    The sketchiest coaster in Orlando is definitely VelociCoaster. I hear they built it in a pen full of angry dinosaurs.

      Honestly, E&F Miler’s aren’t too sketchy to me. They’re pretty well put together(watching footage of Screamer at Scandia, you can see that even at moments of high lateral force, the structure doesn’t sway at all, the track has lots of cross-ties, and it operated for its entire 24-year existence with no incidents) and they’re built right here in ‘Merica!

    That roller coaster looks like the former Star Jet that was in Seaside Heights. It was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. Strange that the name of this coaster is Hurricane and is the same model as the one in NJ.

    • @Stuntpilot22
      @Stuntpilot22 2 роки тому +4

      It's a mirror image of Star Jet. First started at the defunct Celebration City as Jack Rabbit, then moved parks a couple times, including a brief period in storage at Fun Spot Atlanta.

    • @alexlents4689
      @alexlents4689 2 роки тому +4

      Both were built by E&F Miler, who also built the Screamer that use to be at Scandia Ontario. I hear they’re Hi-Milers (like Screamer and Hurricane) are awesome!

    Just got on this for the first time yesterday. I was left speechless.... I have an artsy picture of the ruined Seaside Star Jet on my wall at home but never got to ride it pre-Sandy, so this was a special treat. The most hilarious part, to add to the jankiness, was that there was a single ride operator handling every ride in the Old Town section at once, and I had to wait for him to be done running another ride to come over and let me on Hurricane. Definitely a first!

    Got to ride this back when it operated at Celebration City in Branson, MO. In fact, it was the very first coaster I had ever rode. Despite being super young, I still vividly remember just how jank this ride is. It's wonderfully awful.

  • @LordLaroyalty
    @LordLaroyalty 11 місяців тому

    I grew up on this exact ride back when it was at Celebration City in Branson, before it closed. This ride got me ready for other rides. This ride never felt like it would fall apart, to me. It definately felt different from other coasters, though and the seats and lapbars were pretty uncomfortable, especially with no leg room. If you think this is jerky, you don't know the definition of jerky. This is nothing compared to some Arrow Dynamics Runaway Mine Train Coasters! I LOVED this coaster as a kid and I miss it so much! So much that I've been planning a trip to Florida almost my whole life to ride it again. I'm glad that it still has a life somewhere and others are enjoying it!
    Also, I've ridden some sketchy coasters in my life and this doesn't even compare to those at carnivals and State Fairs.

As a kid I loved it and thought it was experimental in doing something crazy no other rides do. Now I can only help to think if it was even a good idea as other rides that did turns like that have slowly closed over the years

    Wild Adventures removed that coaster because they thought it was going to structurally fail from all the constant vibration transmitted throughout the steel structure. Fun Spot is like: Whatev. There are 80 year old wooden coasters with more structural rigidity that this thing.

      we planned to ride it in January, because that was what we promised, but we got so busy with people in town and things going on that our plan to do it kept on getting pushed back to the point where we missed our original target time frame. After that, we were off on different trips, and it started warming up again that it kind of defeated the purpose of doing the original challenge we said we would. We feel terrible, and still plan to do it at some point, but it might not be till later this year when it starts to get cold again.
