"Parents have their kids locked up and swung around in metal birdcages."
If this hadn't been a video about theme park rides I would have assumed that to be some archaic form of punishment.
I know this comment now spouse to be funny but the metal birdcages is what got me 😂
Underrated comment
Lmao
Why do I want to go on it
I would probably do it to my child
I can't even begin to describe how long my day is when cleaning a Madhouse.
I can imagine
Sounds like torture
Damn mr. clean 😂😂

So true
Can't be a Theme Park Crazy video without an Epilepsy Warning
Or a short disclaimer in the beginning
Lol true
Or the reupload, can't forget about the reupload
Just like how an Airtime Thrills video isn't complete without complaining about lack of ejector air.
True
I'm from Spain and I'm so used to seeing Alcatraz-esque rides on carnivals that I didn't realize they weren't common outside of Spain
Me neither, I am shocked every time he mentions an attraction from las ferias, it seems so simple and common when living there.. that it's strange to hear that the attraction is so out there and crazy or cool
I like them. They look a lot more fun then the seated versions we have on our local fairs.
@@smurvje I haven't been on a lot of fairs but I've ridden these once or twice and they're pretty fun, you get like floater airtime but standing with no restrains, and it's fun when you hang onto the ceiling bars. Y oh gotta be careful if you ride with other people though because you may get pushed into one another (which makes it even more fun if they're friends or family)
The same with the rodeos (or "los toros", as we say in my city 😂). I thought they were quite popular wolrdwide
@@SelinaM21 las ferias are so cool. Too bad they only stay in my city for 2 weeks. What city in spain are you from?
I can't describe how awesome the Madhouse is. I rode one without any knowledge of what was going to happen. Most hilariously entertaining experience ever. I was pleasantly surprised to see it on this list.
i don't know if i'm skeptical or jusr brazilian, but i'd totally give them all a chance
Same

It's not Chinese, it's Portuguese. I was answering mvni.

Ive seen and put Sophie on the Tweety Cages dozens of times. Never thought of it as a bizarre attraction. Its also been moved around, it used to be over where Speedy Gonzales is today
I remember when the park opened I was disappointed that I was too big for the Tweety Cages. They still look like fun.
Love your channel!!!
Villa Volta (the rotating room thing) at Efteling blew my mind when I was younger and got on it for the first time.
From the amazing backstory theme to the ride itself, I was in complete awe.
From the outside you think it’s gonna be a complete upside down ride and tumbling. Then you get in and are like: wait, did I get on the right ride? 🤣
We used to have a similar ride at Carowinds called "Blackbeard's Revenge". It seriously blew my mind the few times I got to ride it. Sadly, it was taken out a few years ago to make room for new rides.
It might actually be my favorite ride in the Efteling. Good theming and an awesome soundtrack. I also love it when I get someone to go on it for the fist time and re-live the experience through their eyes.
You also have one at walibi holland its called merlin's magic castle
I totally love Villa Volta, especially the beautiful soundtrack 💜
That last ride looks like a kids ride you'd see in a Tim Burton movie or the Addams Family.
True
@@Salmon_Av1at10n bonnie?
Agreed!
I LOVE THE TWEETY RIDE!! It was my absolute favorite ride as a kid!! I remember how excited I was when I was allowed to go in my own cage instead of sharing. Best day ever! Hahahaha
The tweety escape is definitely an example where theming and immersion wins out over literal-minded thrill-number-crunchers. ... mainly because you have to view it from the kid's perspective.
- So you could either go on one of the other kid-rides at the park that are clones of other similar "go around the center post" rides with a looney toons mascot stapled on it (honestly not memorable ... maybe they had a taz devil ride with jeeps? can't remember)
OR
- you could hop in a bird cage in a ride called Tweety Bird's Escape, and pretend like Sylvester was gonna get you and you were escaping
In a literal-minded sense, yeah it's weird. From a kid's perspective - yeah of course the bird cage ride's a winner.
@Anthony Guarino I'm sure I did when I was a kid riding it. XD
That’s were the naughty kids go
The cage
The tweety bird cages was one of favorite rides growing up. You not only could sit or stand, you could swing from the cross bars inside the cages. I usually rode the cages upside down. I really wasn't expecting to see that. That brought back memories.
Imagine being the ride-op at that digger-ride.
Spun in circles all day long with little peripheral vision.
He must get sooooo motion sick.
The Topple Tower is my favorite flat ride of all time. I remember when I was young, I used to love Timber Tower at Dollywood. I was so sad when they removed it. I hate to see them lost to time. As with the Sky Swat. It probably was the most intimidating flat ride I've ever been on.
