It’s so funny watching Ryan riding these. I notice he zooms in on the lift cables, drive tires, the proxy sensors, cables, brakes and nuts and bolts 😁. It’s like he is giving each item a rating 🤣. Should have helped them fix there boomerang coaster while you were there 👍
@@jackschissler255 restraints are open and catch wagon was at the top. That tells me it was ready to run but they didn’t have the crew possibly.
“It was built by skyline so I wonder if the train was going to fit down the track” is a very good quote 😂
😂
😁
Windseeker Operator: We’re calling maintenance
Ryan: *starts getting flashbacks 😂.
The Skyline shade is on point. I only rode HQCC 3 times when it existed. It felt and sounded like being in a car crash.
I was honestly surprised!
I can only imagine what it must be like to visit a park with Ryan The Ride Mechanic.
"That bolt seems loose, that ride doesn't sound right, lets skip this ride" 😂😂
Its like taking a food hygiene expert to a restaurant for a meal 😂
We want more of these videos 😊😊
And i caught the 'lets go ride some wood, Giggidy'😂😂😂
I keep to my self to not enrage the other people with me. My family just sits quietly “don’t ask don’t ask don’t ask” hahaha!
@ryantheridemechanic 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice vlog! Patriot is now known as the "panda express compressor" 😂
@@Doofles ooffff. Man it was rough. Like having a brick in your stomach at 2Gs. We both had to wait a bit more after the “Panda Express compressor” hahaha!!
Love seeing my hometown park and my daughter working in the vid this was great
@@torriekinney-garrett3725 nice!
Loved the tour and commentary 😂 Also happy to see they still are running a HUSS Enterprise 👏. Hopefully you got some cool footage for future explanation videos 😜
@@dihedraldesign7978 a little
We rode it a few weeks ago. It had been 30 years since my last.
Id count this as a vlog. You should do more!
Ha! Thanks. Nearest park is 2.5hr away so it’s hard. Not impossible but hard.
@@ryantheridemechanic Closest park for me is 2 hours.
The B&Ms are always running. They may be down sometimes but more reliable than the other name brands 😁
Haha! I love the conversation between you and your son. When he said “like and subscribe” I laughed out loud. And his comment about it not being his money … totally me and my kids every time we’re at our home park 😂 great video!
I have to add, being a parent who loves rides/coasters almost always guarantees your kids will think you’re cool. Love to see you and your son having a great time together.
@@CritterCrossingFam thank you so much! Head got a great sense of humor. My daughter does to but she was working this trip. I’ll bring up a WTF situation and sometimes my sone will inject “yes but did you like and subscribe” I get a kick out of it. But they watch RUclips constantly. Honestly in my opinion I’d rather watch RUclips over network tv. RUclips creators have less holding them back and they don’t care really what rating will do unless they are a full timer.
@@ryantheridemechanic totally agree about preferring RUclips over network TV! My kids barely know what network TV is, which is cool in my book. I’d rather them watch all the super focused content they enjoy, which is usually offbeat and educational, of their choosing.
Having funny and awesome kids who also enjoy the same things is just the best part of life! My daughter loves Magnum at Cedar Point because it’s “a people eater” in terms of capacity. I smile so big when she says it!
@@CritterCrossingFam that’s such a Disney term! Well I first heard that from Disney when they introduced the Omni mover systems that can do 1450 people an hour. Refered to it as a people eater haha.
@@ryantheridemechanic haha right!! I want to say she picked up the phrase off ElToroRyan! We watch a lot of coaster content in this house!
You should come out to SeaWorld for the surf coaster! I'm sure theres some GREAT nerd shots of that, also a flyer, and the new protoype B&M family coaster
Some day I’ll get out there. Right now if we are in Orlando we are going to Disney. Hope also to make it to islands of adventure as well one day.
Worlds of Fun was nicer, bigger and better than I expected.
It was a confusing layout to navigate for us.
@@SlackerWannaB it’s big. But after retuning a second time it seemed much smaller and familiar as well
Oh god, where to start 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Windseeker at Cedar Point took so long on a manual mode evc I got 2 rides on Gatekeeper with lines to watch. Next time I went I got on Windseeker, hoping it would fault so I could work on my tan😂 Dang thing worked like it was supposed to, oh well. I can also sympathize the struggle is real trying to get good nerd shots, I fail more than I succeed. By far, the best part of this was the father and son comedy😂😂😂😂
@@LTCoasters I always consider recording the drive. We have so many good / funny conversations along the way.
Ahhh nothin like a fun day at Six Balloons over Fun
Your videos are the best ! ❤
You’re so cool!!!
@@TheParkPlanet thanks!
Those Windseekers need to go. Cedar Fair put one in each park, each one gets stuck several times a season. You would think they would find the issue and remedy it. If I was a mechanic and had to do a rescue on it several times/season, I would request. That it goes. Obviously Mondial has issues but can’t find a fix.
@@jackschissler255 we had issues with the star flyers and corp engineers ended up making a whole bunch of changes to the program to make them run more reliably. That was A very odd circumstance for us.
I’m glad you were looking for loose bolts
No dippin dots for ride evacs. Let them get that day old funnel cake. Plain. No powdered sugar, no chocolate drizzle, no strawberries. Just a plain, day old funnel cake.
