Really makes you think
Crocaulu Ikr
The theming was pretty cool, but the ride itself was boring
Going to stealth
Coaster bot: "Hopefully we get near the back"
Gets 1st row 😂😂😂
The best two rows are the front and back, so I was more than happy to sit on the 1st row! :)
@@coasterbot I think the same when it comes to ride accelerators.
I sat at the VERY back row of Stealth but when I go to Thorpe Park again, I might choose the front
I mean when is the middle ever good?
At least it wasn't row 6!
In the U.K. We have theming and inversions but in the USA they have RMC
Well, WildFire, Robin Hood RMC, the RMC that is coming to Energylandia and the weerwolf RMC rumors.
Bluedragon967 Are there rumors of a weerwolf RMC?
Aaron's Themepark World those aren’t in the uk
The US has both
alton towers should of got a rmc i think
Drink every time taylor says whatnot
and “thumbs up” too lol
Dangerous game, that
Not in the mood for getting tipsy
You actually have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this
I hope it didn't disappoint!
What was there favourite UK park and how did the rank it compared with the European ones?

Smashing vlog, American ethusiasts need to learn its not all about how many giga coasters and strata coasters their parks have. Uk has some amazing rides.
Thank you very much! The UK definitely has some fantastic rides :)
@@coasterbot What is your top 5?
Hmm.. let's be honest here. Our rides/parks are pretty crap compared to the ones in the US, with the exception of Nemesis.
Stealth is literally a mini strata coaster
Epicnerd73 everybody who went to Alton towers 10 years ago and still are biased that nemesis is the most amazing ride in Britain, what about smiler, wickerman, thirteen, swarm just to list a few
very good video Toaster Bot
Thanks very much! :)
Yeah well done Loki tops I loved toaster bots vid
@@ravinglunatic7773 lol 😂
Your vlogs are getting better and better dude!
Thank you, it means a lot! :)
Thorpe has this industrial vibe to it and that’s why I think this park looks awesome
The thumbnail left me *speechless* 💯🙃 -sorry guys I need to shut myself up-
I've only been to Cedar Point (CPGang!), and Kennywood. Thanks for the little tour of Thorpy Lorp!
Overkill those are my home parks lol I live pretty much in between.
S a m e
Thank you Coaster Bot, very cool!
No problem, thanks for watching! :)
I was hoping this was going to pop up at some point :). Really enjoyable watch, and nice to see everyone enjoying what Thorpe has to offer.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! :)
Great vlog .... love Thorpe Park . Swarm ...amazing but too short and miss the 2 rear facing rows and Derraen Browns ghost train is a definite code brown😵🤣🤣
Thank you, that's great to hear :)
My top 5
5. The walking dead the ride
4. Ghost train
3. Saw the ride
2. Nemesis inferno
1. Stealth
Brod Brod Swarm?
TheEpicWalrus very forceless imo
@@coastersnaps Me too, but I wouldn't put it under WD:TR
TheEpicWalrus no me neither I would put it fourth
For me:
5) SAW: The Ride
4) Nemesis Inferno
3) Stealth
2) The Swarm
1) Flying Fish
These videos are so wholesome I love it
Where’s the entrance to saw? I wanted to ride it, but only saw the ride because I couldn’t find the queue
Walk past the drop of the ride, and past the small shop, you'll see a sign that say's "Saw: The Ride". To the right of that there's the entrance. It's on the left hand side of the big building.
You *saw* the ride
I went today for fright nights, was so quiet and got on every coaster twice and got every maze done. Did all the flats too. Swarm was down all day tho which was a minus.
Sounds like a great day, minus the swarm of course
@@coasterbot it was indeed. The Swarm is apprently closed for the rest of the year now.
Footage looks amazing my friend!
Thanks Adam! :)
You, Taylor, and Logan are the best youtubers
Thank you, that means a lot! :)
So hyped for fright nights. Doing it for my first time next week.
Awesome, enjoy! :)
Ok this is epic 😎
That was a very fun day!One of the best theme Park experiences I ever had!
It was a fantastic day! :)
"A wild Taylor bybee films Rolley Coasters" sounds like the majority of his channel to be honest XD
What camera do you use? Your shots are beautiful!
Thank you, I use a Panasonic Lumix G7 :)
COASTER BOT you're welcome! Thanks for the response. One more question, what lenses do you have or do you just use the stock lense?
@@AdventuresWithAlex I use the stock 14-42mm lens right now :)
Excellent Production!
