Hola
as a spanish guy im so gratefull, thanks men❤
@@ThemeParkCrazy can you do Belgium?
Ok, as a Spaniard I loved this video, as the meme says "Y volvería a nacer español"
Also some annotations about some of your doubts:
El tren de la bruja is a quite a very well known thing in Spain's culture, technically the Disneyland ride you mentioned is also a tren de la bruja just with another name, the people with the inflatable bats are there because usually these rides give a balloon or something similar to the passengers, also in some of them, if you can snatch the witch's broom you get a free ride. Sometimes this ride gets mixed with the dragon kid coasters with the train looking like a dragon. I recall in my city there was one called "Dragón La Sirenita" wich means Dragon The Little Mermaid with the walls filled with bootleg images of the Disney little mermaid characters (both the original film and the direct to video sequel), yeah makes no sense it never does. These rides always have an indoor section and some of them put drawings with glowing paint
While spinning-jumping rides with copyrighted characters are pretty popular kangaroos are also a recurring choise, another usual theme is calling it "el saltamontes" or something similar wich is Spanish for grasshopper, when they are named like that they usually use a Jiminy Cricket figure in the middle
Fun Houses are also quite popular, usually themed to a specific property specially comedy ones, Mr. Bean is a recurring theme, also is Torrente (an insanely popular comedy movie series from Spain abput a corrput, fascist, sexist and disgusting former policeman) or Gran Prix (a game show from Spain from the aearly 2000s that only is made during summer were the two teams, each one representing a Spanish small village, compete in physical games it recently got a revivial). Another popular theme is for some reason Hollywood, showing several movie celebrities
The hotel ride is definitely a budget version of Tower of Terror, as a maybe not fun fact the one in my city named the hotel for some reason "Twin Towers Hotel", yeah, uncalled
In that ride's context "Makineros" is the name of those that enjoy or play "Makina" a genre of electronic music that got popular in Spain during the 90s, that's why the Homer figures have a guitar. Fun fact, another popular bootleg related to that music is the "Los Pitufos Makineros" music albums, which were like those "Chipmunk covers" sped up versions of popular songs, but in this case it was The Smurfs (Los Pitufos is how they are called in Spain)
The Simpsons are insanely popular in Spain, and Hispanic countries in general, and since many of those rides were made in the late 90s early 2000s, when the show was a its peak it makes sense they are used that much, in general the ferias seem to be stuck in that period at times, even the music hasn't changed that much. There is even the term of musica de feria, for the music that is usually used there. For example the mechanical bull rides, that usually have a western theme, are known for using the song "En una Tribu Comanche" (In a Comanche Tribe) wich is about a guy encountering several Native American tribes. It's definitely a product of it's time
Another thing about feria rides in general is how horny they are, and it used to be more back then. Several rides were usually covered with drawings of pinup girls, usually tracing well known artists works. Obviously this tends to happen in the more extreme ones but familiar rides aren't safe. The alcatraz ones that had any theme used to be medieval dungeons/ torture chambers with sadistic torturers, human or not, and damsels in distress. The haunted houses had similar ones with the old pulp and weird fiction old school magazines being obvious inspirations. Many have been toned down but not all of them.
So yeah, Spanish ferias are quite unhinged: a paradise of bootlegs, nonsense and political incorrectness at times. In my friend group they are a recurring joke so they always will have a special spot in my heart, so yeah I got some good laughs from this video. Greetings from Castelló, Spain, obviously
Gracias!
Increíble comentario! Explica muy bien la cultura de las ferias españolas! Ojalá algún día pueda ir a visitar una !
Amazing comment! Thank you for the insight and greetings from Connecticut, USA!
@@ThemeParkCrazy you're welcome, glad you liked it. Thank you for this video
@@viria_ gracias! Me alegro que así, sea a ver si tienes suerte y puedes visitar una algún día
The reason why the operator wacks the riders with balloons (usually happens in little powered coasters) is for the riders to try to steal it from the operator. If they manage to do so, they will offer you another ride for free. Greetings from Spain!!!
In England, we get a lot of kiddie rides and inflatable obstacle courses / bouncy castles with major IPs on them at funfairs, and I believe the answer to “How do they get permission?” is: They don’t. They slap the characters on do kids are drawn to them and they get money. Nobody is going to contact Disney or DreamWorks and say “Some funfair ride has your characters on it”, so they just get away with it.
