Extereme Rollercoasters, even I wouldn't ride - GoFuckYourself.com

RedShoe · 10-07-2002, 12:17 PM

I love rollercoasters. When I was a kid I liked the big ass pipe coasters, they were smooth, big, many loops, big swoops, lots of G's, upside down, above the track, below the track, hanging, sitting, standing. I loved them all. But in time they became boring, it's the same loops, the same high drops... they suck now.

I've reverted to the old wooden coasters. There is one at Knott's Berry Farm that if you sit in the back I swear it feels like you're going to fly out.

Check out these extreme coasters.
These were so bad ass people would actually die on them. Can you imagine going to a theme pasrk, AND DYING?!?! Holy shit.

This one is described as:

1902-1907
The ride was dubbed the Cannon Coaster when it was built because the designers attempted to have the cars leap over a gap in the tracks. At its apex it entered the breech of a large wooden cannon and as it passed through its bore, it accelerated downward. As it shot out of the cannon's mouth it was supposed to leap a gap in the tracks. They tested the idea with sandbags instead of people, but it didn't work because variations in the passenger's weight or uneven loads sometimes caused crashes. They filled in the gap in this boring ride, but it still drew crowds because stories still circulated of innumerable casualties during its gap-in-the-track test runs. It certainly survived the 1907 Steeplechase fire that burned much of the Bowery.

There is another one (no pics) but it is described as:
5.) Flip Flap Railway (1895 - 1902)

It was a very innovative ride as it was the first to flip passengers upside down through a small 25 foot diameter loop. Cars that seated two passengers descended from a high lift hill and sped through a vertical loop. Centrifugal force held the car to the track at the top of the loop. The ride had one flaw as its abrupt high G-forces in its circular loop sometimes snapped passenger's necks

HAAAA!!! Great ride, the only small flaw is that it can shatter your spinal column, be sure to keep arms and legs inside the cart folks.

When I was a kid... oh back in 1970... my family used to take us to Crystal Beach amusement park.

The Comet was at that time one of the biggest coasters in the world. A few people died on it. There was only one lap-bar to keep you in the car, but some people would open it somehow and stand as the cars plummeted.

As you can see, it was constructed right against the waters of Lake Erie.

Before the Comet, there was the Cyclone...
