a rollercoaster made of knex :d
top 10 rollercoasters in europe. thanks to ratbstard for the pics.
animation of what it would be like to ride a sheet music rollercoaster!
7. the big dipper where: blackpool pleasure beach, lancashire, england cool fact: it's been thrilling riders since 1923 this gem of a wooden rollercoaster has been thrilling park visitors for more than 80 years. most folks who ride the big dipper do it for fun, but others have sought to set world records on this 'coaster, including richard rodriguez, who spent 2,000 hours on the ride in 2000. that's more than three months spent riding up, down and around on a rollercoaster!
10. the big one where: blackpool pleasure beach, lancashire, england cool fact: europe's tallest rollercoaster sheer drops and terrifying twists put the big one right up there with england's elite rollercoasters. the slow climb to the top offers riders an opportunity to soak up the seaside views, and to marvel at the ride-packed pleasure beach below!
2. dragon khan where: port adventura, tarragona, spain cool fact: the only rollercoaster in europe with eight inversions with loops and turns bearing titles such as "cobra roll" and "diving loop," this rollercoaster whips riders around with all the fury and fight of an angry dragon. but for all of its action, dragon khan is a smooth ride that prompts many to laud creators bolliger and mabillard for the finesse and sleekness of its twists and turns.
3. oblivion where: alton towers, staffordshire, england cool fact: the world's first vertical-drop rollercoaster. the heart-stopping oblivion features a groundbreaking 90-foot face-first free-fall. the reclined seats give the sensation of lying flat on one's back as the journey begins up the first steep hill before plummeting facedown into a cavernous, vapor-filled hole in the ground.
4. megafobia where: oakwood theme park, pembrokeshire, wales cool fact: megafobia put wales firmly on the rollercoaster map megafobia is considered europe's best wooden 'coaster. andrew hine, chairman of the roller coaster club of great britain, explains how this ride delivers sensational "air" time and never lets up.
8. shockwave where: drayton manor, staffordshire, england cool fact: europe's only stand-up rollercoaster in 1994, drayton manor stood up to the industry giants by offering shockwave. the £4 million white-knuckle ride of a lifetime whirls passengers to a dizzy height of 120 feet, then swirls them through nearly four times the force of gravity in a series of loops, corkscrews and turns.
9. the poseidon where: europa theme park, rust, germany cool fact: it's a rollercoaster and log flume combined this unique scream machine offers the best of air and water with sharp turns, dramatic dips and the occasional plunge into water. don't worry about getting wet — the poseidon hits the water at such speed that it merely creates a mini tidal wave as 40-foot flumes of water spray up on either side of the car.
1. nemesis where: alton towers, staffordshire, england cool fact: the first inverted rollercoaster built outside the united states nemesis lets your legs dangle and your heart skip a beat with every twist and lurch. as the story goes, an evil monster was angered at alton towers and created a giant hole in the ground — riders swoop over and about this hole and the irate monster chained below. red waterfalls dripping into creepy pools of "blood" heighten the effects of the ride as well as the scenes of wreckage left behind in the monster's path of destruction.
5. thundercoaster where: tusenfryd, oslo, norway cool fact: an old-fashioned 'coaster sprinkled with modern-day technology the thundercoaster is a perfect blend of old-fashioned fun and modern technology. the second drop is enough to make any 'coaster-fan shudder. the train descends in such a way that makes the track seem as if it has disappeared from beneath the car. not to mention that riders spend more time hovering above their seats than they do planted firmly to them, making for a wild, airborne ride.
6. eurostar where: travelling fairs, germany cool fact: this portable 'coaster visits fairs across germany this epic tangle of dark purple track would be a jaw-dropping sight at any theme park, but the very idea that the whole thing is temporary simply catapults the ride over the edge of believability. if that wasn't enough, it also just happens to be one of the most frantic, intense, and exhilarating 'coaster's you could ever wish to ride.
this one is called el condor
some guy hated queuing for rides on roller coasters so much that he built one in his backyard.
something to keep in mind during your next theme park trip :)
those are some serious screams!
watch the death of useless people on a massive scale in this real life rendition of my local theme park joyland, great stuffs.
