  • For the first time, I travel to South Africa to one of the biggest theme parks in the country: Gold Reef City! Home to the World's most intense roller coaster: Tower of Terror. As well as this, I ride some of the parks (and Africa's) best roller coasters such as 'The Golden Loop' and 'Anaconda'. I even have one of the craziest moments I've ever had at a theme park where the ride operators pulled a Final Destination style prank- claiming the roller coaster had broken mid ride!

    I used to live in South Africa, but in Cape Town unfortunately. I used to go to Ratanga Junction in the city, but it no longer exists there now. I've always wanted to go to Gold Reef City since I was a child. I'm already jealous that you're there.

    I remember visiting this park when I went to South Africa a few years ago, was lucky to catch most if not all of the rides walk on, including Anaconda, where I got multiple rides and had a great day. Hope you had a great day at this unique theme park.

    Dude! Can’t believe that drama on Golden Loop with the restraints and the operators! Hilarious and Scary! 😂

  • @technoandrew
    @technoandrew Před 2 lety +19

    That incident on Golden loop, not gonna lie that would’ve scared the hell out of me! Even when you know how coasters operate, would never expect anything like that from the operators. I guess if you’re used to the culture it wouldn’t be so bad. I can see the funny side, but it’s also kinda crappy that they scared those kids into not riding.

    Oh yeah. I've only visited Gold Reef City once, but I remember Jozi Express being a real rattler. You also have to cling onto the supports on the turns, it always feels like you're going to fall sideways and drop out of the coaster.

    From the looks of the tower of terror I would guess Bolliger & Mabillard were the manufacturer because the design is similar to baron 1898 at efteling in the Netherlands but that is just a guess
