Thundercoaster Front Row POV Tusenfryd Vekoma Wooden Roller Coaster
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 кві 2023
- This is one of the few Vekoma wooden coasters ever built, and interestingly enough, runs with Timberliner trains from The Gravity Group! It certainly makes for an odd ride experience- but packed with airtime!

The color of the wood and the beautiful scenery... magical!
What a view!
ONE OF THE SCARIEST ROLLER COASTER IN PARC ASTERX, FRANCE ! ! ! !
ua-cam.com/video/WHYXTkC9V8Y/v-deo.html
it looks like mystic timbers at kings island. almost exactly. i was just there with the colored leaves. i am doing 4 videos of roller coasters this week. one is mystic timbers that looks almost exactly like this and in the forest and leaves look just like this. it is in ohio.
Wonderful to see Thundercoaster so well looked after by Tusenfryd after all these years. I was the engineer that designed the layout for this ride back in 1999 when I worked at Allott and Lomax in the UK. Originally Vekoma were not involved at all in the project - the ride was designed to run with PTC trains and was going to be built a US company called Coaster Works. Vekoma stepped in at the last minute and effectively "bought" the project because they were in the phase where they wanted to be able to offer both steel and wooden coasters to the industry. However, they wanted to use their own trains (naturally) and we were horrified to find out how heavy they were in comparison to the PTC coaches (remember the bulk of the design had been finished!). The other two coasters they did produce from scratch were designed by STAND Engineering in the US, and I remember I had to send them my layout for their review and they were horrified at all the uplift but it was too late to change anything. You've inspired me to make another trip out there to see how it runs nowadays :)
Wow, thank you for sharing! So cool to hear! I had no idea about all that!
Strange question for you. Is that how most of these things work? The coaster companies in contract somebody else to design the coasters and they just control fabricating and the overall process instead of doing it themselves. Or is this just for certain things like with vekona they just went outside for design work for the wooden coasters or is everything that way?
@@arkitect156 Some companies are able to do more in-house than others, but I cannot think of any that have all engineering expertise plus fabrication under one roof - there are usually one or more sub-contractors and/or external engineering company that are used for specific tasks. These tasks can vary from layout/dynamic design, steel/timber engineering, train/brake/drive engineers, control system/electrical engineers etc. There are a number of engineering consultancies that specialize in the industry with the most well know being Ingenieurbüro Stengel GmbH and there are companies that can build heavy track such as CSM in Belgium that both Vekoma and Mack have used, and Stakotra Manufacturing which Intamin uses frequently.
@@robc3304 I’m pretty sure the ride photo originally was at the top of the lift hill can you confirm/expend on this?
my dream job. id give up designing skyscrapers anyday for that
That Autumn view from the airtime hill at 1:03 may be the best view from a rollercoaster ever, it even rivals Wildfire!
That’s probably gonna be my new phone background! It’s so beautiful!!!
Muntanya Russa at Tibidabo left the chat...
@@maxhagenauer24you think everyone knows about it?
I wanna go on a rollercoaster like this during the fall season. That’s an outstanding view ❤
The scenery here is great! I want to ride Wooden Coaster 1 again!
Wooden roller coaster 1 has broken down, hire a mechanic to fix it.
Knew those trains were gravity group ones in a heart beat from the sound
This ride is so fun I would 100% do it again!
wow, never heard of this one - but damn... this has such a unique and fun looking layout, that paired with the scenery makes it look like quite a breathtaking coaster. thanks for sharing. :D
rode it last summer and actually LOVED IT. dont know if i had a good day or if it is always that good but it was a blast
What a great looking ride. These videos are really giving me coaster wanderlust.
Why does this look so
kick-@$$?! It looks freaking awesome!!
Because it is.
@@drdewott9154 Have you ridden it?
@@_coasterhead_ actually yes, I live in Denmark and rode it a few years ago upon a trip I made to Oslo via the daily ferry that goes between Copenhagen and Oslo. Just took the bus from downtown Oslo to the park, spent a few hours there and took it back in time to catch the ferry back home. Thundercoaster was the best coaster in the park imo.
That’s awesome man! It’s a shame I’ve never heard of this ride until one of these vids came along.
I don't care if it's rough but this actually has really good airtime by the looks.
Yeah its a great wooden coaster. Its the perfect amount of rough and sketchy. Not enough to make it uncomfortable, just right to make it feel out of control and raggedy.
@@drdewott9154 I find it's a tad too fast when fully loaded in the rain. It won't kill you, but maybe steer clear if you have back problems.
