Here you can find videos with factual and unbiased coverage of ride accidents new and old. My ride accident videos do not focus on the drama or the injuries, instead they focus on what went wrong and why. You will also find videos covering publicized ride incidents removing much of the drama associated with them. I also create videos about interesting ride and amusement industry facts, including videos about the undeserved traveling rides industry.

The News LIES About Ride Accidents - Theme Park Nonsense
Переглядів 66 тис.2 місяці тому
The source most people use when discussing ride accidents are news articles or videos. This seems like a great source on the surface, but unfortunately all too often news agencies get things wrong, fail to explain information, or flat out misrepresent ride accidents. Today we'll be looking at 4 examples of just that from the last 10 years. Submit videos to be reacted to: forms.gle/oZugyt327Xxn6...

What NOT to do When Stuck on a Roller Coaster - Theme Park Nonsense
Ayyy Riverside ... yeah I remember this one... the real terrifying coaster was the one over at Mt. park.. I rode it when I was super young, right before the park closed, I thought we were going of the rails any second for the whole ride.. sooo rickety
Tried the one at adventure dome in vegas a few years ago and i was hooked instantly ive done the one at Hershey Park, Carowinds and the one in Pigeon Forge.
We have one at Playland in Vancouver and it's the world's best flat ride. There are MANY programs of setting the parks/operators can use depending on crowds too. The "extreme" setting is max swings forever (at least it feels like forever); which happened to me once on an empty day in 2018.
Good to know when i rode Delirium last year for the first time its the OG huss giant frisbee. And on the Zamperla note i love the endeavour after riding Sol Spin at Kings Island
I rode The Beast at the Gold Coast show and the Brisbane Ekka. Any pendulum ride scares the hell out of me but I’m drawn to ride them like a moth to a flame.
There has been an new fabbri contact delivered to sweden in 2022, the ride type is not discontinued, just not sold very often. You could have mentioned the AK rides gforce also. This is a slovkian copy of the heavy rotation. The first one is traveling in germany named "Project X" Funny enough, there have been delivered both a AK rides and a Technical Park model just this week. 😅
that thing looks crazy when it's standing itself up. like some sort of giant preying mantis
Many mistakes in this video 🤔 there are a lot more than 7 examples (somebody else already entered a list as a comment) and at least 2 park models both with 2 outward facing seats. Both named The Beast and one looks a lot like the australian one because it has the same paintings. Also there are several ordered the last few years. KMG existed from the early 90's (the first tropical trip was build in 1987 and ishe kroon founded kmg not long after that because there was a huge demand for tropical trip rides.) The first xxl was in 2006 so the company already had a 15+ year lifespan at that point. The first xxl was first run by the kroon family themselves as several of the prototypes did. Please do your research properly...
I do apologize about the missed rides but no where in this video did I claim that this ride was the start of KMG.
I thought that The Kraken XXL was traveling with RCS (Ray Cammack Shows)?
Always the hot girls who ride the Slingshots
Manning and Thurston's UK owned XXL which is currently at the Hoppings should be mentioned
Did you use Subnautica Below Zero music for the background?
Jesus.. this is so stupid how easily preventable this was. Also $250k fine to the state of florida? What about the family.. They should receive millions.
Oh no
Oh no
The only time i see these crazy rides are in Neede at KMG
1:06 Oh, my god!
we also have an XXL in the UK, owned by Thurstons (used to be owned by mannings too) it goes to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park
I'm so glad I went on one of these BEFORE seeing this video. I was terrified I was going to slip out of the harness because I'm so thin. Never going on that ride again.
A little disclaimer here to those HIGHLY sensitive to motion sickness. This would be better listened to audio wise than watching it due to a lot of first person type of spinning imagery. You will have an increased risk of motion sickness being triggered. Note: coming from someone who falls into this category themselves but still enjoys the content.
I love flat ride Friday favorite day of the week
The SkyFly at Nick U MOA has the added element of near missing walls & the ceiling
The Iconic Midway XXL finallly is touring and is called Kraken.
