i'm watching this while i'm supposed to be in online school. priorities, yall
Who ever told you it takes 4 hours to set up the kmg invertion lied to you, it takes 1.5 hours but 4 hours to fill the water balist tank. I worked on rock rage the uks touring version and happy to answer any questions about it.
I got the info off the KMG website, it was probably referring to the overall time from trailer to operating.
@@CoasterCollege possibly, unless the ment the time from build up to filling the builge tank. I'll have a look if I have some build up photos of the one I worked on if you want or if you want any information on them from operating and so on happy to answer any questions. Rock rage is the only inverter in the UK of its type that I'm aware of.
Do you still work on rock rage I went on it only a few days ago at Trafford Centre half term fair amazing ride
@@Ukfairgrounds i do yea, was it you i spoke to with the drown the other night? I've just been pulling it down today as we are not sure if it's staying at Trafford or moving on. Also had to pull the wave swinger down to get the coaster out to be replaced with a log flume.
@@sduff7027 no that wasn’t me I don’t have a drone I went down last Saturday about 1pm haven’t done rock rage since verdin park Northwich 2019 so fort it’s worth the trip down I’m from Knutsford so not to far also wanted to ride that Mouse coaster went on that back a few months in Oldham omg it’s like a waltzer it spins so fast. If your open to answer questions I’m wondering about something I know uk fairgrounds are some of the safest in the world so how often dose rage rage have safety checks and how in-depth are they
These rides are less nauseating than you'd expect. Non-inverting pendulum rides make me almost barf and these are just fun!
The inversion has to be one of my favorite park rides. I remember riding it for the first time slightly nervous because it went upside down but the fact that I love the normal version Freakout made me excited so when the flips came and the ride finished. I fell in love. Sadly I haven’t sent the things flip anymore but I still go on it anyways because it’s fun.
I just love these types of pendulum rides. I am lucky to experience both loop fighter and KMG inversion
Like being "twirled" around like a cheerleaders baton! Just aMaZiNg! How many ways one can get flipped and spun @ the same time.
My favourite flat ride of all still to this day is the enterprise. I've particular interest to me is the very unique sound it makes both on the ground and in the air.
ive been on every single one exhept the mini loop fighter.
in general id say the bigger the higher the forces but less jerky/intense.
Infinity is awsome, hanging upside down that high is a really cool feeling
The inversion 12s are amall but pack quite a punch if you get a good cyle
The loop fighter is a bit less comfortable than the inversion 12 but just as intense if not more since they can unlock and lock the gondolas at every part of the swing and tend to it more often than the inversion 12s
The fabri inversion is inbetween the loopfigher/inversion 12 and the inversion 24. doing a full roation while inverted is really cool.
i love all of them and they all have their qualities and shortcomings
I’m New To Your Channel & Absolutely Loving These Videos So Far, Great Content! 👍🏻
Yay! The stinger is a loop fighter ride and it's best one in Naples, Florida!
I think the KMG Infinity and Fabbri Inversion XXL are 2 of the most intense / best / insane rides of all funfair rides in my opinion 😇
i have ridden just yesterday the first version on the loopfighter at a fair in spain and was wowed
I love The Freakout. I can't wait to ride the others.
Here's my current wishlist for future FROTW videos (unchanged from last week):
Matterhorn / Flying Bobs & Trabant / Hully Gully - these were mentioned in a previous video, and I look forward to seeing them.
.
Rainbow / 1001 Nacht
Paratrooper
Orbiter
Miami
'Cuddle-Up' (basically an 'n'th-degree teacup ride) ... I'll never forget the in-the-dark "Iceberg" at Dorney Park
This looks so fun!
I've been on a No Limit loop fighter in the UK and it's is well wicked Especially when you get forcefull swings.
The Beast at Vancouvers PNE is one of these! My wife loves it!!
Sorry but thats not an inversion, its a normal swing ride.
I love loop fighters amazing machine
Nice video again. Love these!
Maybe an idea, would it it be possible for the main namesake of the ride to show a bit more of the setup and transport of the ride? I think the technique to get the funfair rides on the road is amazing!
Keep this going, and I also think the looks of this ride are deceiving, it is not as nauseating as it looks.
Seconded! I went down an engin-nerd rabbit hole after you showed how the Larson Loop used it's own hydraulic system to set itself up from a single truck... so anything on the logistics of these rides is always welcome 👍
@@medea27 I will be happy to answer any questions on the build up of these rides and get you some photos of the 1 my boss has
If you want any photos of the load before set up and in transport mode and being built up I'll happily send you some of my bosses version rock rage, I'm almost sure there is a time laps video on RUclips somewhere
I've used to work for kissel entertainment & i got to operate the inversion, its so much fun
Were you able to unlock the gondolas and allow them to freespin?
@@CoasterCollege yes we were able to
The kmg inversion 12 is my favorite flat ride! You dont know if you're upside down or not when the gondola unlocks
Rode both here in ger multiple times, I love them. Not gonna lie, I prefer the Loop Fighter, even though I think it's less comfortable. But a little pain is okay, lol. The unlocked gondolas swing much faster and harder. Feels like the arm swings faster too, so more g forces. What I don't like about the Loop Fighter are the lights. The whole ride is covered in way too bright LED's. Driving past a fair at night with one of these things standing there is not fun at all.
On both the Inversion and LF the ride experience is intense, but far from extreme. Doesn't have to be though. The Pegasus is pretty similar to the LF (Gondolas and stuff like that), but way more intense. Doesn't have that nice high upside down view though.
