created a world within a world for the Gorgio
