9:28 Can confirm there are NO inversions on the Backety-Back. Small graphic mistake that I didn't think was worth re-rendering over. if it said something like 1,000, then I would have re-rendered it 😅😅. It's "unlisted" because I didn't list it.

Ah!! It was one of my fav Hersheypark rides when i was younger. I dont even step into the Boardwalk area unless its for the christmas tree walk during Candylanes. Such a waste to remove it for a derpy play area. Oh well lol
@@Wicked_Fox If you thought it was going to be Sky Rush of course you’d be disappointed but it was a great ride for what it was designed to be. Too bad you weren’t able to enjoy it like everyone else.
It was always amazing how even if certain coaster models dont exist anymore or never properly developed, they were most likely in the rollercoaster tycoon games.
My first thought about the Bowl's of Fun coaster was "Wow that seems kinda cool, I wonder why it didn't catch on"... And immediately answered with endless mechanical failure. RIp.
I remember finding out Linear Gale existed and decided to add it to my planet coaster park as if I relocated the ride, pretty interesting addition to my park.
15:49 I absolutely LOVE Phineas and Ferb! I actually met both of them at Hollywood Studios back in December for their Christmas party, Jollywood Nights, and it was one of the most magical character interactions I've ever had!
1:37 'Super Sentai' filmed at Tokyo Dome City pretty regularly. As a result of that and its American repurposing, Linear Gale actually showed up more than once in 'Power Rangers!'
I went Tokyo Dome City back in 2008. I didn't visit the entire park and I only rode two ride (the spinning coaster they used have and The Big O) but to know there was a roller coaster that was super obscure makes me kind of disappointed I didn't see it.
My first ever roller coaster was an Arrow Dynamics coaster called Afterburner. This was located at Fun Spot in Angola, Indiana. Literally in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by cornfields. It had a drop that went into an inversion that went up to a stop at the top of a climb. Then it just went backwards and that was it. It was the first inverted roller coaster in Indiana and I was only 6 years old when I rode it! It wasn't comfy but it definitely left a lasting impression on a young me.
Seeing Caripro included in the video makes me nostalgic for the "Vleermuis", which was a coaster of theirs at the Plopsaland Park in Belgium, which was removed a few years ago :C
John H Brown after the imminent failure of the 2 backity back roller coasters went on to purchase the Winchester Mansion in San Jose CA in 1922 after Sarah Winchester died and opened it to the public as the Winchester Mystery House, it is still owned by his family to this day
Wow, the "Russian Mountains"-Coaster also had two switch tracks. So you could ride it with and without the looping🤯🤯🤯 Also it had NO upstop-wheels, just some metal enclosure, which is also very unique for an Coaster with Inversions😗Greate Video by the way 😄
I find it interesting how many old rollercoasters had unique and interesting features, that era was definitely one of experimentation. Also the statues outside Bowls of Joy look way too creepy
Just to let you know Rick Somerset took the pictures but my father and I took video of space coaster at saltair outside of salt lake City. I finally obtained the video from my mother and it did get transferred to VHS and I am in the process of digitizing it to DVD. And yes I did get to ride it along with Rick Somerset who was traveling with us. So for the salt air space coaster there is video including POV.
Awesome! I'm very excited to see it when it's digitized! How was the ride? I would love to feature it in a video about Lost Media coasters (with full credit to you of course).
The 100+ years old switchback-system sounds a bit like the systems used nowadays to change the gauge of a train's wheels while its in motion. Something (wheels, gliders) on the side lift the vehicle up so that the "main wheels" can do something funky, and then it gets dropped back down. It's actually also a bit comparable to that new donkey kong coaster with the real track and "scenery track" above it.
I did a coaster in Walibi Belgium called 'Vertigo' who only operated a few days in the park before it was removed. It was a suspended railway coaster and was about 55 meters high. It was the long -awaited replacement for Tornado, the first Vekoma corkscrew Coaster to be closed with the arrival of Six Flags Belgium. After a few days after the coaster was finished, the coaster suffered from wear and metal fatigue that caused a lawsuit with the group of the park and the builder Doppelmayr, an Austrian manufacturer of mainly cable lifts. It was therefore the only Mountain Glider of its kind. The experience felt as a huge flight with carts of four people. Can be compared to a Death Ride, but with coaster chairs. Although the ride was fun, he had a lot of down times nd in my eyes the supporters for the coaster were very ugly who made the park radiate a very industrially feel. Opened by well -known Belgian 'Jean Claude van Damme', he was no longer operational the next day. I was able to ride it twice during the soft opening. The final replacement came many years later with the Intamin Mega Coaster, Kondaa.
12:49 That was actually much closer than you give yourself credit for. The only major thing I noticed is that "dans" is pronounced closer to "don" than "dan"
The bowls of joy advertising on the outside of the attraction is kinda creepy and weird but ultimately makes so much sense to me for the time period it existed, it reminds me of old tin clown coin banks. I just love old advertising spectacles like that. So novel!
Again a mention of Belgium, but this time u are actualy teaching teaching me something about my own country 😅, great job Peter, always a good time when u upload a new vid 🎉
As someone who grew up in the Rocky Mountains, every Colorado native I know does not pronounce the t in mountain. We say it like you. If we say it that way, you can too.