THE AMERICAN MIND CAN'T COMPREHEND THE RANDOM IPS IN FERIAS
You expect this.
And thats Weird , cruz americans are weirdos and so Random , florida people are a good example of that 😂
This has to be one of the best videos of all time, the troncos flotantes are located at la feria de Lo Pagan very near from my town. I have never felt so represented. Great video, greetings from Murcia, Spain.
Greetings from Connecticut, USA!
"Trained stunt professional" and it's just Manolín, the ride owner's 16 year old son that grew up working in la feria with his family
Hahahahahaha I couldn't stop laughing, as Spanish I thought everything was completely normal until I watched your video. Ferias are amazong, and Tren de la Bruja was my fav ride as a kid. Sometimes it was so scary cause the actors hide inside the tunel to scare you as well. Amazing video!
What's Spanish for "We have Disneyworld at home"?
Tenemos Disney world en casa
@@CoasterHeadyou absolute legend
Tenemos El Mundo de Dinsey al casa.
@@ThunderDashHub the difference between ours is i used Disney world as a brand and you used world as its own word, i think your correct tho
@@dangerzone334archivenot a legend, could’ve just copied and paste from google translate
9:05 There's actually a time in the Disney comics where Goofy becomes a Superhero called "Super Goof", Where he eats Super-powered peanuts to get his powers.
And of course the Super Adventure episode in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Imagine being on a kids ride and being assaulted by Mickey 💀
P.S. Love the videos! Keep it up
Holding a balloon...Shaped like a...Y'know.
@@OverlordZeroULTIMA that’s what I thought but didnt want to get my comment taken down
@@LordOfTheRides29just say hot dog
Some of my first memories are being in a feria with my grandma, she used to love El Tren de la Bruja where the witch will hit you with a balloon! We went everyday on the feria days: those are typical held on the Fiestas Mayores of the towns which are usually 4-6 days when most towns celebrate their patron day or important historic dates, ours is at the end of August to celebrate so the fishermans can go pray to their patron so they will return safely!
Usually ferias are one of the first places where kids can go alone with their friends, so teenagers always have a blast on those!
I've never seen a carnival version of Tower of Terror/Mission Breakout. That's pretty cool!
I believe "Los papás gratis" means "parents (ride) free." In Spanish padres/papás can mean either fathers/dads or parents. One has to infer from context.
Super Goofy looks awesome
As a Spaniard, the super Goofy is *not* a kind of ride!
That's a very rare retheme. Usually that kind of ride is called "the Canguro", sometimes "the pulpo", often with "super" at the beginning. It means the kangaroo or the octopus.
It's a super fun ride, but super dangerous for little kids, as there's basically no height restriction and no good restraints. When I was 10 I almost rode with my 7 year old little sister. Thank God I reconsidered and chose to ride alone the first time. I was clinging on for dear life. My sister would have definitely gone flying off.
I think that it's named differently depending on the comunidad autónoma, as here in Galicia we have "el saltamontes"
Its funny cause the spongebob boat ride is almost a literal replica of the kiddy coaster in one of the episodes of Sb
Aka The Mitten.
they don't get permission, they only go after them if they make enough money 😆

@@elusivenarwhal1996 You killed the joke. lol
I am from Spain and I only have to say adoro las ferias de españa
I was in peru in march and in cuzco, i kid you not, there was a small coaster that was skibidi toilet themed at a fair.
Oh wow I'd love to see that. Did you take a picture?
please if you find the skibidi coaster i would be thrilled
These rides are proof that copyright laws stifle creativity
I love ferias. Yesterday I visited one. Sometiemes they have also a stage for perfomances and some "casetas" which are private places to stay with friends and family.
That standup pirate ship can also be found on Belgian fairs.
I also found multiple permanent witch trains in Spanish theme parks, so it seems to be a Spanish thing
Nice! I'd love to learn more about other countries' fairs.
One thing you may not know is that most "Ferias" aren't stationary and move from town to town during the year so each time the "Feria" comes to town, it may be another totally different "Feria" (with some classics like "El Pulpo", "Tren de la Bruja" and "Coches de choque")
NOT exactly related to Spain but tbh I can honestly say that random ass IP's popping up on carnival rides is just weirdly popular in foreign countries. I'm Vietnamese American (born in the US, parents immigrated here) but the few times my family visited Vietnam when I was a child I visited some small local carnivals that also had rides with stolen copyrighted Western characters on them lol. It's not even just on carnival rides either, I remember constantly seeing bootleg merch like toys, books, stationary, etc with copyrighted characters on them. Kinda like those weird knockoff toys you see in an American dollar store, but shit like that is everywhere in my home country. Guess it's also more common than I thought outside the US, if anything this video made me quite nostalgic for my crappy niche carnivals in Vietnam lmfao
(Also the inflatable hammers are often a toy item sold to children in low budget fairs like this)
BEELZEBUB??
