- These are every manufacturer's weirdest coaster, those rides that they built that are either just bizarre, or weird coming from that manufacturer.

"Nothing's weird with RCCA" *shows SOB's loop*
Here's a video idea: What extinct roller coaster models would you like to see make a return, and what sort of changes could we see to bring these models into the modern day?
Hot take: I think Intamin should bring back the space diver. They could definitely make it work with their current technology
I’d love to see someone revive the Suspended Coaster one day. Those swinging cars provided a very unique ride experience.
@juiceboxer100 they could make the drops less steap, add a heart line roll and use lap bar only trains
Stupid question. Here's an idea Garrett: ask better questions, you douche
Schwarzkopf. I'm obsessed. And of course, a fourth dimension coaster. I'm sure that by now it can be smoother and even more well designed
Video Idea - Americas Most Sentimental Coasters. Some coasters might not be the tallest, fastest, or hold a record, but they are near and dear to the hearts of their fans. I was one of the people who reached out to save the Whizzer at Six Flags Great America. It is a great family ride and the first coaster that I rode when I was a kid. I think of others like The Beast, Coney Island Cyclone, etc. that hold special memories for many people. Anyhow, it’s just an idea. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I have a list video coming out in February ranking all the ACE landmarks, that is chalk full of sentimental favorites.
@@AirtimeThrills I've been on one of the ACE Coaster Landmarks!! Even got a picture of the sign in the station too! It was Roller Coaster at Lagoon
“RMC hasn’t made anything weird” what about Lighting Rod. I’d call the worlds only launched wooden coaster relatively weird.
Why is that every manufacturer gets weird in their last year? Always right before they go bankrupt
Last ditch effort to save the ship
@@AirtimeThrills exactly. I was just going to say desperation!
You'll be surprised in this post there's some people that think those thing would save company too
@@bocahdongo7769what are you saying
To be honest, the Intamin zac spin is one of the weirdest models I have ever seen. And it’s absolutely rough as well
So is the Space Diver model, that's probably why only one was built and defunct.
Fuck The Zac spin, May it die a fiery death
We need more coasters like The Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain, it's what mine train coasters should be like now.
I think Vekoma’s oddest model is definitely the stingray… such a bizarre model. Strange layout, super compact, however I don’t know how it tracked. But great video, keep up the great work!
Or Illusion
Like, WTF those things supposedly do
@@bocahdongo7769 that’s a better point. It has bizarre trains and an even weirder layout.
@@bocahdongo7769 they have good capacity and surreal theming at least
For Intamin, I'm surprised you didn't pick their Space Diver model. And another weird Arrow coaster for the time could be Drachen Fire @ BGW, different supports, new/different elements new style train.
Intamin had a bunch of contenders
@Airtime Thrills Also for Schwarzkopf, I would pick the Catapult coaster, it's a bent figure 8 with a tire launch.
Bruh Flashback was my dream coaster as a kid, it looked so weird but I never got to ride it 😔 always think of it when I go to magic mountain
Someone needs to copy that Ferris Wheel launch.
I appreciate that you're not just covering the manufacturers from the US and Europe :)
Arguably the Intamin free-fall drop towers (like Hollywood Tower in Movieland, Italy) are also kind of coasters, and they're definitely very weird!
Video 3 You should do a video we’re you do every stand up coaster past or present by the Numbers, and in that video rank every stand up you have ridden.
For Intamin, I think their weirdest is Dueling Dragons. I know of no other coaster that goes through two sides of a loop at the same time, one train inverted, the other sit down. That’s bizarre and super interesting looking.
For Arrow there are a lot of choices. Pre X I might have said the Disneyland Matterhorn though since it was the first tubular steel coaster and the only one of it’s kind. But yeah X2 is a wild and weird concept for sure. And an awesome one. I wish there were many more of those built as it’s too good for there to be so few.
Giovanola Anaconda is a bit weird in someways because its 2 wide seats make it look like an SLC but it rode more like a B&M invert (or at least it did when I rode it). Had a roar good elements, some tunnels, a helix around rock work. The hypers arnt good but its a shame that they went bust as you could have been really solid for parks that didnt want to pay for B&Ms as it was a lot nicer then the SLC's we have today.
