Reaper, Drop Ride to Doom - Amsterdam Dungeon (Lights On)

Reaper, Drop Ride to Doom was an indoor Mack e-Motion coaster that operated at Amsterdam Dungeon from 2005 to 2014. The ECC visited in 2007 where we got the chance to ride it in the dark, and then film the ride and POV with all the lights on. It was a fun ride with an elevator lift-hill, which is quite rare on roller coasters. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks for uploading! Now I get to see what it actually looks like. I rode this in 2007 and thought the coaster was going to be longer for some reason. One of my friends said it best, "The longest pre-show for the shortest coaster."Ha ha.

[@ukridesinfo]

I applaud the fact they tried a coaster in such a small but wonderful setting, can see why it didn't last though!

[@davidjellis]

Agreed! It was certainly a unique place to have a coaster!

[@davidjellis]

There is only one operational - the one in Helsinki (which I have also ridden) - this one was removed, and no information I can find on current location or if scrapped.

[@schagerbaantje]

davidjellis it's not scrapped ;) it's bought by an Dutch invester who buys second hand rides to fix them up and sell again or sometimes use it in small parks he builds. right now he is busy making 'Attractie Park Rotterdam'. they have vlogs on KZbin about the build of that park and in 1 of the vlogs you can see reaper standing (almost) fully assembled outside. only parts missing are the lift and the turn table, tho I think they left those out on purpose

[@davidjellis]

That's great news - many thanks for the update!

[@olmisery3859]

For reference, the video referred to is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGixYmiEqb2Fea8 And the coaster can be seen at around 0:41 and at around 0:59 into the video.

[@Merthjen]

For the people wondering why its gone now: Im an actrice at this dungeon and my collegues have told me it was too much of a hassle. It allowed smaller groups in the dungeon and caused a lot of wait, which sometimes caused a jam and messed up the flow for the actors aswell. Edit: it also allowed more space for other shows

[@ZeacorZeppelin]

Pretty neat

[@stuartblyth2510]

I've been to Amsterdam Dungeons 3 times, once in 2010 and twice in 2011. I absolutely loved this little coaster. I always thought it was quite intense for what it was

[@psyclonesteve]

Very Nice !

[@HansvanderVeen]

I have been there a several times (lived in Amsterdam) I never saw a Rollercoaster! They must have expanded the building somehow.

[@davidjellis]

It was there 2005 to 2014 - so not sure why you never saw it?

[@ivanjose200]

They didn't expand, it was inside the Church

[@mikekaraoke]

How on earth didn't you see it advertised?? Where you living on a desert island?

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

I am working on a video about roller coasters in unlikely locations. I am interested in using the footage in it, and since it will be monetized, I would like to ask if I could financially compensate you for this footage's usage. I will also give full credit to you in the video.

[@davidjellis]

Hi, as per your similar enquiry a few weeks ago about Tornado at M&Ds, I would have no objection at all but you will need to seek permission of my channel network owner (Brave Bison) for any usage rights request, as they handle any licensing requests for my videos. Just drop an email to [e-mail] with details of the video and see what they say.

[@schagerbaantje]

Are you still working on the video? Cause if you like, I can give you quote some info about the ride and some details around the location which aren't commenly known

[@christiandiaz3410]

I heard that the ride was removed from 2014 and will not reopen. Oh I wish the ride will reopen and come back.

[@Will-rw5sg]

probably one of mack's weirdest coasters

[@MaloneysCoasters]

Hello! Could I use this footage in an upcoming video? I would give full credit and link your channel in the description :)

[@davidjellis]

That should be fine...technically I would normally need to check with my MCN (Brave Bison)...but as they only tend to monitor use of my most viewed videos, any third party use of this one (with just 89k views) is unlikely to be claimed by them. Please credit David Ellis and provide a link to the channel. Cheers.

[@themeparkreel]

seemed like not a bad little ride! shame they took it out!

[@davidjellis]

Indeed - it wasn't until I was uploading the video did I realise the ride has been removed...was a unique coaster so a shame it has now gone.

[@MaxPenford]

Wait... One drop?

[@Beethoven1111]

Just one drop?

[@Minutewave]

The organ midi 🤤

[@sampower1735]

Is this what is now the gallow fields?

[@davidjellis]

I don't know - I haven't visited since recording the video

[@MiNombreEsElCamaron]

Do any other dungeons in Europe have similar rides?

[@davidjellis]

Many of the Dungeons have some sort of ride / attraction (usually at the end of the experience) although pretty sure none of the others featured a roller coaster.

[@15heston]

I know of the Blackpool one has a small drop tower at the end!!!

[@CamGold]

lots of the dungeons have mini indoor drop towers at the end

[@loonytunescrazy]

@@CamGold and a boat ride

[@Hethdesignsparks]

Does anyone happen to know why this was removed?

[@davidjellis]

Sorry - I don't know. It's a shame as it was a cool ride in a fun location

[@Hethdesignsparks]

It was definitely a shame, as it's still an interesting looking ride.

[@dylanmarkus5380]

The ride was considered anti-climactic; the Amsterdam Dungeon has gone ahead amd changed up the entire space by putting new shows in place of the old rollercoaster. They were running out of space, so this was the perfect location to expand the actual Dungeon

[@davidjellis]

Thank you for the update - very helpful :)

[@TheCheesyGamer38]

The maintenance costs were too high

[@CoasterNerd]

Very strange ride...

[@JoshB333]

Some rides shouldn't be made..

[@davidjellis]

so what's wrong with this one?

[@riparianlife97701]

Not many riders per hour.

[@davidjellis]

Probably not

[@schagerbaantje]

To be fair, it had a separate loading and unloading station. Fun Fact: the loading station was the elevator track in the middle! It had 3 Heights it stopped, at the bottem so the train could get on from the unload, than in the middle so guests could load on and then to the top for the ride start. Quite clever made in my eyes

[@FDL1992]

Jammer dat ze de achtbaan nu niet meer hebben.

[@craigcoopertowers]

good idea but not executed the correct way. it would be better to have a proper drop ride in there you would getr alot more people through and you caould have alot more people on the ride at once

[@davidjellis]

I don't think the building was big enough for a full size drop ride

[@Adam-bi3qb]

Well that was fucking dreadful

[@davidjellis]

In what way?

[@ncavlleguy]

I rode this and was disappointed. Boring!

[@davidjellis]

I think it was pretty decent given the lack of space available

[@mikekaraoke]

@@davidjellis Exactly- I liked it

[@mikekaraoke]

It is a bloody Dungeon, not a Theme Park FFS.

[@steveb7555]

This ride looks terrible

[@davidjellis]

In what way? Given it's located in a small building it was a pretty impressive construction.
