Top 10 BIZARRE Water Rides (Feat. Canobie Coaster)

NOTE: Zamperla also very recently opened a Big Wavez ride in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

[@dezxter8186]

That was for Jeddah seasons City walk I was luckily able to get a ride on it but City walk was only for a month from late may to the end of June I am thankful I got a ride on it TLDR: It was for a month only

We have LUNA PARK in Australia 2 times. 1 in Sydney and the other in Melbourne.. Why are there so many especially when you read it backwards it spells KRAP ANUL 🤣 we always Giggled at this as kids 😇 🐨 🇦🇺 ❤. If you know why they use the name and why there's so many I'd love to know! Thankyou I enjoyed this a lot 💓

The Pyramid in Belantis is so scary! The moving seats give you such an unsafe feeling! And the boat is jumping a little bit during the drop, which makes it even scarier!

The Log Flume at Morey’s Piers might be one of the best, most unique log flumes ever made. It starts out really normal, but then you drop below the Boardwalk. Suddenly you’re riding a dark ride! There’s all these props and scenes of teens hanging out under the boardwalk, naturally set to the song “Under the Boardwalk.” My friends and I weren’t expecting it at all, and we just started laughing hysterically when it happened. It was amazing.

[@JordynHealing]

Hey Dan, is this ride called the Zoom Phloom?

They were originally made for underwater salvage and repair teams, to transport the crews to the depth needed.

Even crazier is how they put Diving Bell into Planet Coaster 2

[@roycem4945]

4:32 - the diving bells failed -- because you didn't see anything (it would harm real fish) -- except rubber fish. AND - the liability - as people were standing inside -- so when it surfaced- some were thrown - hit the ceiling.

[@CouchPotator]

Carolwinds had a Nickelodeon coaster where the riders fought with the guests on the ground with water cannons and *maybe* a water drop (I can't remember well). It was the Flying Super Saturator 2000-2008. It was a hybrid of the two designs in the video, it was 4 seats, back to back

[@lazykatie42069]

the Splash Party reminds me of the Hershey Roller-Soaker, and I'm positive it must have been inspired by it because they have too much in common for that not to be the case

[@SebastianLeopoldCherry]

That’s what I came here to say! Hershey definitely had one

[@annaisntcool]

[@bigc1280]

I rode the Hydrofighters ride at Funtown. The biggest problem was that people used to spin the cars instead of fighting. Nobody really knew how to splash other people. It was fun, but the waiting took forever!

[@lampenkapper]

I remember riding El Rio at Bobbejaanland when the ferris wheel lift was operational. It could lift several boats at the same time and the drop really made the ride. Without the lift, it's just a standard river rapids.

[@0z3r0]

I remember the drop of the slide to be very soaking.

[@domenico9055]

Fun fact: I am Italian and live in Veneto, 20 km from Zamperla, and (thanks to my school) I had the opportunity to go and work there for a month. At the last days I was proposed to try the Big Wavez (before it was even brought to the park in Jeddah) with other guys, but unfortunately we could not go up because the tests went wrong that day and it was not safe.

[@D308M]

The rocking boat model sounds and looks really innovative and fun, it reminds me of a wild mouse but slower and underwater. Love to see one of them somewhere! 😁

Kitt Superjet ride at Movieland Park (Italy) deserves a spot in this list. It's one of the most funny and insane rides ever. It's basically a 15 seats speedboat driven by a stuntman in a themed lake with special effects and sudden 360° turns, based on Knight Rider series from the '80s with onboard audio and other stuff. Crazy ride, indeed.

[@Maliboomer]

I live in Orlando and am one of the few people that have had the chance to ride the Hydra flyer at Wet in Wild. We use to get a season pass every year when my siblings and I were younger and my mom use to drop us off once a week or more in the summertime. I do agree that it was a little hard to get it to operate correctly. You had to perfectly time the stream on each side to get any height and it was hard to tell when to because you and the other rider are facing opposite directions. Many days the line was so long and capacity low and we would simply skip it. Cool ride though and I miss wet and wild. Those are days I will always remember fondly...

