No Limits 2 - World's of Fun's Orient Express

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I have been using the roller coaster simulation software No Limits 2 (www.nolimitscoaster.de) to recreate lost coasters. This one is the Orient Express looping coaster that ran at Kansas City's Worlds of Fun from 1980 until 2003 when it was demolished.
RIP ORIENT EXPRESS. This was the best coaster ever. It will truly be missed but never forgotten.
Isn't it The mamba ?
@@tinawedlakejohnnysangel No, i'm sure the Orient Express was probably long before Mamba was built.
@@Monorail-Beyond-the-Veil Ok, thank you for clarifying. love me some coaster.
Completely agree
Now its the patriot. Same exact ride just repainted and renamed
I ran the Orient Express that first year in 1980. This is an awesome simulation but there are a few corrections needed. You entered from the opposite side of the house. There was a double piece of track before entering the house that could be moved to let trains go downstairs (to the right) in the lower part of the house for maintenance. Also, there was a "chicken" exit from the right side of the house, over the tunnel and out the left side. However, I was amazed at how the C brake (after the 2nd loop) sounded. It took me back because it's so accurate! Nobody died on the coaster. It had some rollbacks over the years and it did derail but nobody was killed. Also, during that first year, the back seat of one of the trains had a computer strapped in that measured the train's movement, etc. We were told it was due to a lawsuit but I don't know if that's true.
Wasnt there a neon sign that had the logo n orient on it above the tunnel?
what was the WOF coaster that had the double barrel roll corkscrew?
@@christophers5510 EXT for short or Extremeroller full name
@@Thegreatjoker13 It wasn't neon - it was plastic.
@@christophers5510 That was the Screamroller.
my favorite ride, sorry to see it gone :(
I loved this coaster. To this day, nothing tops it. Some great coasters out there, but this one is perfection. I wish someone would rebuild this track plan.
Close... but this doesn't have nearly enough concussions or whiplash. I'm just kidding. This is awesome! Great job!
This was my first roller coaster growing up. Thanks for helping relive that exp
Wow ... if only it rode that smooth!
I rode this when I was 5 or 6 in 1981, in the front seat, with my best friend at the time Jason Swain. I was so little I almost slid out between the shoulder harness. I was holding on for dear life.
That slow gentle curve between the lift and the big drop always made me queasy and I never knew why. I think maybe my first ride was in the mid-80s and I'd never been that high and had no idea I had a fear of heights. I had ideas of maybe being a pilot so I think that maybe was part of it. Eventually I discovered that I'm pretty okay with "low heights" where I may not get hurt falling and "high heights" where I'll definitely die, lol. I think its mainly the possibility of being paralyzed or a vegetable I always feared. When I felt just sort of "wrong" on that damn curve I figured Id be really scared at the drop. That was nothing. I loved getting a LOT closer to the ground, lol. The rest of the ride was great. I think my first ride it was pretty new, the line wasn't bad and they were expecting weather so they'd scrubbed the ride once and go to the end of the line deal and were letting us stay in and go again.

