- From November 2022 through January 2024, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA) will be home to EJ Hill's Brake Run Helix. And this exhibit features a ridable coaster in Brava. Built by Skyline Attractions, this ride is similar to their new P'Sghetti Bowl coasters, but it features unique supports, mechanics, and cars. Find out how to ride this attraction and if it's worth it in this review!

From an art practice this is very interesting. It asks questions about the experiential, the roller coaster as sculpture, and the amusement park as gallery and museum. It invigorates a discourse of why amusement rides are important.
It's an interesting exhibit.
roller coaster go brr
what a neat installation- i love when viewers are encouraged to interact with art.
It's so odd, but cool, being able to get so close to this ride.
Blue Flash, Blue Too and now Brava … you are racking up the rarest of the rare!
Compared to Blue Flash, I think this is more mainstream.
I just don't consider this Rare because anyone has to opportunity to ride it and they know the time frame for when its gonna close
If I lived in the US, I would definitely try to experience this. As an art student, the whole idea of it intrigues me. The coaster should definitely live on as an exhibition, either at the current museum or at a theme park as there’s no reason that a chain lift couldn’t be added to the final ascent
Wherever it ends up, I hope people can still ride it.
@@CanobieCoaster it’d be kinda cool if it was moved to somewhere like cedar point and put in a building, train changed to 4 cars of 8 people and the station becomes where the offload area is, with a chain or cable to take it to the top. then the flat section at the top can be a pre-show sort of thing with a short audio description of what the attraction’s purpose is
there are backyards with far more complex and visually pleasing coaster tracks. the one good thing is that this one looks incredibly safe. too safe
It is very safe.
I went to MasMoca years ago, the atrium exhibit was a robotic armature that dropped paper from the ceiling, then was vaccumed up, lol. Looks like you experienced a better exhibit.
Sounds super cool still!
I'm both an art love and a coaster enthusiast. This is the 1st time I've heard the word "pasghetti" used in art since Steve Vai did in 1983 from "Details at 10" from Flex-Able leftovers which was finally released in 1998. If the spaghetti bowl of Brava killed you: I'll probably be left alone wondering wonder why you didn't like my comment. Thankfully: you survived to give us the straight facts. I'd fail at that because I'd not be able to keep a straight face and probably break into laugher. For not doing that: you are truly soldier. Thanks for this artistic and dryly humorous review of Brava. Bravo!
You're welcome! The name of the model is odd, but I could take the coaster seriously despite all its quirks.
You are correct regarding the ride's top speed. Without considering energy losses to rolling and air resistance, the drop would need to be 30 feet to hit 30 miles per hour. A 12-foot drop would hit a top speed of around 19 miles per hour -- likely a bit faster given that you started off with a push.
I know they push, but not that fast!
I calculated the theoretical top speed for a 12 foot drop to be around 10 miles per hour using √(2×9.8ft/s²×12ft)×(3600s/hr)/(5280ft/mi), now I'm wondering if I messed up a part
@@PinkGreenTaffy Hint: check your gravitational acceleration. (Its units say, "I'm American", but its magnitude does not.)
I love this thing. I really loved the paintings t the 5:00 minute mark.
I can see where the artist has made this a performance piece. When you went down, you seemed very excited and joyed, as I would, while another rider experiencing this may go down with a different reaction of being scared or worried.
This beauty is genius!
It is beautiful.
You definitely look for the beauty in anything 😅
Props
As an artist and coaster lover, this is hilarious and I love it. 👏
Nice!
I can say it is almost as fun to operate as it is to ride. (I am one of the museum attendants who operates it nearly every day.)
Awesome!
This is the coolest coaster concept! Wow the shot at 6:34 gives really good scale of the track size
I'm excited for its future.
Great video! However, it is to my knowledge not the first rollercoaster in an art gallery. Back in 2003 the Belgian art gallery S.M.A.K. also had a ridable rollercoaster as part of an art-installation. It was called 'An Arbitrary History: Roller Coaster'. You can Google it to find pictures.
Keep up the fun and nice reviews!
Very cool! I didn't know that one existed.
@@mayogaming3737 Gek dat ie niet op RCDB staat.
Ik ben een Nederlandse achtbaanfan, echt gek dat ik hier nooit van gehoord heb.