Great ride along….love the posted details on the initial climb….looks like a fun ride! Thanks for the post. 👍🏻😎
Reminds me of The Pippin at the Mid-South Fairgrounds in Memphis, TN back in the '60s. Great wooden coaster with lots of hills. The entire coaster was relocated to Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, WI in 2010. I'm sure many more generations will learn to love this extraordinary ride.
Oh this is way larger than the Zippin Pippin. But the creators of this channel have actually ridden the recreated Zippin Pippin in Green Bay and done some videos about it. Mostly a modest ride for modern standard except for one singular super sharp hill.
It looks like a fun ride!
That is a beautiful ride in a beautiful setting at a beautiful time of year. Lovely.
I’m all for woodies. But hearing that rattling metal sound from the train would make me think “Is this going to break at some point?”
Its pretty standard for Timberliner trains, which this ride got in 2015.
I live in norway and has taken this ride up through the years. I remember them changing the cart/train at some point and I honestly thing the ride is ruined. It does not run smoothly anymore, it only shakes extremely much and it even hurts sometimes. Its really sad as it used to be my favorite. Many of my friends agree too.
Thx for the ride!
It looks a lot smoother now, compared to what it did before the latest re-tracking. Almost like it did when it was brand new, back in 2001.
I still remember it like it was yesterday, the ride experience was great. It made me really enjoy rollercoasters, being my first experience with one. I remember the fresh smell of wood in its opening year. Combined with the great views of the park, it really had a good impression on me, and I rode it two times that day, since the queue was rather long (this was in the prime season on a nice sunny day). I came back in 2003, and the experience was still as good as I recall from two years prior.
I really need to go back there soon and ride again, to get a real comparison between the new and old trains.
Fun fact: The tunnel over the second drop was not present during the coaster's early years of operation, so you got to experience the drop in the open. Some turns has a higher banking than the original, which featured much stronger lateral forces.
This thing looks amazing
Nice and smooth ride for a woodie!
Great layout.
Getting to go on this myself on Saturday!
I used to be a big coaster rider when I was a teen and young adult. My body can't handle the crazy ones anymore. This one would be perfect though. Beautiful!
Maybe or maybe not. I've ridden Thundercoaster and its a shaky ride. Thankfully not enough to be uncomfortable, but still enough to warrant a warning first. This thing will rattle you about and make you feel like its out of control as the train bounces down the track at high speed. Plus it still has some pretty intense G-forces for a wooden roller coaster.
Great layout!
Wow very cool 😊👍
Fantastic x
I'd love to ride this just to say I've been on all three Vekoma woodies. This one certainly looks the most ambitious of the three. I do wonder what the Timberliners do for it. Loup-Garou tracks horribly but at least the trains are well padded.
Looks wicked. Airtime machine.
Final brake run hits hard
I was on this like 1 or 2 years ago and it was so crazy
Thank you much for the great ride!!! No unnecessary screaming, trivial comments and/or ludicrous chitchat!!! Like being there in person!!! Way to go!
Looks like an awesome back row ride!
Wow this coaster gives a big kick
great lookin ride, amazed that vekoma made a woody, only saw one rough spot though so great for a wooden and looks just so fun
Vekoma has actually made 3woodies: Thundercoaster (best of the 3 IMO), Loup-Garou at Walibi Belguim, and Robin Hood at Walibi Holland, which was RMC’d into Konda.
@@jjmailmanUntamed not Kondaa....
@@Tarantula7Tom oops… yeah - Untamed. Sorry.
Would def recommend
why does it looks so smooth.
Because the footage has been stabilised. This coaster is not smooth.
Vekoma…. Woood…. I’m so confused but it looks amazing.
theme park: *builds wooden rollercoaster*
the match i left burning: Feliz Navidad
The chain lift sound 😮💨
It looks like an even blend of GCI and GG! I wonder if it’s smooth!
Omaigad it's so funny and i like it
What Mystic Timbers what’s to be when it grows up.
I tried this the other day. I just keep on screaming haha so intense but cool
I have never seen this coaster before. The layout looks amazing. I love a good terrain woodie. Don’t really see Vekoma woodies that much either. Was it rough?
It is very rough but it’s still fun
The high stabilization makes it look like footage from a drone flying above the train. Not complaining, much rather see this than cameras at track level or speed lines...
Because it’s a bit of a rougher ride, if we didn’t use as much stabilization, it would make the pov harder to watch.
Have you ridden this coaster "Pre-Timberliners?" I always loved the setting and look of this coaster. I love the layout and the length. Is there a coaster in the US that you'd compare to this one? Great Video.