I seriously wonder what the designers at arrow were smoking when designing X2
The whole 4 rail thing is so out there. And the on top of track/under track going forward and backwards is so trippy
I’d argue that Mr. Freeze is a close second for Premier’s weirdest coaster. How often do you see a backwards launching shuttle coaster with a dual-loading station, an inverted top hat and a booster launch on a vertical spike? Not often.
Thrice
If I had a nickel for the number of times Premier built a backwards launching shuttle coaster with a dual-loading station, an inverted top hat, and a booster launch on a vertical spike, called Mr. Freeze, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't much but it's weird it happened twice.
@@samuelahoffmantwice currently
The TOGO Logo:
... just ... Bravo, sir!
You forgot that PTC also made Black Diamond at Knoebles. It is PTC’s only steel coaster, and is a dark ride/coaster hybrid.
Personally I think Lightning Rod would’ve been a good contendor for weirdest RMC. I think a launched wooden coaster is a very unique and weird idea even if not as weird as a lot of the other stuff in this video, and even though it isn’t really a wooden coaster anymore
Had no idea, my favorite type of roller coasters, the skyloop, was on the list. When I went to Skylinepark in Bavaria (Germany) I had to ride their skyloop coaster, the Sky Wheel, at least 5 or 6 times, if possible in a row (best if you go in the morning and you can just stay seated because you are the only one on the coaster). It's just so much fun for such a short ride. And the swinging back and forth in the end before the brake is used is the best part.
Idk, for Gerstlauer I’d have to go with the Gekion Live coaster at Tokyo Joypolis. It’s like what would happen if you somehow combined DDR or Guitar Hero and an indoor spinning launch coaster with an inversion.
Always a good day when Chris uploads
Tornado looks WILD. Just watching Coaster Studios ride it was enough to see how nuts it looks.
I think you could argue that the mobius layout of Twisted Colossus makes it RMC's weirdest coaster. The rest of the elements are pretty typical for the company but the layout itself and possibility of dueling is not. And mobius loop layouts are pretty uncommon in general (unless of course you cross the exact same park.)
Screaming Squirrel didn't give me anything. Just a lot of hangtime
Superman El Ultimo Escape is the weird Morgan. It follows the out n back layout like the others but excutes it in a different way, also has multiple ejector pops before the lift
I won’t lie I feel like the Space Diver model might be Intamin’s weirdest
I rode the original King Cobra at Kings Dominion, I was about 12ish in age, an it frightened me because of going backwards, but I loved it, same with riding Loch Ness Monster opening week, man, I miss those days, but not the walks up Busch Gardens hills. Lol.
Love the toboggans.
for gci it also could have been eltoro at freizeitpark plohn because the track doesnt go over or under itself (the only one which does that)
Video Idea - Is “Son of Beast” impractical? Is it possible to build a wooden structure on this scale; and maintain safe operation? Did the coaster exceed the limits of a wooden model?
Thats what I'm kind of gathering but i know rcca and the lumber company got sued for the work and materials they used. I dont know enough about the engineering to give any kind of explanation though
@@AirtimeThrillsCould another manufacturer have pulled it off? Maintaining a wooden structure at the magnitude of a steel coaster? It seems too overwhelming.
@@ratedexploited go watch EL Toro Ryans video on it it has all the details and someone maybe able to do it but probably will never try without RMCs Wood coaster it became basically 0
@@Outpost5Explorations I was just going to say there is an excellent video detailing the structural design flaws, the flaws in construction, the lack of extra bracing in heavy load areas and the use of extra heavy trains necessary to give the momentum to get through the loop. That company was such a disaster. I don't know how they didn't end up killing somebody on either SOB or Rattler down at Fiesta Texas. There is a video dedicated to that coaster as well and some of it just makes my toes curl to watch.
@@ratedexploited I think another manufacturer could have definitely pulled it off, and Kings Island would have been able to maintain it just fine. KI has a great team to maintain their woodies. It's just that, just like RCCA did, they completely screwed over the parks that hired them. Unfortunately for KI, they didn't pay attention to what happened with the rattler. I think Din could have done it successfully, and had someone actually built it correctly, KI would either be in line, or already have the biggest, baddest RMC in the world. Also, as was already suggested, ElToro Ryan has a great video on SOB. If you're interested, go give it a watch. While you're at it, watch the one on the rattler. RCCA botched, I mean, built that one too.