SUPER GOOFY! *Clap Clap, Clap Clap Clap* SUPER GOOFY!
I understood that reference.

Hello, I'm from Spain and I really enjoyed watching the video. I'm so used to riding these types of rides. I hope to see you in Spain
10:08 That ride was my first introduction to Ninja Turtles when I was a kid in Spain.
You probably were confused as to why the Ninja Turtles weren't coming out of the TV and bopping you on the head with balloons
Seeing Familiar Beloved cartoon characters from different properties come together is a dream come true. 😍😍😍😄😄😄
Hope you feel better soon Peter. These rides look hilarious!
I think is worth making a video regarding also Italy's carnival rides! They're called "giostre", and some of them are so absurd I still can't believe they're still opreating
Los simpsons maquineros would be something like "the partying hard simpsons"
8:32 uncle uncle!!! I officially got traumatized once I saw Bart in mom jeans. 👩 👖 😱
OMG I'm from spain and been to LOTS of these! Thanks for making a video about it
I luv your videos they are so fun and comforting for me to watch. This is one of my absolute favorite channels! I like to watch the videos back-to- back. I would love it if you could do a video covering the rise and fall of Wonderland EurAsia I’m so intrigued by that place.
7:25 This is the weirdest spongebob cameo since Spugna Roberto Quadrati Pantaloni!
11:18 I didn't know they would make these kinds of rides based on more "modern" Disney films. There's also Wreck-it-Ralph on the background.😅
Mystery hotel is genuinely so cool to me
The neat part of Disneyworld-like coasters in Ferias is that kids would get little gifts when exiting (at least in the 2000s)! I remember getting Megara (from Hercules) pens and Disney stickers from there!😊
In 90s in Greece we had many of this to what we call as Panigiria then the church of your neighbourhood celebrating it's name not any more.
Now is every major city has it's own Luna park in my city we have the pan like you show here, the hammer and revolution that is a giant horizontal wheel that does 360
Jesus Christos 😂 that cage ride is MENTAL. "But f**k those..... this El Nevo Super Goofy" dude I'm crying laughing so hard.
Some of the images found on these rides are flat out cursed. I would love TPC to do a deeper dive into the art found on carnival rides.
I love carnival rides art, is so cursed and funny. Me and my friends group sometimes just go to carnivals to check the rides facades
If you wounder about the use of IPs on flatrides, I wish you a lot of fun on the german fairs.
For example: Fighter (Mages), World of fantasy (Bruch), X Force (Klinge), Heros (Fick), Fast and furious (Zimmermann), The Beast (Rasch) and so on :D
Great Video by the way.
Imagine you are going to a spanish carnival fair and seeing a ride that has your face plastered onto it.
I'm imagining my dad doing those no-restraint rides now. He's into thrill rides, so I can see him doing that. I wonder if he'd even question the idea. :P
I'm off to Gran Canaria next week, I'll have to check out Holiday World for these bizarre rides if I get time.
I remember as a kid going to Mexico and visiting a similar carnival.
The look on master splinters face😂
Dude seaside heights in NJ, Fun Pier, had a SpongeBob ride. It was a dark ride where you would round these corners and be greated by a loud buzzer and a red light would highlight a SpongeBob mural on the wall. That was the whole ride. Its was terrifying
I’m living in Spain next year. I hope I get to go to one of these copyright infringement fever dreams
Those balloons are certainly an interesting shape 😂
Im from zaragoza spain, and 2 weeks ago i just saw the pirateship one but with esteroids!!!! i just filmed in every way possible to show u and maybe u can make a video about it!!!
lIke, the fair attraction what im talking about is way crazier, like, it has a rotation cell and is 3 times more smaller than the pirate ship (so, u can imagine the intensity of it) i just shock when i saw it
I'd love to see it! Send me an email at themeparkcrazy1992@gmail.com !
