Zip World Fforest Coaster & Llandudno Toboggan Vlog July 2017

[@eviesstuff7069]

Man your lucky to be able to go to all these theme parks!

[@zephin8590]

they call it Fforest because in welsh two 'f's next to each other make a ' f ' sound. A 'f' on it's own makes a 'v' sound. it would be a bit weird if people said vorest. useless information presented by me.

[@MorganPriceVideos]

Zephin Nemesis Was just about to comment this 😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing this, we did wonder!

[@coolperson962]

Not useless information, very interesting information! Thankyou for explaining! :)

[@donnapatten285]

@@MorganPriceVideos we americans call it the woods lol

[@gabecooper8408]

Who Ffarted?

[@ozzyferrari8077]

Alton towers needs one of those alpine coasters going through the gloomy wood 👌

[@matthewcollinson7431]

OZZY Ferrari omg great idea

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

OZZY Ferrari used to be a toboggan at Alton towers a LONG time ago , where oblivion is now down that hill

[@harrh4528]

OZZY Ferrari too low throughput for such a busy park

[@ozzyferrari8077]

Coasterfan3657 isn't that why these have lift hills and parts of the track supported, the towers could easily build one of these in the terrain going through gloomy wood and possibly into the gardens with a seep drop!

[@lewis3062]

OZZY Ferrari it will have to be very long with the amount of people in the park. The queue times would be too long all day depending on the length of track / amount of trains. Still a great idea though !

[@penninelegacy8935]

Another great vlog. If you go back to Llandudno there is also a crazy golf course at the top of the Great Orme, where the cable car goes. Great value and great fun.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will have to give that a ride next time

[@FactsandLogicFox]

Theme park worldwide is a great KZbin channel

[@adambarber854]

Dylan Fox I know right

[@FactsandLogicFox]

👍🏻

[@libbiet2260]

great channel isn't it

[@abinotabbey]

Yesssss

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy watching the channel!

[@crashcoaster3852]

What you said at 19:28 and the following minute or two is completely correct. If you want to reduce the amount of trimming on the ride, a good technique that I was told by one of the ride ops was to put down your brakes for a split second just before entering a turn and it prevents the ride from automatically trimming while going through the turns, thus speeds the overall ride up and it worked a treat! :D

[@solotravelermart]

Wow this is a hidden gem incredible I never knew about this until it popped up as a suggested video to watch next. Apsolute incredible I have so got to visit this place when covid19 is over and everything is back to normal. 10/10.

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

Hope you got to visit the Happy Valley and the great orme again in Llandudno. It's a beautiful place with loads to do and it's a lovely drive round the orme ☺

[@Coastsandcoasters]

Great to see Leah in your blogs. Never knew my cuz was in so many!

[@Rancord123]

I live 20 Minutes from Zip World Fforest also the reason behind the double Fs in the title is because in the Welsh language forest in Welsh is more of a vorest so a double f makes forest

[@owendaniel2557]

Ive been on one of these in a ski resort a few times. It wss brilliant as it was similar size but no braking!

[@jhc_fan]

I am looking forward to seeing Leah in future vlogs 👩

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, she is lovely!

[@lorcanbetteley849]

it's crazy hearing Shawn talk about places like waterworld, that are so close to me, and I grew up going too

[@crashcoaster3852]

A dueling one of these has just opened at Bellewaerde, and that doesn't have brakes you can control, so you can't slow down! ;D

[@lukeselby6576]

Love this type of coaster but it's so annoying when you have a slow person in front of you

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

This place is amazing !!!! We've just done a 600 mile road trip for our sons 18th birthday 🎉 Alton towers (inc Harry photo👍🏼) 2 days , down John nikes ski centre for tubing and taboggan thanks to your vid, down to Thorpe park for 2 days and nights in the shark . 225 miles up to zip world for titan zip wires then bounce below . Then passed here by accident so turned round round and gave it a try we all loved it , awesome week ( I didn't see the brake signs till my third go , 🤓we only had 5 cars on this Tuesday so it was great 🎢👍🏼

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We're glad you enjoyed it!

[@eleanorshellard2961]

Lift hill - the ride lol 😂😂

[@TheHoost2]

The prisoner TV series was filmed in port merion

[@parkfreak96]

The alpine coaster you rode there is one of the "new generation alpine coasters" which are build by the german manufacturer Wiegand. All of their new models unfortunately have magnetic brakes all over the whole track (you can see it in the pov's, the silver thing in the middle of the track) which is totally rubbish at all. Shawn you've to ride their older ones in southern germany or austria. They haven't any magnetic brakes at all and are very very long and fast. The one in this video doesn't have any feeling of the original ones for sure.

[@o123Michi321o]

parkfreak96 I do see why they do it this way now though, its mental how dangerous it can be going full speed down one and having someone basically standing there.

[@BocksBob]

Yes you are right. I have put more videos of Alpine Coasters on my channel and only one of those has that magnetic braking (that was the very first one build that way because Wiegand was a partner in that location), I believe all new Alpine Coasters from Wiegand will always have this system and it is not unlikely that older models will get refitted. They used to control the maxium speed by use of a flywheelsystem connected to the leftbackwheel of the sled, this system costs more maintenance then the newmagnetsystem. But I sincerly hope that older model won't get upgraded to this magnetsystem takes all the fun out of riding.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I really want to go and ride some of the older ones!