Thank you! :)
Watched this so many times, Great Vlog Harry. Can’t wait to see the bike challenge.
Thank you very much! We can't wait for the bike challenge either! :)
That was a really good feel-good vlog!
Thanks, I'm glad you thought so! :)
Good video with Taylor and Logan! 👍🏻
Thanks! :)
Is Taylor and Logan drunk :’)? The Walking Dead Ride theming is nothing special, much prefer the dubstep pyramid!
ha ha who doesn't love a dubstep pyramid! ;)
9:23 - Who else wasn’t paying attention to Harry & instead paying attention to them claw machines? 😂
Literally only you my dude ;)
*Americans are invading Thorpe park*
"I about jumped out of my pants" well thank you for staying in them, Logan’s dad, all our eyes appreciate it 👍
Harry what music did you use for the intro cinematic?
The links to all of the music used within the video can be found at the bottom of the description :)
COASTER BOT Thanks. If only I saw the notification. I never knew you replied lol
1-stealth
2-saw
3-swarm
4-colossus
5-ghost train
Fair enough! I love Saw the most out of the coasters the most :)
@@coasterbot saw is a very good coaster, just prefer stealth because I love a launch
@@coasterbot changes a lot since then😂 now it's smiler nemesis stealth wickerman oblivion
I went to the themepark last night
Us brits LOVE queing NOT....
But i loved stealth most it felt like it slowed down at the top and the veiw at night was amazing..
Just the queuing and the cold ain't....
You should go during the night time during halloween events as its fright night
And there are actors walking round like vampires and zombies
etc...
What i hate most with that park is that the exiting.
If you don't have a premium annual pass you have to pay an extra £10 just to get out
Swarm was the first rollercoaster I went on... started off real easy huh :3
The Swarm is a great coaster to start with to be fair! :)
Fair enough My friend was screaming her head off and she had been on loads of roller coasters before and theres me posing the whole ride cuz idk where the picture is so....
I do enjoy Thorpe park when I go good vlog
Great to hear, and thank you :)
Is The Swarm still Zoe's favorite roller coaster?
Not anymore, it's now Helix at Liseberg! :)
COASTER BOT oh wow ok
Top 7 Coasters:
7) Flying Fish
6) Colossus
5) X (Haven't ridden Walking Dead)
4) Nemesis Inferno
3) SAW- the Ride
2) Stealth
1) Swarm
I really like thorpe park its got a really chilled and laid back environment to it and rides are pretty good not the best but still good! Still waiting for the re theme of old town with a decently sized RMC. For me if they did that thorpe park could start maybe earning its title back as the thrill capital of the uk as long as they keep making the right investments on good rides and not just the worlds firsts that Merlin are always trying to get.
It is a nice place. As you said, it needs some focused investment and it'll be back in form. Hopefully we'll see this happen over the next few years :)
alton towers getting an RMC
Are they really though? I'm pretty sure that Burton and his RMC cup was just a little joke! 🤣
Interesting to hear how much the group loved Darren Brown’s Ghost Train. I haven’t ridden it, but I’ve heard quite a few Brits dismiss it as lame.
In its first season it was super-lame, but they made a LOT of changes and I think most people seem to like it now
Marcus Amazing that renovations could turn a dark ride from the butt of jokes to the favorite ride at the park for a group of visitors.
It wasn't super lame the first season, but it lacked something. The following seasons it has been fantastic when you get a smooth run! :)
I hate it. I think its because I have VR at home I have become de-sensitized to it. It doesn't scare me at all. Just one massive snooze fest.
I always wished I could ride a Wing Coaster, they look so good :)
They are very good! Hopefully you get the chance to ride one in the future :)
I recommend Gatekeeper for your first. It isn't much for intensity, but I will say it's quite fun, especially the keyhole element.. Not nearly as good as Swarm, but nevertheless, a good first.