We've only ridden it with the Timberliners
I have never ridden it, but it kind of reminds me of the Beast for some reason, with better pacing.
Cool
fairly sure this same rollercoaster is at Knoebel's in PA. Been on it loads of times to recognize the drops!
Nah it ain't. But I think I know what you mean. You're probably thinking of "Twister". Twister is actually older than Thundercoaster by a few years but also features several notable changes.
@@drdewott9154 it feels so reminiscent! It's been years since I last rode the Twister but it felt much the same. I'd love to ride this one.
Why can't we have beautiful looking scenery with our coasters in the US? That woody looks magical.
well I think there is an attitude difference between European parks and US parks.
Green Lantern at Great Adventure is up there. 🫥😏😒🤭😂
Try Busch Gardens Williamsburg or Knoebels.
Everyone gangsta until the termites come out
looks like mystic timbers kings island almost.
👏
Where should u sit if ur going on it?
Pretty tame by today's standards, but still looks fun
can you make an onride POV (Rider Cam POV) Taylor with his friends riding Lighting Rod pls
So is it Two-sin-ford or Two-sin-freed? Because I’ve heard both.
Lets gooo
the best part was the tunnel!
Btw it is in NORWAY
And they fixed the riketinus
I love the airtime but the timberliner trains make the coaster rough to the point of being unenjoyable. Would love to see a retrack and new trains because it relaly is a powerhouse, just unfortunately far too rough.
Could be a nice RMC
REVIEW IT PLEASE
Eventually there will be a review, yes!
I WANTNT RIDE THEIS ROLLLER OCASTER RIGHT NOW IN APUSH CLASS ITH MR MACALE
Do I sound crazy if I say this looks better than a GCI? The airtime definitely looks better.
It depends. Ive not ridden particularly many wooden coasters and only 1 CGI, that being Joris en de draak at Efteling, but I will say GCI seems to primarily focus on small sudden pops of airtime, which is certainly great, but this has some really solid hills. Not every single one is a big hitter but its really good overall.
I believe this is the worlds most northernmost roller coaster ! Don’t know about storm though.
It’s not true, there is more roller coasters in the north, for example hunderfossen in Lillehammer or roller coasters in Helsinki
Where is this place Taylor??? If the pov is any indication this looks like a really good traditional wood coaster... It actually looks glossy smooth... For wood anyway
I wouldn’t say it was glossy smooth, but definitely have done rougher. Not bad at all!
@@CoasterStudios Right... its hard to tell just from a POV.. but it looked a lot smoother than I would have expected.
@@Frankenberry 1 year later, I'll answer your question. It's in Tusenfryd, Norway.
@@whiteshadow7557 😂 Better late than never lol.
@@Frankenberry fr😆
BUCKET LIST BUCKET LIST BUCKET LIST!!!!
IT’S AMAZING BUT A LITTLE ROUGH
Looks fun, what's your favorite coaster?
I’m a new enthusiast so I haven’t been to many parks, but either Fury 325 or Steel Vengeance, but I have a trip to Bush Gardens Tampa next year planned, so it might change.
@@calebsheehan9215 Hey... he didn't ask you
@@coastaku1954 nobody asked you to comment either
@@GoudLoodje No one asked you to comment also
@@GoudLoodje may you please comment good sir?
YOOO
Is it true the airtime is good?
Yeah!
Really sounds like it needs a bit of grease
T3 is gone, no more leg pain while inverting.
I just hope they replace quickly with something good.. we don't have many coasters at ky kingdom anyway. I think a raptor would be perfect for the plot and the park.
WHAT DOES T3 MEAN?!?!?
@@noileyys2249 Terror to the 3rd power... Its the piece of crap 1995 Vekoma SLC at Kentucky Kingdom that just got retired a couple days ago
1:52
RMC: * knock * * knock * I see this can be a potential upgrade.
Looks like the second hill is bigger than the first hill ya?
Yes and the airtime is insane
In Norway
That first airtime hill....
It was so scary that i couldn’t even scream the last time i rode it
Why the heck would they install lights in the tunnels? Isn’t the point of tunnels to be dark! Ha
Am I the only one who has pretty much never rode what he rode before-
Who put his kid in a basket and roll it front of the TV😂
😂😂😂🎉
GUYS T3 IS GETTING REMOVED
WHAT DOES T3 MEAN?!?!?
ah heeeelllllllll nah
i have the 1st like on comment
Rode this yesterday and sorry but I'm really not a fan. Horribly rough 🤮
thumbnail looked fake 😮
Packed with airtime? With ratcheting lapbars…there is no such thing as airtime