[@DJSOfficialUK]

Have you ever visited or experienced or visited any attractions in around the Medway area? There's a toboggan run in Chatham near Capstone Park. Its not that long, but its a credit, think there is a another credit there aswell with circle dingy things? Got Diggerland in Medway aswell. Could do those two for this channel and aswell there are lot of attractions in Medway you could do for Sambrooke Adventures? Involving Chatham Historic Dockyard which offers various tours including Call The Midwife, you also have Rochester Castle which could be maybe worth a vlog? Museums around Rochester, Upnor Castle a friend recommends, never been. But its on my list to visit. There are a lot of things to do, there is also a steam railway in Sittingbourne called the SKLR / Sittingbourne, Kemsley Light Railway that is worth a visit. Unique type of narrow gauge railway that once transported paper. Really good places to visit in Kent. But anyways, cheers, really did enjoy and now going to watch another video. 😀👍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for your suggestions!

[@benembling4027]

Did this in August, it's absolutely insane in the wet, and they only run half the cars to get bigger spaces, also confirmed by a staff member, little braking before the corner doesn't trigger the autobrake

[@WarDeeGuy]

Portmeirion is where the 1960's television show 'The Prisoner' was filmed.

[@DavidAlan.]

try asking for a free ride if you get a slow poke in front of your paid run. it works at the ones near Dollywood USA. they understand.

[@markthomson8205]

Brilliant video. Both places literally just down the road from me. Beautiful part og the world we live in.

[@hollyhs3222]

awesome!! can't wait to go!! I live in North Wales so hopefully I can go very soon!!! :D

[@Patchworkgees]

I live in Llandudno plz say when you next go to the toboggan track!

Yes we've finally got here!!!!!

Thank you Sarah

[@jaimeemeletti1909]

I love zip world!!!! I went on this rollercoaster and the big zip lines, I was terrified on the zip lines, I really gotta stop being scared at heights. 😂😂🤣

[@thomasrooney1997]

When I was was five I watched your videos now I am eight I love them they are awesome good job 😁

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@joyceannlechner6395]

Love these videos! For your information The Prisoner, a 1968 cult classic TV Series, was filmed almost entirely in Portmerion.

[@scottsdaytrips]

Hi Shawn I've not ride on a Toboggan since 1994, before Windsor Safari Park was Closed Down.

[@kevin999kevin2007]

good to see you in Llandudno on toboggan .ther on opening day in 1981? and broke my leg now age 56

[@robturner4895]

You need to go to Portmeirion, it's amazing. The entire TV series 'The Prisoner' was set there so it was a working film set back in the day. Lovely beaches, good food and a beautiful setting to walk around for a few hours with quirky architecture. I reckon you guys would love it!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Would love to visit at some point

[@lewis3062]

Once I actually came off the toboggan as I was going too fast I burned my hand and that's all!Got back on and carried on it was the right hand turn after the first bridge where I came off :)

[@asathomas5390]

They told me that if you break slightly round the corners you will get a better time as the auto breaks tend to stick a little bit.

[@cordeliax8972]

i might be going there in a few weeks i went on one in germany that was so good i've been to bounce below before i wish i'd known about this at the time haha!

[@lewis3062]

Yes! Me and my dad recommended this and so happy you went ! I live 2 minutes away from the toboggan aswell and we went to see you but you just left , we asked staff if you had left aswell. Although we think we seen you on the way to the orme going along the prom. Were you in a silver pergout?

[@lewis3062]

Martin Hopwood We are huge fans so we may aswell try and meet him if he is 2 minutes away. Many people went to meet him also , it was on the radio!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We were indeed, hopefully you will get to meet us next time!

[@aidan7459]

That ski center that you referenced about stoke on trent was the one I used to go to with my school each year in festival park

[@BocksBob]

If you like Alpine Coasters and you are traveling through Germany in September then try planning a few " en route" or better yet drive from Rust ( the little village that is mostly occupied by Europapark) to the Schwarzwald ( Black Forrest, which btw is *not* scary as it is made out to be in Busch Gardens) , there you have a Alpine Coaster of 2,8 km long in the village Todtnau.. from Freiburg to Todtnau you can visit a park named Steinwasenpark whoch also holds an Alpine Coaster aswell a double "sommerrodelbahn" just look it up. I am starting my own Channel here now and a onride of the 2,8 km Alpine coaster will come there in the near future

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I would love to ride some of these across Europe, thanks for sharing the details

[@coastercub71]

More Leah, she's got a wicked giggle !

[@matty_j598]

Was the zip world you went to in Blaenau Ffestiniog

[@flappysmallfish7497]

They add an extra f because that's forest in welsh! if it was just one f it would be pronounced 'vorest' instead of 'forest'.- From a Welsh person

[@kiwi_sodas]

Do they do ones where you can go on it with more than one person? I'm likely never gonna go, I'm just curious.

[@lewis3062]

Keighly W Yes you can have two people depending on the weight of you both. If too heavy you will go extremely fast and it could be dangerous.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Two people can ride depending on the total weight!

[@BlueAxeRacer]

Did one of these in the south of France a few years back, definitely didn't have trim brakes.

[@wn7781]

I've been on speed mountain, the alpine coaster in Les Menuires. It isn't as big but it looks a bit better than this as there were only 7 cars on and there's some crazy airtime pockets.

I think Zip world just launched their zip line in London this summer
