    This video is EVERYTHING I want out of art, HAC and SPC specifically. Just the pure surrealism of the rides, combined with the seemingly endless height, fog, and impossible structural stability.
    It just makes you feel something completely unique that is not felt through any other medium. This is by far one of the best art pieces of recent history.

    for almost ten years i've watched this clip in awe of everything about it. the visuals, dr. laslowicz's deadpan delivery., the ingenuity of the rides. but mostly, i appreciate the safety, as dr. laslowicz wears his hardhat everywhere outside, even in the taxi; almost like he expects body parts to rain from the sky?
    as many others have pointed out, there is a dreamlike quality of sehnsucht, the longing for something that never existed that permeates this, much in the way that boards of canada is the soundtrack for a childhood that i never had but i remember so vividly.

    I'm fascinated by the question of *why* these scenes seem to be creepy or unsettling to most people. It must be some kind of strange version of the uncanny valley effect, but it's weird because they're all machines. Maybe it's the rapid and erratic ways they move that adds a level of life to them that we recognize as not natural? Maybe it's from viewing humans in these unnatural states like floating in the air over a giant sphere. It's a mashup of things that could maybe work just at the edge of logic, but yet at the same time we know can't be possible. I can't really place it, but it's so surreal and really genuinely creepy.

      Me too! I love surreal stuff that makes people uncomfortable without even knowing why. I noticed a few things that might have caused some people to feel this.
      - The blurriness of the faces (Just like in your dreams, the faces of the people in the clips are extremely vague and you can't identify real facial features)
      - The music and sounds (The volume is fading in and out, screaming can be heard over the music, even though the camera is extremely close to some of the attractions the music still seems very distant much like in many dreams)
      - The smoothness of the animation (The animation is so smoothly done that it's almost as if it moves slightly slower than it should. This is exactly like in the dreams of most people)
      Could be totally wrong idk. Just love this kinda stuff!

'Wedding Cake' = any example of HUSS Breakdance. 2. 'Spherotron" = a standard chairoplane, e.g. made by Zierer. 3. 'Expander' = a basic children ride. 4. 'HAC' = obviously any ferris wheel, in this case they took footage of "Colossus" by German showman Goebel. 5. 'Dandelion' = HUSS Frisbee, in this case the example owned by German showman Robrahn, as of nowadays installed in Riad. 6. 'SPC' = "Power Tower 2" by German showman Schneider. 7. 'Schwingmaschine' = Giant Booster by Fabbri, in this case "Boostermaxxx" by German showman Hoefnagels. Or check other examples of it; "Apollo 13", "XXL Racer",...

    I think the reason this feels so 'dreamlike' as some people say is the way they talk about really crazy and nonsensical things like it's totally normal. You know how when you dream and you believe everything you're experiencing, and only after you wake up do you slowly realize, "...wait, that was WEIRD" ? That's how watching this feels. Dude will say things like "oh yeah, this one ride was 14 hours long" and "for this ride we catapulted riders like a slingshot", and you just... accept it.

    The horrific scale and seemingly incomprehensibly infinite some of these machines are remind me a lot of Lovecraftian horror, although a mechanical type of Lovecraftian horror.

    There are very few if any videos that will make you feel the way this one does, the disconcerting physics behind each of these mechanical nightmares feel just so borderline possible yet so impossible at the same time that you can’t help but feel uneasy, just watching this with the mental assumption that there are people on these constructions, especially if you don’t know that the video is just excellently well-edited, is absolutely bonechilling because you can feel their fear.
    The main three which really get you are the wedding cake and its nightmarish movement almost feeling alive somehow…
    The steam catapult for its randomly selected boundlessness that goes into the clouds beyond what the camera can visibly sight paired with the horrific speed at which it launches suddenly is enough to give anyone chills just thinking about getting on it.
    And finally the one at the very end of the video, the one that I call ‘The Trebuchet’ with its absurd and unpredictable hastened spinning motions seemingly so quick that it could have the potential of massacring anyone who chose to go inside gives an extremely uncomforting and awful sense of dread as if you are watching something you weren’t meant to bear witness to.
    This is just my mental breakdown behind this masterpiece, well done, got me thinking about it to this day after seeing it years ago.

    this is… amazing. the way the video starts with odd yet believable contraptions that you could imagine existing in the real world. and then it escalates. the scientist’s described “setbacks” become more and more horrifying to imagine as the rides slowly get bigger and bigger, and you start to question if the screams you hear are screams of joy.
    it’s like slowly walking into a pool that gets deeper and deeper. at first it’s fine, your feet are touching the ground, the situation is under control. but then you have to crane your neck to keep your face above the surface, and your feet lift off of the ground, and you suddenly realize something is very very wrong.

