This was actually the ride that got me not to be scared of going upside down on a ride. It has a special place in my heart. Edit: If you wanna know what fair it was, I think it was in 2017 and it was the bravos valley fair and rodeo
I rode Kamikaze at a fair as a kid, and I have never felt less secure on a ride. The over the shoulder "restraints" didn't even touch my body and I spent the whole ride painfully knocking around in that death trap. At least it's pretty to look at lol
The one I rode had this pad in front of your head and my head banged on it so hard and so much there was a huge black mark on my forehead afterwards. It was so painful I will never ride it again 😂
Had to hold myself down with those metal bars they put under ur feet and my skin is completely rubbed off because I'm 4'11 and they probably should have warned me I was going to have a loose guard keeping me from plummeting 35 feet down!
In Italy this ride is usually called "Ranger"! I live in Sicily and there is a particular version of Kamikaze II, it's called "Star Trek" and it is perhaps the most beautiful version :D
A visually stunning ride. Arms swinging from opposing sides "still" give cHiLLs! As them pass each other. Theming possibilities are endless! Old seems to always be "new" Great video fellows!
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is my home park, I love Typhoon so much however, it does every now and then shake a bit (probably an anti-get-stuck-upside-down mechanism) that always freaks my brother out. Maybe not the best feeling to feel when upside down but still, fantastic ride and I’m glad you covered it in this video!
Fun Fact, Being from Santa Cruz myself, the old version was an old Fabbri Kamikaze, and the new Typhoon we got as part of the main Entrance Facelift, is the modern A.R.M Kamikaze model. The new Typhoon get's going a lot quicker turning you upside down vs the old one. Never rode the old one because it looked like a total 🤮 fest, but the new one definitely a quicker ride time, like what the Hammerhead Shark was at Discovery Kingdom, until its fairly recent removal. I believe The Santa Cruz County Fair still runs an older model Fabbri model called The Ranger. I still have yet to get on the newer Typhoon. The HammerHead Shark was a Zamperla Hawk 48 model.
I’ve been on the first version of Kamikaze a hand full of times. Never found it to be enjoyably experience. All you hear is loose dirt and pebbles clattering around the when it starts to reach apex height… then excessive g forces that you can feel distorting your face. Then a full vertical stall for far too long. They were definitely pushing these machines harder back in the late 80’s/early 90’s
Having lived here Japan half my life the name kamikaze was always off putting to me but growing up in the Bay Area, I loved me some typhoon! Cheers boys! Good right up! Love from Osaka!
It’s funny how It never even dawned on me that the loop o planes were the predecessors to the bigger kamikazes.I’m so appreciative for this series I’m definitely enjoying the knowledge being spilled in all these vids, keep it up👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
P.S. you definitely need to get on one of these especially at the fair probably the most terrifying ride there, especially when they stop at the top and hold you in midair it’s insane!!!
I always think of the Kamikaze as a Loop-O-Plane "on steroids." Many years ago at the NC State Fair (Strates was the midway provider), I saw (or thought I saw) a Rollo-O-Plane themed as a Skymaster, similarly, as it were, "on steroids"--as it was as huge as the Kamikaze. Just like the regular Rollo-O-Plane, the cages spun so that the riders at each end were never suspended upside-down. Ever since seeing (or thinking I saw) this, I have always regretted not asking two questions: What company made it and how many trailers are required to transport it? (I have never seen this ride listed on Strates's rides list and I got in touch with Strates concerning it, but to no avail)? Can anyone reading this help me?
I've only been able to get on the kamikaze once, I'd really love it if they started placing them in amusement parks all over USA. That is one my most favorite rides I've ever been on. Bring the kamikaze back.
These were very common at traveling carnivals in Western New York when I was a kid in the 90s. I vividly remember the whir sound these made! I always referred to them as The Patriot, because a local amusement park, Martins Fantasy Island, had a permanent one and called it that. Please do a video about Paratrooper rides, I was transfixed by those as a kid!
Yes those are awesome. They have in my state of Pennsylvania at Knoebals. It’s one of my most favorite rides and they also have a first version Kamikaze.
I’ve ridden the Banzai at the Meadowlands Fair, Meteor at Dorney Park, The one at Fun Plex in Myrtle Beach, The one in North Myrtle Beach, and the one at Kennywood
Does anyone else remember this being called The Hammerhead? There were two versions: 1) where the capsule just went upside down, and 2) where the capsule could twist and you would be upside and spinning .
The Kamikaze ride is a nostalgic part of my early childhood, even if I never went on one until I was an adult. My county fair had one that was the center piece of the ride area. It was this big, looming ride that I loved to watch.
Loved the pic of the Screamin' Eagle (1-armed Zamperla Hawk) in my hometown park of Seabreeze in Rochester, NY! I've never ridden it (not too big a fan of upside down rides) but it's always been a big hit at the park ever since it was introduced in the 90's.