Doesn’t Maurer have a roller coaster on a boat? How is that not the selection here hahah. Incredible video, nonetheless 🔥
Caripro (a Dutch manufacturer known for their single-rail suspended coasters) definitely deserves a mention for *Ziggy's Blast Quest* at The Milky Way Adventure Park (Bideford, Devon, UK). Powered Single-Rail Coaster, indoors, spiral lifts, and with laser guns (shaped like orbs with a button up-top) and interactive targets. A very odd one, but definitely quite fun!
You should do a video on the weirdest flat rides.
Nice work yet again! Video series idea for you - What's every countries best (according to your first impressions) coaster or park? I imagine this would take a bunch of time but you could split it between a few videos.
So glad you referenced rip ride rocket! Ride deserves more love
The only Hopkins coaster I've ridden is Story Land's Polar Coaster, which is not super-weird but is definitely a little unusual, sort of a walrus-themed junior mine train making some nice use of terrain.
Weigand Should be the flying "Hexenbesen" at Erlebniswelt Seilbahnen Thale and for SBF Visa I'm surprised that you didn't even mention "Cool and Fresh".
I take it back, this is airtime thrills best series!
Lost Coaster at Indiana Beach is so weird it’s amazing
It was the first time I questioned what a roller coaster could do on a scale I never thought could be done
Dillon
Had such a blast on that ride though. The only time we laughed harder as a group at IB was when we "fit" 4 of us in one car on Tiger coaster. The women are small, both about 5'5", 110 but both of us guys are the exact opposite. I'm 6'2" 185, and my friend is 6'4" maybe 230. Shana and her bright ideas. We fit alright.
Indiana Beach is just a weird park, the two big wooden coasters are just about the only normal rides in the park!
Mom, can we ride a Schwarzkopf rollercoaster, 6:27 "We have a Schwarzkopf at home"😎😆
for pax it would have been defenetely their cobra 1 model aka the first single rail coaster and for schwartzkopf it would be the katapult model
You should do obscure manufacturers next. That’d be cool
You mean like Soquet?
@@markvolpe2305 OH YES. SOQUET.
@@CoasterGuy95 Caripro as well, I'd say. Got a suggestion from them (Ziggy's Blast Quest at The Milky Way Adventure Park in the UK) that I think fits the bill!
Congrats on 75K subscribers! And your Eagles are in the Super Bowl as well!
B&M's weirdest coaster is for sure Hydra The Revenge because the way B&M designed it was that they used a much higher pivotal offset number probably 6 or 8 and thats why its sorta weird.
if you dont know what pivotal offset is it is the same thing as heartlining.
Wait, I thought all ground-up Floorless has same heartline?
this was a fun little video, thanks
Fantastic info!
"Bullet" reminds me of the old "Katapult" coasters (if 'coaster' is the right word to describe those).
I do live in GErmany and know the GErman Coasters pretty good. And yes, the Pirate Coaster in Geiselwind is extra strange and unique. I loved that one.
When I was a kid my favorite roller coaster was the mad mouse. It wasn't tall or fast with an exotic seat position. It was a small coaster that twisted and turned quick and violently
Last I heard, unfortunately, they had to stop offering "boost mode" on tornado at Bakken. They might have changed it, but I remember hearing that towards the end of summer they had to stop. Also, Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain was such a fun ride. Riding backwards is definitely a hilarious time. All we did was laugh the whole time.
That sucks since ill actually get to ride Tornado this year
from what I can tell boost mode was really only programmed into the ride to help empty trains make it around the track on cold mornings during testing. Never intended for normal operation with guests onboard.
@@AirtimeThrills They might be able to do it again. If the park isn't busy, it won't hurt to ask. From what I gathered, it wasn't a super simple, "just hit a button, and spin the car when it pulls out" kind of thing. It was a bit of a process to make it happen. I would imagine they would have to have a clear track to put it in that mode, and then wait until you got back before they can put anyone else on?
Zierer also have the 3 Schwarzkopfs they built after Schwarzkopf went bankrupt (BMRX, Jetline and Lisebergbanen) with their weird spines and 2 of them having a curved chain lift.
