On Friday May 1st 2015 the booster ride named scream was operating as normally as it was capable of operating at the newly opened Longshan Park Pingyang China. The park was holding its grand opening. Around 12:05pm Scream was being loaded with riders when it suddenly started its cycle.

Operating as normally as it’s capable of doing is always crazy to hear
That caught my attention as well...
It's really disturbing hearing the usual opening altered.
Quite the forshadowing
I was about to comment on that without watching any further. That's a foreboding way to introduce a ride if I've ever heard one.
My initial thought was “What’s that supposed to mean?” I continue watching, “Ooooooohhhhh. Oooooohhhh no.”
You know it's gonna be bad when Coaster College has more to say that "was operating normally"
That is China for ya
the park only operated for a few minutes after its grand opening? that has got to be some world record.
I doubt if it can be beaten, people say SFNO had a short life!
"Operating as normally as it was capable of doing" is a horrifying phrase. Thanks, Coaster College. I may hear that in my nightmares.
That has to be a world record for shortest amusement park being open
China has all the records yup
“Operating as normally as it was capable of doing” bro same
Reminds me of when things were advertised as fireproof, but were loaded with flammable materials and locked fire doors to prevent theft
I feel that.
This one took me a second to catch up and then I ugly laughed, I'm gonna take this with me from now on thank you ❤
My entire life summed up in a single sentence
I was just thinking that before Coaster College says that basically every single ride ever was “operating normally” regardless of what condition it was in just before the accident. So to hear “as normally as it was capable of doing” was quite a jolt.
oh boy, he’s gonna say it was operating norma-
“the ride was operating as normally as it was capable of doing”
*squidward nose shrink*
i would love a video about the shady ride manufacturers selling online bc thats insane
Objection: It wasn't an accident waiting to happen, because the accident happened immediately instead of waiting.
My God, someone has to TRY to make a death trap like this! Restraint systems, even simple ones, should be no brainers! Sure it will raise costs, but surely those will be less than the lawsuits! I hope there were lawsuits at least...
Someone designed a coaster specifically to kill the riders but it was never built…maybe these guys took that as a challenge
Even just a contactor in between the lever and the motor, or just a disconnect...anything. Heck, even just a shroud that goes over/around the lever and prevents it from moving.
My heart hurts for those who died, attempting to hold on, their last moments most likely full of fear
I was today years old when I learned that there’s basically a black market for amusement park rides
Definitely a unique accident in that it happened minutes after the park opened, so you can't even say that any of the staff had grown complacent or had developed a toxic workplace culture. It wouldn't have even been a shock to them because they hadn't experienced what was normal yet.
People being injured or killed is no laughing matter, but I chuckled when Coaster College showed a single lever tied directly to an electric motor used to operate a high intensity amusement ride.
One lever to start the ride... how convenient! Two hand safety switches are so bothersome and obviously cost at least double.
Thank you for making this series. Your videos were the first I ever saw on the topic of ride accidents that weren't horribly sensationalized. I was afraid of thrill rides for the past 15+ years because of that sensationalism. Learning about why and how these accidents actually happen helped me overcome that fear. I love thrill rides now, especially rollercoasters, I got a season pass to my home park and go whenever I can.
It had 2 coasters according to RCDB, they’d have been the rarest credits ever assuming any trains got sent around in the first few minutes
I saw the video of those two people falling 😣. How the hell is it profitable to make janky rides when they kill people THAT quickly into their service life???
"That quickly" as in the very first cycle. Did they even test this crap?
@@Teh_Random_CanadianNo they didn't, that would mean less efficiency making these pieces of junk
"Operating as normally as it was capable of doing" 💀
I've used electric leaf blowers that demanded more proof of operator presence before turning on
Literally lean something against the lever and walk away fr. You could go on break while it was running. Just absurd
i'd love to see a full video about these illegal manufacturers in china. this whole ride feels like an accident in itself.
I remember the full uncensored video being on liveleak, there was a lot of comments talking in detail about how wrong the procedure of rescue was carried out.
Lovely, buying unsafe rides just because they're cheaper, longshan park is greedy and disgusting for KNOWINGLY having all these rides that can cost peoples lives. It's scary knowing other parks are buying these rides whether they know or not how legitimate they are. Also the ones manufacturing these rides needs to go to prison.
