Ride mechanic reviews Final Destination 3 rollercoaster scene

Final destination 3 had a memorable scene where a lot of people were supposed to die on a rollercoaster. This move had some odd affects on the amusement industry.
I wanted to watch parts of it and give an inside view with lighthearted commentary as I review this scene from a ride mechanics perspective.
Final destination 3 the movie to rent or buy

Nearly every person I talk to who says “I don’t like rollercoasters” uses Final Destination as a part of their argument 😂

Do you just start making up things as well haha!

[@Whatchamawhozit]

Imagine if they saw the unrealistic sabotage of the Rocket in 1977's ROllercoaster... that would never happen as depicted but for a PG film it was pretty gruesome

[@CharlietheWarlock]

I'm scares of roller coasters because I don't like falling feeling

[@realthrills5448]

@@CharlietheWarlock That feeling is what makes me love them. It’s the most controlled danger I can find.

I can't stand it when people are like that. Like those people should also be afraid of: Air planes, water, pools, gyms, cars, fast food drive throughs, fireworks, nails, cherry pickers, carnivals, ladders, elevators, movie theaters, ambulances, birds, construction works, etc..

[@Amerigo3356]

That movie made me so mad after seeing that roller coaster scene! I’ve explained it to so many people about how that would NEVER EVER HAPPEN. I love how the track is perfectly cut!

[@ryantheridemechanic]

I just love how the fiberglass cowl broke the track……. Come on people.

[@bocahdongo7769]

This accident based from Mindbender Accident. Ofc even more harrowing and faster for real life version (Schwarzkopf provide them with bad sparepart), but the sequence of accident is exactly the same (derailed from ejected bogie, the restrain getting destroyed from striking the track ties, people getting throwed off from train)

[@Colaholiker]

@@bocahdongo7769I am not going to reiterate how wrong the often told cause of that accident is (It was *not* Schwarzkopf's fault, he even went to Canada together with Werner Stengel just after the accident to help in the investigations), but the train did not strike track ties and unlocked the restraints. What happened is that the train, obviously being slowed down by dragging the last coach along the track, rolled back, pushing the derailed coach (Schwarzkopf trains only have two axles on the lead coach and one axle on the following coaches) off to the side, where it hit a support column. This bent the brake fin upwards, which in turn pushed the unlock mechanism. So neither did the restraints get destroyed nor did the locking mechanism fail - it was simply unlocked due to other damage following the accident. I won't start discussion who hit it worse - the people who got ejected and fell to their death or the ones not getting ejected but crushed between the train rolling backwards and the support column.. all very tragic. Too bad there is a lot of inaccurate information about this accident out there... 😞

[@alaeriia01]

​​@@ryantheridemechanicin their defense, that bit of track was already loose. It was shown in the queue. I do like how the fiberglass just bonks off it. Probably made a good noise in the soundstage. EDIT: We can do the math here. Vortex track slices are a thing; a 1.5-inch-long slice of running rail weighs about 10 pounds. It's also about six inches in diameter; I would estimate we're looking at a half inch or so of thickness of tubular steel.

[@JayFiCreator]

This movie made me scared of roller coasters!

[@ErisIsAnAbomination]

This is going to make me sound like an absolute baby, but I have severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts, and media like Final Destination really freaks me out when I’m trying to enjoy a day at the theme park (kinda funny being a thrill ride fan with anxiety 😭). Watching breakdowns of the scene from actual professionals helps me rationalize things a lot and know that this would NEVER happen irl. I know it’s not just me, this movie apparently turned a LOT of people away from coasters, so thank you for dissecting it and showing us the reality!

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Your welcome. We all have those thoughts at parks I’m sure. I had the unfounded fear of a gondola on the enterprise ride coming off and landing in the water ride. Can’t shake that thought from time to time. I know it won’t happen but by brain likes to hold it.

[@changster15]

The idea that a plastic camcorder could beat a multi-ton roller coaster train always perplexed me. I grew up going to Great Adventure in New Jersey-Great American Scream Machine and its Arrow Looper sisters were certainly not man’s greatest innovation, but those road wheels, as is the case in all roller coasters of that size were roughly the size of your head.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Big and steel. One wheel can obliterate a plastic camera for sure. Soft fabrics doe the most damage. Disney had a backpack fall on the track of their intamin and that got mangled up enough with the reaction fins that it just prevented the train from making the top of the next hill, and it valleyed.