Shout out to Thorpe Park's Vekoma Enigma coaster X:/ No Way Out. It was an enclosed coaster similar to a Vekoma Junior model that saw riders travelling backwards through laser lighting and rave music. Most bizarelly however it had multiple mid-course brake runs with dismembered mannequins, some which would shunt the train forwards for a brief moment before sending it backwards once again through the rest of the course. In case you're wondering it had no explanation or backstory exaplining any of the weirdness. It also had various funhouse elements in the extended queue like a vortex tunnel that were never used in the ride's later years as the queue never really was long enough to justify using this extension. You can still find the coaster there today now running forwards and rethemed as The Walking Dead - The Ride although it's a lot less surreal than its first incarnation.
There's a common misconception that it was about a giant computer that was infected with a virus and riders were sent in to act as an antivirus of sorts, the virus messing with their vehicle and sending them backwards (because 90s) with some even saying there was a pre-show that included this story that broke a few years in and was never fixed, however there's no evidence that this was ever the story and the "pre-show" people are thinking of was most likely the broken lift ( or elevator) effect in the queue that simulated being taken underground. The effect broke after a few years and the doors on each side were left open at all times for guests to pass straight through. This combined with the vague robotic announcements saying things like "This system is failing, there is no escape. There is no way out" and the coaster's name looking like a URL most likely led to this misconception.
For jimma, I actually think their new lsm launch coaster is their weirdest. It looks like a B&M with mack otsr lapbars and has weird pacing.
VIDEO IDEAS:The coasters of Alton towers by the numbers.
AND
The best backwards moments on any coaster.
It just occurred to me RCT2 made a replica of Bullet but with a reverse chain lift instead of a reverse tire launch. I think it was called Stingray?
Weird coasters from manufacturers you disqualified:
Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters: Black Diamond @Knoebels
Skyline Attractions: Brava! @MASS MoCA
Rocky Mountain Construction: Lighting Rod @Dollywood
Setpoint: Pteranodon Flyers @Universal's Islands of Adventure
I’m not sure how long you’ve been using the new intro, but I’m here for it! 👍🏾
Gotta love that new intro
I think that z-force is a lot weirder then tornado
I love the new intro!
1:04 for PTC you should’ve excluded gold nugget/black diamond. That weird dark ride that’s technically a coaster.
For Intamin, I would point to the now defunct Tower of Terror 2 at Australia's Dream World. Think Superman Escape from Krypton at Magic Mountain, but run up the side of an existing drop tower. Still shows up on Google Earth, and it's quite the sight.
Brilliant video
I was wondering when you were going to get to this part. Great minds think allot. I am headed to Venice Fla on Feb 11 to stay with my parents for about 4-6 weeks, cant wait to ride Gwazi again. Will try to get over to all the stuff in Orlando, but I hate driving over on that side of the state, a bunch of nuts and construction on I4. Lol
incredible video idea
8:20 there’s also another one of these at Motiongate Dubai called Dragon Gliders
Mumbo jumbo at Flamingoland resort in Yorkshire, England is about the weirdest coaster in Europe. Its serious fun though.
The weirdest coaster I have been on was Ultra Twister at Six Flags Astroworld (RIP)
I actually loved maximum rpm very unique
Neat. All look so interesting.
Lost Coaster could really use a Donkey Kong theming, like the old Donkey Kong Country games! I’m surprised Nintendo doesn’t have something similar at their theme park!
There’s a Donkey Kong coaster under construction right now for the Super Nintendo Land at Universal’s upcoming Epic Universe park.
A boost button on an Intamin coaster is a terrifying thought.
I love coasters so much! It’s a shame I haven’t been on one in like 5 years. Especially since I live 45 mins from Cedar Point. It’s my goal to go this summer
The E-Motion coaster by MackRides should've been picked instead of Arthur.
And Revolution at Bobbejaanland should've been chosen for Vekoma in my opinion.
For Gertslauer I would have put Fury in Bobbejaanland, with a multi-pass launch, and above all because we can decide whether we do the coaster forwards or backwards.
I recently got to go to Miribalandia in July, unfortunately Desmo was closed. God knows when I’ll be able to get back there, but ispeed and katun are both top ten coasters. It’s an awesome park.
I agree with Vekoma’s, it feels like it might be a very small parks first coaster. Also my birthday was three days ago.
