Orphan Rocker Roller Coaster - Australia 

And little did he know. He was one of the only people to ever ride this ride.

Wow! This is an amazing find! Thank you so much for sharing it! You are amazing! This is truly the Holy Grail of the Coaster Community.

Those transitions make Arrow transitions look genius

Well.. this video puts the theory to rest that the train never made a complete circuit.

This looked like an intense AF coaster. Sucks it never opened to the public

I've seen this on tv once ages ago and wondered what happened to this coaster. Now I finally know it never opened the public. This footage still amazes me.

2:07 "At least 6 months away from being open to the public...." I mean...technically wasn't wrong...

Looks like an RTgame coaster

I made a few films about scenic world and it’s orphan rocker rollercoaster. Scenic world lawyered up and demanded through there lawyers that I take 2 of my films down, so I agreed for now. I’m glad this original footage has come out publicly because until now there isn’t any actual footage of it running, myself and others were trying to find this video but never could 👏🏻

In all seriousness... this thing looks like a weird mashup of an Arrow and an Intamin. Intamin track design, with Intamin style of banking, with Arrow transitions.

Awesome! Been looking for footage of this thing for god knows how many hours. What a legend.

Theme park crazy gang lol

Australian Jay Leno lol

I remember seeing this on TV as a kid and couldn't wait for it to open...still waiting. 🇦🇺

How did you even find this clip. He’s the luckiest man alive

I clearly remember visiting Scenic World with my family as a 10 year old in the mid 80s. My younger brother and I were practically salivating over the mysterious tracks which were literally the first thing you'd see as you arrived by car. Access to the site took you directly beneath what's probably it's least twisted stretch of track. We spent the entirety of our time there running from place to place trying to catch glimpses of the rest of the track wishing as hard as we could wish that a sign would pop up directing us to the place where an imaginary operator would welcome us and pass on the obligatory rules for riders shortly before thumping his fist down on a big red button launching our vessel into thrill and spill territory. We barely noticed the scenery and we left the venue sans any explanation whatsoever. It wasn't until I stumbled upon this upload just now that I learned any further details. Thanks for the share.

This thing must’ve pulled some crazy gs on the turns

The constant pacing, although not a high top speed, clearly had two spots of ejector airtime on top of the rocking. This would have been a lot of fun, especially due to the setting. When I was last there 23 years ago, it was still in good condition with hopes of opening. I had no idea when my ex took me to the park that a coaster existed and I got so excited when I saw it, only to find out it was SBNO lol.

I hate tv presenters usually but this guy has earned my respect. He has displayed vast testicular fortitude AND a power mullet

I don’t think I’d ever describe anyone as the “most bravest person I’ve ever met.”

Next level backyard rollercoaster

Wow! Can’t believe there’s footage!

I’ve wanted to see this footage again for so long, have been searching for years! Saw it on tv as a kid

This looks out of control haha, somebody probably would have gotten thrown down the cliff eventually.

That looked ROUGH

Great find! I had no idea any footage of this existed, let alone a POV. Thanks for sharing!

Nice and I'm diggin their fashion and hair. he looks like Bruce Campbell and Jay Leno lol

This is gold!! Thanks so much I've been looking for this for ages. I watched it live back in the day and have always wanted to see it again

Oh gee.. the old Corkscrew at Seaworld and the Thunderbolt at Dreamworld in the intro, that brings back memories, never even heard of this one

"Nothing to fear but fear itself" yeah, that and unqualified Coaster development companies. -not to do with this Coaster in particular, but uh, we know who the true unqualified arr

It was one of the blue marble's 'bumpiest' yet 'greatest' coasters! We need to say thank you (so much) for offering us the passenger's view! Meaning I've just got to like this video!!! :*))

Good to see this clip again after all those years.

Man those transitions look nuts.

2020 and it’s still not “fixed”!!😂😂 All fun and games in the video but WOW I didn’t know anyone actually rode this thing ever. He was inadvertently braver than he might realize! I heard a report, not certain if true, that when ride dummys (or might have been some type of test sand bags) were used to test it, one of the dummys the sandbag was missing when the train arrived back to the station. I find that very easy to believe actually! The coaster was never opened to the public due to safety issues is what I heard. Regardless of rumor or story, for CERTAIN the “transitions” etc on the ride are rough and very poorly designed to say the least!! Most coaster enthusiasts can tell by just looking that the design is extremely poor, it was designed in house not by a coaster company. Props though to a very creative effort. If designed correctly it would have been fantastic. What a location!!

We were told by a staff member at Scenic World, where this is, that they tested it with mannequins, but they all came back with no heads, so it wasn't deemed safe to open to the public!

@3:39 This how I felt after watching this video LOL But I've gotta say what a fantastic Rollercoaster and an amazing find 👍

Would totally ride this if it ever opened (and I could visit Australia). Might break necks but it looked crazy. Either way, the concept is awesome, like a more intense, traditional version of the alpine coasters we see nowadays. Sad that the family never got to see it open.

The scream in the tunnel☠😂🤣😂

Holy shit that looks insane.

This looks like something from Roller Coaster Tycoon

S&S might fix this and add their Axis trains. That would be amazingly crazy

Man, _80’s Alex Crump_ is so badass... *I LOVE IT*

Does anyone have the uncropped 4:3 broadcast of this?

Man this looks nuts

The top speed looks a lot faster than the 28mph that RCDB states! I know some of the clips were sped up, but still!

Togo transitions are somehow better, never thought I’d see it

These are some nice golden horse transitions

Love it!!!👍

It always felt like all they had to do was modify the trains and restraints and it would have been safe enough but maybe not

Just imagining the spiders that would make home in that tunnel… the orb weavers alone 🤯🤯🤯 fuck going through that ever…

The balls on this man…

Shit looks like it pulled at least 3 lateral gs lmao and another -2gs on that little bunny hop

I've been to the Blue Mountains, but I never saw this 😅

The last sentence is not correct! It didn't go ahead because it did not meet the safety requirement inspection. The wheel bearings kept overheating/loosening which caused the cars to keep speeding up. I was one of the passengers on the day of testing.

That's actually pretty fast

epic

How on earth did you find this?

I have a feeling Rick Hofman emigrated to Australia from the Netherlands

WOW I THINK A SIX FLAGS PARK SHOULD GET THAT RIDE

Have gazed in wonder at this rusting relic over the years. Never commissioned for people to ride. The rumour goes that tests with sandbags resulted in them being ejected into the Jamison Valley 300 metres below.....

Jay Leno’s Australian cousin!

RCT3 was the inspiration l see.

Looks like it would have been fucking crazy. What TV show is this from?

I dont know anyone who rocks an orphan like that but they should be jailed

Dat Mickey Mouse jacket tho... ...EFFIN' AWESOME! He must be off to Disneyland next. lol.

No one: A noobs first roller coaster in tpt2:

This guy is a weird mix of Jay Leno & Harry Enfield

Good grief. How the hell did he stay in there??? No wonder it never happened. Looks hideous. But, what’s worse, is that the track still exists there. Tear the bloody thing down, it’s an eyesore!

Negative heartline.

He looks like the weirdo from wolf creek 30 years younger 😂😃😄😅

Seriously? Fiberglass?

This footage just seems terribly fake to me. Sped up and carefully edited to give the impression of a 'finished' ride. I doubt track layout on this coaster was ever completed

The shaping looks awful hahaha

and hes not haveing kids any time soon

That coaster looks so sketch.

Reddit gang rise up

nothin special then
