So the reason Odyssey cost so much is the ground was liquifying. A few of the pylons are as deep as the coaster is tall.... an ungodly amount of concrete was used for this coaster. Ground work cost more then usual as well.
Thank you for sharing that! So based off that, any coaster of this scale likely would have had an exorbitant budget. Did they know the ground was an issue when they tried to get the hyper version?
Reminds me of Goliath at La Ronde in that sense. If you've ever wondered why a mini-hyper cost the same price as a full scale proper hyper, it's for the same reason. The part of the island on which that coaster stands is artificial, so the footers had to be extra deep, which ramped up the price
@@CanobieCoaster it's insane that the massive budget went to groundwork then the actual coaster is effectively a budget model. It's like paying for an expensive all you can eat service at a fancy restaurant and then just getting some fries. So it wouldn't have cost much different to get any coaster type/manufacturer. I'd have thought it would just be easier/cheaper to move a large section of the park/flats to this spot and build the coaster further in-land
@@askjeevescosby2928it’s also insanely short so paying that much for a ride like that is crazy. it gives hyperia vibes although i doubt hyperia cost that much
This ride has always facinated me. Hopefully the park can give it the nor-easter treatment. Because then it would make this ride one of the best inverts ever.
@CanobieCoaster it's the damn local givernment taxing the hell out if the park making it hard for them to make additions. Europe is a horrible place for parks. Local governments always force so many guide lines.
@@askjeevescosby2928 well the shit hole of an area the park is in its one of the few places in the county governed by Reform UK, our most right wing party. So they have it easier than anywhere else by your logic
When i did my UK trip i went all out to include a visit to this ride. It is rough yes, but it is soooo dope with that steep drop and the giant loop. Millenium is great too as it es super smooth
Great to see! I’ve been wanting to learn more about this coaster as it’s the only SLC longer than Siam Amazing Park’s Vortex (Siam Amazing Park still markets theirs as one of two longest SLCs in the world, though that likely ignores this custom ride altogether).
I can't even begin to fathom how much of a nightmare the 265 foot version of this would have been. Damn I wish it would have happened...may have taken the spot from Son Of Beast as biggest monstrosity ever constructed.
Really enjoyed your review of my favourite suspended looping coaster Odyssey especially over kumali at flamingoland and infusion at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
I rode it a few times with a friend. I don't think it's as bad as infusion but definitely not great. The first drop impressed me,felt a lot steeper than it looks. We went on a day where the rides were open for different parts of rhe day. It was basically empty and for about £14 it was well worth. Also the park gives free ponchos anf on ride photos with the pass . Super impressed with that. Ps its awesome seeing vidoes on what is unfortunately my local park even if u did pronounce ingoldmells funny
This ride has such a fascinating history. I knew about the ride, but I didn't know about all of that other stuff. It's crazy how much they paid for it, and how it was supposed to be so much taller.
Quick note on the name: The ride was meant to open in 2001, and was announced as being called Odyssey in reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was then delayed to 2002, the queen's golden jubilee year, hence the clumsy name Jubilee Odyssey. thankfully they quietly reverted back to the original a few years later
I have heard rumors that some parks signed exclusivity agreements with B&M in the 1990s. So it’s possible that B&M was off the table because of Nemesis being a few hours down the road. People attribute these alleged contracts as the reason it took Kings island so long to get a B&M
That is a good point about B&M possibly having an exclusivity contract. I forgot about those. That very issue screwed Canada's Wonderland in the 1990s.
Hi massive fantasy Island fan here A lot of people keep going on about it needing Vest restraints etc but realistically that isn’t going to make it smoother at all just because of there is so much happening in such a small footprint it wouldn’t make a difference And in recent years it has been running a hell of a lot better Also regarding the one train it isn’t able to run more than one even if they wanted to they would have to modify the breaking system as it doesn’t currently work in block they are only trim set ups
That makes sense the brake run would need to be reprogrammed for 2 trains, but it is more than long enough to support 2 trains if the park wanted to do it. As for vests, they have been an improvement on a lot of Vekoma coasters, even ones with compact, action-packed layouts. I agree the ride could still be shaky, but it makes a huge difference when you aren't hitting your head.
Been on this ride once on the front row & that drop from the top looks insane in person! Test of the ride is nothing special, but it’s worth going on for the drop view alone
If they Great Nor’Easter’d this coaster, it would become one of the best coasters in the UK nobody can change my mind. (Oh also, not related to this coaster, but I got confirmation that Nopuko Air Coaster at Lost Island is getting a partial retracking for 2025.)
I find it interesting that this is the only custom SLC built, yes technically Great Nor Easter is a custom one, but it's just the standard layout with some modifications and I don't count that. I get that Vekoma isn't known for custom layouts, but I would have expected at least one other park in the world to build an actually custom SLC layout, probably would have been cheaper than a custom B&M Invert.