I remember seeing this for years at my local yearly fairgrounds in Manitoba, except it was called Skymaster. One year, in my teens, I finally worked up the courage to go on it and it was amazing. There's nothing like hanging upside down with only the restraint holding you up. It's been around for at least 15 years now, and I ride it every year that I can.
First time I ever seen a Kamikaze was at the 1990 FL State Fair. I think it was Farrow or Pugh’s. The first time I rode one was in 1995/1996 at the Charlotte County Fair in Port Charlotte, FL. I believe it was Crown Amusements.
First one of these that I can recollect was "Skyflier" at Casino Pier (Seaside Heights, NJ) ... but I was so young that I was too scared to ride it; by the time I conquered my fear of upside-down rides, that ride was gone. However, I've seen many "Kamikaze", "Tomahawk", and "Bonsai" rides at carnivals over the years, and have ridden my share (though not recently). I'm curious as to why there are so many names for the same ride. AFAIK, they're all the same ride; I feel like they're even the same manufacturer. Maybe I'm wrong; I dunno. I've done the Loop-O-Plane at a small carnival that no longer comes. It was OK, but I greatly prefer the "Satellite" at Knoebels.
been on the kamikaze that runs/ran at the north idaho state fair years ago - road it so many times my poor shoulders had bruises from the restrains, lmao. my arthritis hated it, but i was desperate to find something to replace the hi-roller i frequented at east coast carnivals when i was out west. the ride operator gave us some great hangtime after the fourth or fifth board
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been on this one, it came to the Cali Mid State Fair every summer when I was growing up. My fave was always Gravitron though! Took me a while to finally brave the Kamakazi and when I did I was so proud of myself haha
One time we were teasing the ride operator while on the ride (I’m surprised he could us) and so he decided to balance us upside for like 2 minutes and it was intense because we kept swaying back and forth until we eventually did our cycle. It definitely was the most fun I’ve ever had on this ride. Wish some other operator would do it again 🥴
Ridden a good share of these at travelling shows, or at the very least a solid handful ridden many times over the years since a lot of times the same company would come to town, fun ride, I enjoy these more than a Superloop (Either restraint version) personally, I don't know if it's the smoother experience or the variations in ride cycle the operators can do but there's just something about these that feels more enjoyable to me
Here's my current wishlist for future FROTW videos (unchanged from last episode): Matterhorn / Flying Bobs & Trabant / Hully Gully - these were mentioned in a previous video, and I look forward to seeing them. . Round Up Rainbow / 1001 Nacht Paratrooper Orbiter Miami 'Cuddle-Up' (basically an 'n'th-degree teacup ride) ... I'll never forget the in-the-dark "Iceberg" at Dorney Park
I may be wrong, but I think there’s way more ARM skymasters out there. An example I believe to be ARM is top gun, owned by fiesta shows. Either way, I really enjoy watching and riding these. The unique hangtime is a ton of fun with good positives in the valley as well. I hope I can come across a loop o plane at some point
What about Fabbri’s ‘booster ranger’ ride which 2 of were produced in the 1990’s, it’s basically a kamikaze except instead of the normal cage it had booster seats on the end of the arm which enables to do tons of flips and create a very intense ride cycle. It kind of reminds me of a mini Mondial capriolo with the way it moves.
I remember going on what I think is an original Fabbri Group Kamikaze (I think this because of the light locations and janky ass restraints) and it was not that bad, although the restraints dug in to my shoulders when inverted.
There was a lapbar Kamikaze at Drayton Manor way back and on a scout trip me and a friend went on it 13 times in a row due to the lack of queue. It was quite painful but also hilarious because my friend clearly hated it and yet kept agreeing to go back on.
There used to be one at 'Attactiepark & Vakantiepark Slagharen' when i was a child. Back then i was too scared to ride. Sad thing is, when i overcame my fear of it, it was removed from the park. I haven't been able to ride one of my life now.
We had a floorless one in Australia called the hangover, but somebody had fallen out at the highest point of the ride and I think it’s no longer in operation
We here in Oregon and Washington state local shows have the Kamikaze and are very popular. Also in California some shows have Kamikaze and the floorless type ride, and all that are mentioned are on traveling shows.
I remember when I was a kid I went on a kamikaze at a fair, the operator will do a controlled stop while the gondolas were inverted. It would scare the hell outta me because I thought the ride broke down.
The last kamikaze in the UK I saw was the one called barracuda in 2013 at an air show in masnton same as perrin mathews kmg tango ride wich was there both last time in the UK before getting sold in 2014
When I was younger Riverside park in Agawam Massachusetts( now six flags new england) had one of the rides called the time warp, it was yellow with black stripes, and had seats on both arms that two ppl could sit side by side and dangled their feet
@@CoasterCollege Do the rotating cage versions of the original (only 8 riders) fall under “ranger”? Because I’m really curious about the version seen at Knoebels in PA called the Salt and Pepper!
My local show has a kamikaze 1 that i have yet to ride. There was an accident on I think a Kamikaze 2 here in Australia in late 2020. Judging by images of the ride it didn't appear to have a redundant seat belt, only ots restraints.