The park did a speedrun, any% no hack
If you ever do another April Fools video, I hope you do, "What Really Happened on Speed Demon at Coney Island October 20th 2023" and talk about how a group calling themselves The Hunters attacked the park to kidnap one of the go-kart staff, one Alonzo "Lonnie" Lincoln. However, a costume vigilante tried to stop them. A shot from one of the Hunters' bazooka caused another ride to crash onto the Speed Demon coaster. Thankfully, this vigilante, known as "Spider-Man" was able to rescue the riders of Speed Demon with no notable injuries. However, Mr. Lincoln was kidnapped, but rescued less than 24 hours later.
Basically, summing up part of the Spider-Man 2 video game.
TF?? that sounds like a really bizarre incident
Edit: ok yes I fell for it lol
@@CrazyKevin22 Yeah, as I said, it's a joke summing up what happens in Spider-Man 2 on PS5.
Wow. One of the craziest ones you’ve covered
so insane that the park just opened and these were like the first people on the ride
I rode boosters, or Propeller's as we call them in germany, a bunch. Made from KMG, Fabbri, Funtime, Zamperla and (if you include the Capriolo & Furioso) Monidal. Since all of them follow the EU regulations and rely on redundency, I'm glad to NOT have this model on my credit list.
Apart from the safetey things, this looks boring as hell....if it works as intended.
The problem: If there are manufacturers in China that do have saftey on their mind over price, then their reputation is also being damaged. If I would see a chinese ride here in germany, I don't know how I would react. All of that just because a bunch of bad apples spoiled the bunch. I pretty much only trust the portable flatrides here in the EU because of that.
I'm traveling around to go the fairgrounds in germany and you just don't see sketchy stuff. Very very very rarely there is a mechanical failure.
Very informative as always. Glad to see you uploading more regarding flatrides again. Since this is exactly my playing field for over two decades now, I resubbed.
Knew we were in for a crazy one with “operating normally as it was capable of doing.” 😂
Even though the video was shorter and less detailed, I really enjoyed this one. Shut down within a few minutes, wow! Absolutely wild.
your production quality has seriously improved since you started this series, it's awesome to see your growth!
Wow you've really stepped up with some quality here! Really well done. I look forward to more videos of this quality on great topics not discussed elsewhere. must be harder too. Again really well done on this one!! Keep them coming!
everyone gangster til coastercollege says "operating as normally as it was capable"
Out of every knock off manufacturer, jinma is most likely the safest, they know what they are doing, so I feel like they are mostly the go to.
I'm curious how this park was even allowed to open. Looks like there were plenty of people there for the opening, so I wonder how a local authority that knew about the lack of permitting did not get wind of it.
These kinds of rides making their way to the US has me scared.
"MOST of the US"?? What states would allow a ride like this? I need to know where to avoid!
In Europe, we mostly follow EN 13814, not the TÜV standard. TÜV or any other notified body is checking each ride against these standards.
Individual restraints closed indicators are not allowed to be visual to the seat checking operator as seen in your animation according to EN 13814.
In general the floor is not allowed to be lowered before dispatching the ride, but procedures are maybe different depending on manufacture, park and country.
Magnetic switches are most likely not used to check the minimum required closing position for each restraints. Normally there are limit switches or sometimes inductive proximity switches. Both do not work with magnetic forces.
I'm not sure about the point with indicators not being visible to the restraint checking folks.
I used to work with a Technical Park made swing ride (if I remember correctly, the model is called Streetfighter), and each seat had a well visible light on top that came on when the restraint was down.
When riding Europa Park's Silver Star, you can even see a small LED come on when you close your restraint when you are a rider, as long as you know where to look.
With both rides being made by well known European manufacturers and operating in Germany (well, that swing ride no longer does, as it was sold to somewhere else, but it did back in the day), I would think that they followed all applicable rules.
With that being said, that Chinese Booster style ride would never be legal to operate here, no matter what.
JFC, just a forward and reverse switch... that is it!?
I’ve been on this type of ride twice in germany. Once with a proper ride operator, feeling absolutely safe even with the g force being kind of ridiculous
and once at a smaller fair, where the ride operators behavior felt immensely unprofessional to the point i felt really unsafe on the ride and was glad when it was over
Honestly, I know Coaster College isn't trying to teach this lesson but after watching Coaster College and similar RUclipsrs, I will never be getting on a fair ride aside from say a merry go round lol
@@ckilbarger01If you live in a developed country, you should be fine.
