How Does a Mad House in a Theme Park Work? 🙃 | Backstage Footage in Bellewaerde!

🔺The full Dutch version of this video can be found here: • Hoe Werkt een Villa Vo...
🔺We all know the Villa Volta in the Efteling, the first real Mad House in an amusement park ever! But how exactly does it work? Built by Vekoma and co-devised by the Efteling, this attraction gives you the feeling of going upside down, while you actually don't. The biggest illusion in the theme park industry? In Bellewaerde they have come up with a very special version of this attraction, which is themed after one of the most famous illusionists Houdini! In this Theme Park Science, together with Kobe Van Herwegen, we dive deeper into the mysterious world of illusions and Houdini. Together we unmask the secret of the Mad House ¡!

[@Silvarret]

I never knew about the secret escape hatches hidden in the decors of madhouses! Thanks for the insights guys, every time I get more nerd facts I can annoy my non-theme park friends with when we inevitably end up in a theme park again :)

[@dorkyska]

People either care or they don't. I'm like you; I want to know every fact.

[@jaredlanglitz5651]

That makes sense, the first time I saw a Madhouse video I thought everyone was actually upside down.

[@KingdaToro]

I've operated the one at Six Flags Great Adventure, it's even got the same name and theming as this one.

[@CrazyManhog]

They really need to work in themeing the park is so boring without any themeing

[@allst4rm3]

Is it ever going to reopen?

[@m3gad3th_]

@@allst4rm3in fact it had reopened, I was really excited to go but I had never went because the ride had a technical issue

[@tauruschorus]

Knew I had been in there (in US)

[@screamindog8772]

these videos are so informational and well assembled, super underrated

[@jsaiahh]

I went to one of these today at 6 flags and i was so confused how it worked so ty for showing me

[@LiToCoasterCouple]

What a great video! Those gopro mounted shots on the drum are also a nice touch! Keep it up guys 👍🏻

[@CoasterStats]

Wonderful work as always. The use of the 3D models is exceptional!

[@SANITIZEDINC]

LOVE this channel!

[@RobertTheHaunter]

Fantastic video! Next time you do a episode on a theatrical ride like this can you please cover the show control system some more?

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Great idea!

[@maddie107]

I’ve been on the Haunted House Monster Party ride at Legoland Windsor and really wanted to know how it worked - thanks so much! Brilliantly clever ride and so convincing 😂

[@wavymusic5572]

This vid is amazing… thanks

[@R_M2603]

1/4 of the way to 100k🔥

[@lauravanderweel6996]

Super video👍👍

[@DanCastDanny]

Now i know the secrets of all the rides like this

[@angelwitch06]

Een exacte kopie van Villa Volta in de Efteling! Op de "aankleding" na natuurlijk...

[@Casketkrusher_]

Ja, het werkt, komt realistich over, denk dat dit ook makkelijk is aan onderhoud, waarom niet? Andere aankleding, dat wel natuulijk.

[@MrDjmj]

Blijft een mooi stuk techniek

[@yohan3353]

You're the NatGeo of theme parks, I love it

[@StrawberrySunday212]

That is like a travelling fair ride we had here in the 70s/80s called the Rib Tickler. the drum was spun manually by the ride operator around while the chairs rocked back n forth....made many a rider vomit 🤣🤣

[@teesimone2018]

I got on this same ride at Six Flags Great adventure in New Jersey! It was creepy and cool Af!! I love Houdini

[@Jerhevon]

And I love the Houdini's Great Escape up in Six Flags New England. If anything I'm surprised that the set dressing of the room, and especially the pre-show is all the same. Though our benches distinctly do not have the metal cagework at the top.

[@williamhatfield1094]

Hex at Alton towers is one of the best madhouses

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

That's true!

[@Hellwyck]

Impossible at Blackpool Pleasure Beach has a fantastic Haunted Swing.

[@williamhatfield1094]

@@Hellwyck the ride at impossible is a bit outdated tho, mechanical wise. And the theme basically is non-existent. Hex tells a story of good and evil, the ride is really just the cherry on top. Plus, the cue and ride sound track is custom orchestrated for the ride. Impossible, I'm not sure actually. Sounds like generic music in the background tho

[@CrazyManhog]

Great Adventure really needs to work on themeing

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Yeah indeed 😂

[@jessicas294]

Went on it yesterday thought I was tipping upside down was. Scared😅

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

haha it's really stange indeed!

[@EllumenaticYT]

i like t he one in walibi more with more decoration

[@AG7-MTM]

I especially love how the MadHouse can tell a story (one of the coolest is HEX at Alton Towers). Unfortunately, I don't think one exists in North America

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Well there is one!

[@TT3Dxyz]

@@ThemeParkScienceOfficialTwo! One at Six Flags Great Adventure and one at Six Flags New England! The SFGA one is slightly better as it has a crystal ball with a projection of Houdini in it, but other than that they are almost identical.

[@Dutch_fellow]

When I went on this one, my body and mind didn't like it. The illusion is that strong

[@BarryGGould]

is this the same as the houdini at six flags great adventure in nj?

[@ThemeParkScienceOfficial]

Yes

[@BarryGGould]

@Theme Park Science awesome thanks. its a fun experience 👍👍

[@99Davidcool]

Houdini had escape hatches!?!? Liar!

[@DaveFlash]

deze had ik toch al gezien?

[@leg0n3y]

Ja maar deze is nog eens in het engels