The Loop Fighter in Niagara had the base of its legs torched off so it would need new legs to be setup again. it currently resides at a race track in Los Angeles dismantled along with a majority of the rides from the park. I run the Loop Fighter, The Stinger for Reithoffer. We currently have plans for big upgrades to the ride in the works. We've been told the flipping seats are the LEAST favorite part of the ride. Some fairs we do not flip the seats. We only run Cycles 1 and 2, never 3 or 4 and never manual. Last year I spent about 5k on an all new speaker system and triple fog machine set up for The Stinger. We're always looking for news ways to make her looking her best. There is another loop fighter coming to the US this year
I’ve been on Ordelman’s inversion XXL when it still had four gondolas. One thing that ride did was stall at the top with the gondolas unlocked. It would then lock them and go down, letting you rush past the ground upside down. This was very cool.
That sounds awesome!
They still kinda do. Usually, you get 1 of these "go past the ground upside down" feelings. Depending on the mood of the operator, you may however get more than that. I usually get 2-3 of these when I film POVs.
I’ve been on Stinger at the Staten Island Mall Fair in 2017
I bet you can't wait to get on that new drop tower in Orlando
Hi great video we had three traveling loopfighters in my country now we only have two as the third one has been sold to a theme park it is now in soudi arabia it was called the air max 360 sadly i never got to ride it its colour is similar to the king loops blue and white
My fav flat of all time!
I remember getting on one for the first time back in 2012-2013, and it was horrifying. Not because it was really intense, but because the restraint was too loose. I remember feeling myself slipping out, and in a panic I had wrapped my key lanyard around the restraint to try to hold onto it better.
I haven't been to that amusement park since then, and whenever I see videos of that specific Loop Fighter, it gives me massive anxiety.
Over react much
I've been on both a Loop Fighter and Inversion, but unfortunately in both cases, the cycle was quite short and not very intense. On the other hand, I rode two "Pegasus 16" (also from Technical Park) and while looking very similar to the Loop Fighter, these little rides are by far more extreme - one of the best flat ride models ever created!
This is like a freak out mixed with a zipper
Rode one of these kmg inversions at the Texas state fair last year. Really fun. But it was locked the whole cycle
Ah thats unfortunate that the seats didn't unlock, wonder who owns the ride?
@@CoasterCollege I think Houghton enterprises used to own the ride but sold it to a company named mr ed’s magical midways. The ride’s name is Air maxx!
@@CoasterCollege a lot of the KMG Inversions in the US no longer flip the seats. I've been told the ride I work on, The Stinger, is the only one that flips the seats now, and it's not even a KMG. I've seen and ridden many KMG Inversions here in the US and none of them that I've been on flip the seats. They don't flip the seats because of money and throughput. They can make more money and still thrill people without flipping the seats.
I love theseee
Would the KMG Speed 32 be considered a loop fighter/inversion ride?
put me on roller coasters all day long but this absolutely terrifies me. i felt very unsteady on it.
Really? That's interesting.
Have you been on the Vertigo ride at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen? It spins on 3 axes, and loops insanely fast.
Not yet sadly, bit it looks great!
I think it just got announced for closure...
If you ever decide to do the Tornado flatrides please lmk I operated Howler at Hersheypark. Ive also operated The Kissing Tower - which is an observation tower ride.
Do you have discord? If you do contact me on there, if not shoot me an email.
@@CoasterCollege will do
4:26 unfortunately, most of the rides that were there were sold and removed from the park when APEX closed the park.
The infinity (inversion 24) has the ability to unlock but they can’t due to safety the forces would be to high why make a ride that can do that but you won’t actually do it
Been on both (England)
I work in the only version in Portugal 🥰😇
Please can you do Hurricanes / downdrafts / Saturn 6?
Its on our list of rides to cover! But it will still be a little bit before we do them!
I like to convince myself that I'll go on any flatride, but I must admit: I got cold feet when seeing Inversion at the MN State Fair and did not go on it when I had the chance. It's highly unlikely I'll get back to MN any time soon, so unless one of these opens up in my backyard (say, any Jersey beach), I probably won't get another chance.
I've never been on a LoopFighter, but I *have* been on something that kinda resembles it: called Delusion, it doesn't go purely vertical (more like 60 degrees, maybe more), but it otherwise has what I believe to be a similar feel.
Here's a link to a YT video featuring Delusion: ruclips.net/video/ep5no9yCh7E/видео.html
As always, a fun and informative video!
There are some of these in SOUTH AMERICAS not only in usa
Indeed there are, but our count of 12 was only for the US.
A little thing you missed. KMG has started to create the inversion after the huge succes of Abbie Danters AIR in Tilburg, Which is a Zierer Star Shape. So KMG Copied that Idea, and made the concept a bit smaller. Only issue: The ride was too intense. So they had to adjust the initial design to make it past the very strict TUV SUD regulations. Then there is the Infinity. The reason only 1 has been sold, is that the gondola's are not able to loop like you said, only slightly rocking due to High G-forces and miscalculations in the contra-weight of the machine by KMG. The Infinity is because of this high G-Forces, only allowed to make 1 looping only by the TUV SUD. I rode the Infinity, and I have to say: It is without the looping gondolas and just the one looping, extremely intens. There is just so much G-Force pulling you. This is not a ride for the GP in most parks and most fairs. Although the fairs in Germany have BIG lines for it.
5:20 147 meters, higher height requirement than the entire ride!
He said one hundred and fourty centimeters. Not 147 metres
This ride doesn't make sense, half the seats are braked half the time. So it just becomes a swing ride