thanks for the reply coaster bot, i love the content. as for gatekeeper, if one day i ever get the chance to ride it. you see i live in brazil so if i wanna ride any half-decent coaster i have to travel, and going all the way to ohio doesnt look all that likely for me in the near future. id love to see one in california as that is a potential destination i could have in the near future, perhaps magic mountain or discovery kingdom could open one? who knows. the problem isnt really the intensity ngl, its more about the opportunity. but i appreciate the input from both :)
I have one at my home park and they are very fun
Literally went for the first time two days ago. Queues were massive, but I still got rides on the main five coasters, I even got re-rides on Swarm, Stealth and Saw! My ranking would probably be (from worst to best): Nemesis Inferno, Colossus, The Swarm, Saw, Stealth. Inferno was obviously still good (not as good as the OG Nemesis, don’t @ me) but it was the worst of a great bunch in my opinion. Colossus I really enjoyed in second row, I feel like a ride in the back row would put it above Swarm, but I only rode it once. I also got a very smooth ride, though I did keep my head forward, but overall very underrated. I was very lucky with The Swarm in that I got two rides, one at the front and one at the very back. At the front it was amazing, at the back it was insane, way more intense than I expected, great theming, but the length lets it down a little bit. Overall, very good. I know it’s very controversial putting Saw above Swarm, but hear me out; the theming is amazing, definitely the best in the park, if not in the country. The indoor section blew me away, might be the best part of the ride in my opinion. And the outdoor section is great too, what with the drop and the airtime, and sure it’s a bit rough, but just keep your head forward and you’ll be absolutely fine. Overall, amazing. And finally, Stealth. This ride is phenomenal. The feeling, the acceleration, the airtime, the joy I felt having conquered one of the fastest rides in Europe, it all comes together to create a breath-taking experience like no other. And I haven’t even ridden it in the front 😏
Amazing and well edited vlog like always 👌👌👌👌
Thank you, it means a lot! :)
“And what not” -Tyler Bumblebee
I am absolutely flabbergasted that people like Derren Brown's Ghost Train. But...that's opinions. It is FASCINATIG that some people can say its one of the best dark rides out there, and some (me) say its one of the worst. Crazy times. Superb vid, keep it up.
Michael Jamieson Comedy personally i like it but i’m easily scared, i can see why people wouldn’t. I definitely agree that it’s sort of less than the sum of its parts if you know what I mean?
I don’t get DBGT either, don’t like it, doesn’t scare me... But I have to admit that it is very, very original, and well executed. So for that reason alone, in an industry where there is not currently as much real innovation as we like to think, it has to be appreciated.
I think DBGT was ruined by people's previous bad experiences. If you get a smooth run on it the ride is fantastic. Fortunately for the Americans they got a near perfect run first time, hence why they love it.
@@coasterbot What happens on a perfect run through? When I went on it;
- VR not good enough quality to feel immersive.
- Hand grabbing on leg felt like a hand on my leg.
- Pacing awful.
- Randomly leave the ride to walk into a nothing zone, killing atmosphere and leaving confusion.
Fake ending is cool! I like the originality but I'm not convinced it's been well executed.
4:06 Ayyy Theme Park Worldwide on UA-cam check it out!
When do you think you will do a U.S. coaster tour?
I'm not sure, but I would like to visit the States to both see the country and ride roller coasters in the future :)
@@coasterbot Some good places to see on the east coast are Boston, New York City, Washington DC, Williamsburg VA, and Charlotte.
Did you do these style vlogs with the american guys at alton and blackpool also? hope so
We did, stay tuned for those! :)
We stan Taylor, Logan,and Jeff.
Too kind ;)
COASTER BOT thanks for answering my questions on coaster lounge today and bullying me for getting a no boo necklace
No problem, sorry about the bullying! ;)
COASTER BOT no need for the apology, I thought it was hilarious
Holy crap, just realised, is that coaster studios?
Captain Smash Yep, that’s Taylor from CS. Is this a joke?
@@pasta692 no, I just honestly didn't realise
Holy crap, just realised, is that Theme Park Worldwide?
Omg, are you coaster Studios? You have to meet my family
If you got that reference you’re genuinely a good person
RPB101 : on UA-cam?
im in the camo hat at the start :)
JZWS Conquered.
Hi were at Thorpe Park
Editing-wise, I think this is your best vlog yet. Your improvement is real and very impressive! I think you manage very well the balance between polishing an almost 'professional' montage while keeping the good cheerfulness of a park vlog with relatable pals.
In particular, I was impressed with the in media res opening with the shot of Stealth, the subtle L-cut at 2:04 with Saw, or also the cut transition to Taylor filming at 5:23 - which adds real dynamics and breaks the otherwise monotonous sequence of successive jump cuts of Nemmie Inferno. Those are subtle, but thoughtful editing choices... nice job!