I use to ride the sky master as a kid 😏good times. I remember Time Warp, a air jumper which was a vekoma version too at six flags new England (which is defunct now)
AFAIK, Fabbri built more than 380 KamiKaze rides.. believe me, I know this from a very reliable source. ;) Also, we had one SBF floorless Space Gun ride in Six Flags Mexico, that operated under the name El Curandero, until it was removed a few years ago.. it was awesome!
Fabric Cataclysm is my favorite version. I saw a one armed version of this at my local fair this past year. It looked to be from the 70s. I can't remember the name or manufacturer though
I remember my first ride on a kamakazie. Freshman highschool I was deathly afraid until a cute girl grabed me and said we’re going on this well can’t say no after that. When we got to the top and they stop this for a second a couple coins fell out of peoples pockets and out loud I said those bolts didn’t look important causing half the ride to laugh and one woman behind me to have a panic attack
are we sure there’s only one ARM skymaster? i just found a video that’s only 11 months old of one called Top Gun which is owned by fiesta shows of new england
hope you can read this it's a personal experience from one of these rides, on a travelling fair near my house they have one of these, I could tell the maintance for it was bad, the hydraulic system for the front restraint was literally broken, deattached from the seat. A few days go by and from my house I see the ride staying upside down unusually lonfer than it should, I counted the time and it was A FULL MINUTE, I was shocked as I had never seen one of these stay upside down dor that long, idk if it was manual but damn, talk about hangtime
There's something just so... *satisfying* about watching these double-armed inverting swings in action, even the little ones😄
So, so true
This was actually the ride that got me not to be scared of going upside down on a ride. It has a special place in my heart.

