"Parents have their kids locked up and swung around in metal birdcages." If this hadn't been a video about theme park rides I would have assumed that to be some archaic form of punishment.

Me neither, I am shocked every time he mentions an attraction from las ferias, it seems so simple and common when living there.. that it's strange to hear that the attraction is so out there and crazy or cool

I like them. They look a lot more fun then the seated versions we have on our local fairs.

[@aibao.romodea]

@@smurvje I haven't been on a lot of fairs but I've ridden these once or twice and they're pretty fun, you get like floater airtime but standing with no restrains, and it's fun when you hang onto the ceiling bars. Y oh gotta be careful if you ride with other people though because you may get pushed into one another (which makes it even more fun if they're friends or family)

The same with the rodeos (or "los toros", as we say in my city 😂). I thought they were quite popular wolrdwide

Villa Volta (the rotating room thing) at Efteling blew my mind when I was younger and got on it for the first time. From the amazing backstory theme to the ride itself, I was in complete awe.

[@fluffy-fluffy5996]

From the outside you think it’s gonna be a complete upside down ride and tumbling. Then you get in and are like: wait, did I get on the right ride? 🤣

[@tammyblankenship8742]

We used to have a similar ride at Carowinds called "Blackbeard's Revenge". It seriously blew my mind the few times I got to ride it. Sadly, it was taken out a few years ago to make room for new rides.

[@smurvje]

It might actually be my favorite ride in the Efteling. Good theming and an awesome soundtrack. I also love it when I get someone to go on it for the fist time and re-live the experience through their eyes.

[@krisheeringa3346]

You also have one at walibi holland its called merlin's magic castle

[@ToeterPaulie]

I totally love Villa Volta, especially the beautiful soundtrack 💜

[@jonathonfreeman9233]

The tweety escape is definitely an example where theming and immersion wins out over literal-minded thrill-number-crunchers. ... mainly because you have to view it from the kid's perspective. - So you could either go on one of the other kid-rides at the park that are clones of other similar "go around the center post" rides with a looney toons mascot stapled on it (honestly not memorable ... maybe they had a taz devil ride with jeeps? can't remember) OR - you could hop in a bird cage in a ride called Tweety Bird's Escape, and pretend like Sylvester was gonna get you and you were escaping In a literal-minded sense, yeah it's weird. From a kid's perspective - yeah of course the bird cage ride's a winner.

[@jonathonfreeman9233]

@Anthony Guarino I'm sure I did when I was a kid riding it. XD

[@ilikerollercoasters4757]

The Topple Tower is my favorite flat ride of all time. I remember when I was young, I used to love Timber Tower at Dollywood. I was so sad when they removed it. I hate to see them lost to time. As with the Sky Swat. It probably was the most intimidating flat ride I've ever been on.

[@SkylarPurefallSSO19]

It's now in Bellewearde Park in Belgium

[@crazysis02]

The tweety bird cages was one of favorite rides growing up. You not only could sit or stand, you could swing from the cross bars inside the cages. I usually rode the cages upside down. I really wasn't expecting to see that. That brought back memories.

[@venangie1]

I rode Alcatraz, the tagata and the rodeo attractions, veery popular in Spain, and also extremely fun! It seems that we spaniards love having attractions that are really dangerous lol

The topple tower looks amazing, and it makes me proud that the last one in europe is in my home nation!!!

[@gabbieb9798]

I actually found it pretty boring. I looks more thrilling then it is do to the slow rotation speed I’ve been on the Marineland one many times before it was removed

[@jeroen0011]

Same for me, but it's not really a fun ride tho, ive been on it a couple of times in Bellewaerde. I'm way more proud about Revolution, the longest operating coaster in the world at Bobbejaanland in Belgium :), Peter included that coaster in atleast 2 from his videos in the past

[@diannatalmadge]

I rode a version of the mystery ride at 6 flags in Nj. It was called the Houdini attraction. One of the coolest rides I’ve ever been on.

[@CoasterHour]

The first 9 attractions look quite bizarre but also impressive and grand in their own ways. But then at number 1 there is Tweety’s Escape 🤣. Awesome video and I’d definitely love to ride some of these attractions such as the rodeo, the mad house, and the topple tower. Definitely will avoid the Ferris ring though as it seems like it could legitimately be unsafe.

[@bluegold1026]

The Madhouse is a fun experience. I've experienced them at Six Flags New England and Six Flags Great Adventure, both under the name "Houdini's Great Escape"

[@gabbieb9798]

I’ve been on Topple Tower at Marineland before it broke. I was on one of the last ride for it. It’s now been removed and replaced with Star Voyager

[@nowthatsjustducky]

The Topple Tower looks pretty awesome, actually. As for the Rodeo, I doubt there are any amusement park / carnival operators in the U.S. that will take the risk on a ride where people actually fall off it.

[@Dan-uy2ld]

I have been on a sky swat and it's a pretty awsome flat ride. It's a shame they have all gone.

[@ammarn94]

Woah, The Diggerland park looks amazing and the rides too. Hope I can go there someday.

[@RainbowLizardOne]

I've been there once when I was a kid, it's a pretty weird place from what I can remember. Much more of a family park, but definitely charming. Spin Dizzy was a very fun ride, though - it really did feel like a bit of construction equipment that they put seats into (which I guess it is)

[@cassandradube-savard5213]

[@robertsmith9080]

"Swat" at Astroworld was simply the worst flat ride I've EVER been on. My Spouse and I both got off it and said "never again". . not only was it terrifying, it was uncomfortable, and the amount of upside-down hang time gave both of us headaches. that I still have such a negative reaction to it, more than 16 years after it closed? says a lot. . .LOL

[@skstonesmith]

Me watching a random POV: 😯 Theme park crazy in the comments: I was wondering if I could use this footage for my new video I’m working on. I will give full credit in the video. I always respect him for giving credit and getting permission.

[@PoBoyX]

I’ve ridden a ride almost identical to the Aviation Training Ride and it was awesome. We used to have a ride called the Solar Flare here in Edmonton at West Edmonton Mall and it was our favourite. The only difference I can see is that the Solar Flare had the standup ride config at both ends and had more standard seating at all the other positions. Both were fun but we preferred the standup positions. It was actually a very smooth and fluid feeling ride that gave a neat sense of flying. We were disappointed when they took it away.

[@raviamodernepic]

[@danielcarvajalblanco3476]

I did ride "Alcatraz" in my tennager days and it's truly fun ride. The freedom feeling and the gravity 0 plus the freedom movement for can jump and literally free fall with the ride, it's priceless. It's really safe ride as well.

I was lucky enough to ride the Slammer (sky swatter in Thorpe park) multiple times before it’s closure. I thoroughly enjoyed it when it was running, and I remember how many issues it did have. It had to close a few times during the day due to maintenance issues, or just stay closed for the entire day

[@lilithhr]

i once went to six flags with one friends and i was always a roller coster lover but we came across a little “town area” that we thought was cute and we explore and went into a house and we thought it ended up being a tour. but then they sat us in the room and what happens in the Madhouse happened. It became my favorite ride. It was so mysterious and awesome. I couldn’t believe the design of the ride. Cannot wait to find another one to go on one day!😭