Some nit-picky feedback as per usual:
- I would suggest looking for different background music for future Vlogs. The ones you used for this one are fine... but feel so generic as well. It's the kind of typical 'electro/feel-good-ish' tune quite wisespread on UA-cam and Creative Commons music resources (and even Epidemic sound to some extent). To be fair, finding afforable, distinctive and fresh music that stands out is actually quite challenging as I found myself, but I sincerely think it's worth the extra effort :)
- Keep experimenting different shots as you are already doing very well! I noticed you use jump cuts rather frequently - why not trying different techniques like timelapses (very time-consuming) or speed ramps for a change? They're gimmicks requiring sparse use, but with the right context might add a nice touch.
- This is more of a personal opinion, but what about inserting clips to illustrate while you or other UA-camrs/enthusiasts are talking to the camera? It's really a matter of show, don't tell and finding the balance between being relatable with recognizable faces, but also not being too distracting from (I think) the rides and coasters, the true stars of the vlog.
Anyway great job again. It's very inspiring to watch your undeniable progression and your work shows much of the creative potential left in the overused vlog format :)
Damn, fair enough, I didn't like this vlog that much ha ha. I think it'll always be the aim to balance polish with 'playfulness'. I'm not aiming to be super profession with these, but just create a well edited video with personality and coherence.
The music is always a weak point of mine as I have literally no background in audio at all. I use extremely specific pieces of audio for the vlogs because due to the nature of the format they have to:
- have a point at which the beat drops
- a mellow tempo meaning a huge number of cuts don't need to be made to fit the music
- I also *sometimes* try to tailor audio to parks but that's pretty hard
Timelapses are cool but we are never stationary for enough time to record a decent one. Speed ramps are a good idea!
I think the final point would take the video away from being a vlog. If you intersect too many b-roll sections I feel like it becomes more of a review than something that you are watching for the personality and reactions of various people. Maybe that's just me though.
Thanks, as per usual, for the feedback and kind words :)
Is Zoe’s favorite coaster still the Swarm
No, it's now Helix at Liseberg! :)
Good vid
Thanks!
COASTER BOT wow you reply 😂😂 I didn’t know. I am a bit fan :)
Really good video, I live in UK and I have only visited Alton Towers and it was one of the best days of my life🔥
Thank you! Alton Towers is fantastic, I am glad you had a good time there :)
COASTER BOT ye, I’m only 13 and I live in Scotland and I don’t get to go to many theme parks even though I absolutely love them, I went to Alton towers with my scouts and we are going again in September 2019, I have only been to Alton Towers and M&D’s
I hope you enjoy your next visit! :)
Man Taylor why weren’t you at kings dominion for the Halloween scare last night I was there hoping to meet you. Edit I commented on the wrong channel
RIP :(
I did saw for the first time on the preview event for the fright nights
First time for everything
Awesome, what did you think of the park? :)
Saw the ride was good and the mazes, once you get used to them its really good especially platform 15
When are you going to Blackpool
The Blackpool Vlog will come out in just over a month :)
did you not go for fright nights?
Unfortunately we didn't. I've never been to Fright Nights but would love to next year!
If you could go on any roller coaster what one would you go on I would go on a B&M or RMC
I'd probably want to ride Karnan at Hansa Park right now! :)
Quality vlog 👍
Thank you! :)
I find it weird how people older than me haven’t gone on these rides, I literally went on collosus, nemesis inferno, stealth and swarm when I was 8. I was a very tall kid, but also a thrill seeeker
Great vlog 👌
Thank you :)
Very Cool! Thorpe is the best park ever!
Thorpe is good but would be better with more quality T.Heming
when will we get a brexit rollercoaster you reckon?
oh wait were already on one and its crashed
Heming Productions when Darren Browns Ghost Train, Colossus, I’m a Celebrity, and Saw exist...
Cedar Point USA better than Thorpe park, Alton towers and Blackpool ive been all those parks cedar point the best
Kind of an off topic question, but
Why is Harry's neck so long?
I've evolved to ride roller coasters without the headbanging. My long necc ensures my head is outside of the restraint :)
@@coasterbot that's pretty smart
Stealth is a good ride but the restraints ruin it for me. Usually if i sit forward i still get stapled on the launch I would happily say this is one of the best rides at the park if it had lap bars.
It would be incredible with lap bars!
