PURE THRILLS: The most spectacular roller coaster in Europe is being built

One of the most modern and extreme rollercoaster in the world is being built in Waldkirch in the Black Forest for the Belgian amusement park Plopsaland De Panne. Here, the cars rotate horizontally on a vertical axis. The complex ride requires 723 tons of material to be welded, transported and finally assembled on site - a logistical tour de force. For this, 98 track sections are created in a so-called truss structure, some of which are manufactured by hand.

We traveled all the way from Arkansas in the USA. And I will say, out of 310 different roller coasters… this is legit the best in the world I’ve ever been on.

[@debracarter9935]

SO SO SO interesting!! I rode Time Traveler (Silver Dollar City) 5 times in a row and the whole dang time all I could think about (as I do on all roller coasters) was, "WOW! Someone DESIGNED AND BUILT this engineering marvel to run safely, smoothly and carry THOUSANDS of passengers daily! I feel a small tinge of guilt as I am thoroughly enjoying the fruits of their labor and don't want to take it for granted." Thank you, to the men and women who work so hard just so the rest of us can enjoy a 90 second ride! You are so talented and I can tell you are proud of your craft - as you should be. ❤ I think I can speak on behalf of all coaster enthusiasts that we truly, truly appreciate your hours and hours of hard work and thank God for you!

[@jakegiossi7447]

I’ve waited 25 years for a Coaster documentary like this. Amazing work! Would have been really cool to see the very first pull-through test of the train once it was placed on the track though. Excellent work!

[@kielcoignau7213]

Pull through test did not happen on this ride. Only the final brake section they cheked the clearence. Because of the storage building

[@halcyondaystunes]

Not all coasters require a pull through

[@tanmysammy6295]

Salute to the engineering behind all this project (s) always learning something new on welt documentaries ,much love🇰🇪

[@HMFan2010]

It must be an indescribable feeling to ride on something with the full knowledge that YOU were the one responsible for its conception. Everything about this ride is so well designed. I hope we might get something like this sometime soon in the United States. Kudos to you, Welt, for such an exceptional product!

[@roger0929]

Umm... Time Traveller??!!??!?!?

[@HMFan2010]

@@roger0929 Thanks, I wasn't aware that we had one of these in the U.S.! I'll have to make it out to Silver Dollar City sometime soon.

[@Posirep]

​@HMFan2010 Yeah. Time Traveler was the prototype. RTH is like the fully realized potential of the ride. Only 2 in the world right now.

[@IroAppe]

Have you seen the interview of Coaster Studios of the designers of RTH? They really didn't expect that it would turn out like "that". Riding it for the first time really was a surprise, and they said, that they thought they were at the limits of a spinning coaster like that, but now they know, that they can push it further. That's why the waggons have a magnet brake in the base, because they wanted to keep control, to dial the extremeness in, in case that it would be too heavy, because they really didn't know how it would turn out. But now it runs with the brakes turned off, the magnet only is used for a gentle push at the beginning, but then not anymore.

[@Rollercoastermadness24]

My engineering teacher put this video on for me because he knew I love roller coasters 😊

[@Cr4ZyCaptain]

i hope there doing one for hyperia at thorpe park

[@kevinpetit3869]

Amazing ride, so far I've ridden it 39 times (once 10 rides back-to-back). It's an amazing ride, but it can be very intensive or just boring, depending on the ride. It is however an amazing ride, but I'm still not sure if it was the right choice for Plopsaland (seeing that it is mostly a children-oriented park, the only other real coasters of note are Heidi the Ride and Anubis the Ride).

[@dimon22g]

this coaster alone makes the park worth visiting

[@IroAppe]

Yes, that's the thing. We all would like a park with RTH, Taron, F.L.Y, DC Rivals, Hyperion, Shambhala, Schwur des Kärnan, Wildfire and so on in it. Ideally all with the theming level of Europa Park and Phantasialand. But every park gets a good ride here and there, so you got to travel around to see them all.

[@gerry343]

I'm surprised they don't have a safety tether on the impact wrench.

[@F.Castle93]

Impact drill? Lol have a buddy who calls his drill a screw gun. Just funny to see the different names people say for a drill.

[@gerry343]

@@F.Castle93 I am referring to the power tool used for tightening the bolts at 12:12 (For me, a drill is used to bore holes.) Whatever you call it, this is still a heavy tool which, if dropped, could seriously injure anyone below.

[@roger0929]

@@F.Castle93 No it's an impact wrench. And most modern hand drills can double as a screw gun when a screw bit is used.

[@roger0929]

Well, they are Polish!

[@PostTraumaticChessDisorder]

A safety tether is a small yet effective way of increasing safety. I was always thought to be well aware of my surroundings and not to walk underneath people who are working, period. In general, they're called impact tools if I'm not mistaken. I'd sure like to know how much torque is applied and wether they use a torque wrench to accurately control the torque applied

[@pokemonfanwsbgalt8574]

The most spectacular was already built 28 years ago by John Wardley. See you soon Nemesis.

This coaster is manufactured by mack rides.... Silver dollar city just put one in called Time Travelor... It is an amazing coaster.

[@Rollercoastermadness24]

I love the way they built this😂❤

[@coasterblocks3420]

I guess something went seriously wrong with the bending when they made Steel Taipan at Dreamworld then - less than a year old, shudders like crazy and somewhat rough transitions.

[@frankorandle]

The ground it was built on is haunted by those killed there 6 years ago.

[@NickyD]

thats because thats a intmain not a mack from this company

@@NickyD Steel Taipan is a Mack.