For years blackpool pleasure beach had a turtle chase ride, and each of the turtle cars had a coloured band over their eye's
12:19 te has olvidado la parte más importante, si le quitas la escoba a la bruja, puedes volver a subirte gratis
I used to visit a feria everytime I went to Torrevieja as we went each year. And the main ride I remember is one of those magic carpet style rides called Aladino. I never braved it, but it was always a fun watch.
Incase anyone is curious, I found a video of the ride online. ruclips.net/video/hDD7a_cc0lg/видео.htmlsi=sMBRiRDiErcIsH2P
Once at a shopping mall in France, I saw a coin-operated kiddy ride that made me ask “When did Minnie Mouse mutate with Budgie The Little Helicopter?!?”!
That simba cart at 8:52 has some cake!
I came here looking for some booty! A simba's butt. It's more important than food. It's more important than water. 😂
Oh God okay uhmmm yeah - that's in Germany too. Funfair Rides here also get away with Random IPS slapped on them but not only with Kiddie Rides but Ghost Trains here have also well known IPS painted on it like Pennywise, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger and there is even a whole Walkthrough attraction themed and named after "Friday the 13th". Other Rides also have IPs slapped on them like for example one HUSS Flipper had (or still has?) a bunch of movie References on its Backdrop from Alien to The Hulk and even a rendering of the Iconic Photoshot of Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Oh yea and we had our own travelling version of the Tower of Terror. It was called "Mystery Tower Hotel".
We have rides like this in the U.K. too where Disney characters and stuff are airbrushed usually by the owners over there rides at the traveling fairs.or the ride is diy fabricated by the owner and they’ve customised what they have on it.
average rides in Europe
we had crazier stuff, but they demolished our park in 2014... now the capital doesn't have a single amusement park.
Copyright infringements are also widespread in Germany, but Spain takes it to the extreme. 😂 Many thanks for this excellent content and all the research.
About the closest thing i can think of in terms of casual copyright infringement here in the US would be some of the tribal fireworks stands that pop up around the 4th of July. I don't know if putting the stands on the reservations puts them out of reach of copyright law enforcement or what (it certainly doesn't put them out of reach of the ATF, hearing about stands getting busted for selling illegal explosives isn't uncommon) but at places like "Boom City" on the Tulalip reservation in Washington half the stands are covered in off-model copyrighted characters.
4:09 wait that's kinda cool actually, I'm Spanish and have never seen that ride, I did see a weird haunted house that goes kindw tall, and also has VR. Also on 8:36 they're not just reffering to dads, they're talking about the parents in general.
Many travelling carnivals in The Netherlands and Germany (and more, I assume) have painted images of cartoon characters.
There are also bigger thrill rides that have painted depictions of famous musicians like Madonna and Prince.
Hello, I am a follower of yours, I love your videos, I am from Spain. If you are interested in taking a trip to see these "fairs" I recommend, for example, in Madrid, in April or May, as there are many neighborhoods that celebrate their festivals and you will find many flats, and in the towns on the outskirts of Madrid, they are in September and they are consecutive, they begin in one location and when they are ending they begin in the next location. Greetings
Here in México is the most crazy thing is the tagada with a nun dancing in middle of it. It's called "La monja de la feria" and believe me it's a very big thing hope you see it. God bless you and get rain where you live 🙏✝️🕊♥️🎶✨️🌦🐑☁️🐕💖🏘🎢🌟🌨🌧🏡🌻☁️🙌🏘
Yet another great video! Even with a cold, your voice is still just as charming😆☺️
Hey man, I hope you're doing good. You should do one video with mexican ferias. They're random as hell and they have untrustworthy security on the rides 😅. Love your videos btw 🤘🏻.
My understanding is even here in the US copyright infringement does not apply to portable amusement rides. There are several here in the states that have Disney other copyrighted stuff.
This video is amazing, understanding Spanish funfairs (ferias) can be quite funny or complicated for non European people. First of all note that a lot of those attractions (day by day less of them) are historical! They have been refurbished over and over since the 60s 70s and 80s so this is a main motive for their eclectic liminal weird looks sometimes! Second of all, they are portable attractions which trend to do a selected route within the peninsula (like circus trailers do) to visit all towns and villages during religious festivities, for example in easter or in minor saints festivity which usually are called Verbenas.
Spanish funfairs started (at least where I live) like in the early 1900s and famous attractions like La Rana loca (jumper ride “Crazy frog”) El pulpo (Octopus ride that appears on the video under name Los Simpson) or El hotel (Tower of terror) are on route since the early 90s and the reboot paintings have been there since then!