@@SeungPark5981 that's not a custom one, that's a 671m Shenlin model according to RCDB. The only other one built was Snow Mountain Flying Dragon at the Happy Valley park in Shenzhen China, that one closed in 2022. That one opened in 2002, before Kumali. There's also the Shenlin with helix model and the 787 Extended, which is the standard layout elements placed differently, Vortex at Siam Amazing Park in Thailand is the only operating example of this model as the other was supposed to be turned into an aviary while keeping the ride in place.
Presumably it only really functions as a 140ft coaster as it never gets near the ground due to the junk yard theming. It's like if you buikt a wacky worm on 200ft supports and people called it a hyper
It also seems like the exit of the ride goes through the "restricted area" underneath the final turn into the station. Definitely not sometying you would see in the US.
Fantasy Island is definitely one of the weirdest parks I've been to, like it feels super low budget with most of the rides being portable but then there's 2 massive Vekomas
That generator probably cost quite a bit. Also vekoma had to keep making modifications because of the city. The reason this ride has issues is because the city had to screw them.
Even though this leaves for a really fascinating story and a very weird and quirky coaster, to think what kind of coasters they could have built with this much money is almost sad.
@@CanobieCoaster i wish i could meet you thou, i live in Washington, and my home park is wild waves :(, but my other home park thats farther away is SLIVERWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooof I don’t often disagree with your reviews, but I thought it was a great little coaster; the drop and first two elements hit hard especially in the back and it’s nowhere near as rough as other SLCs imo! Love the commitment coming out to Skegness keep up the great review 😂
I enjoyed the ride with proper bracing, but the fact I had to do that to make the ride tolerable put a damper on the experience. I do need to note that I only rode Odyssey this year. I've heard it is running rougher than usual this year.
Someone else pointed out Alton may have had an exclusivity contract with Nemesis. That could have factored into why they had to go with Vekoma. I still would have picked Intamin for that price since they did make some inverts around that time.
@@CanobieCoaster Apparently Intamins inverts are also rough at this point. I can believe that - Tussauds group seemed to be the only one installing B&Ms at that time, and tbh Merlin Parks & Entertainment are still the only ones who have done it.
Yeah kinda odd that Fantasy Island didn't just get a B&M invert that would've been cheaper and smoother and have the 4 across seating that they wanted...
As another comment mentioned, ground issues with the plot is what caused this ride to be so expensive, so Fantasy Island didn't really get scammed, just the cost of forcing a coaster to be somewhere not suitable for a coaster.
But the question is, is it better than the dog farts coaster? I think the Oddysey is as big as it needs to be. A near giga-sized Vekoma SLC sounds terrifying indeed! But if you get current-day Vekoma to build you a 200ft+ tall suspended coaster, you'll get something absolutely worth every penny.
I had no idea the history of this ride was that bizarre. It's beyond me that for that price fantasy island didn't buy ANY other coaster model over an slc because I can almost guarantee it would be higher quality.
The gray and yellow mixed with pink and green track all on top of a junk yard might make this the ugliest park section I’ve seen. Does it look better in person?
If you are going to build a massive crazy amusment park you have to make sure its in the middle of nowhere, that you own all the land within a 20 mile radious, and that you run a shadow government in the township that doesnt allow anybody to complain about the park if they choose to live near it. Then you build a small railroad arround the city that brings people to the park 🤣
Fantasy Island definitely got ripped off. Big One at Pleasure Beach only cost £12m (roughly £24m today) and that has a colossal lattice structure, one of Europe’s longest layouts (the longest now I believe) that weaves under and over other rides, 90ft deep footers due to the sand base of the park, a for the time complex storage system which functions like an elevator and 3 trains during its first few years. Odyssey’s structure is much lighter, a shorter layout that doesn’t interact with much besides Millennium, no storage bays or switch tracks and 1 train. I’m not sure how far down the footers had to go, I know it’s close to the sea but nowhere near as close as Pleasure Beach is.
The part starting at 9:09 is so painful to watch. Why and how could it possibly take 48 seconds just to get through the brake runs and back into the station, when only one train is being used? Horrible operations.
I had been to several other UK parks before this one (both in 2017 and on this trip). I'm prioritizing content from this park because it doesn't have much coverage.
@@CanobieCoaster Probably because most people in Britain don't care about it and their two big coasters are nothing special to an international audience...
I visited 5 times before Odessey was actually open and to be fair... It was mediocre and very very rough and has the same roughness as Infusion at Blackpool which I now do not go on as it basically gives you earache. And the forces on this ride are also mediocre at best. It definitely over-promises and under-delivers
There are three of these Vekoma SLCs in the UK, one in Belgium, two in Germany, one in Italy, one in Netherlands, and two in Spain. How would you compare between all those, in terms of forces and smoothness?
Now that is one of the coaster review titles of all time 😳
And it's all true.
0:31 "The restraints where changed at one point due to nipple burn."
My favorite sentence in a roller coaster review ever. Thanks for that. 😂
Crazy yet true!