[@Colaholiker]

Yeah, but you gotta admit that a realistic scene (camera on the track, train passes, *CRUNCH*, camera parts raining down, train continues as if nothing happened) would not have worked well with the theme of the movie... 🤣

[@roller1235]

The amount of sarcasm in this video is making me question the things you say

[@ryantheridemechanic]

I thought for sure you were going to say the whole thing was caused by the shoddy stripe work on the restraint 😂

[@Missglam67]

Well I can admit I kinda freaked out on Tatsu. But the ride attendant was already there checking my restraints and I said very quietly that I wanted off. She asked if I was sure and I said yes so it wasn’t like the train was about to dispatch and I freak out at the last minute. I was so mad at myself but a couple of weeks later I finally got on and stayed on. I was riding with a bunch of other first timers. Now it’s one of my favorites and I help other first timers ease their anxiety. I admit that you had something to do with me finally riding what I thought was the most scary terrifying roller coaster in the world! You said nothings gonna happen and you will be fine. It will only be 90 seconds and you will wonder why you were afraid in the first place. When I see this scene it’s almost comical. I am glad you found your channel. I found it at the right time because I have been killing it this summer with riding my coasters. I am planning a trip to Kings Island and Cedar Point next summer because they are rivals to my home parks Magic Mountain and Knotts Berry Farm.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Such an awesome story!! So glad you conquered your fears it’s hard to do I know. If you ever get that feeling of “I can’t do it” you can also just breathe slow, and remind yourself, “look, everyone gets on, everyone gets off, cycle after cycle day after day” might come in handy some time. Or it will for me next time my son wants to drag me on drop of doom again haha!!

@@ryantheridemechanic cool

[@deeanna8448]

I took my niece to Carowinds as soon as she was tall enough to ride roller coasters. The first one we rode was Carolina Cobra which goes backwards up a hill as soon as it leaves the station then comes flying back down. She watched it go a couple of times and decided she felt good about riding it. As soon as it started backing up the hill, she said "I changed my mind. I want to get off". I said "it's too late now. Just hold my hand and you'll be fine". So the roller coaster photo from that first drop is her looking absolutely terrified. By the end of the ride, she was having a blast, and immediately wanted to ride again. 13 years later, she still loves coasters.❤

[@Jenlovescoasters]

I saw this in the theater, and i got things thrown at me for calling out the bs. 😂

[@macsignals]

I'm pretty sure I've bent EMT conduit with thicker walls than that track. On a related note don't worry I went from being a ride mechanic to working at a railroad... In our off time we have drinking games dedicated to debunking 'Unstoppable'.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Ha! That sounds like fun. I also knew a ride mechanic who went to work for the railroad to be a conductor or engineer. He eventually quit and came back to the park. He said he got good at short naps haha.

[@zachariahswartz5970]

I feel like the ride wouldn't have crashed if the stripes on the seats restraints were the same size!

[@ryantheridemechanic]

I thought that was the scariest thing there.

[@alaeriia01]

14:52 Some guy has recreated the ride in NL2 from the CGI work and the layout on the control panel. The ride has two sets of double corkscrews, and it does them back to back with a turn in between them, like a Bekoma Whirlwind but with double corks. Amusingly, the bit with the hills comes after both of those, which means we have a continuity error as well.

[@DatScharger64]

I suppose rollercoasters are so meticulously constructed and stuffed to the brim with safety-systems, that not even Death himself could dismantle one by CONVENIENT accidents. Except, maybe, letting a meteor crash onto it.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Wouldn’t go that far haha!! They are tough to hurt. Lots of redundancy. Definitely not what pictured in the movie.

[@Jenlovescoasters]

Because a real ride mechanic was clearly not consulted. I like "upstops and gravity are out the window"😂

[@angazi1341]

I guess I’m watching this just in time for Halloween, only 10 months after you posted it 😂

[@alaeriia01]

27:55 Actually, that second vertical loop is right at the end of the ride. After that there's this painful-looking s-bend into a right turn into the brakes. Vekoma would at least have a helix finale there! (Also, this ride sorely needs an MCBR, but whatever.)

