To clarify: The ride model is just called the "Speed," but certain installations are named "Speed XXL." When I researched this, the page made it sound like "Speed XXL" was the name of the model and not just that specific installation. The footage shown in this video is not of the specific ride named "Speed XXL", but the model is exactly the same. Also, the Inversion 24's gondolas are capable of unlocking and rotating freely. However, regulations prevent them from unlocking at the top height. So most operators leave them locked throughout the ride cycle. Every clip of the ride I've seen shows them staying locked during the whole ride. But apparently, some operators will unlock them. Its just rare
@A7x_Forever Жыл бұрын
Yeah. And unfortunately, there is no point. When the Infinity was still in its early years, operators stated in an interview that the gondolas will eventually flip when released, like you mostly get on Inversion 12s. However, the gondolas are way too heavy and since German regulation prohibits them from unlocking them at full power (since you could hypothetically flip upside down at the loading station and experience an honestly red-out inducing -5G, the operators don't even bother anymore. It is what it is.

Haha glad I wasn’t the only one to mention the zipper. That is one ride I have never gotten back on. As a kid my brother whom was 5yrs older than me got us spinning so fast it flung me out of the seat and buckles and I tumbled around the cage until the ride stopped. I was covered in bruises for weeks and broke my pinky finger.

The Zipper was my mother’s favourite carnival ride. As a kid I would have wanted the new restraints on the Zipper than the ‘classic’ mode. For my first time on this ride, I felt very uncomfortable with holding onto nothing BUT the bar. After I got off it I told my mom how rough and intense it felt. She said that it’s an older ride that got a more rough over time. Little did I know that the Zipper, out of 30 other thrill rides is considered to be the MOST INTENSE!

I rode a Speed XXL model once and never again. My ride in particular got the short end of the stick, and the weight distribution was probably the worst it could be. Every time we came around back down to Earth, my seat rotated facing the ground, and continuing to face the ground, including through the transition of going back up. So, I was getting pushed into my harness pretty hard and clinching my legs into the seat to keep me from sliding forward. Every single time lol.

Unfortunately, the newer rides have a green light to say if your belly is too big, even if you're snug and in place. I'm only 204 pounds and couldn't ride the speed XXL. It's very depressing. However, I could ride a smaller version of the Inversion 24. Very fun, and of course, the zipper. A lot of new rides have this green light, though, that anyone without a flat six-pack tummy or a small kid can now not ride. Gives me incentive to lose more weight and try again next year.

So fun fact, I HATE rollercoasters and attraction rides, they scare the crap out of. One day as we were driving through Massachusetts we found a carnival and decided to go. As we were walking my sister pointed out the Zipper (which I knew I would hate but didn't know of its infamy) and dared me to get on. I refused until she said she'll pay me if I did it. So I decided to get on. Of course it had to be 2 seater and I was only one 16 year old so one of the operators got on with me. I barely was able to fit being a little tall for it so I was cramped in there with face barely off the front cage door. We then were launched into the air and started spinning uncontrollably. However after our 3rd spin that was sending us down I bashed my face into the cage door and immediately my nose began gushing blood everywhere. The operator with my screamed to stop the ride as I was bleeding everywhere. When the ride stopped and the door opened blood was running down everywhere onto the landing and all over the cage door. My entire shirt was covered in blood and all in my face. I had to rush to the bathroom and wait for my dad to buy me a new shirt and they had to temporarily close down the ride to clean up all the blood. My family still reminds me of how embarrassed they are of me on how I ruined a carnival ride and made it look like a murder scene.

My experiences: • The Remix is just insane. My feet start tingeling because the blood rushed down there. Very very fast ride. • The Star Shapes weren't all that intense. I rode the one at Skyline Park and the traveling one "High Energy" in germany. They are nice and comfy and not really that fast, but pleasent! The new brakes in the gondolas are just a dealbreaker for me. Now they are reeeeaaaally slow. Look at "Air" from the UK with the inner seats missing, almost no swinging occurs. • The Rocket was nice, but repetetive. Rode it on the Oktoberfest. A more thrilling version of a Starflyer pretty much, but the flipping is at a more graceful pace for more hangtime. I rode it while it was raining like crazy, but still very fun. • Yeah the KMG speeds are awesome. I prefer the Booster Maxx models by Fabbri (why listed below). • The Top Scan has to be my fav. The laterals in the outer seat are unmatched. My face is glued to the restraint. This is just crazy. the "Skater" on german fairs cranks it up to the max everytime. • Maybe I'm just used to the Top Spins because I've ridden them a ton, but I don't find them all that intense anymore. We have 2 traveling in germany and one suspended one at Phantasialand. Awesome, but the traveling ones have very uncomfortable restrains. Also I prefered the Top Spin 2 models. They are smaller, but the flipping is crazy fast. Best: KMG Discovery 1.0. • The Capriolo 10P is a mixed bag. I actually prefer the older models without the extra spin. It always feels like you crash head first down which is more terrifying to me personally. But I have to say: These were the most intense negative g's I've ever experienced. My head wanted to pop after 3 rides in a row. This is like the Top Scan no joke. You really should be in a good condition when riding these. • The Inversion 24 is fun, but goes only upside down once. ONCE. It just takes so long and needs so much power to get up there. The positives are good, though. • I have to disagree with the HUSS Booster: It does not feel like a Mondial shake, not at all. A shake really feels like a breakdance thanks to it's aditional axis of rotation and it is a LOT tamer than the Booster. The laterals are insane. One moment you're upright, the other moment you get flug upside down instantly. The sideways swinging also can give some awesome airtime when everything is right. • The Rotor is advertised as a family ride in germany on the Oktoberfest. The laughing from people who never tried it before (mostly tourists) is always a joy to watch. - Rides which could be on the list for next time: • Soriani & Moser Top Star Tour. I rode Predator in germany. Not only does it look impressive, the negative g's when it flips back to normal are shockingly strong. I didn't expect that. • Technical Park Pegasus models. Great speed, great laterals and pretty much the same amount of flipping as with a top scan. The op can lock the gondolas at the top so you blast though the station upside down for some wicked negative g's. My fav. with the Top Scan. • Mondial Heartbreaker. Not the most intense, but lots of flipping on a very small footprint. Really really fun! • Huss Take Off. The ones on germany still go full speed. Heavy positive g's like a never ending pretzel loop. • Fabbri Contact. Really heavy positive g's and laterals. Really odd looking, but man what an odd but intense experience. • Fabbri Heavy Rotation. Also really insane positive's in your back and very fast spinning. Similar forces to the Take Off. • Fabbri Booster Maxx 55/16. Really really fast and crushing positives. I case you the reader didn't notice: I love flat rides and I rode them pretty much all my life. If you made it to the end here: respect mate.

