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...

    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.

    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. 😅

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @charleslegrerg3641
    @charleslegrerg3641 День тому

    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
