  • 1999 analogue POV on Lethal Weapon Pursuit, a unique steel duelling coaster that operated at Warner Brothers Movie World in Germany between 1996 and 2006. The coaster changed its name to Cop Car Chase, and the park to Movie Park Germany, but this unusual coaster is missed by all lucky enough to have ridden it.

    Alle Jahre wieder schaue ich mir dieses Video an und versinke in nostalgischen Erinnerung an eine längst vergangene Kindheit ;-)

    This was definitely the best ride @Movieworld. Especially with the short film and the little stuntshow before riding. :)

    this was my first looping coaster ever and damn you just gave me a trip down memory lane

    It was a rough ride, but the indoor inversions were spectacular and really well placed for a duelling coaster

      Agreed - for its time it was a very good coaster

    Awesome to find this. I visited WB Movieworld back in de days and remember the entrance was pretty well hidden within the facade. Also visited when WB had left and all effects on the LW Pursuit were disabled. Such a shame. It was a really nice and sharp coaster with the short cars.

      It was a unique ride - shame it closed.

    oh yes, I went on this thing a lot of times when I was a kid. It was very fun.

    Oh yes, that was the best roller coaster in Movie World. With the first Season Pass, we raced 15 times in a row in the evening 😊, until the staff kindly asked us to finally leave the ride😂. It's a pity that the roller coaster no longer exists.😢

    Shame they removed this cool little ride. My father rode this coaster back in the day and he says it was very fun. I wish I could've ridden it :(

      It was indeed fun and unique :-(

    Miss the Warner Bros. Movie World days.. now they replaced nearly all legendary WB rides with some random Theming..
    Even the Gremlins ride!

  • @SeanFlaharty

    Awesome! Thank you for uploading. I have been very curious about this ride for years. By the time I had visited the park for the first time, it had already been removed.

    • @davidjellis
      @davidjellis  8 років тому +6

      +Sean Flaharty Real shame they removed it - was a really good ride!

    • @SeanFlaharty
      @SeanFlaharty 8 років тому +1

      Do you have any idea as to why they removed it? It looked like a fun ride.

    • @davidjellis
      @davidjellis  8 років тому +5

      +Sean Flaharty It was fun...I have seen some comments online that it was removed due to high maintenance costs, but that's the only information I am aware of. Real shame it went.

    • @MrFlightdeckfan
      @MrFlightdeckfan 8 років тому +1

      +davidjellis It was also problematic too.

    • @Coaster-Toaster
      @Coaster-Toaster 8 років тому +4

      +Sean Flaharty I heard that the footers would have been the problem. Wrong materials and building during winter weren´t the best idea. ^^

    Unfortunately for such a great ride this was my first ride ever. I was not ready for it at the time and it pretty much greatly contributed to my fear of roller coasters. 😔
    The following hour or two I spent by myself on the chain carousel that they put up right next to it, while my siblings kept rocking the Cop Car Chase. Great memories regardless, thank you for uploading this 😄👍

    Thank you, for this incredible upload of an incredible coaster! I rode it back in 2005, when it was "Cop Car Chase" and had no burning car etc, but it was so much fun!
    I hope, one day someone will bring out a LWP 2.0

    • @davidjellis
      @davidjellis  2 роки тому +1

      Really pleased you enjoyed it - was a fun ride and real shame it was removed.

    Although I was really young, when I first (and at the same time last) saw that coaster, I still remember how it looked like! I was 6 and wasn't even able to take a ride...so nice to see how it would have been :D thanks for uploading! And if you ever want to visit the park again, I would'nt recommend it anymore... since about 10 years it's called Movie Park, all the liceses on WB are lost and the feeling is gone! Sad story!

    • @davidjellis

      I have visited once since that 1999 trip and agree that a lot of the character went with the WB licenses

  • @ThomasGeelens

    Thanks! This is awesome! Does anybody know if a picture or blueprint of the actual layout is somewhere out there?

    • @davidjellis

      Sorry - I don't know if there is.

    • @itslegiTim

    Awesome Rollercoaster! By the way, I'm making a recreation of this ride in Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 for UA-cam & was wondering if I could use your audio in the video? I'll credit you in both the video & in the Description. :)

    • @davidjellis
      @davidjellis  7 років тому

      Yes, I am happy with that - feel free to use it for that project...it's not the first time my coaster video audio has been used in RCT :-)

    Ich glaube das was mit der Bahn von Anfang an was nicht stimmte..... die war irgendwie immer kaputt! 2003 zum Beispiel fuhr die fast gar nicht und wenn dann nur eine Seite. Mir hat einer damals erzählt, der da gearbeitet hat, dass die Züge Löcher hatten und neue kommen sollten...aber dan kamen die falschen.... ach ja trotzdem eine tolle Bahn! :-(