It's now in Bellewearde Park in Belgium
Some of these rides actually look fun
Ikr
I got to experience Slammer twice. Glad i did before it went "extinct". It’s actually still SBNO.
Catapult
I went on this twice each trip to Thorpe park so approx 20x in total before it was stopped - loved it 😁
I rode it once and hated it. Feels like you are going to fall out. The harness was horrible 😭
It was my favorite one at Thorpe park, I was so upset when it closed. I wonder what they plan for it or plan for the land it's standing on because it's literally been sbno for 4 ish years now they've got to do something
I rode it as SWAT at AstroWorld... I came off crying.
I rode a version of the mystery ride at 6 flags in Nj. It was called the Houdini attraction. One of the coolest rides I’ve ever been on.
The Madhouse is a fun experience. I've experienced them at Six Flags New England and Six Flags Great Adventure, both under the name "Houdini's Great Escape"
I rode Alcatraz, the tagata and the rodeo attractions, veery popular in Spain, and also extremely fun! It seems that we spaniards love having attractions that are really dangerous lol
it feels like ur bladder is leaving ur body-
The first 9 attractions look quite bizarre but also impressive and grand in their own ways. But then at number 1 there is Tweety’s Escape 🤣.
Awesome video and I’d definitely love to ride some of these attractions such as the rodeo, the mad house, and the topple tower. Definitely will avoid the Ferris ring though as it seems like it could legitimately be unsafe.
I love your bizarre amusement ride videos. Because I’m a little older, I remember riding some of these rides as a kid. Especially the Skydiver! One of my favorites! Keep up the good work buddy!
Stuck for six hours ? I need to pee after six minutes !!!!
I was wondering how the park compensated them.
And of course Dollywood sued Huss due to the mechanical issues, leading some to wonder if Dollywood was gonna sue RMC over Lightning Rod’s issues.
The Topple Tower looks pretty awesome, actually. As for the Rodeo, I doubt there are any amusement park / carnival operators in the U.S. that will take the risk on a ride where people actually fall off it.
Always loved The Slammer at Thorpe park absolutely mad at the back with your hands up and stopping upside down was insane.Very fast.
I’ve been on Topple Tower at Marineland before it broke. I was on one of the last ride for it.
It’s now been removed and replaced with Star Voyager
the Tumbler looks like something out of the Centrifuge Brain Project 😳
Thanks so much for featuring The Tumbler. There was a second long clip in one of your previous videos and my mouth dropped open in awe! Nice to learn more about it. Way ahead of its time!
I absolutely adore Vekoma mad houses, Hex at Alton Towers is one of my favourite rides
me too
I have been on a sky swat and it's a pretty awsome flat ride. It's a shame they have all gone.
Woah, The Diggerland park looks amazing and the rides too. Hope I can go there someday.
I've been there once when I was a kid, it's a pretty weird place from what I can remember. Much more of a family park, but definitely charming. Spin Dizzy was a very fun ride, though - it really did feel like a bit of construction equipment that they put seats into (which I guess it is)
My two boys would love it 😍 or going to a dinosaur theme park 🙂
I did ride "Alcatraz" in my tennager days and it's truly fun ride. The freedom feeling and the gravity 0 plus the freedom movement for can jump and literally free fall with the ride, it's priceless.
It's really safe ride as well.
I have ridden Villa Volta in the Efteling (Madhouse) and it is a truly unique and fun experience.
Me too
Lil dizzy after the ride and a pretty boring talk before the ride but i like it
I ridden one in legoland. My mum nearly threw up!
The topple tower looks amazing, and it makes me proud that the last one in europe is in my home nation!!!
I actually found it pretty boring.
I looks more thrilling then it is do to the slow rotation speed
I’ve been on the Marineland one many times before it was removed
Same for me, but it's not really a fun ride tho, ive been on it a couple of times in Bellewaerde. I'm way more proud about Revolution, the longest operating coaster in the world at Bobbejaanland in Belgium :), Peter included that coaster in atleast 2 from his videos in the past
I found the Topple Tower to be pretty mild. I first went to Dollywood in 2007.
I remember Skydiver was in Toshimaen in Tokyo, Japan around 40 years ago. It's removed and replaced by a similar ride called Enterprise.
This amusement park itself was closed this year, though.