I have Linear Gale as a credit! I was a teen at the time when i went to Japan. It was interesting for sure. For me what it made it fun was simply location. The park is smack in the city and its tight location surrounded by buildings the and city made it fun
@ThemeParkCrazy you should make a video about worlds first for coasters or for the next unique coaster video you should include the coaster that was at the defunct Granada studios (now known as the crystal maze experience Manchester)
I've been on that impulse coaster with two straight spikes, but not in that park! I rode it in Sweden, at Liseberg. I found it insanely scary and intense. The feeling when you "run out of track" on the way to the skies makes my stomach tingle now still, after 18 years 😅
thinking about it I am having a hard time calling Backety-Back a shuttle coaster, It never really traverses the same sections of track in both directions - The reversing section puts me more to mind more of Ultra Twister which is not considered to be a shuttle coaster -
I take what I said on the post back on my ability to help on Bowls Of Joy. I reckon I can make a functional marble run version of that ride, though I think it’s gonna be a long long time before I finish it. Because first, I’m gonna have to learn how to use Fusion 360 instead of Tinkercad
Here's an honorable mention: The Virgina Reel was a wooden spinning side friction roller coaster type characterized by spinning circular "tubs" that zig-zagged down a flat-bottomed track. The Virginia Reels used a side friction-like track resembling a trench. Instead of big hills or banks, Virginia Reels featured many unbanked turns and switchbacks to spin their tubs as much as possible. Near the end of the ride were a few helices and a relatively steep drop into a tunnel. The tubs had inward-facing seats built around the perimeter, spun freely on their chassis as they traveled around the track. The Virginia Reel was designed by Henry Elmer Riehl, who named the ride after his daughter, Luna Virginia Riehl. The first Virginia Reel was built in 1908 at Luna Park, Coney Island, where Henry Riehl was superintendent. A similar ride around the same time, the Tickler, consisted of curved rails and posts forming a zig-zag route down an incline surface. Wheeled circular tubs freely rolled and spun down the incline, guided by the rails, and bounced about by the posts. The last Virginia Reel was the Virginia Reel at Pleasure Beach Blackpool. The modern equivalent of the Virginia Reel is the Spinning Wild Mouse. In the early 1990s, Arrow Dynamics offered a modernized "Virginia Reel" roller coaster. However, it was built with steel rather than wood. A prototype was constructed at Arrow's facility in Utah, but none were built. A total of 10 were built, none of which exist today. Although one ride, of a very similar design to the Virginia Reel survives, at Joyland in Great Yarmouth. Named "The Tyrolean Tubs" this is as near as you will ever get to one.
I've started following your channel...more because I love hearing people talk about their passions than I personally fixate on roller coasters. But I'm a NEOhio native, so I'm wondering if you've ever considered covering Geauga Lake. I'm sure some of the defunct coasters have come up, but I don't think I've noticed them in your videos. But, I'd love it if you ever looked into it...Geauga Lake is an early heartbreak from my life. (Note: I did comment on the extinct roller coaster video with purpose.)
It's a shame these rides are extinct, I would've loved to ride them, especially the Revolving Mouse, I feel like it would do a number on my stomach though 😂
Am I the only one who sees the resemblance of the Space Coaster to that air powered waterslide at Aquamagis Plettenberg? My reaction to seeing it in the thumbnail was " Oh my god, an air powered rollercoaster."
We need a bowl of joy ride... but I think it should be designed and themed after a gum ball machine. But that's been my fantasy Rollercoaster for a long time. I used to even draw pics with my design idea lol
The only amusement parks I’ve been to is six flags St. Louis and the one in Chicago and Busch gardens in Florida I needa go back to amusement parks I love em 🔥
I remember passing by Hydro Fighter 2 all the time during trips wondering what it was. Really wish there was more documented history for W&W Greensboro. They also supposedly had a wooden coaster in storage.
I need to get out to busch gardens here in Virginia. They give active duty free tickets for 2 people once every year. But I'm sleeping on it. Thanks for the reminder.
I actually did know about the reverser coaster. I saw it in a video somewhere awhile back and did some googling on it, pretty cool concept especially for that time period. Sucks that there isnt one out there today. Also kinda surprising nobody has tried it since the 1900s
hey there was an old coaster design i believe it was a water coaster. anyway i remember it being back in the 90s at the now defunct Dinosaur beach in wildwood nj. i was a little kid at the time but my dad and i would ride that thing every summer. it had 2 or 3 people per car or tube if you will and it was in a similar track layout of a Hartline coaster.
Peter. This would be so fricking funny. Put up a failed coasters video for a ride that didn't fail and is still open. Do it as a prank to trick us viewers.
I should open up my old Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 game and see if the Reverser is in the coaster options. As a young teenager I never really touched any of the other coasters other than the corkscrew, and the basic wooden coaster, mainly because I didn’t really understand the in game physics for making a balanced coaster statistics wide.(Still don’t)
9:28 Can confirm there are NO inversions on the Backety-Back. Small graphic mistake that I didn't think was worth re-rendering over. if it said something like 1,000, then I would have re-rendered it 😅😅. It's "unlisted" because I didn't list it.

