Thank you all for watching! The last 10 years have been incredible and I had so much fun with this collaboration. Make sure you check out all of the channels who were a part of it (links in the description)!
Great video. Congrats on 10k! I have a few crazy ones. Back in 2001/2002 me and my friends were at Cedar Point. We got on Gemini and were ready to go. (No racing) As we crest the lift hill and started going down, my lap bar actually popped up on me.(still had a seat belt.) This scared the crap out of me and it was difficult to push the lap bar back down until we hit the bottom of the hill. I did get some crazy airtime though. Another one was when I went to Islands of Adventure in Nov of 2002. We rode Hulk and were walking around the park. Crowds started gathering around a shop. Like hundreds of people surrounded this one shop. Turns out Michael Jackson was there that day and in the Shop with his kid. The people I was with were like “should we try to see Michael?” But then I was like “or we could utilize the empty lines and ride Hulk, Dueling Dragons and the such.” Which is what we did. Tbh sitting on Windseeker 200’ in the air sounds awful.
What a beautiful video concept! I’m sure we all have stories crazy or not, and it means something that everyone that collabed in this video did so, thank you theme park avenue, I love that you enabled these stories to be shared through a celebration that most youtubers really only celebrate on their own, but you used it to make something beautiful! You’re awesome!
@@ThemeParkAvenueOf course, thank you for the video once again! I will probably watch it again with my girlfriend to laugh and relate to the stories! 🥰🙏
Awesome video, great to see so many channels doing a collab. My craziest experience is probably being in line for Volcano when a raccoon got hit by the train and shut the ride down.
Only thing that would compare would be a very early morning at a ski resort. I was there at probably 7.30 or 8 in the morning, with most of the lifts starting to open at 8.30. The sign at the base said this one T-bar lift was open already. I skated over there, no one was at the loading area. Still, I scanned my lift pass (no problem) and boarded the lift myself (usually you needed an operator to help you but I had recently learnt this skill). Just after I made it to the first tower, the lift stoped. The operator told me that the lift was actually closed and that you are not allowed to self load. So, I had to skate back over to the base, having just gotten the experience of loading onto a closed lift.
Congratulations on the 10,000!! So glad to be one of them. My story isn't so much crazy, as it is just a funny coincidence. My kids and I have season passes to Dorney and last year, I FINALLY got my 16 year old son to ride Steel Force. I'd had an issue our first season pass year with my lap bar flying open not long after the first drop and the seatbelt saved my life (ok, that's probably one of my craziest theme park moments, to be fair) and it made him scared to go on it. Finally he agreed to do it IF we get a picture at the end, so we go for it. Back row is myself and my oldest son, in front of us is 16 year old son and his best friend, and random guys in the front of the car. We all drew mustaches on our fingers and held them up so it looked like we had curly mustaches. The guys in front of us had no clue we did this. Cut to grabbing our picture, we found out the guys in front of us pretended to punch each other, so our entire picture of us on Steel Force is insanity front to back.
Great job, Eric! Thank you for asking me to be part of this. I do have some of my moment I mentioned on video on my channel in footage from that 2005 trip. I forgot to send that link to you. Lol. However, I hadn't seen those POVs of the coasters at Sendai Highland before so that was a nice surprise. Again, congrats on 10,000 subs!
I guess my craziest theme park experience I've had is kings Island going from my 5th favorite cedar fair park to my favorite park in the world in the span of 1 year
Congrats on 10k. I remember a fight between parents in line for Race For Your Life Charlie Brown log flume at Kings Island. It wasn't a big fight but still shocked me to see.
Congrats on 10k! thats insane! this video reminded me of this one time i was on thunder dolphin in tokyo and the guy behind me made vomit sounds for the entire ride. He was literally on the verge of throwing up the whole time and i was terrified. he didnt luckily. (Also i had no idea CZs world was a coaster enthusiast)
Congrats on 10k! I would be lucky to even get 1k man. Also, I think I went on the same day as Coaster College's story! I went on August 25th this year to CP and the park was visibly recovering from a flood. You can see from my front row POV but Steel Vengeance's infield was entirely flooded and the crews tried all day to get Raptor up and running. I really appreciated their determination as the ride opened for the last hour or so of the day.