Really? Stealth is the ride you have restraint problems with? The restraints on the Swarm seriously ruined the ride for me. It made it so that I didn't even feel the forces but instead only the pain on my legs and my chest. But then again I had the same problem on the wing coaster at Heide park... I just hope it won't be the same the day I ride Valkyria at Liseberg cause' If the restraints on that are uncomfortable after it replaced one of my all time favorite coasters, my god I'll slap that bloody wanker who thought those restraints were a good idea. Sorry for going so much into a tangent though
i hate the restraints on colossus they push down on my legs to much
Arron brooks other than the i305 restraints intamin otsr usually aren’t that comfortable
When to expect the Alton towers one?
4 weeks today! Sorry it's ages away but it all takes time and I am back at university now so I have other commitments also
The problem with US enthusiasts is that they don’t appreciate u.k coasters for what they are. Like just because we don’t have massive hyper coasters because the government forbids it, doesn’t mean we don’t have amazing rides
Not all rides have to be tall to be great, I couldn't agree more! :)
Hi, we're at Thorpe Park.
Yes
Kinda miffed that the one time I went to Thorpe park I got sick on the bus. Didn’t go on any rides :(((.
That's unfortunate. Hopefully you can visit again soon!
My top 5:
5: The Walking Dead: The Ride
4: The Swarm
3: Nemesis Inferno
2: Stealth
1: Saw: The Ride
Who else agrees? Leave your opinions 😂
1:27 shoulda saw that coming Kappa
YEEEESSS
I actually want to become like you guys
Please come to dreamland Margate
I really do hope to at some point in the future, hopefully next year! :)
I think I’ve never heard Colossus and not rough in the same sentence
Literally
Love your videos and always a joy to watch. Just wanted to give you some constructive criticism: the music in the background could benefit from being turned down when you speak. Otherwise really enjoyed it! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Ross, it means a lot! Could you give me an example of the time stamp at which the music is too loud? I really appreciate the feedback :)
What makes SAW so good? I’ve heard that it’s pretty painful.
Theming, drop, secret drop, food mid-queue line, trim less brake run, photogenic ride, vegetation. If your only put off by the fact it’s getting rough that happens to all gerstlauers these days
House of Wolves I’m not put off by Rough Gerstlauers, The Smiler is one of my favs, that is just what I’ve heard from people, I’m going to Thorpe in week so I will be able to experience it for myself
Saw back row is a fantastic coaster as most of the roughness is removed. I just really enjoy everything about it, from the theme, to the ejector, and even the extremely snappy dive loop!
Are you doing an “Intamin” explained? 🎢🎡
We hope to one day :)
I can’t wait 😀
When he says the walking dead has good themeing it shows that he is American as they never have themeing in America
4.04 my brother completed the pig ladder after 3 / 4
0.16 that kid pretty sure seen him in Cedar Point on UA-cam
You probably have, he's Logan from Koaster Kids! :)
@@coasterbot I only seen him on youtube never real life
wheres the alton towers vlog
Great question, it arrives tomorrow!
Wait, Taylor didnt know something about a ride??? Heresy!!!
My opinions
Colosuss = Headache/Headbanger
Saw = Long Queue
Stealth = Never Ridden
Walking Dead = Never Ridden
Nemesis Inferno = Good
Swarm = Long but good queue and ride ( Nice Snug Restraints ) ( But the word hell isn't there on the Flight To Paradise Sign ) ( But my head was chopped off on the photo )
All others = Haven't done ( But the ghost train was 100 min queue after 3 mins of open )
Always run to SAW when you arrive and the park opens to get on quickly... then queue again...
Only 8 people per carriage makes it a long wait...
UK Rollercoasters
The British: mate these are mental!
The Americans: 😑
But the theming, it's all about the theming ;)
@@coasterbot Oh yeah definitely, most American coasters go for bigger and better whereas here it's like storytelling, whether it's a British apocalypse from giant flying insects, a psychological compound that forces you to smile or being taken by a cult to be sacrificed to a wooden statue. I say most American coasters, there are a few exceptions.
American coasters are bigger but boring af. Look at millennium force
Thorpe park is good but I wouldn’t say it is as good as Cadbury world
Cadbury World doesn't have roller coasters though does it? ;)
"Whatnot"
Bye, I'm From Alton Towers
(opposite of Hi, We're at Thorpe Park)
❤
Sometimes there can be 1 actor in saw dueing Halloween but that’s it
Xcellerator is the same height as stealth 😂
Indeed it is!
@@coasterbot but xcellerator is probably better due to the layout after it
this is my creative comment
At least you tried
its the thought that counts, or the in this situation... the lack of it.
Yes and what not.
👌
LMAO, I was eating and thought of that vid where that guy vomited all over his daughter.