What

@jiru331 that Is so true...oh wait they posted a new video
You don't have a girlfriend...let's be honest
Bowls of Joy might seriously is the best name for a ride ever lmao
Still laughing over "Bowls of Deferred Hope" lol
I first read that as "bowels of joy", and I can't stop laughing! 😂😂😂
I remember the suspended wet coaster at Hershey Park. It was called Roller Soaker. Me and my son had it timed perfectly so we could get the riders completely soaked! Was sad when they removed it.
Waited in line for 2 hours to get on it. Was extremely disappointed. So glad they removed it. It was the most pointless ride / idea ever
Ah!! It was one of my fav Hersheypark rides when i was younger. I dont even step into the Boardwalk area unless its for the christmas tree walk during Candylanes. Such a waste to remove it for a derpy play area. Oh well lol
@@Wicked_Fox If you thought it was going to be Sky Rush of course you’d be disappointed but it was a great ride for what it was designed to be. Too bad you weren’t able to enjoy it like everyone else.
@@MichaelRei99 it just goes in a short circle once
Same here. I still have pictures of it when I went on it. It was fun.
It was always amazing how even if certain coaster models dont exist anymore or never properly developed, they were most likely in the rollercoaster tycoon games.
As a Rcdb browser, I am honestly surprised I’ve never heard of these especially the flying coaster at Fuji q highland. Thanks for another banger TPC!!
My first thought about the Bowl's of Fun coaster was "Wow that seems kinda cool, I wonder why it didn't catch on"... And immediately answered with endless mechanical failure. RIp.
I remember finding out Linear Gale existed and decided to add it to my planet coaster park as if I relocated the ride, pretty interesting addition to my park.
15:49 I absolutely LOVE Phineas and Ferb! I actually met both of them at Hollywood Studios back in December for their Christmas party, Jollywood Nights, and it was one of the most magical character interactions I've ever had!
All of these defunct coasters are so fascinating to hear about!
1:37 'Super Sentai' filmed at Tokyo Dome City pretty regularly. As a result of that and its American repurposing, Linear Gale actually showed up more than once in 'Power Rangers!'
I think out of all the coasters shown, I think a modernized remake of the Bowls of Joy would be a good ride.
13:42 wait so dododonpa isn’t the only coaster at Fuji a highland that broke necks?
I went Tokyo Dome City back in 2008. I didn't visit the entire park and I only rode two ride (the spinning coaster they used have and The Big O) but to know there was a roller coaster that was super obscure makes me kind of disappointed I didn't see it.
Finally, a Phineas and Ferb reference (Favorite cartoon IMO). Thank you!
These rides are fascinating to learn about! I do wish more information existed so we can learn more about them. Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned!
The Backedy back ride gives off switchback vibes, that ride is super fun and I love it 😎😎😎😎