@@ThatEverydayEnthusiast I also live in central Ohio where that fair ride malfunctioned at the State Fair and ended up killing people. The people who inspect our fair rides are hired through the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
I'm good.
@@ckilbarger01in Germany all fair rides are inspected by the TUV before the fair can open, this is mandatory.
@@mudi2000a in the States, safety standards vary state by state. There's usually some level of checks that get done before a ride can open as well as daily checks but what those are, how often, who does them, and what qualifications those who check them and operate them need are completely up to each state
With even the manufacturers saying these rides are dangerous, what are they even selling them for? As decoy rides to fill up your park to make it look better? Have it run empty a bit for visual interest and tell people "it's only being tested today". That might work but surely not for long and the manufacture sure didn't make clear that this is what it was meant for
Absolutely horrifying situation. Smh. 😢😢😢
Shame on the sellers of this ride who dont care for human safety. RIP to those poor people who died.
Under 50k, US? Oh hell. I want one of these in my back yard. /S
This is like “3 drunk blokes with a welder” levels of jury-rigged construction.
Holy cut corners, Batman.
This has to be the shortest-lived park in history.
You should do a video about Dream Worlds Water Rapids ride in Australia. Not really a rollercoaster but would be interesting to hear your insight
How does an amusement park even open without permits?
In which states are this ride still legal?
china.
Yikes. This event took a chain of greedy/incompetent/uninformed people to happen. And the root cause is still an issue. That scares me
There's a kids roller coaster for only $2000 available to purchase by this company.
Only $2000.
I could literally buy one of these right now :o
I would be so curious to know what happened at Talocan at Phantasialand this year but I guess we will never know that...
I know "operating as normally as it was capable of doing" is the phrase here for rides that are blatantly and ludicrously unsafe, but I think this incident surpasses even that. These deathtraps didn't even have a chance to establish a baseline for "operating normally" before something went catastrophically wrong. Perhaps "operating as manufactured" would be the best option here, as cutting as it it accurate.
4:52 "We like big pendulum" Uh...what??
That kind of "windmill" flat ride scares the hell out of me. So do pendulum rides. One could not pay me to ride one built in China, whose government doesn't care a great deal about its residents.
Their government lets things like this happen, but if you speak out against? Oh no. Can't have that.
a gust of wind could have moved the lever???
It's possible
HONEY COME QUICK, COASTER COLLEGE UPDATED
"...we cannot guarantee its safety."
YKIES.
Don’t let Cedar Fair see this, these rides are a bargain.
The sad thing is the ride concept doesn't seem bad, but as usual, people just can't be bothered to give to Chapsticks about things NotLikeThis
Maybe you could do the knotts perilous plunge death its very popular so can make a video about it rip anyway. 🕊️
noo not the alibaba link to order a ride online lol
imagine ordering a ride on ALIBABA
Don't get me wrong, this is a terrible accident and I truly hope that better regulation is put into place everywhere that currently lacks it. However, the accident happened impressively quickly, I think that's a world record.
GUYS WAKE UP NEW COASTER ACCIDENT DROPPED
It’s a flat ride.
@@ThatEverydayEnthusiast same thing mate.
@@JonniShandor No, they aren’t. That’s saying a carousel, a Round Up, and a 0-Gravity ride are all roller coasters.
@@ThatEverydayEnthusiast I know, but it’s rude to just be like “erm actually this is a flat ride accident” the point of the comment was to comedicallu say a new accident has been posted. Semantics.
@@JonniShandor Ohh ok. 👍🏾
Great content
this things insane what do you mean no control system
@@fever1 No safety system, just a lever that controls the direction and speed of a motor.
Curious, will you ever cover the 2016 Dreamland incident? It's right up your alley.
@@skyemiddletonx9006 Yes there have been several steps towards doing that video. A rough script already exists and some animations have been tested.
Great video. Can't wait for the one on illegal Chinese rides.
Only shut down after the death no documentation…should have been caught before the park opened
Illegal rides business 💀
It said "book a factory tour".😂😂😂
Make another what really happened video
Will do
im surprised this story didn’t end with “…however, the owner of the park was related to a politician, and everything was swept under the rug by the ccp”
So don't go to a theme park in China got it
China moment
Wish/Temu levels of cheapness
It's china. thats all you need to know.
another one to add to the yap list 😼
