I did raise an eyebrow when I heard about Toxicator's bizarre world's first, but I don't mind it since it gives another reason to be hyped for it. There aren't many Alton Towers rides than can specifically market how high up you'll be lest the neighbours riot. As I'm a huge Oblivion fan, I'll forgive the 87.5 degree drop. There was a technical reason with the brakes as to why it couldn't be fully vertical, and you barely notice it on or off ride. Marketing it as "The world's first just 2.5 degrees off vertical rollercoaster.
tbf, a twin coasters isnt automatically duelling. Like Max & Moritz at Efteling isn't duelling even if people say it is. Also, Formule X at Drievliet in the Netherlands opened in 2007 and had a single made bij Kus. So that wikipedia claim is wrong. I would also call an SLC a Psycoaster :P
worlds first second cal vickers video of 2025
world's first cal vickers I heard
My favourite Merlin's world's first is them claiming Derren Brown's Ghost Train was "truly... the world’s first ‘smart’ theme park attraction"
@@MikeFromTheParty I genuinely think I could make a whole separate video about the taglines attached with derren browns ghost train

Wait so not only is the world's first single thing stupid its not even TRUE???
@CalVickers33 in fact, the Thunderbolt at Dreamworld in Australia had its own single too, and that coaster was from 1982. So its not even close
worlds first flying coaster actually was in manchester lol
@@alexsmith7449 Okay that is actually true I forgot about that one
@@CalVickers33 the 200 riders per hour machine
Came to say that! Skytrack at Granada Stuidios in 1997! Madness that thing existed!!
Actually galactica was the world's first 'B&M' flying coaster
Merlin are mad for their claims! I do wish they would strop with the "worlds first" bollocks and just get on with making good rides and atractions! XD
Thing is a lot of these rides kinda speak for themselves! Sometimes shoehorning a world's first onto it just makes it sound a bit lame
Peppa pig joke oml 😂😂😂😂
hahaha had to be done