[@evilwolfuk]

The Big one at blackpool is scary 235ft high. it often get stuck at the peak of the climb and people have to walk down the steps 235ft high that is more scary than the ride its self. I have seen it happen a few times.

[@strathvenart7341]

Great video, as always! In preparation, I watched an upload of the roller coaster scene on KZbin and one of the first things that threw me off was that a ride operator, immediately after catching a rider holding a camera out in the open just before dispatch, then told the rider he could just put it in his pocket. I don't know, I've never been a ride op and I've never taken a loose article out on a ride, but that felt wrong to me.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

I’ve done it tons of times when the park was closed. If we needed to ride multiple times for some odd reason I’d take my phone and play games while it was running

[@leeriffee4606]

When I first saw FD3, I did find the coaster scene to be pretty gripping, despite the fact that the first two movies were rather outlandish and ridiculous. IMO they border on black humor for me because of that. But, being a coaster fan, I immediately realized that the coaster scene was also over the top, silly and in so far as the failures, unrealistic. I can't say I didn't think about it the next time I went to a park and rode a coaster, but I knew that real coasters aren't like that at all. As far as that movie affecting park goers who aren't enthusiasts, I can easily see that. When I was a kid, I saw the Poseidon Adventure and that scared me away from going on a cruise ship for a long time. Eventually I got over that fear but I imagine that the cruise ship industry didn't like that movie any more than the amusement park industry liked FD3.

[@ryantheridemechanic]

@@leeriffee4606 I bet not.

[@vanitas456]

With the safety bars not aligning that was intentional final destination always makes the setting look off to make the setting look uneasy I think there's also elements of Alfred hitchcock's bomb theory in highlighting the flaws that no one notices that leads up to the disaster

9:35 Wait, why _are_ the wheels falling off? Everything else in this scene was hinted at before. Dod they not have time to have a shot of a loose bolt earlier? Even _Wallace and Gromit_ has the decency to animate the hitch falling apart.

[@Whatchamawhozit]

You should do a similar review of the 1977 film Rollercoaster. Otherwise, when I saw this int heaters and each clip you stopped to comment on I was in the theater yelling BS... BS, that is an arrow train no hydraulics, if the ride had any hydraulics it would most likely be the brake run and the lift system (depending on model) also this may also just be a Vekoma which used arrow trains any way and still no hydraulics. Most coasters even arrows were mechanical and pneumatic. I only remember once hydraulic system in my op years and that was on a whirlwind Vekoma and it was in the systems shed

Agreed on all levels.

[@alaeriia01]

What would happen if a hydraulic line were cut, aside from someone getting their clothes ruined by hydraulic fluid? Probably nothing. In the event of a catastrophic loss of hydraulic pressure, the restraints would lock down (fail-safe). It's like the air brakes on a train: hydraulic pressure (or pneumatic pressure) keeps the things open.

I might have a bit more experience with this movie because like you said it used to be located in Playland which is my unfortunate home amusement park, it was originally located in the now defunct (closed in 1993) Boblo Island from 1985 to 1993 known as Screamer which was then relocated to Playland in 1994 and closed down in 2018 and when this horrific movie came out, it went from a somewhat mediocre coaster to a downright hated coaster among enthusiasts, for the remaining 12 years of operation, I was happy when they finally got rid of that monstrosity of a coaster, my only hope is that their "new" coaster will do better, but seeing as they've sunk I think it was $9,000,000 into a roller coaster that is going to be 15 years old when they get it rebuilt there, my hopes are not that high, sure it'll be fun to have a launch coaster at my home park, but it's not encouraging that they'd rather spend that much money on a used coaster than to get a brand new coaster from the same company (Zamperla) for a couple million more.

can confirm the freakouts, have seen it happen multiple times, not that big a deal when it does happen, just delays dispatch for 10-20 seconds while we recheck all the harnesses. to anyone who is thinking about going to an amusement park, if at any time before we send the train out of the station, you don't feel safe for any reason, please speak up and let the operators know. We will not force you to ride if you don't want to. all we ask is try to be patient as we may have to manually unlock the restraints depending on the ride and how long the cycle time for the restraints takes. we will get you off the ride the soonest that we physically can.