Needs moar inversions, maybe an immelman and corkscrew flying snake dive and dog tongue going over the other coasters
Now that would be art!
Also a turbo fakeout roll
I’m excited for the single rail dueling coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Honestly, Brava doesn’t seem like a normal kiddie coaster. It looks like a elite one.
It's weird. It has the stats of a kiddie, but kids can't ride it.
it seems perfect for teens scared of regular rollercoasters, who can no longer ride the kid ones. Because they are scared of heights.
First off, congratulations on over 100 thousand views on this 1 video already, this ride is so unique to everyone I guess. It's like a backyard coaster but built like one at a park. It actually looks quite fun.
It's good for its size.
As a roller coaster lover and a big fan of MASS MOCA im very excited to visit this
Enjoy!
Imagine if the ride flew back up to the station instead of backwards, at the right speed flying up back to the station would be airtime heaven!
That would be sick.
Heated discussions about the intensity of the new "brake run boomerang stall" element and on which coaster it should also be installed in 3,2,1...
Lol
I live in this town, always great to see it be mentioned
The downtown area was nice.
This sort of makes me think of my first time seeing a stage performance. It was a tiny independent theatre (like 30 seats), so I was very aware of myself as a part of the performance. In such a small room with such a small audience, sitting in an arm's reach of the actors, it was just impossible to be invisible and anonymous. There definitely is a performance aspect to riding a roller coaster at a amusement park, but then you're one of dozens of people, in a large outdoor space full of noise and visual distraction and another group will ride right after you. Being the sole passenger on a tiny coaster that only runs once an hour, in an enclosed contemplative space where it is very quiet, would make the self awareness _intense._ The fact that there seem to be only a handful of other patrons only enhances the effect. The rider can make specific eye contact with everyone watching as individuals rather than a crowd, and he knows that all eyes are on him. It certainly does raise some interesting thoughts about the social aspects of public attractions, so I'd say it succeeds as art piece.
This was definitely a unique experience.
A Cute Little Coaster :)
And An Impressive First Rideable Prototype Skyline Coaster 😊
It Shows What Skyline Can Do With This New Style Of Track ^w^
This new track is promising.
Finally something that can bring Kyle Sloane's creativity to life
I was really bummed I couldn't get a reservation to ride it a few weeks ago when I was in New England. Maybe I'll get to make a road trip to the parks in the area next summer. Or it will end up at an FEC after, it seems like a perfect ride for an indoor FEC.
It'll be interesting where it ends up.
Had the chance to ride this today! So glad we made the 2 hr trip
Great to hear!
Skyline has a bright future ahead of itself!
I'm excited for this model.
They really pulled off a Vekoma
Cool! Looks like they turned the brake up a bit, older videos have it going back and forth a few times.
I heard them talking about modifying the brake pad. I'm guessing it's to prevent someone from getting stuck on the helix, as seen in the @IDIGCOASTERS POV I used.
Got a ride on it just after Thanksgiving, definitely my most unique credit!
Nice!
I rode Brava for the first time yesterday and I basically agreed with everything you said. It’s a decent family coaster but the exhibit itself is amazing and getting that close to the coaster was unbelievable. And as someone who is 6’0”, yes the train is cramped but it’s not as bad as I thought it would be.
It felt wrong to be able to climb next to the coaster like that.
i aspire to build one twice the size!!! so very cool. very very impressive... also looks really fun
Good goal!
As a theme park fan I would love to ride this. As an introvert, I would be mortified with everyone clapping when the ride ends.
I didn't mind even though it was weird.
I want this exhibit to be brought to Winnipeg someday! We’re so desperate for a decent coaster LOL. Great educational video as always Buddy!!! 💪 😎
That would be nice for the area.
@@CanobieCoaster yes indeed! Winnipeg is lacking coasters
Roller-coaster and art don't seem to mix, ....but I'll open my mind and....
Roll with it.
Great concept
It was a different exhibit.
Knock-off rmc raptor 🤣
Kind of.
Kind of but RMC Raptors are single rail coasters. Which means that it’s not a knock off.
@@SadlerStudios ...This is a single rail, thats why I made the joke...
So small it’s more like a RMC chicken
Nah, Ohio version of a rmc raptor
such a sweet kumba pic at 10:42 , instantly recognizable
Sure is!
