Amazing behind the scenes video cedar point is definitely a bucket list park.
Callum Thompson I love it there, such an incredible place.
@@yourexperienceguide The place doesn't look real lol, I remember watching the first travel vlog for cedar point that you did and your reaction to seeing the park for the first time was amazing lol.
Callum Thompson It was an emotional moment that’s for sure 😀
@@yourexperienceguide I can imagine it was mate 😁
Umm its the best coaster park in the world. Period. Get fast lane passes or your screwed
The Dive Coaster checklist
Immelmann right after drop: check
Mid course break run that slows the train to a halt: check
Random inversion or two or random splash effect: check
End: check
HR They’re not the most exciting coasters in fairness
I thought the random splash effect served as a water break.
SheiKra and Griffon have left the chat
That was very interesting,love behind the scenes stuff....Thanks for posting....
Peter Piper Thank you 😊
SO COOOOOL!!! He's running the fastest and yet safest train line.
Thank you for watching and commenting
Loved this vlog first time around, love the content Scott, absolutely brilliant, you've just made me go back in the archive to watch this full again
alfnsue Thank you, always love these kinda tours 😀
Loved this really good to see inside the maintenance garage and watch the ride operations controls and transfer track :) and that floor that goes up and down awesome that
Mic Jubba It was such a great tour, thank you for watching 😀
Another great video Scott can't wait 4 this to be over get back to normality
Always find these videos fascinating. Only been on two of these types of coasters, oblivion & valkyria. Would like to go on more.
Gypsymuffin Thank you, I’m planning to release more videos like this from my archives 😀
Loved the vid
Tyler Tattershall Thank you for watching 😎
Another amazing,creative,space saving idea,still love the big one carriage change more though😉😉
Jamie Machon Same here, even if it’s an unreliable system now it’s still great to watch
valraven is one of my top 5 roller coaster at cedar point because it is very very very smooth and that it is the tallest longest and fastest diving coaster in the world and i love that first drop
Not sure where I rank it, Magnum is the best there though
Nice to watch not being able to go out thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching! :)
Amazing stuff, I would absolutely love to do that tour!
It was epic, one of the best things I've ever done at an amusement park. Walking along the highest point of the ride was so good too.
@@yourexperienceguide what was the tour called
@@snowballinflatableandgaming Sunrise Tour
@@yourexperienceguide mk thanks
My dirty bird. Loved working that ride this season.
Thanks for watching and commenting, will you be returning to the park in 2021? 😀
Meant to be going in 6 weeks 😭 Absolutely gutted is an understatement. Keep up the great videos I keep rewatching all the Cedar Point vlogs 👍🏼
Daniel Selcraig 8 weeks for me, also very gutted 😢 Let’s hope we can get there eventually
Pleasure Beach Experience just wanna go on dragster 😭
It's an ARB anti roll back. The chain dog carries you up the lift. Coaster mechanic here. The clicking you hear up a lift, is the ARB slapping on the roll back wrack.
Thank you for watching and commenting
valravn is the best ride at cedar point i am a really big fan
Not for me, but it's alright
My late Grandfather would have loved to see this. He loved coasters and Cedar Point. How did you get to see behind the scenes? Thank you for filming and posting this video.
Hi Erika, we paid to do the tour, it wasn't cheap but it was one of the best things I've ever done at an amusement park. The full video from the day is here; czcams.com/video/g1xqeV8hpN0/video.html
More info about the tour; www.cedarpoint.com/tickets-passes/vip-tours/sunrise-thrills-vip-tour
so for the E-stop, if it cuts all power... that doesn't seem safe for station blocks, or am I misunderstanding? If there's no power how does it stop a train?
I don't think he quite meant it like that
They are failsafe brakes. They actually require power to open instead of closing. In the case of the magnetic brakes they use permanent magnets.
E-stop actually doesn't "cut power" to rides. It's actually a 2 channel string e stop. If either channel opens, it impliments an E-stop condition in the controller.