There are so many weird things with this ride.

Thanks!
Scream: I have the worst setting of any coaster!
Odyssey: Hold my dung.
Lol
Imagine paying $42M for an SLC 💀💀💀
I kept checking that figure to make sure it was correct. I couldn't believe it.
Honestly I wouldn't lump it with the other slcs. It's enormous and unique.
@@askjeevescosby2928it’s also insanely short so paying that much for a ride like that is crazy. it gives hyperia vibes although i doubt hyperia cost that much
Wow
@@askjeevescosby2928 In the end they still paid more for a rough invert than other parks did for entire giga coasters.
Wow, this ride really is a meme. It has ElToroRyan’s Problematic Coasters series written all over it
It is a perfect candidate. There are so many oddities with this ride.
This ride has always facinated me.
Hopefully the park can give it the nor-easter treatment. Because then it would make this ride one of the best inverts ever.
I want new restraints most, but a retrack would help as well.
Exactly!
Poop-powered? I can’t even process this.
As a Crohn’s patient, I may well be able to power roller coasters!
Always love the content and videos. 🤗
Lol
This is the coolest slc in exsistance. That loop is huge.
It is cool, but I wish it were smoother.

Great to see! I’ve been wanting to learn more about this coaster as it’s the only SLC longer than Siam Amazing Park’s Vortex (Siam Amazing Park still markets theirs as one of two longest SLCs in the world, though that likely ignores this custom ride altogether).
Odyssey definitely beats it in length.
I can't even begin to fathom how much of a nightmare the 265 foot version of this would have been.
Damn I wish it would have happened...may have taken the spot from Son Of Beast as biggest monstrosity ever constructed.
I dread how it would have turned out.

That is a good point about B&M possibly having an exclusivity contract. I forgot about those. That very issue screwed Canada's Wonderland in the 1990s.
B&M also builds a limited number of rides a year and are selective. This was on bad soil. The popularity of SLCs wasn't just price.
Hi massive fantasy Island fan here

I love how the drop looks.
@@CanobieCoaster Looked so steep as it went over, made me actually feel some adrenaline. How was the ride next to it? Didn’t manage that one
I honestly quite like this coaster.. among the slcs it is by far my favoutite tbh
I prefer Great Nor'Easter, Kumali, and a few others with vests.
@CanobieCoaster haven't done Great Nor'Easter but didn't really like Kumali or Condor/ Mayan..
If they Great Nor’Easter’d this coaster, it would become one of the best coasters in the UK nobody can change my mind.
(Oh also, not related to this coaster, but I got confirmation that Nopuko Air Coaster at Lost Island is getting a partial retracking for 2025.)
That's great to hear about Nopuko! I agree this would improve big time with the Great Nor'Easter treatment.
Good to hear that! The rollover was majorly the issue!
Crazy how I’ve been in the coaster community for so long and have just found out about huge rides like this
This is a really bizarre one.
Great stuff. Any chance we're gonna get a park review soon? I love those
There will be one, but probably not until early next year.
Those final breaks look like they hit super sudden
They do.
Another fact is that the junk yard, under the ride used to be home to a Go-Kart attraction.
That definitely would have looked better.
I find it interesting that this is the only custom SLC built, yes technically Great Nor Easter is a custom one, but it's just the standard layout with some modifications and I don't count that.