Disney paintings made with spray paint are the most known and common thing in kiddie coaster rides, for example the Disney coaster which I have ridden a lot as a kid, in adult coasters more “exotic” usually erotic drawings were placed inspired mostly on nightlife, parties, hot girls or even space and disturbing scenery which made a bizarre yet hipnotic combination haha.
Anyway amazing to see an expert talking about this subject! Bravo
The Bart figure at 8:09 is my sleep paralize demon😭, and also Homer checking that man out 😂
I grew up with fairs like this on a smaller scale in the UK, there's fewer of them now and the Spanish ones take things a little further, but nothing overly surprised me. Everything looks fun!
As an American. I would love to check those out. They don't seem boring like most fairs we have here.
Super Goofy looks to be one wild ride. It looks like Goofy has told Dumbo, "I'll see your Flying Elephants and raise you 10 2-Litre bottles of Coke and 6 cups of coffee."
Im from spain and i've seen the super goofy tons of times i found this hilarious awesome content!!
Oh, nobody tell him about the ones in South America
That SpongeBob statue (at 7:18 mark) has seen some shit. 🤣🤣🤣
I was about to sleep but then I saw hey, no way! A theme park crazy upload!
7:56 I began laughing once I saw this! Oh my god! 🤣🤣🤣
Funny cuz I was just at a fair yesterday for a concert and I can tell you what I saw from there!
They even had a vehicles ride that shamelessly used pics from Pixar’s Cars.
in the netherlands we have alot of 80 and 90 themes and colours
11:04 The infamous spongebob one that eats children
Yo I live right next to Spain so I’m used to this stuff heck I’ve been on the super goofy it’s a fun ride with good airtime plus the spinning rides with characters are really normal I’ve seen the Alvin one before and the same ride with the pink panther and one with the tazmanin devil on it these fairs are really fun and the biggest one around my area starts next month they have some good flats including a traveling whip rode that runs really fast I’m glad you made a video about this since fairs in general are not covered enough by enthusiasts thx for the video really enjoyed it btw make a part two I can give you some insight to the rides since I’ve been in them and more than happy to give you more info but enough yapping great vid
I am not from Spain but I always went on holiday to Spain when I was younger and I consider these types of rides nostalgic
Thanks for the video. I learned today that there is fairground / roller coaster culture shock. Not sure if there's more stuff out there like this, but I'd be addicted if so!
I love this video and I want you to make a series of different attractions around the world that have attractions exclusive to the country.
Super goofy looks so fun.
You missed off the pirate ship with the standing section (a cage at each end). Managed to get a ride on one in Blanes a few years ago and the airtime was insane. Must go and find another one at some point 😁
I cut that part out because I was told that it can also be found in Belgium, but I will post the full uncut version on my Patreon.
This is not just weird to americans. I'm dutch and I've never seen anything like this. Those rides that have no restraints are insane. You would never see that here.
I was recently in Copenhagen for a business trip, and we went to Tivoli, the world's second oldest amusement park. You wanna see some cool lookin', weird rides!
Definitely going to Spain next year. Thank you so much.
I found on RUclips that one Spanish carnival coaster is entirely based on Elliott from Disney's "Pete's Dragon". First time I saw it I was like "How has Disney NOT sued them yet?"
Those witch train things are on my list of must do rides because I love ghost trains and these are just mad.
Great video and greetings from Spain 🎡 btw if you have a chance to visit spain i recomend you visit Barcelona fair in april or Sevilla in april too or Madrid in May, then in june some fairs in Andalucía like Marbella or Torrejón de Ardoz in june too
I live in the US, & I've seen lots of portable rides with Disney & other IPs on them. As far as I can tell, they just follow the "nothing's illegal unless you get caught" philosophy. The odds of anyone caring enough to report the copyright infringement & being able to find the right people to report it to are pretty slim. And even if it were reported, by the time anyone tried to check it out, the ride's already been packed up & moved to some other location.
I've seen the weird multi color genie alladin ride in the Netherlands before, over 20 years ago.
As a Spanish I love the Tren de la Bruja rides, but more the one that comes to my city, Tren la Bruixa Quirós which isn't that kiddy themed but more an horror themed ride, it's simple, but you have a great time in there ngl.
The SpongeBob log flume ride looking just the Mitten is great
