It's a pipeline coaster this ride is surprisingly good coming from a manufacturer that doesn't make smooth rides in fact the opposite like shockwave at king dominion
This is the sort of ride I'd always build on Roller Coaster Tycoon but I didn't actually assume existed, but of course it did! I want to go on one of these!
@@JacobDTulio IDK looks way more fun the very crappy stats RTC gives it. The chain lift part actully looks more fun then chain lift of more traditional coasters.
I love when even people who like coasters get a little nervous. I guess it reminds me that there are parts of coasters that make everyone nervous, not just me
William Shipman Pretty much all obscure coasters in the Roller Coaster Tycoon series have some backing in reality, even if they're fairly rare or completely unique, failed prototypes or just very old.
Fun fact about this roller coaster, it actually came straight out of Houston Texas. The Ultra Twisters original home used to be Sixflags Astro World in Houston. It was there for many years. I remember riding it when I was 9. It was later sold to this park when Astro World was shut down. It used to be blue and white.
I don't like having no way out. I panic when they lock the harness when I'm on a roller coaster. And when it starts moving. Same way on a water slide I know once I push off its no way out.
+xygomorphic44 If you first try to build one and never have seen this type of coaster before, where are the fucking curves? How am i supposed to build this?
Great camera angles! I really like the uniqueness of this coaster. It has some great elements but because of the two tracks running paralegal to each other, it takes up very little space. Nice!
it is pretty much an exact copy of the ultra twister that was at 6flags in Houston Texas before they closed it down. it's an ok ride but nothing crazy.
THIS IS THE EXACT SAME COASTER THAT WAS AT SIX FLAGS ASTROWORLD BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN!!! I KNOW....I RODE IT!! SCARIEST RIDE I'VE EVER BEEN ON, EXCEPT FOR "DUNGEON DROP"! Glad to see it's still in use!
I think the one in Japan has always been there. I remember hearing on one of these videos that there were two made: One for Japan and one for Six Flags. The one for Six Flags went into storage after Astroworld closed, then (I'm guessing) it was scrapped in 2010 (venture to say Six Flags might have lost some parts to the Ultra Twister when they were moving it from Astroworld, as I heard that was the case for a few rides).
When I went to Adventure Dome a couple years ago, my friends and I went on the ride called El Loco (3 times), and there's no shoulder restraints like the one's here, just the lap thing like the on on Thunder Mountain at Disneyland. El Loco has loops exactly like this, but our ride broken down in the middle of one of those things (I think there were three of them) and because of that, I was hanging halfway out of the ride, and I almost plummeted 20 feet to my serious injury or death. =)
Thats scary i just moved to PA, so i hope i dont have to go on any rides like that, also please subscribe to my channel, its called utopia malfunctions. Btw im 8
I rode the one that was at Astroworld when I was a kid. It was kinda okay, but the restraints were horribly uncomfortable and the noise was worse than any coaster I've been on. It's just a poorly designed coaster overall.
akaTheWilyFox There were other problems too. I remember the cars often got stuck at the top of the lift hill, and the track switch mechanism took way too long for a car that only held 4 people, meaning it was really inefficient at keeping the line moving. At Astroworld, you pretty much had to queue for this coaster first, or you weren't going to ride.
@@Cutesylittlecupcake and then it was moved to Astroworld where it operated all the way until the park closed and the coaster was scrapped i really hope another one gets built here
This was exact ride that was originally at Six Flags in NJ (aka Great Adventure) in the 70's. As far as I know the ride is still in storage at one of the Six Flags. I remember waiting on long long lines and watching people leave the line as they chickened out at the last minute. The Japanese have nothing on us.
Rollercoasters are the best thing, I am a roller coaster junkie so I really want to go on this! 6 flags Great America was really fun, I went on the 4th of July and went on a roller coaster for the first time. Now I am hooked and I am watching all of these to get my hopes up for going soon 😂
I love the energy in this video😂 I hate when people are silent on roller-coaster povs it's just not the same and it's not as exciting Also like what are you a robot 💀
How high was the drop? I have been on a roller coaster with a 180ft drop at 90 degrees. And the speed was 85 I believe. I just thought it was interesting to know.
What makes me chuckle is that the names of some Japanese theme parks sound like beauty salons! When I see the word "spaland" I wonder, is that a theme park? LOL.
There was a white and blue version of this ride in Astroworld in Houston when I was in high school. Different lift hill though. The drop was a strait vertical drop b4 you leveled out and the rest of that was the exact same as this.
I saw the thumbnail, with the tracks on either side of the heartline, and thought "how on Earth do they load the trains?" Ingenious design, once I saw the video. :-)