What’s brown and sounds like a bell? Dunnng. I couldn’t help myself. Great review!
Thanks!
A vekoma tilt coaster would be soooo good in this park.
It would be good at many parks.
How long will it take for you to cover the rest of the UK parks? I bet we’re all dying to know your opinions of their parks and coasters!
I'm trying to get countdowns and major ride reviews for each park out by the end of the year. Park reviews for each would be next year.
Presumably it only really functions as a 140ft coaster as it never gets near the ground due to the junk yard theming. It's like if you buikt a wacky worm on 200ft supports and people called it a hyper
That's fair, but that is still large.
Did AVGN write your title?
No lol
I think the reason was the specialized footings, the had to go deeper to get to the bedrock due to the sand. That is what I heard
That would make sense. Can't believe they went through with it given the price.
It also seems like the exit of the ride goes through the "restricted area" underneath the final turn into the station. Definitely not sometying you would see in the US.
Employees also would walk in front of the track here, so the rules are different.
Fantasy Island is definitely one of the weirdest parks I've been to, like it feels super low budget with most of the rides being portable but then there's 2 massive Vekomas
And the indoor area has nice theming to contrast what feels like a carnival outdoors.
Imagine a roller coaster powered by recycled human waste, and Odyssey would have also been the tallest inverted coaster
Had the hyper version of this been approved, it still would be.
Another good way to ride odyssey is keeping your head forward that also stops headbanging
That didn't work for me on my first ride since the harness was too far forward. I couldn't comfortably do it.
That generator probably cost quite a bit. Also vekoma had to keep making modifications because of the city. The reason this ride has issues is because the city had to screw them.
The generator cost 4 million pounds. How did the city screw them specifically? Permitting?
Do you know Hero, Mumbo Jumbo, and Sik? What do you rate them?
I'll have a video about them in the near future. I enjoyed them.
Even though this leaves for a really fascinating story and a very weird and quirky coaster, to think what kind of coasters they could have built with this much money is almost sad.
It really is a what if. I imagine they had to pay off this ride for a very long time.
I can’t believe that Mike rated this lower than a literal Wisdom Rides kiddie coaster. (Referring to Tiger Terror.)
I genuinely prefer Tiger Terror.
Poop Powered/Nipple burning .... never thought I read that in the description of a roller coaster
This ride is so special that it does those things.
there needs to be more of these types
I would prefer Vekoma to focus on the STC.
@@CanobieCoaster true thou but i want chance rides to build like 4 more gtxs like we need more of those

I like Kumali. Infusion is meh.
If this was mid 2010s Coaster Studios...
"Should have gotten a B&M" - Quite literally

@@CanobieCoaster Apparently Intamins inverts are also rough at this point.
I can believe that - Tussauds group seemed to be the only one installing B&Ms at that time, and tbh Merlin Parks & Entertainment are still the only ones who have done it.

I'll have a review within the next month.
9:20 this clip is begging for an Eltoro Ryan shake brakes edit, why does it repeatedly stop and start FIVE TIMES on the brake run
Yes it is. This whole ride deserves a problematic coasters video.
Yeah kinda odd that Fantasy Island didn't just get a B&M invert that would've been cheaper and smoother and have the 4 across seating that they wanted...
I get that Millennium was well-received, but I don't understand how this ride came to be.