Could be the land itself. King's Island is notorious for its somewhat shaky coasters. Grunted 3 of them ar B&Ms which are typically smooth, its weird. People speculate its simply the ground King's Island sits on.

[@itsseriousarc8429]

no

[@NathanHydra]

He’s saying the exact opposite, he’s saying the chance of a restraint failing is as nigh to impossible as it can be, as it has 3 safety systems that are all highly unlikely to fail which can all keep the restraint closed on their own.

See rollercoasters in Energylandia in Poland. Much larger park, More coasters, Zadra (made of wood), Mayan, Hyperion (around 150km/h speed)....and much much more. Been there, will be back, as one day is not enough to see and try even 1/3 of the park. Top notch, world class. Whole family want to see it again, I'm scared some of the coasters.

[@Annie-nc1lq]

Please stop comparing these parks. Every theme park owner has a vision of their own park. It doesn't need tons of high-speed roller coasters to be fun FFS.

[@n2l2l]

@@Annie-nc1lq not comparing, been there. And honestly, scoasters are only a part of it. My son loved magic, fire, car/truck/moto drifting, 4D cinema shows more than coasters. Me too honestly as I was there for the first time, never been on coaster and was so scared that I've started for kid's sized ;) Anyway, people speaking for their experiences. I had this one.

[@BassheadMusicConnoisseur]

Been there mate, when the Hyperion was in the building stages, I loved it there, too bad I can't visit Poland anymore due to responsibilities

[@Kittyhat]

Ride to Happiness shits on anything at that trash ass, bootleg, government funded Magic Mountain

[@thomaswijgerse723]

Yeah i've been there, zadra hyperion and abyssus are world class, but the lineup is a bit so-so imho. Theres some.of the best in the world, and then 12 kiddie rides, of which a lot are clones and unneccesarily have 3 the same ones in ond park. 3 vekoma junior coasters, 2 junior boomerangs, etc. And the old part of the park still feels a bit like a fair, but the newer sections start to look like a true full fledged theme park

[@northwestmechanic8991]

Nothing is happening in "live chat" it's just another video. That's twice now I have fallen for this crap.

[@crooked-halo]

Way too much hype for a custom Mack Spinning coaster! "Europe's most spectacular," right.

[@user-ve7hn2dh8h]

Lol actually there are tons of coaster enthusiasts from the US who rate this their no 1 coaster in the world.. So no you couldn't be more wrong

[@user-ve7hn2dh8h]

It's also the only ride in europe of its kind and only one of two world wide so your comment is even dumber

[@JosiahG17]

So time traveler clone

[@verybighomer]

Similar as it is the same model (Xtreme Spinning Coaster), but not cloned. Ride To Happiness is faster and has two more inversions.

[@ICU306]

Same model, it’s not a clone. The layout is completely different….

[@user-ve7hn2dh8h]

Way crazier.. Not a clone at all

[@EvilWorldOfGreed-do1ox]

Of course the park operator wants the ride open as soon as possible to make greed happen. So a roller coaster costing 17.5 million euros, the cars alone costing 6 million euros. Only 20 workers assembling the entire track system with help fro AI robots, Polish workers assemble the track on site to reduce costs. Some how tax evasion is playing a huge part in the construction, all that steel, construction work, ground work, magnetic launch system, so many cables and electronics, machinery etc. No way all this work only costs 11.5 million euros. Safety and schedules do not mix well, greed is all that matters to these mega projects around the world.

[@neom0nk]

So many things in this doc make me not want to ride the coaster... The part where they're like "the labels are missing so we just presume it goes together this way" made me question if this was even a doc or a troll video.

[@diamondjplayer5599]

Bro people treat roller coasters like the boogie man, you got a whole documentary showing you the extensive engineering and safety that goes into constructing this ride and you ignore all of that. We live in world where people drive in metal death boxes that can hydroplane, breaks fail, or the drivers a drunk! Have more faith in the engineers who keep the roof above your head from falling.

[@Posirep]

Mack is a company thats been around since the 1750s and has some of the best safety records among ride manufacturers....Not to mention, they own and operate their own park, Europa Park. They clearly had a failsafe for the non-marking with the number branded into the support with the proper orientation

[@user-ve7hn2dh8h]

He literally said they are marked from the factory and you can just read it

I will never understand why so many people think thrill is a good thing. Without exception, traumatising them yields anger rather than thanks for the thrill. Humans are exhausting.

[@TB_2006]

I ride rollercoasters all the time, and I'm never 'traumatized' by them. For roller coaster 'enthusiasts' like me, riding these thrilling rides is one of the most fun and enjoyable activities to do. On the best coasters we'll try to ride them as many times as possible. I'm not sure where the idea that people will feel anger after riding these rides comes from.

[@nashwagemakers]

Adrenaline is why

[@hsc894]

And I will never understand why people like you live a very boring life with zero thrill.

[@thomaswijgerse723]

Because you are talking nonsense. Who on earth gets angry after a coaster? What you feel after riding it, and what makes people love them, is adrenaline. Its a chemical that releases in your body and, well, it makes you feel alive somehow. If you've ridden a truly good coaster you'll just come off giggling and amazed, which is fun. Also the sensation airtime, laterals and positive gs is really fun

[@uu9rj]

As a theme park and rollercoaster enthusiast, I have literally never heard someone get off of a ride angry, 99% of people are laughing and enjoying themselves, I have absolutely no clue where or how you got this impression other than fabricating it out of thin air simply to be a contrarian.
