Planned but Never Built: 10 Cancelled Theme Park Rides

[@jamesgriffiths3031]

Coaster Dad, if this is your last upload before christmas, Merry Christmas and thank you for such a great year of your ideas, reviews and vlogs!

[@coaster_dad]

Thanks James 😀 I’m hoping to keep up the normal Thursday/Sunday schedule so hopefully there will be one out this weekend and then Boxing Day will be my Paris vlog. I hope you have a great Christmas mate and thank you for your support, it means a lot 🙏

Great Video Chris. Loved it 😊.

[@coaster_dad]

Thank you 😀

[@alanscott-z1p]

Keep doing the crazy lists Chris, much appreciated 😊

[@coaster_dad]

Ha ha I’ve got more coming 😉

The Bigger One was going to be utterly insane, an vertical inversion and upside down loop (not sure of the right terminology) out at sea if i remember? There were two mockups to my knowledge, one from a magazine and one from somewhere else. Also West Midlands Safari Park has had some interesting patents behind closed doors IIRC, but lack of funding has killed that park in my opinion - at least the shitters are very nice.

thanks so much

[@coaster_dad]

You’re welcome mate. Hope you enjoyed 😀

Flamingo land had planned to build a wooden coaster

[@coaster_dad]

Indeed. There’s so many more that I could have covered 😀

[@joshomasprime2474]

@ and alton towers the cross valley wooden coaster

[@chrissharratt8042]

I think the unprecedented heights quote is actually the launch pad as many news outlets have used the same phrase when advertising recently. Hoping I’m wrong though!

[@coaster_dad]

Yeah I hope so. It’s not really “new” heights. Different if the extended it upwards 🙈

[@similarart1074]

Im here for the adverts 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@coaster_dad]

😂

[@Ste_vengeance]

What is the one unbuilt ride that you personally wish had seen the light of day? Cross valley wooden coaster at alton towers for me.

[@coaster_dad]

That would have been a good one for sure. I’d say that or the bigger one

[@whatsahellhell]

I'd love to know what those markings opposite the pleasure beach actually are

[@coaster_dad]

Me too!

[@nataliebutton7344]

Have you changed camera? It’s a lot brighter and more HD

[@coaster_dad]

Yeah go pro is fine in a park. But I got a new iPhone 16 for filming at home. It’s literally night and day!

[@nataliebutton7344]

Ong this is an iPhone camera?! Wow!

[@King_Dom92]

Is there a way to switch it to none HDR because it looks weird on all my screens. It's like the saturation levels are off like it's got a weird filter on like when you stand too close to a big screen TV. Almost like CGI rather than a real person. Very much whited out so possibly brightness is too high? All the cutaways and images are fine but the footage of Chris looks also whited out like either too much saturation or brightness

[@coaster_dad]

@King_Dom92 mmmm weird. I had the opposite problem where I couldn’t see it in HDR and it was the browser I was using. I know you can change resolution but not sure if you can switch to SDR. KZbin claims it’s processed to SDR so it’s there 🤔

[@clareriley]

The bigger one would have been amazing BUT as those types are now gone, it wouldnt have been a long term positive. I still think BP have the room and the government yes to really expand.... but we will see xxx

[@coaster_dad]

Here’s hoping 🤞