[@hoosiercoasterfan2655]

I have to say, “Devils Flight” (as it’s referred as in the movie) has a pretty kickass layout full of bunny hills and hang time filled inversions. Part of me wishes the ride existed in this form in real life (with proper coaster designing of course). The Final Destination movies never fail to make me roll my eyes. As someone whose also an Avgeek the first movie made me cringe. Like apparently some turbulence is gonna cause sparks to fly everywhere (this franchise really loves its sparks), it’s gonna cause holes to rip out of the sides, and then the whole plane is just gonna explode in midair. It’s all pretty stupid.

Let me tell you something about that: That ride technically did exist! It was in an amusement park in Vancouver, and the ride was actually called the corkscrew! But it wasn’t as big as it was in the movie! So the film creator’s decided to make it bigger with some visual effects! And they did a good job with the scene! However, after the movie came out, people who saw it didn’t want to ride that roller coaster anymore! So to save their money, the people who owned the park had to dismantle the ride completely!

Perhaps a Guide Wheel, and a Upstop Wheel would most likely have damage to The Assembly, probably a completely broken off Upstop. Now Timothy Bottoms Character is Very Believable when he gets Struck, and Killed Instantly by The Revolution Train. Which also is a Very Good Public Address Video. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!! Enter a Restricted Area of Any Rollercoaster when Riders might have lost Any Lose Articles during The Ride. It's Not Worth losing Your Life Over!!!☠️🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🤚🏽 DANGER!!! RESTRICTED AREA!!! AUTHORIZED PERSONAL ONLY!!!

Those pesky road wheel safety’s probably prevented it. Haha

You had me laughing out loud for your whole review! Thanks!

They clearly didn’t use enough Elmers glue and duct tape to keep everything together!

[@ryantheridemechanic]

They cut the PO for crazy glue right.

Yeah after scouring all the ride accident stories it's really easy to see that the vast, vast majority of ride accidents with serious injury or fatality were all caused by just straight human error like ride operators/mechanics clearing a block zone with people on the ride still, or operators just failing to see restraints properly secured. It's never because the actual ride just straight broke apart (except that discovery ride in like India, that shit was crazy). The only one I can think of that was really the ride messing up like like was the launch coaster that they let the stators get out of true alignment on which ripped off the undercarriage of the trains pretty much after rolling back into them.

[@forzaguy1252]

Or another “common” ride incident, is just people going into restricted areas, and learning why they are restricted

[@Mazrim420]

@@forzaguy1252 That is the "straight human error" portion of my statement. Your absolutely right though.

[@spinba11]

Don’t know if you know but for first part of the ride (before it starts falling apart) it was actually filmed on a roller coaster (it was an arrow double corkscrew coaster) if you want to watch behind the scenes of filming the coaster segment start this video at 16:20 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGHPdGltmrCNe7ssi=tlMjwPcJACN45ulu

Its the old rusty fishook hitch

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Looks like a “it will be a super quick shot” type of hitch.

This ride must be a knockoff Vekoma made by Golden Horse. 😂

[@spinba11]

Yes, you finally did it

[@Jenlovescoasters]

I'm over here like, what campath/lapbar release rail only opens half the train..😂

[@alaeriia01]

I know that Wicked Cyclone's PLC has two unlock systems like that; you can unlock just cars 1-3 or 4-6. An Arrow or Vekoma ride of this size would absolutely have seven-car trains, though, and Arrow PLCs unlock the entire train at once. Some are precise enough to unlock specific seats, which is funny when someone gets busted for having a phone out on the ride; they leave the miscreant locked in until security arrives.

Honestly this is the film that make me traumatize the hell out of it not only for Rollercoaster but also the whole theme park. Imagine 6 yo kid accidentially watching exactly this scene Only after 10 years the trauma heal. And it only because someone explain Rollercoaster from technical side (which is my guilty pleasure in general). Only then I started to appreciate about rollercoaster more and love it. (Thanks a LOT to Technology Connection and Eltororyan channel) Also sir, have you realize those FD3 accident actually based from Mindbender Accident? It has exactly the same sequence (train derailed from ejected bogie, ripped of the whole restrain assembly, and people getting threw off from height), only stretched by 5 minute

[@ryantheridemechanic]

Really. Wow.