I’ve ridden a ride almost identical to the Aviation Training Ride and it was awesome. We used to have a ride called the Solar Flare here in Edmonton at West Edmonton Mall and it was our favourite. The only difference I can see is that the Solar Flare had the standup ride config at both ends and had more standard seating at all the other positions. Both were fun but we preferred the standup positions. It was actually a very smooth and fluid feeling ride that gave a neat sense of flying. We were disappointed when they took it away.
---We had a smaller version of the rotating room- attraction in Stockholm called the "Witch Swing"
Diggerland is LITERALLY an hour form me and I NEVER KNEW!!! Thank you so much!!
I've been on two madhouse. One in Legoland Windsor and the other at Walibi Belgium
I was lucky enough to ride the Slammer (sky swatter in Thorpe park) multiple times before it’s closure. I thoroughly enjoyed it when it was running, and I remember how many issues it did have. It had to close a few times during the day due to maintenance issues, or just stay closed for the entire day
The madhouse is one of my favourite rides of all times. the Villa Volta is amazing, especially with the amazing music that plays
"The Madhouse" for us at SFGAdv is called "Houdini's Great Escape" lol
ive been on that ride
@@mabelbello9851 cool! I got dizzy the first time I went on it, I was like, "Why do I feel like I'm being pushed forward?"
It's one of the most unique rides there.
*me wondering why this is a part of the WENDCU*
Girl me too tf
"Swat" at Astroworld was simply the worst flat ride I've EVER been on.
My Spouse and I both got off it and said "never again". . not only was it terrifying, it was uncomfortable, and the amount of upside-down hang time gave both of us headaches.
that I still have such a negative reaction to it, more than 16 years after it closed? says a lot. . .LOL
Love these videos about unique attractions around the world! Keep 'em coming :)

Wow! That Tweety Bird Cage ride was something else! 😂 My favorite ride on the list though is The Tumbler because of how unique and rare it is and the fact that my home park is Six Flags Over Georgia! Madhouse is a good one also! 😉
The Tumbler should've been renamed Cyborg Cyber Spin if it was kept all the way into the late 2010s.
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 That's a good name for it since Six Flags has rides based on DC characters.
Madhouses are so great. Hex is one of my favourite rides ever. It caught me so off guard when I first rode it and I will continue to drag more people to join me on it.
Thanks for another great video! I loved the tweety’s escape ride as a kid and get a kick out of the old photo of me riding it. Glad I’m not the only one who appreciates that gem
Loved Catapult at SFNE!
Would love to try a Topple Tower.
Topple towers are so much fun. Wish they still were around.
As a spaniard i have to say that alcatrazz is insane, that thing does more airtime than any roller coaster in the world xdd
Tagada, Alcatraz and the Rodeo ride are the most popular rides in Spain. I just love the airtime you get in Alcatraz flying around the cage
Did the topple tower different times in Bellewaerde, never realized until few years ago how special it was.
Madhouse is always fun, you have multiple ones here 😁
7:49 The real question is : Who never thought a backhoe loader would make a good amusement ride ?
I would because I’m a excavator operator and you just wouldn’t believe what you can do with one of these machines.!!!
@@terrysweat4187 I mean, as a kid, me and my classmates all said these machines looked a lot like funfair rides and we wanted to sit inside while we saw one spinning and waving up and down next to our school, looked like so much fun ! So I believe we are a lot to have the same thought
I’m glad this is a part of the Wendy Williams Cinematic Universe
Lmao HAHAHAHA but I guess this video is not part of the wendyverse
Clearly, this is giving peak wendy, arguably challenging james charles and guy fierri combined
The fact that I literally came here after watching Wendy videos 🤯🤯
New fan of yours right here love your videos 💕
i once went to six flags with one friends and i was always a roller coster lover but we came across a little “town area” that we thought was cute and we explore and went into a house and we thought it ended up being a tour. but then they sat us in the room and what happens in the Madhouse happened. It became my favorite ride. It was so mysterious and awesome. I couldn’t believe the design of the ride. Cannot wait to find another one to go on one day!😭
I went on an Alcatraz a few years back, very strange feeling 🤣, also does not feel safe as the cages appear to only be locked down with lift pins
Then they invented some kind of alcatraz attraction but it turns you head down OMG it was scaring I felt like falling in every turn
It's really weird but where I live it's probably the most common attraction
Me watching a random POV: 😯
Theme park crazy in the comments:
I was wondering if I could use this footage for my new video I’m working on. I will give full credit in the video.
I always respect him for giving credit and getting permission.
Yay, another ride i;ve ridden on a list. I've been on Slammer at Thorpe park and yeah, i visited the park maybe 5 times in the 2 years the ride was open and it was only operating once when i was there. I still had to ride it though and honestly, was a hell of an intense experience, would love that ride design to make a comeback if it could be made more reliable.