This releases a relay called the ESR (E - stop relay). This relay in turn shuts off 2 MCR's (Master control relays)
These MCR's are required to be on to supply voltage to most outputs of the controller.
This enables pilot lights and alarms to remain on, while critical outputs (such as brake valve solenoids, motor drives, 480v hot rails...) to be shut down immediately until the fault condition is removed and a system reset performed.
I'm an attraction electrician so I'm just speaking from experience 👍🏻
Opening weekend Saturday I was next in line and the ride broke down. one of the floor pieces got stuck I think.
Sorry to hear that, hope you had a good day
I would love to do this kind if tour, if I didn't work on aircraft I'd be working on coasters 😍
Awesome!
I can’t see Blackpool Pleasure Beach opening the season Blackpool pleasure beach it’s like Disney World they cannot afford open the air park at this moment well into next year when the virus is over they can’t take that chance great video young man
dave arnold Thank you for watching ☺️
7:00 "this is our e-top, we only press this if the ride is on fire or a piece of track is missing" hahaha probably not a wise move to mention that! haha
Josh l Lol, I think it was the way of saying they don’t ever use that button.
so as gate keeper because it is a wing coaster and it is my very first wing coaster i rode in my entire life that first drop is preety smooth in my opinion it is the best wing coaster out right now maybe not in other peoples opinion but in my opinion it is but the fist drop goes down preety slow but it is still a fun roller coaster
Gatekeeper is pretty dull in my opinion
How does one go on this tour?

I want to see the emergency stop being tested!
Thank you for watching and commenting
The estop DOES NOT KILL ALL POWER TO THE RIDE, THE SHUNT TRIP DOES.
Thank you for watching and commenting
3 years on a road wheel? Now I am jealous. I'm lucy if I see more than 3 months from some of mine.
Haha need to cut back on those miles!
@@yourexperienceguide Oh I wish it was that easy. I would love to know what company are supplying their wheels though.
Lee Owen I understand I do about 30k miles a year minimum
@@yourexperienceguide You mean car tyres? I was referring to coaster wheels :D
Lee Owen Haha woops! Where do you work?
So if some jackass undoes their seat belt or pulls out a camera on the lift, they hit lift stop, not E stop? This was cool to see. First time I've seen a control panel other than a static photo of one
Yeah, it's great that they don't have to go through the whole e-stop procedure when a controlled stop is needed. Thank you for watching :)
No wonder these coasters cost like 15-20 million. Look at all of this other stuff you never get to see that is part of it.
Yeah, I don't think people really consider that when posting on the internet that parks should build rides every few years lol. The upkeep of a B&M is a very large sum of money every year.
amazing video, cept. he was discussing things, that were making noise and somebody was going "OHHHPRETTYWHEELS" the person giving the tour, you follow and keep the camera on.
Thanks for watching, not too sure I understand the complaint but thank you! :)
Did You Know That YOUR Maintenance & Testing Is NO! Different Than That Of Ski Resort Ropeways. The Chairlifts Also Use Not Water Dummies But Do Use An Equilivant Of Water Dummies But Barrels Of Water On The Seats As A Load Test.. A lot Of Similarities Safety Switches, Proxy Switches, ECT Pretty Much The Same Stuff That Roller Coasters Safety Team Uses The Lift Operations Also Use.
Thank you for watching and commenting
Why the hell would B&M be so scared about anyone taking pictures of their blueprints? It's not like any of those people own a metal fabrication shop and CAD software to copy them. Also it's not like any of those people work for any coaster manufacturers, so what will they do with those pictures that so bad anyways? Post them to facebook? Yeah that REAAAALLY bad (sarcasm).
I guess you never know who's on a tour, could be a bunch of guys from Intamin or Vekoma as an example. Toverland did us a tour of their wing coaster and hide the blueprints when we did that tour.
The park I'm at, we look at the blueprints all the time for troubleshooting and repairs, but all the rides are extremely strict about who see's them.
all the manufacturers just want to protect their intellectual property I'm guessing
He needs to work on saying umm less
ManiacTNT Gaming I don’t think that matters