    Spherethon: For the spherethon to make riders float, it would need a top speed of 40 MPH, plus, the top level riders, couldn't float upside down, without a sort of "electric machine" to be able to elevate the top row riders upside down, also, how will you get them up there, and since these elevated carousel rides are slow, how will you float, and what restraints will you use.
    The Wedding Cake: for the wedding cake, the speed of how it would elevate up is 60MPH, with G forces of 4.5, and how quickly it decelerates, restraints would be completely unstable and snap off, launching riders into the air, and plummeting about 40 ft. if it was waist restraints if would slide you out, dislocating and breaking your legs and kneecaps, if that didn't happen the swinging on the final time would be enough to reach 6 G's and launch you out of your seat, killing you on impact.
    High Altitude Conveyance: like mentioned, the high altitude conveyance takes 14 hours, and waiting another 14 hours for new passengers to board, you would go 28 hours without food or water, which is dangerous for the human body and especially for kids, since you would pretty much um... starve, not to death, but you would start going absolutely bonkers, as the human mind cannot go more than a day without food before it starts to go crazy.
    The Expander: The expander goes up to 5.3 G's when extending, and for a kids ride... you would um... faint, and plus, since it would use seatbelts, the chord would snap off and fling you 20 feet into the air, causing major injuries when hitting the ground, possibly even, death.
    Dandelion: The dandelion is a really fun and compact design, although rides like this do exist, the don't have the 2 extra frisbee like seats, also, when the seats are expanding you would hit a max of 2.7 G's final, but how would people board, without waiting a max 4 minutes hanging up there, combined 12 minutes for full boarding ,and an extra 30 seconds for carefully and slowly lowering the frisbee like seats, for a max of 13 minutes and 30 seconds, which could cause a blackout, or even, a red out for hanging upside down for too long
    Steam Pressure Catapult/SPC: the SPC would hit a max 10 G's, which would kill you in 10 seconds without protection (AS DEMONSTRATED IN TOP GUN MAVERICKS 10G STUNT) plus, the route is connected to the main one, which would snap off the whole disk and send passengers flying, also, where is the track to return, its just a death ride pretty much, also, it would be enough to dislocate all you limbs due to the max speed of about 220 MPH
    ScwingingMachine: The Schwiningmachine would break your spine, and dislocate both of your arms, then dislocate your ankles, worse yet your eyes would be pushed back by the wind, keeping you blind forever, and since it decelerates so fast, the restraints would break your ribs, although if it was one that goes to your waist it would dismember your torso keeping intact your arms and head, and when hitting the ground fast, you would travel about 140 ft from the ride, and your legs would land somewhere else, to achieve that you would need a WHOPPING 67 G's to pull that off, and astronauts on the Apollo 11 only reached 6.1 G's, on the other side, the rides G forces would destroy the entire ride in just a couple milliseconds, which would launch you out of your seats and kill you instantly.

      I have beef with you! Nah, you’re fine but I do have a response. Obviously these rides could never exist and the g forces alone would mess you up. But don’t you think that stronger seatbelts made to withstand the force already exist with these rides, just as the rides do? Also, I’d assume you can bring food and water onto a 14 hour ride with you. I also feel as if the point of this film was to evoke that creepy, disassociated surrealism a lot of people have described, and to show off some cool ride designs even if they’re death machines. Trying to criticize the rides for their impossibility seems like you’re missing the point.
      Then again I could be misinterpreting your comment and you’re not criticizing the film but informing people in the comments in which case go off ig 😂
      Tldr; a few of your points don’t really hold up to the idea that these rides themselves are advanced technology, and I myself am willing to suspend my disbelief for the fiction.

    @allyenderman1502 3 года назад +410

    I love this video. I've been clinging to the mental images for like four years. It's such a solid settle into a sudden uncanny valley per each ride. And I think it's due to the concept that humans innately have a basic understanding of how physics work, even if it's not by name of numbers. they can look at something and go "something about this doesn't seem right." Not to mention they all start out pretty damn plausible (look at the Wedding Cake, for example) and actually based off of real amusement park rides, but then they suddenly and rapidly devolve into unreality. That switch is enough to catch you off-guard.
    And the scale of everything invokes a fear too on an instinctive level. The "Steam Pressure Catapult" is a fantastic depiction of that scale in conjunction with the physics because it almost looks like it could work in theory until you see the cars launch and actually notice the paths of the tracks and how there seems to be no real way for the cars to change tracks like they're shown to. But at the same time, it makes you sort of question it.
    High Altitude Conveyance doesn't delve so much into uncanny valley due to the absurdity of the concept, though. Especially when you hear the "14 hour ride" part. That's literally the travel time from Virginia to Florida by car. That one is simultaneously the most feasible and the most ludicrous, even if just by description. And yet, it still feels like it might be possible.
    At least that's my interpretation of why all of it comes across as dreamlike or almost creepy to some folks. The actual graphics work is outstandingly realistic though. You can only really tell when each one goes from footage to 3DCG fabrication if you know what to look for. It's just subtle enough for most people not to notice it though, and in terms of technical ability that's fantastic and honestly better than I've seen in some Hollywood films. Not even for just an independent filmmaker, this is amazing. This stuff is amazing with a team of people who've been doing this for 30 years. As weirdly pretentious as this sounds, it looks almost like it could be real in a different universe just off-kilter from parallel to this one. One where physics work ever so slightly different, or humans can withstand just a little more extreme physical strain without injury or death. It all looks PLAUSIBLE, just not here.
    Also apologies for any janky topic-switching. I have severe ADHD (borderline autism?) and my god is this a hell of a lot to take in no matter how many times I watch it. But I also have a special interest in horror and film design so I kind of have a feel for why things have the effect they do.

    This is such a good combination of hilarious and unsettling. It did cause me some mild nausea, and the weirdness creeped me out, especially of the really massive rides, but the absurdity of the idea of someone making these and thinking its ok to let real human beings (not real but real in the story. I know it's fake lol) ride them was really funny to me. And the scientist's nonsense explanations for stuff and his inability to realize that what he's saying and doing is insane is hilarious to me. He said these things so nonchalantly like they make perfect sense. I love when he was talking about "people didn't realize the ride was 14 hours" and "gravity was a mistake". He just has no self awareness about how batshit his ideas are. Everyone talks about the creepiness of the video, and I definitely get that effect from it a lot, but the comedy aspect is great too. I showed this video to my dad and we were both laughing a ton. And as scary as the rides themselves are, the scariness can be funny because of how they are such obvious death traps that only a maniac like that scientist would think they're ok.