I was expecting to find Gojimba by Ride Engineers Switzerland in the list. It is currently under construction in Serengeti Park in northern Germany. It is basically combining a roller coaster with a Sky Fly, and I'm really curious how this will feel (even though it will be kids friendly, so I do not expect too much of a thrill).
Who knew Togo invented the poop emoji when they designed their logo 💩
with the 5th car added to west coaster, theres some good airtime on the little airtime hills
For intamin, I would have gone with their spiral coaster model, a pipeline coaster with tyre driven heart line rolls and two “diving turns”. Tornado is a gerstlauer spinner compared to that.
S&S makes a lot of wierd coasters. El Locos, Screamin' Squirrels...
super surprised to see geiselwind on here, its a super small park but not too far from where i used to live so me and my family went there pretty often :D
Are you going to do anything for March madness? Either park battle or coasters.
Vekoma illusion models are wired and a fan favorite. Revolution at Bobbejaanland, and CHAOS at Opryland USA
The Quicksilver Mine Express is DAMN weird. And I say that as someone that sold season tickets to Bonfante Gardens (now Gilroy Gardens) before it opened. The first chain lift would stop every 2-4 rides with the train halfway up.
I would've put Shockwave as Intimin's weirdest, seeing how I think it's their only standup and it's a B&M before B&M's where a thing.
Now hear me out:
Every manufacturers most normal coaster
Most generic model? It's not all that hard to come up with that least for some of the big ones IMO.
1. Arrow: has to be corkscrew models
2. B&M: I'd say Batman clones just based on the sheer number of them.
3. Vekoma: I'd vote for their SLC model (notable mention goes to their Boomerang Model)
4. PTC: All of them?
5. Schwarzkopf: has to be their shuttle loop models
6. Intamin: OK Intamin is tough because they don't do a lot of clones and while they have plenty of launch coasters they are all pretty unique. Millennium Force maybe? Aside from size and speed it's not got a lot going on....
7. Gerstlauer: has to be their Eurofighter
8. Morgan: just their hyper coasters in general all seem to follow the same pattern
9. Dinn: has to be the Cyclone clones they made for SFMM and SFOG. Nothing remotely original about those and the one at SFOG wasn't a very pleasant ride either.
10. RCA: New Texas Giant since it's definitely the most conservative design of the bunch.
11. Mack: has got to be their Wilde Mouse clones
I mean I could pick a few more to add to the list but you get the idea. Basically either really conservative designs or oh I rode that at this other park I went to.
Video Idea: 10 Best Dinosaur-themed rollercoasters in the world.
I've ridden that shooter coaster in Pigeon forge TN it was fun
You forgot to mention that the B&M family inverts have the EXACT same layout as one of the vekoma versions. Not just that, but Texas Tornado is one of only two steel coasters with PTC trains. The other one being Black Diamond, which is also the only steel coasters built by PTC.
Desmo Race is not single rail, it has two rails, just positioned vertically. Same goes for the Wie-Hex
I rode X2 the the first year it was in the park, and it took all summer for me to catch it when it was running. (IIRC, the original name was Xtreme.) I also remember the toboggan coaster from my childhood.
Millennium Force: I am the least accommodating coaster for riders
Battle of Jungle King: Hold my beer
I'm 6'4 280 lbs and I fit in MF. I can't fit in Fahrenheit at all.
You can't just decide the boost mode on Tornado. It is very rare to get, since they have to stop sending trains out before they can turn it on. also, late summer last year they stopped doing it for the season. Hopefully it will be possible to experience that insane boost machine again this year because its a truly speciel experience!!
Maximum RPM was a very cool coaster I found the Ferris Wheel Lift to be the coolest part of the coaster it’s sad it never came back to life once it got removed from Freestyle Music Park
B&M has a few weird coasters coming this year a shuttle wing coaster in the UK, Surf coaster at Seaworld Orlando and a family wing coaster at Legoland Germany. plus they some more family inverts coming to the 3 Legoland's they are building in China that will start opening in 2024.
To add another weird B&M, I would go for the new Kid-Wing Coaster in Legoland Germany. Its extremly cursed that the second wing Coaster in Germany is this
I live in Michigan where the last traveling chance toboggan is, I’m yet to run into it tho
Here’s what I think was a great idea for a video, top 15 portable coasters in the U.S
