We had an issue similar to this on the Pinfari 64 m coaster we had at the park I worked at. The front upstop roller on the left front truck set of the car came up on top of the rail in the last curve before the station. In our situation though the ride was shut down until we could figure the problem and have it corrected. What we found was that the outside rail on the last curve had egged over time as was not round in that section any longer. We replaced the rail in accordance with Pinfari's instructions (also all track was meticulously checked to see if any other spots were egged). Pinfari sent out notices for all operators to check for the wear like we experienced. Our coaster ran at that park with no other incidents for another 7 years until the park closed and all rides were auctioned off. It is still running. It was sold to Celebration City then a few other parks if I remember correctly. Last I heard it was at an FEC and was called the Big O but I think it has been relocated since then.

The fact they covered up the poor performance of the ride just nailed it in for me. That's awful. Just shut down the ride while you get more breaks if you didn't want to buy them all at once. Great video! I loved the information! But massive yikes

[@ginsederp]

They could have even not disable some of the mechanical brakes and run the brake system as a hybrid to keep the coaster to its designed speed, but they didn't do even that.

[@reg1m0nz83]

i cant believe the wheels had derailed in the past and they continued to run the ride as is. they were juggling with peoples lives. its a miracle the riders werent fatally injured, but i hope their injuries werent long withstanding. falling 17 feet is terrifying. no one should board a roller coaster and fear for their lives :(

[@taylorflame727]

Dude. I rode it the night before it crashed with my boyfriend. To counterbalance our ride they had cinderblocks in the back 2 cars and it had to be pushed to start. And he wasn't kidding about over speed, at times we felt we were gonna fly out of our seat. Sketchy-sketch.

[@CoasterCollege]

Very sketchy

[@TimothyChapman]

I'm glad that nobody was killed in the crash. I do not understand how a park could be so careless as to let a coaster do what the manufacturer said it should never be allowed to do. Those trim brakes are there for a reason, and the park should not have disabled them at all. Also, I admire your honesty about a mistake you made years ago, in a video that most people probably don't remember the contents of (I forgot that it even existed, though the coaster did seem familiar for some reason).

[@AVdE10000]

Kinda goes hand in hand with the general rule that bigger parks (and by proxy bigger rides) are usually safer. Thank god that negligence to this extend is still the exception, but strange accidents do still happen at smaller locations (Parc Saint-Paul in France has had multiple, and the story of their Formula 1 coaster is uh... Interesting? By lack of a better word)

[@madeliner1682]

@@AVdE10000 also rides that are newer are generally safer. Not saying that all old rides are below a reasonable standard of safety, they're just more likely to have less features and have had more opportunities to be neglected

[@raymondlyons361]

If the park was in financial trouble, as according to the video, they probably didn't have the financial wherewithal to properly modify or repair the ride properly to begin with. The shortcuts, ignoring of the problems, and covering up other problems was a desperation move to keep a potential moneymaking ride active when it should have been shut down and repaired properly.

[@Vishiaeq]

This coaster operated at Del Grosso Amusement park (formerly Blands Park) from 1987 to 2003 under the name "Zyklon." So it was at that location for 16 years. It was my favorite ride at that park and rode it more times than I can count as I lived only 30 minutes from it. This is the coaster that sparked my love of roller coasters. It's really saddening to know that instead of making modifications to actually make the rider safer, that they took shortcuts and intentionally ignored warning signs, and worse yet, covered them up.

[@trelard]

It seems most videos covering ride accidents involve fatalities. It's actually kinda refreshing to see something that caused injury, but all escaped serious injury.

As somebody who lives near Daytona and has been to the boardwalk many many times I wouldn't touch any of the rides there. I dont trust fair level rides as it is but this one was right by the ocean. When it went up I called it that it was going to have issues. It didn't even look safe. Im glad I never rode it tbh.

[@ChipperEm]

the fact that they saw the previous gashes and just PAINTED OVER THEM baffles me. this was so incredibly avoidable.

[@Lkendrick]

After hearing about how much crap they covered up just to pass an inspection, it makes me feel so good that I had rode this coaster numerous times before the accident took place 😬

[@Titan4sfcp]

I rode it on its opening month. I guess it was a good thing I shared a train with only 2 other people. I remember it slammed into that FBR. The rest of the park was a little scary. They had the rustiest ferris wheel Ive ever seen. It seems only fitting Daytona would have such a subpar coaster when it did finally get one. Maybe the daytona speedway will build a cotaland competitor and we can have a real amusement park!

[@Happymali10]

5:01 Painted over without even sanding it, so they did it REALLY cheap. Also all that rust in the track-fit photo, yikes.

[@FhangMedia]

it was literally about 200 to 300 feet away from the ocean, the constant salt spray makes everything rust no mater what you do. If they hadnt kept repainting it it would have probably collapsed from all the rust damage

[@kittykat1791]

As soon as I saw this coaster I recognized it. It spent a few years at my favorite childhood park. It was never a ride I enjoyed going on, and knowing the design issues that might explain why, but the image of the coaster has nostalgic memories because it was the backdrop of many happy days at the park. I'm sorry to hear that people got hurt on it, there is no excuse for not maintaining rides. I hope that the victims have recovered and my heart goes out to them for this horrible experience.

Kudos for coming back to set the record straight after the final report was released... most people would just gloss over their earlier video & how they'd made a few incorrect guess-timations, so bravo 👏 I think it's also worth pointing out how varied the re-certification of amusement rides is. I'm always astonished how often rides are inspected & approved by people with little experience in amusement rides or _any_ similarly engineered structures. I get that it's a niche industry, but it's no excuse for putting your city/state's stamp-of-approval on a ride that a 1st year engineering student would have questions about. The park was clearly negligent, however the ride had been repeatedly re-certified for operation at that park.... the authorities are doing the community & reputable ride operators out there a disservice by dodging any of the responsibility for an unsafe coaster being allowed to operate.

TLC must be given to any piece of machinery no matter how simple or complex. It is especially critical as the model ages & ride manufacture defunct. $$$ should never be held over human safety. BTW the "flanged wheels" for that model acts as road + guide wheels.

[@karakurie]

It seems a lot of these accidents occur because parks are trying to coverup issues so they don't have to pay for extra maintenance. I wonder if there was a way to fix this issue because as greedy as it is, it seems to be human nature to sacrifice safety for money. Could there be a maintenance industry that fixes mistakes for little cost to the amusement park or something? Or government sanctioned maintenance organization? But I guess there are so few accidents like these that cars, guns, etc are the bigger issues.