The empty space where it once stood is still visible in the park if you are across from the Gold Rusher and about to trek up that hill. You can look to your right and it's near the empty unused gazebo thing that used to serve as the lower station for the defunct Dragon ride (it was a transport ride that would get you up that side of the hill; the upper station is now used for Ninja).

I definitely used to turn myself upside down in the Gravitron. Lol My stomach couldn't handle these rides now but all of them look insanely fun!! The Zipper was the only ride to make me cry. I was 11 lol

The Top Scan (Samurai) was one of the first thrill rides I remember from growing up close to Lagoon. It helped me gain an appreciation for thrilling flat rides, and sparks the adventurous nature in me.

In case this comment makes through the shoutout section, I'd just wanna let you guys know that we are getting our first B&M coaster here in Brazil and our RCCA is soon going to get a RMC makeover, all in the next 5 years. Even tho it's only a dive coaster, that's still a huge staple for us brazilian enthusiasts. Keep that great work TPC, much love from the Federal District of Brazil! (Also Monte Makaya and SFOG's Deja Vu are confirmed to reopen in Mirabilandia Brazil around 2025)

Hi TPC, loving the content as always.... I was wondering if you could do a video for thrilling rides built before 1950s? I'm really curious about how intense they were able to make rides back in the day (I know that video will likely be challenging to do).

Flat rides are rides I’ll rarely go on. This is mainly because I’m very focused on roller coasters at theme parks. However when I ride flat rides, I enjoy them very much!

Some attractions on this list u see everywhere like the Power Surge, Speed XXL and Airborne on what we call in Dutch: Kermis or Fair in English..Every year they travel to countries like Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium , the UK , France and even Spain. KMG and Intamin makes it far more entertaining for people who wants a little bit more adrenaline and it is high quality..

I was watching this video and not believing I didn't see the zipper and low and behold it was #1. Jersey shore in the 80s classic. Finally fought up the nerve to get on it and loved it.. Great ride.

There is a Super Shot and a speed XXL at a themepark near me in Bogotá, Colombia. Those are wild (talking from experience). You can hear the click on the super shot and go "oh shit".

The Remix is quite fun, went on it 3 times with my step-sister. I went on something similar to the Gyro Swing/Giga Discovery at Oaks Park in Oregon, and it was very fun. I did both the 180 and 360. I go on the Gravitron almost every year at the fair, it is a favorite of one of my ex-friends. This year at the fair, I went on the Rotor [called the Rave at my fair] 3 times and it was super fun. I went onto something very similar to the Zipper as well, but I don't remember much of it and my step-sister didn't allow me to flip the cart.

My Nana and Pop love telling the story of their experience on the Zipper. Especially my Pop. He always tells me about how they went on it while on a date, and the door flew open mid-ride. He managed to stop my Nana from falling out, and boasts about how he saved her. Idk how lol but it's an interesting, yet terrifying story. My parents wouldn't let me on the ride when I was younger either (they told me I could ride it when I turned 18, leading me to believe it was an adult ride lmao) and now I have an irrational fear of it

Oh man zipper is my favorite carnival ride next to the KMG Experience. I got a ride where i was able to get the car to constantly flip though the whole ride. I counted up to to 52 flips such a great ride and no midway is complete without a Zipper.

The Top spin that King's Island had was the Greatest ever. It was set up as tomb Raider and was fully enclosed and pitch black with movie scenes projected around you. And interactive elements like hot air blowing in your face while dropping you towards lava or water and freezing air spraying on you as you swing towards melting ice cycles. It was amazing. I was devastated when it shut down because of expensive maintenance.