Ever since the XXL models are on our german fairs, I think the smaller pendelum rides like the Freak Outs or Afterburners. The sustained airtime is just so nice. I've ridden every german one right now, and I love all of them. Probably one of my favorite rides to film and to ride. Btw if you need any footage from my channel (german fair flat rides) just let me know under the vid. I'm happy to share if it helps you.
most of the accidents?????????
You have one thing wrong. Kroon, the owner of KMG, travelled with the prototype XXL. The owners of KMG are showmans theirself, and have taken their prototype rides to the fairs themselves to proof their concept. Also a new KMG XXL is going to Germany and one to The Netherlands-Germany in 2025.
Still looking for a round up around where I live (Netherlands). I had the chance to ride one as a little kid but I was too small, the showman never returned.
Thanks for the passion project!
they are fun, but don't really do much. i like the positives and speed, however the hangtime is not that good, especially after riding a kmg inversion xxl
ive been on every single one exhept the mini loop fighter. in general id say the bigger the higher the forces but less jerky/intense. Infinity is awsome, hanging upside down that high is a really cool feeling The inversion 12s are amall but pack quite a punch if you get a good cyle The loop fighter is a bit less comfortable than the inversion 12 but just as intense if not more since they can unlock and lock the gondolas at every part of the swing and tend to it more often than the inversion 12s The fabri inversion is inbetween the loopfigher/inversion 12 and the inversion 24. doing a full roation while inverted is really cool. i love all of them and they all have their qualities and shortcomings
As far as I know there are these: 1 XXL Best Exclusive 🇩🇪 2 XXL Apres Ski 🇫🇷 3 XXL Manning 🇬🇧 4 The Beast (fixed) 🇺🇸 5 Beast (fixed) 🇨🇦 6 The Beast 🇦🇺 7 Konga 🇩🇪 8 XXL Monster Hohenrausch 🇩🇪 9 XXL Dotremont 🇧🇪 10 Excalibur 🇩🇪 11 Kraken 🇺🇸
Germany has another one. XXL Höhenrausch by showman goetzke. I think another one is coming.
@@Fox_on_a_Rollercoaster so there are 11, only in Germany there are 4 so 🤣, isn't the one you mentioned called Monster?
@@JVCOSTA that was the original name, it was removed after a restyle.
There is an XXL in the uk
Clayton mannings I believe
I've done 2 of these rides and they are awesome. Very intense and some good Airtime.
The Beast in Myrtle Beach is the only one of this pendulum flat ride I’ve ridden and it’s actually quite terrifying riding it at night it’s amazing though my favorite at the Pavilion Park at Broadway at the Beach
I wanted to ride it a few years ago, but I think they wanted $20 per person for one ride on it, I, unfortunately had to pass on it as it was a little too expensive for me at the time.
Nahhhhh I’m saying I broke my neck my legs everything thing hurt I need money😂
Lawsuit
Must have been quite shocking for the riders. On the plus side, the ball they were in acted like a roll cage. The only injury I can see is to their nerves from the shock.
My question is, where are the redundancies? No extra seatbelt? This seems more like a design flaw than anything
the gear spin at carowinds is super fun!
I pinched my penis very severely on the restraints for this ride.
Ride enthusiast here : this is why I NEVER ride carnival rides
my teachers cousin was on the same ride when it happened bru.
The person who manufactured Tagada on a high production scale was FarFabbri during the 80s and 90s, it is the real Tagada, Technical Park does not produce Tagadá, the one on the website is made at Emiliana Luna Park, which in the 90s launched Tagadisco, a version more compact and modern than Tagada, which was a success in Latin America.
Is it true that only 5 were built? very little for a ride with that much time in the catalogue. 1 Reactor 2 MR Gravity 3 Disco Loco 4 Magia (fixed) 5 Tropical Storm (fixed)
There is one newly delivered just this week in Germany called Mythos 😅
@@Pobreshcom Do you have a photo or video or something on the web?
damn ive ridden this before
I wish the usa had one on an amusement circuit. They look intense
Who else is here after hearing about the man getting struck by Banshee?
I was on vacation and my big sister and her went on this ride together, I’m glad that did not happen to my sister and her friend
Actually broke safely.