Great video! I really enjoyed watching this! Congrats on 10,000 subs and 10 years making videos. It was great to see Theme Park Crazy and all these other great youtubers on here!
I think the Sean Flaharty story was my favorite but the Canobie Coaster one with the skunk was funny to me 😅 Lots of good ones though. The Coaster Josh one at the end was quite good as well.
I got 2 stories First was at great adventure, me and my friends had just ridden Congo river rapids and were soaked, especially my pants. We then went over to nitro and rode that. When we got back to the station and exited the vehicle the whole seat was wet and be being an idiot said oh my god that was so scary I peed myself. I said it loud enough for the people next to board to hear it and there faces were priceless. It was a mix of pure horror and disgust it was really funny. Second was on comet at Hershey park. Me and my sister were the second group ready to board the trains with what I guess was a couple around 40 in front of us. So I was telling my sister loud enough for the people in front to hear that we wanted to ride the front row. The gates opened and they let us through and the woman said in the most Karen way “we’re actually getting the front” or something along those lines. This pissed me off not because of the fact she took the front, but the way she talked to us. I was extremely pissed so I tried to think of a way to get back at her. So me and my sister sit in the second row behind them and I screamed as loud as a could on every drop to piss them off for the whole ride. I know it worked because on the break run she looked back at me with a face of pure annoyance and honestly I don’t regret doing it at all.
Sean Flaherty’s story honesty is shocking. Just a heart warming display of humility from the park. I’ve always heard of the park, as I’ve grown up in Sendai Japan, but never got to go as it was defunct by the time I was into roller coasters, and I’ve even been to the defunct sight. God I wish I could’ve gone there. (Congrats on 10K btw, been watching sense you had 200 and i couldn’t be happier for you)
I have also made content for 10 years this year, just not all of it theme park and I made this account in 2021. Of that, the oldest videos are from summer 2016 because they are that bad and not related to the channel's direction. One I moved over and was a "round table" news video from May 2016 that was filmed at Great Adventure (with one segment being dropped in the reupload). The following one for July (since I was on tour with American Music Abroad when the June Round Table would normally be posted) apparently has film reviews from the flights to and from JFK-Zurrich. I think that's when I watched Zootopia (or Zoomania as its called in German-speaking countries) lol. I do have some videos from 2017 (2 Baltimore Vlogs I reuploaded here and a lot of content on my other channel surrounding Power Rangers/Super Sentai relevant to that time. I also made a few of my film major projects public over there as well: Hidden Hobbies (I was "on set" that day, but technically not crew), Hungry Hoops (silent/black & white film, this is my edit for the class), and then released my Magnum Opus (at least at the time) G-Force: A #MeToo Story on the formation of G-Force for my last production class (Intro to New Media) in December 2020. I've watched it back and I don't really have gripes about the actual product, but there is evidence to things just not working.
I would say some top moments of mine are: hitchhiking from Walibi Rhone-Alps, stumbling upon a fair in Nancy France-where I was going to spend the night between Europa Park and Lyon to go to Walibi Rhone-Alps, Employee ride night at TTD, working (as a sweep) in Dragstar's area the day of the accident (I have a weird relationship with that top hat), Every time I can confirm I've been to a park on National Roller Coaster Day (2016 and 2021, both Cedar Point. First was like 2-3hr rain delay for Maverick, latter was just the Arrow gauntlet I did in the vlog), and getting Evaced off Blazing Fury because a lighbulb exploded on a kid on the previous train-but the dad was in our train IDKW. I guess performing in Candlelight Processional at EPCOT in 2014, is also worth a mention