Bob Ross: paints 3 lines of color
Bob Ross: _"We can stop right here and have something for the Museum of Modern Art"_
Lol
Very cool. Thank you for sharing the experience!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I might never get to ride this since it is only temporary, but just thinking of a roller coaster at an art museum is insane.
It was surreal to see.
@@CanobieCoasterall the reservations are booked up until it closes
Finally, I have a coaster to mention when r/rollercoasterjerk makes fun of a low capacity ride!
The capacity is truly special.
this looks like a coaster i would build in roller coaster tycoon
It does look odd.
You lucked out….they trim the brake hard now to prevent a possible valley during the shuttle back into the helix. We missed the ‘untrimmed’ runs by one day. Either way, it was a stupid fun. Group of us went and we had all the reservation spots for the day. Great day we all had together.
Interesting they have to brake it more now. Makes sense since the POV I used showed it valleying.
M going to be in Massachusetts this summer for training. Might have to make a side trip to get this rare credit.
Hope you get a spot.
Might have to look into going out to western Mass then! Bit of a drive (2 hours) but could be a unique experience. I'm not a modern art fan, but I am a coster fun, so could be fun
Definitely check for reservations.
id love to see this get sent to a small park and have a lift, multi car train, and a completed layout added
Me too. The employees said the track can handle a 4 car train.
Very interesting _steel_ coaster. A steel coaster has steel track, a wood coaster has wood track, supporting structure is insignificant.
It's still a hybrid, but I agree the track is the bigger thing.
In a sense, roller coasters themselves are art, in a form that can be experienced not only visually and audibly, but also physically by riding them.
They really look cool.
I kinda surprised that a museum adding this unique roller coaster
It was a unique spot for a coaster.
This has to be th most obscure credit but you still got it
It wasn't too far for me, so this one wasn't as tricky as some others. This one will be a royal pain for anyone who isn't within driving distance.
I hope this gets relocated after the exhibit and will get steel supports or so for parks
I hope!
Love how there's no up stop wheels most important wow
It's fixed to the track though.
this coaster is awesome indoor rides are so fun!! but as a not abstract art person his paintings seem.. well I think a 5 year old could do some of them but I guess its "art"
dude, a 5 year old? nope
Indoor ones are fun.
every time someone says "my child could have done this" about art I ask "well why the fuck haven't they?"
yeah you're right on the top speed being bullshit, ignoring any friction or air resistance and assuming perfect conversation from gravitational energy to kinetic energy, you get the velocity at the bottom of the drop being:
v = √(2gh) where g is the constant for gravitational strength (~9.81N) and h is the height of the drop (3.658m)
this gives us a velocity of ~8.5m/s which is around 19 mph, so someone has just made something up lmao
I get you are pushed over the edge, but not fast enough to gain that extra speed.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah the push will literally just make up for the friction and air resistance
Bocchi the Roller Coaster
An odd ride.
Maybe they can make first drop taller to gain enough momentum to make a full circuit or have a chain lift that will pull the train back up once it reaches the last hill.
Some drive tires may be possible too.
They should install it outside the museum.
I hope it gets relocated after.
I want to take a more intresting approach on looking at this coaster.
Even though it's gonna close down soon, as a person with heavy clapping anxiety, the fact that a whole freaking museum crowd is watching you in slience until the ride ends (and your alone!) would send me into a straight panic. This one's a huge no no and even though tall coasters scare the crap out me, I would rather ride Intimadator 300 at Carrowinds any day over this because of the buildup and ending alone.
It seems like an intresting credit, but it's just not for me.
That's a fair way to look at it.
The up speech kills it for me
Sorry about that!
amazing
Very cool
Looks fun
It is.
I would ride it!, just to be in a coaster in a museum.
It's definitely unique.
Do you think mass moca will ever have something like this again(or any museum for that matter)?
The Boston Science Museum had a rideable pendulum amusement ride when I was a kid that went upside-down. So I could see some wacky flats.
I thought this thing was a prototype at Skyline's factory. Guess I was wrong 🤣
I'm glad it saw the light of day.
You’re from Mass as well. That’s amazing. what part?
Eastern
@@CanobieCoaster
Same
RMC prelift: the ride
Pretty much.
man i really have seen everything
It's certainly unique.