Nice work sir...an excellent re-creation. I grew up on the OE. You nailed it.
But no KC skyline😭😭😭
I love the Kansas City mountain passes 😂
I was born in 2003 so I never got to ride it, it's a shame bc it looks fun
Ariana 1106 wish I could have as well
The best
I was born in 95 first ride I ever rode
Thank you! Dad says the best part was the Chicken Exit right before you board and scary writings saying turn back! Mom says it tried to break her neck! I was 15 when it closed in 2003, I never rode it, had many opportunities, but was too chicken!🐔💖
I miss it.. so violent lol so much fun
Such a great roller coaster. I miss it
My very first rollercoaster... oh the memories...
It would be nice if Worlds of Fun still kept had this! It would have been a great coaster line up!
Pretty darn accurate. I worked at the park (Express and Rip Cord) in 2001. I got the full experience of cleaning trash out of the tunnel one day during down time (storm and power outage). Quite greasy and gross down there. The station house is, as last I knew, used as a haunted house. Last I was there, you walked into the attraction through the exit of the old tunnel and up some stairs. The open area in the station house where the track was is now covered.
With the interlocking loops it reminds me of Loch Ness Monster
Same company Arrow dynamics
Closest rendition but you for got the little hill in the helix. That helix was so gnarly!
Aaah... Memories back when I grew up in Kansas City. Now I live in Kentucky.
I rode this the first year it was open. I loved this coaster.
This was my first big roller coaster. I rode it when it first opened in 1980. Too bad it got to be a bit rough in the 90's.
If only it were this smooth in real life 😂
At 0:49, where's the parking lot? :-)
great job in recreating this roller coaster I remember it for sure. I miss it though but, things change i guess
I survived the derailment with my sister, in 1999. The ride was shut down and demolished before investigators (other than cedar fair appointed investigators) were able to inspect the ride. I was 11 years old and have suffered from injuries ever since. "Nobody died" but the ride was unsafe and they knew it.
I dislocated my jaw and got a head concussion on it. Fun times. Still have issues chewing gum 25+ years later. It was a monster.
Whyyy did they ever get rid of this ride??? My mom told me about it from her childhood and seeing the simulation, it would be a hit today! They should bring this one back too
OMG my first roller coaster ride. I vividly remember screaming out “why, why, why did I do this? Is it too late to stop?”
It looks fun until I remember it was an arrow and probably rattled your bones worse than the timber wolf lol
I actually heard it was one of the smoother arrows
I'm sad they shut it down.... it was a great ride..
Nice vid. Enjoyed it.
Two things, first this sim doesn't do it anywhere near justice.... way too smooth. That ride put your fillings at risk. Secondly, at 1:39 there is a tree that's upside down.
Travis Smith lol
Looks good. When you came out of the station it was a dip down then curve. Oh when you loaded the train u loaded the right side instead of the left side like the way you have it. Are you gonna try Zambezi Zinger or SchussBoomer?
zac613 those were taken down...................
I know those were taken down. I meant if Paul would recreate Zambezi Zinger and Schussboomer.
Great job
Nice! Really hope that RMC will have interlocking loops on some of their T-Rex track coasters.
If only Orient were this smooth. It was fun none the less, as Arrow coasters go.
last time rode the overhead bar wouldn't lock I was a bug guy. one of the operators climbed on the car in front braced himself. used his feet the push until it clicked. said ok your good to go.
The simulation didn't do this ride Justice. It didn't really pick up how the loops would clang back-and-forth ominously every time the trains would go through them...
Why was the Orient Express demolished ?
Here is the story -

It's really interesting - seems like the Orient is still longed for! I think they should rebuild it but bigger and better
they took it down for a new roll coaster I'm pretty sure the parts of it token down are still there born in 2004 never got to ride it looks freaking fun
It was taken down because it was a maintenance nightmare
No, it was taken down because it derailed and stranded my sister and I upside down for 2 and half hours with severe injuries. They demolished it so that there was less evidence in a lawsuit against cedar point, who owned the park.
This is awesome. Did the patriot take this rides place in real life?
Yes it did. This ride was great, but Patriot is better.
yoyoyoyo FUCK YOU!
No unfortunately it was the spinning dragons kiddy and family friendly coaster that took its place
The Spinning Dragon is the spot that the orient express was
also arrow went bankrupt the orient express's manufacturer/ parts supplier went defunct.
Close enough
NOLIMITS IS SO HARD
wish they would put it back un
they should redo it like the zinger
Good idea.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Where's the chicken exit
Next to the first row lane in the station.
Mamba
Why did they take it down
Poor upkeep.
Virgil Lapointe too many people died
The BM Invert Patriot is in its place.
Matthew Milliken NO ONE EVER DIED ON THIS RIDE YA FUCKING TROLL!
First of all, no one died. The ride was old, not well maintained, and had broken down several times during its later years. I miss the crap out of this.
Jesus is the only way into Heaven. Ask Him into your life, cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Make Him your Lord & your Savior. One day you will enter the Kingdom of Haven. Amen.
This is not even close to the real thing.....
John Quack I went off of blueprints from Arrow, photos, videos as well as my own recollections. Please feel free to do a more accurate version.