Sik
Hero
Kumali
Hyperia
Megafobia
Smiler
Swarm

I'll have videos going into them more in-depth.
I had no idea the history of this ride was that bizarre. It's beyond me that for that price fantasy island didn't buy ANY other coaster model over an slc because I can almost guarantee it would be higher quality.
It really is a big what if.
Do you know something called Kumali? Yes or no?
Yes, fun ride.
Could you imagine if they actually made a 260ft tall Vekoma SLC? That thing wouldn’t have lasted 5 years.😂😂😂
I cannot believe that was on the table.
The gray and yellow mixed with pink and green track all on top of a junk yard might make this the ugliest park section I’ve seen. Does it look better in person?
@bigt7706 it's way better in person, I go to fantasy island every year and it's beautiful , especially at sunset
Off-ride, the two look nice in person given how large they are and the colors pop. The junkyard is an eyesore though, no denying that.
Personally this is my favourite slc in the uk (better than kumbali) and also my 2nd favourite inverted coaster over inferno in the uk
I prefer Kumali to this.
You had me a poop powered
They had the park too.
If you are going to build a massive crazy amusment park you have to make sure its in the middle of nowhere, that you own all the land within a 20 mile radious, and that you run a shadow government in the township that doesnt allow anybody to complain about the park if they choose to live near it. Then you build a small railroad arround the city that brings people to the park 🤣
Sounds like Disney World.
Fantasy Island definitely got ripped off. Big One at Pleasure Beach only cost £12m (roughly £24m today) and that has a colossal lattice structure, one of Europe’s longest layouts (the longest now I believe) that weaves under and over other rides, 90ft deep footers due to the sand base of the park, a for the time complex storage system which functions like an elevator and 3 trains during its first few years.
Odyssey’s structure is much lighter, a shorter layout that doesn’t interact with much besides Millennium, no storage bays or switch tracks and 1 train. I’m not sure how far down the footers had to go, I know it’s close to the sea but nowhere near as close as Pleasure Beach is.
One review said the ground and city were the reason. It's a shame they spent so much.
I much preferred odyssey when it was called jubilee odyssey with the red and white paint job. Same with millennium when it was red and yellow
That's fair. I do like how the rides contrast now.
@ yeah also millennium really needed the repaint. With the yellow it was getting very rusty
So if i take an absolute monster dump i can power a roller coaster? Crazy
What a world we live in!
When this coaster opened it used to be sponsored by kitkat
Didn't know that.
The part starting at 9:09 is so painful to watch. Why and how could it possibly take 48 seconds just to get through the brake runs and back into the station, when only one train is being used? Horrible operations.
It's frustrating.
Wait fantasy island looks strange…
It's an odd park.
@@CanobieCoaster no I mean I’ve been there so many times over my life, but it looks different in the videos…
A Roller Coaster powerd by 💩 is crazy!
Quite comical.
This is an interesting coaster that it runs on poop instead of electricity. That's a strange way to turn trash into power.
Innovative.
@@CanobieCoaster It is innovative but strange at the same time. It's one way to prevent poo from polluting the land and oceans.
That one turn around doesn’t even look rough
It really shakes on-ride.
When i first saw the "poop powered nipple burning" I thought that was the review. I mean, it is an SLC😂😂😂😂
That's fair lol
Money well spent for the Giant Inverted Hang N' Bang! 😂
Lol
I still don’t believe that price it was to build
Multiple sites report that figure.
It looks like the whole ride is elevated 5 meters too high. The coaster never realy comes close to the ground.
Thank the junkyard/backstage area beneath it.
The absolute best thing they can do for this ride is to buy 2 new vest trains for it. Simple as that. Or knock it down and replace it (seriously).
The ride has potential with improved restraints, so that is my preferred approach.
Wow... only one train?!!!!
Unfortunately.
God dam so the original coaster was supposed to be almost as tall as Orion
I shudder to think how much that would have cost.
"The Odyssey" more like "The Oddity"
True!
all that money for an SLC is just crazy
A few people have said the land and city screwed them, but that's still insane they went through with it.
It’s cos the land there is not the most stable so it needs ridiculously deep foundations.
Never want to hear “nipple burn” in a coaster review.
Just glad it didn't happen to me.
This ride definitely needs an extra train
Definitely would help.
The top of the loop is way too long. It would be more fun if the loop was tighter at the top.
It still was my favorite element.
Ride is huge
Sure is.
What a title 😂
Yet true.
@@CanobieCoaster I am morbidly curious about the poop power system.

I had been to several other UK parks before this one (both in 2017 and on this trip). I'm prioritizing content from this park because it doesn't have much coverage.
@@CanobieCoaster oh ok
@@CanobieCoaster can you do a top 10 best uk coasters video.
@@CanobieCoaster Probably because most people in Britain don't care about it and their two big coasters are nothing special to an international audience...
@@CanobieCoastermuch appreciated, I've been fascinated by this weird park for a while now.
I visited 5 times before Odessey was actually open and to be fair... It was mediocre and very very rough and has the same roughness as Infusion at Blackpool which I now do not go on as it basically gives you earache. And the forces on this ride are also mediocre at best. It definitely over-promises and under-delivers
Infusion is rough too without the unique layout.
A major retracking for only £100 million
If they reuse the supports, which Great Nor'Easter did, that will help with costs.
i at first just thought you were trying to avoid being too vulgar with the name
No, it's actually as I described.
There are three of these Vekoma SLCs in the UK, one in Belgium, two in Germany, one in Italy, one in Netherlands, and two in Spain. How would you compare between all those, in terms of forces and smoothness?
I haven't ridden all those, but most SLCs are bad.

I love the pint scheme. It looks like everything Steel Curtain should be (because it's actually in operation)
Lol