Cyclone Sam will always be one of my favorite flat rides, and I'm glad to see how many people are pleasantly surprised by it. Beyond being fun and unique, it's AIR CONDITIONED! Best ride feature, hands down.
Always glad to see the home park in my feed 😊
Awesome, I'm going there in a couple weeks!!
Great video! Loved the vlog style!
"Was it worth $150?" Best question ever asked.
Let's see the fireworks haul!
@@dreamingtree101 we mainly window shopped.
Nebraska fan?? Never thought I'd see the day...
@@sharkheadism it’s the only think to buy when your in Nebraska haha! When game day rolls around and your don’t have an N or something red on you stick out around here.
lol I loved that evac. I can’t believe manual mode was that slow getting them down. I was considering riding one of those rides. However after seeing that ride evac it is a no for me. Hey man in number 4 we will have you down soon. I’m dead☠️ edited to say it looks like you both had a blast!
I’m told a normal recovery is faster. But I have nothing to back that up.
@@ryantheridemechanic I’m guessing you haven’t had one of these rides ever need an evacuation?
@@christiwright3604 not personally. In fact the only real time I’ve come close to dealing with these is when the one at Knots got stuck for 3 hours up there.
@@ryantheridemechanic oh wow 3 hours now that is worth a funnel cake! Just not Dippin dots.
Come ride it with me. It will work just fine. I just wanted a tan and a nap for crying out loud and it did its job. 😂😂
Cyclone Sam's took me completely by surprise, really fun ride.
Wow I was not ready for that one!! No one across from me. So I stretched my legs out. Bad idea. Sore calf after that one.
Just 4234 miles from here. Great video as always.
4234? Why don’t you go more? Haha! Thanks!
I get a free large dippin dots this month at my local park. (Season pass holder loyalty program, had to go 11 times in 14 days to get the free dippin dots but I live close). 😊😅
My parks app deleted my pass and that's how they do pass perks. So no perks for me this season. I really think they owe me a Dippin dots for the money they are saving 😂😂😂
Ryan I understand why Mine Blower in Florida received GCIs new steel track, and Lightning Rod, Tremors, Timber Terror, Boulderdash & 1 or 2 others I'm missing. However, Zambezi Zinger is the first brand-new coaster to install this ugly, noisy, horrible track. My question for you is WHY? Why did GCI decide to use their steel track only on the lift and wood track on the rest?
@@crooked-halo the area around the steel lift and surrounding supports, had a lot of stress on them that a wood laminate stack would not be able to take. At least not without a massive substructure. So my guess is that the steel is doing a functional job to help the train in those areas and other places they were able to construct traditional wood by standard as much lower cost to maintain so I can see that probably would’ve brought the price of the ride way down.
I have a feeling all those wind seeker rides are gonna be replaced with Funtime star flyers eventually
Maybe. I know the Funtime flyer. I’m not impressed with the wind seeker.
you mentioned there was only a small number of on that ride. Could be out of balance and get a harmonic going or is not fast enough for that ??
@@martindooley4439 anything is possible. The sub structure looks big enough that the external weight shouldn’t affect it. But I’m unfamiliar with the safety programming so I can’t really dive deep on it.
Queue the jeopardy theme song for the slowest ride evac.
@@soccerndog3785 even the Jeopardy loop got tired and broke 1/2 way through.
detonator is probably gen 1 cause I rode that in 95 or 96?
It really threw me not seeing the return cable. Luckily maintenance was able to talk with me and get some info. Very nice guy.
It even sounds different!
Edit: Guess I should have kept watching
@@sypex6873 haha!
Hey Ryan! Great vlog, can't wait to see more. Have u worked on a B&M invert before? And I hope Im not the only one who loves the clicking when a train comes into the station lol what causes that? Thanks and take care! Also, how old is ur son? Its crazy how much he looks like you lol genetics are interesting lol.
does the lack of return cable on the S&S towers mean they’re only able to run space shot mode??
@@adriandesantiago4748 yes. And it’s also whey the cylinders only stop 3/4 of the way up and the top is just dead space.
Skyline designs all layouts for GCI. Skyline is a parent company of GCI as well. Or more like daughter company how is that called in English?
@@DJWezzyK if skyline owns GCI, skyline would be the parent, GCI would be the child.
@@ryantheridemechanic It is the other way round. GCI owns Skyline, according to their C.E.O. in a interview at I.A.A.P.A. Orlando.
@@DJWezzyK ah ok. So GCI is the parent company and Skyline is the child company.
@@ryantheridemechanic Yes. And Skyline does all the layout designs for GCI. And GCI uses Skyline now as a brand for their steel coasters. At least that is how they explained it in the interview.
How many times did you see their Windseeker fault? So strange that they lowered it so slowly. The Windseeker at my former park was able to lower after a fault much faster 😅
It was running for well we will just say (I think it was running) I saw one cycle and saw this fault.
Hey Ryan I'm laura
GCIs usually park faster than that. Huh.
I understand it but man that was sloooowww. Like; come on guys.
@@ryantheridemechanic Shocked they haven’t gotten someone out to tweak that. It’s like an RMC 😋
those Windseeker rides are not named correctly. they can't operate in the wind