Definitely an arrow shuttle loop
Ah the shuttle loop, my home park has the only one left outside of the US.
@@CoasterHead very cool! Thank you for the information!
Any thing useful of it was brought to Oklahoma which has another shuttle loop
@@katashworth41there are two, sidewinder (elitch gardens) and diamondback at frontier city.

Voyage Dans La Ciel is the second retheming for Birdmen. It's first retheme was to the anime Hamtaro, and was named Great Fluffy Sky Adventure.
This is 1 of your best videos really enjoyable and informative keep up the good work!
I really hope you do a sequel to this video. Hearing about unknown coasters is incredibly interesting to me
John H Brown after the imminent failure of the 2 backity back roller coasters went on to purchase the Winchester Mansion in San Jose CA in 1922 after Sarah Winchester died and opened it to the public as the Winchester Mystery House, it is still owned by his family to this day
My only rare credit besides the Geauga Lake line-up was I got to ride Son of Beast with the loop.
Bowls of Joy makes the reliability of The Accelerators feel world class
Wow, the "Russian Mountains"-Coaster also had two switch tracks. So you could ride it with and without the looping🤯🤯🤯 Also it had NO upstop-wheels, just some metal enclosure, which is also very unique for an Coaster with Inversions😗Greate Video by the way 😄

Wow. Rode both mentioned in #9. Crazy. Always great videos.
I rode the Flying Super Saturator at Carowinds. In fact, my beach towel is from the opening of the ride.

Finally, an American coaster youtuber who doesn't pronounce "Volare" like "vol-air", but much closer to the Italian pronunciation. 😍
I'm 1/4 Itallian on my dad's side, so I grew up listening to Dean Martin in Itallian restaurants.

I love the idea of a ride named after a critic, maybe we could get Mark Kermode The Ride with on board audio of his best rants.

I like this format of video!
It's a shame these rides are extinct, I would've loved to ride them, especially the Revolving Mouse, I feel like it would do a number on my stomach though 😂
Maybe for the patreon tiers it should be Hyper tier, Giga tier and Strata tier.
I actually have ridden both from carowinds and hard rock park . We used to love riding the one at Carowinds all summer long
Always a good day when Theme Park Crazy posts
Bowls of joy sounds like a really fun concept. It would have been cool to see it in action.
Am I the only one who sees the resemblance of the Space
Coaster to that air powered waterslide at Aquamagis Plettenberg? My reaction to seeing it in the thumbnail was " Oh my god, an air powered rollercoaster."
4:08 didn’t Hard Rock Park in Myrtle beach have this?
Wait. Nevermind
I feel like the bowls of joy would be super fun to ride. Still not sure about that name though
My first roller coaster was the Hi-Speed Thrill Coaster at Knoebels. My first BIG coaster was Phoenix.
The Space Coaster (Space Orbiter) reminds me of the Running Man.

Sadly I wasn’t able to ride slippery when wet during my only visit to the hard rock theme park due to being over the height limit!
I didn’t either but I did some of the other stuff
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Virginia reel in this video. Definitely one of the more obscure coasters I’ve run across.
That Russian coaster looks intense.
Seems kinda fitting for the Revolving Jungle Mouse to premier at World's Fair '70, when Gamera was one of the big draws for that fair afaik
Love your videos! I think you say moutian just fine 🤣
I'm from St. Louis and as soon as you said, "Delmar Garden..." I said, "The nursing home?"
Guess I found my next rabbit hole to fall down...
There are a few coasters in the UK that hardly anyone remembers like the Alton mouse Beastie and thunder looper