Merry Early Christmas and Happy Holidays, my dude!
I rode the Sky Swat at Six Flags New England, and I can honestly say it was a terrifying experience.
Such a good ride. I wish they were still around.
Whoa, the Haunted Swing sounds trippy, huh??
Almost 200k subs!!! Keep up the great work peter!!
YET ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
I literally laughed out loud when i saw the Tweetie ride
I was lucky another to go on The Slammer (Sky Swat) in Thorpe Park a few years back. Nearly everytime I went to the park the ride would be closed. I was lucky enough to make it on one time though! I must say, as fun and as unique as it is, it is one of the most uncomfortable rides i have ever experienced. Im glad I got to ride it, but man I would never ride it again
Wow, I remember the tumbler. It was at Astroland in Coney Island Brooklyn. I was just a kid at the time, but I remember standing there and watching it with my father. Forgot what year that was, but it wasn't there long. It was close to the diving bells that they had there if anyone remembers.
I've been on something similar to the Madhouse at Six flags in Massachusetts. It was a very strange feeling. You had to walk through it. Love your videos!
I want a sequal even tho I'm still at the intro🤣
The best mad house is at Alton towers it's called hex it really good and I would recommend it alot
Really?
I found it incredibly boring.
I remember Timber Tower at Dollywood. It was a unique experience. But only rode it twice every other time I was at the park it was always down for maintenance.
Please do a video on some unique theme park carousels!
Hi! I'm an Italian fan of yours, I have a request for you. Could you mark the height of the coasters also in meters? Thank you so much!
Don't expect too much from USians lol
The sight of Tweety's Escape just made me laugh out loud. :D
The topple tower and Alcatraz look amazing. That flyswatter ride looks nuts though
Okay but Miss Girl at 1:40 is amazing. She’s the only one that stayed on while the entire batch of riders were decimated. We stan 👏
1:20 I didn't know Mack manufactured bull heads!
In case you didn't know,the rodeo rides in Spain,during the cycle of the ride,the song Tribu Comanche by Zapato Veloz is played
Wow never heard of a construction themed park. That's a real cool concept. And I gotta try that flat ride in Spain!
I know the exact location of some of these rides. They operate daily in Nopesville. I was going to ride them once, but sadly, had to go on a trip. I remember now, I left on the 3:15 to F-thatastan. Great channel though, just found you and subbed !
Here before the re-upload
Slammer closed the year before I went to Thorpe Park I was.so bummed
Yer miss slammer☹
I love your videos omg I love these
Nope. I will ride every single rollercoaster I can, but I can't do flat rides.
Sammeeeee!!!
@@skstonesmith My son made fun of me for being "too old" to do the spinning rides for years. Then, he hit 13 and puked all over one. They literally had to hose it down. Good times😀😀😀
i subscribed when you pronounced mack and huss correctly
the rodeo is actually an insanely fun flat ride, it is very common in spain
an i have also ridden the alcatraz, you have to hold on tight in that thing, othrewise you will go from side to side agressively. it also gives airtime at the peak
I’m Dutch, and our biggest two parks both have a Vekoma Mad House, so I did not realise at all that they’re uncommon lol. I love them, they’re so immersive!
Anyone here from Wendy Cinematic Universe??? 😂
Yes I'm here😲
The tumbler looks like a ride from Planet Coaster lol
That name sounds familiar as there's another ride with the same name as the gondolas r stationary as well as the main support as it spins forward and backward u can find this ride here at czcams.com/video/_vnYFyTsqYg/video.html it starts at 10 minutes and 33 seconds
Tweety's escape was my FAVORITE as a kid! My family went to that park and I was too tiny to ride any big rides so I went on that ride so many times!
That bull one I still wonder how it got approved
Inb4 peter takes this down due to some research error or copyright issue
Lol I said the same thing
@@mr.rollercoasters Hi Brady
200k subs! Great job!
In the early '60s, when I was a kid, a carnival came to the Harundale Mall, (Glen Burnie, Md.), parking lot with some strange flat rides I had never seen before or since. I do remember one with cages 2 riders could stand in and make swing from side to side until it would swing over the top, staying upright. Very strange and fun!
Aren't 90% of flat rides weird already lol
Topple tower is definitely the weirdest in my opinion
went on spindizzy and it was the first time i was sick on a flat ride. very fun though
Another great TPC video.
OMG now I want to go to Diggerland!
I BEEN THERE
Who's here after a Wendy William's marathon?