same almost everyone in the ride had to hold themselves down on the ride when it went upside down

There are also a kamikaze where we are sitting in front of people and its currently in reunion island under the name of « fun roller »
A one arm version came my old home towns county fair for a few years.
It's called top gun where I am. It's one of the most insane fairground rides. Both the height and the speed lol
The designs of these rides are very cool

They are fun, you get some great positive Gs at the bottom of the swing
We also got a skymaster here in Manitoba owned by wonder shows
These used to scare me but now I think they're pretty fun
I rode a “SkyMaster” at the Philadelphia SEYAA carnival I believe maybe in 2018/19.
you guys can make a part 2 if u wanna go more deeper on the the kamikaze rides including intamins looping starship

melbournes Luna park has the kamikaze manufactured by the two groups!! it’s called pharaohs curse and it’s pretty cool :)
Came to the UK i the late 80s. I remember ot Skymaster. Firm favourite.
you should have included the ultimate in these style machines, the CAH "Voyager." nice vid though
My local show has a kamikaze 1 that i have yet to ride. There was an accident on I think a Kamikaze 2 here in Australia in late 2020. Judging by images of the ride it didn't appear to have a redundant seat belt, only ots restraints.
one of the carnival companies who does a lot of the carnivals near me has a ride that looks a lot like kamikaze but it’s called footloose
Ahh a Kamikaze 2. I think Footloose belongs to NAME.
Wonder Shows in Winnipeg Manitoba owns a Skymaster and travels all of Manitoba with it.
Awesome you go in much more detail then the other guy
This was just a ride that I had more information on, we flip whose lines are whose depending on the ride and our individual knowledge of it. We both contribute to the script of the video.
We have a Skyfire that travels around the us that comes to my county fair every year
Wonder Shows in Manitoba still has their SkyMaster.

theres also A.R.M. US Hi flyer / screamer which are single arm versions
Single arm versions will get their own video with the Huss Ranger.
The only one I've been on is the Fiesta Shows A.R.M skymaster, "Top Gun"
I had the opportunity to ride one. J didn’t take it though, I instead rode a similar ride that spun as well.
I remember lining up for the ranger with butterflies in my stomach like Josh in the movie big lining up for the super loop. Haha 😂 Boy what a blast
In kuwait we do have a skymaster ride in hawally park I want to ride it next time I come to the park
There was also a version the the whole bass rotates.
Not sure why you didn’t mention the intamin one but good video
“This ride was made before the creation of over the shoulder restraints.” Sir, excuse me?

perhaps a HUSS Ranger?
@@CoasterCollege most likely an A.R.M (USA) screamer ride

I rode the Loop O Plane at Keansburg that was so intense
aayyyy the first clip is from my home park!
Our county fair used to have a kamikaze ride, it hasnt been there in 5 years no idea what happened to it
Yessir I’m still scared to do loop on a coaster or flat ride
this ride is fun but for bigger people like my the restraints hurt so bad when you get hang time
Where is Moser rides? They have 3 versions in production of the Kamikaze ride, even one with flipping gondolas.
wait omg this is the ride ive been trying to remember from the fair when i was younger i thought it wasnt real lmao

I saw that Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park burned down
I herd about that, it sad to see it go. Even though Its not my home park
I really wanna go on those rides
are we sure there’s only one ARM skymaster? i just found a video that’s only 11 months old of one called Top Gun which is owned by fiesta shows of new england
hope you can read this it's a personal experience from one of these rides, on a travelling fair near my house they have one of these, I could tell the maintance for it was bad, the hydraulic system for the front restraint was literally broken, deattached from the seat.
A few days go by and from my house I see the ride staying upside down unusually lonfer than it should, I counted the time and it was A FULL MINUTE, I was shocked as I had never seen one of these stay upside down dor that long, idk if it was manual but damn, talk about hangtime
Dang, it's hard to balance the ride like that, was the ride loaded with guests when that happened?
@@CoasterCollege I'm not sure since it was kinda far away from me but I think there were people since the park was open
The Ocean Drive Pavilion in North Myrtle had this ride type I rode it
Vietnam have a Kamikaze Ride too