Going!
Enjoy!
Brava, brava !
Yes
@@CanobieCoaster I got super emotional for a moment with the way you mentioned folks are encourage to clap etc. Then I remembered at work we do that in meetings once in a blue when someone walks in after a long week lol
Cred's a cred
A unique credit.
Neat!
Sure is.
Seems like a cool experience. I'm 2 hours away but as you were mentioning I would only visit the area to pair it up with other places nearby
Makes sense.
Perhaps the lowest-capacity coaster that has ever been in any way open to the public--on purpose!
I don't know if I'll ever get to ride this, but I'll probably spectate it sooner or later. I love coasters, art and Mass MoCA in particular, so, yeah...
Makes sense!
so cool
Yes
you know what, at first I thought this thing was stupid but you've convinced me otherwise.
It's quite unique.
A rollercoaster that cannot complete its own track......now that's art
It's definitely different.
Pretty sure cai guo qiang made a roller coaster in a gallery in the 2000’s
I'll have to look that up.
@@CanobieCoaster part of the Relational Art movement of the 90’s and 2000’s initiating public response to the artworks
Probably too far for me, but if this ever ended up in MoMA or the Franklin Institute ...
Fair!
Did you say pah-sketti bowl?
Yes, the manufacturer calls the model the p'sghetti bowl.
So are you able to remove the second take on the verdicts third point, as well? 🤔 🙋🏻♂️
Yes, thanks for pointing that out.
I measure the quality of an art piece by how well i can ride it.
Lol
how did you make a 12 minute video on a tiny museum coaster
There are a lot of weird things to say about it.
It seems strange to me to go with a single rail to represent backyard rollercoasters, especially considering most are either fully metal / steel or wooden.
It's an eye-catching choice.
@@CanobieCoaster That’s definitely true.
As most contemporary art it dosen't look as a very significant experience for me, but to everyone each own. Personally, I'd rather go on an intense roller coaster in a park and question whether it's art and why.
That's fair.
If you were younger then 15 how would you recommend to get a ride?
Unfortunately, I don't think you can.
Lol how the hell did they come up with that max speed. The max speed you could possibly have with a drop of 3.5m is nearly 35kph, that would assume you would be in a free fall and have 0 friction at all.
Did the same calculations and got the same results. Maybe they turned any kind of friction off when doing their calculations. Maybe they assumed the car would make it back to the station, as well 😜
@@UwePieper maybe they assumed they had top thrill dragsters launch on it as well 😂
I'm not sure. Probably for marketing?
if only it actually looked good
It's fine for what it is.
Add a launch to the end of the coaster to make it back up
That would be one way to do it.
This or El Toro? Be honest!
Daddy Pig
im sad i cant ride this since by the time it closes it will be right before my 15th birthday lol
That's sad!
Don’t get why they couldn’t build a lift hill
Art?
First RMC T Rex 🤭
Lol
I wasn't interested till I heard only 1800 ppl will ever have the credit
It's definitely an exclusive one.
Welp, I guess I will never be able to ride this coaster 😢
Dang!
So sad I had to give up my reservation today 😢
Due to the weather?
@@CanobieCoaster That and too many people called out of my office so I couldn’t get away earlier. I was so bummed, but glad I was able to let the museum know in time for someone else to snag a last minute ride. My loss was their gain at least!
surprised rcdb counts this as a coaster
It has track, rolls, and coasts.
Someone should bring a speed thing on this to show how fast you actually go
Can phones measure that in your pocket?
I always wondered what a coaster would be like without engineers involved. Now I know.
Skyline did engineer it.
I’d love to get this credit, but I’m not 15. To be honest, making it so the average person of the minimum requirement has difficulty fitting in the car seems like it could be easily avoided and makes it pretty inaccessible if you’re tall at all
It's shocking to have an age limit that high.
12:02 you totally valleyed didn't you?
That wasn't me, but yes that rider valleyed and had to be pushed down.
@@CanobieCoaster hilarious that a ride with no electronics can have technical difficulties
Someone could make this in their backyard
Yes
Someone needs to recreate this for later usage
The owner wants it to live on once the exhibit ends.
I can ride the worlds tallest rollercoaster alone but I can’t ride brava 💀
Wow!