[@lucomc32607]

Not many KZbinrs know as much about water rides as the two of you! A perfect combination!

[@234paka]

FYI I live in UAE and regarding the splash coaster, they now disabled the water function due to maintenance costs, the ride would break down often afaik, ive visited yas waterworld many times and ive witnessed that many of its features u mentioned are now disabled not sure if its permanent or temporary

[@seankearns8303]

Of every water ride I've seen outside the US, the Fluch Des Pharao looks by far the most intriguing. The best way to describe it is basically like an Ancient Egypt-themed version of Splash Mountain and it looks pretty awesome. The first time I saw it, I was HOOKED! I'll admit that I've never been to Germany but I'm really looking forward to getting out there one day to check out Belantis and Europa Park. This was truly one of your best collaborations 😍

[@me-myself-i787]

There's so many great parks in Germany! Europa-Park, Rulantica, Galaxy Erding, Tropical Islands, and PhantasiaLand.

[@suchdoge8635]

Belantis poorly isn‘t good at all. Really ugly and often even has a lost place vibe to it. But Europapark ist great. If you make it to Germany I recomment checking out Phantasialand too. The whater ride Chiapas there is the best in Germany with no doubt

[@godzillaboi676]

I really wish more soaking drop towers existed. Its such a cool idea! Keep up the channel, I learn something new from every new video.

[@Polarized_Vision]

A water ride I wish was installed was the pre-imagined Kali River Rapids at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It was then called “Tiger River Rapids” as it showcased real live tigers while guests pass by in rapid ride carts. There would be a longer and more advanced layout as well. Sadly, that didn’t happen. If it did, however, this would be a very problematic ride due to the ride being loud to the animals

[@Ladraoeminglescommiopia]

[@and_mueller]

Wet-n-wild Orlando was my water park growing up! I remember when they installed the Hydro Fighters. Probably the most exciting concept there at the time. Can confirm the user error. It relied on two people working cohesively and effectively, I think half the time people would catch on by the timer running out. But about one out of 8 would really catch some height and cause a spectacle! A bit of the draw was to see if you and someone could impress the onlookers/ workers (who would occasionally demonstrate). Wait times were long because of low ride capacity and I think in the end people like the “lazy” ride experiences. I loved it. Great memories! Thanks guys for an awesome video.

I miss the Toad Hole at Lightwater valley in the UK, it was a simple wander up a hill, go inside the hill and get in a large 16 passenger boat that was pushed down a slope into a rather murky lake where we disembarked. The boat was returned to the station by being dragged back up the slope by a rope, ah simpler days 🤪

[@giuliamelomessina2750]

There is a really similar ride that is almost the same as Hydra Fighters in a famous water park in Brasil called Termas dos Laranjais, there ride is called Hidro Balanço and unlike the Hydra Fighters it is still working, the concept is the same the only difference is the design.

Hershey park used to have a coaster similar to Splash Party called the Roller Soaker. I don’t think it did well bc it wasn’t there that long. I think it had a lot of mechanical issues. Rode it once and I wasn’t that impressed.

[@sonofbeast363]

I haven’t seen any bizarre water rides at any park. But I can tell, that we would love to see a bizarre water attraction coming in each parks in or out of America. Maybe I would love to go to Atlantic, NJ and check out the diving submarine from the view. That would be great if anyone has gotten a picture of a submarine popped out. Sometimes few attractions came in and they want the guests to ride for fun.

The one with the Pyramid Looks Goofy

[@RuKoReview]

Another strange Water ride is KONGO-RIVER at Safariland Stukenbrock in Germany. Built by "van Egdom". You only sit down in a rubber dinghy on small stools. Without any restraints. The second drop however is a double drop that gives you quite a small amount of ejector airtime. So you can feel the boat lifting from the ground und you lifting from the boat. And without any restraints and only the small stool this is a very unique experience. On the downside the second lift hills goes 2 minutes. And without any backrest this becomes a real abs workout.

[@Yahweh-Chase-Bella]

That pyramid ride looked cool the whirlpook definitely unique. The overall ride reminds me of one at Bush gardens the "Pompeii" ride was really cool
