A full on Knock off park would be amazing with knock off names. Like "Visit 8 Flags Majestic Mountain and enjoy a character breakfast at McRonald's with Donald McRonald while enjoying Boyz-N-Berry pancakes! Take a trip around the park on the Dizzyland Railroad. Don't forget to ride the Jurrasic-raptor-coaster"🤣
I can confirm as someone who speaks Chinese that they didn’t even try to hide with Vertical Roller Coaster, the name in Chinese is exactly the same as the B&M dive in Chimelong Paradise. It’s as if they don’t want you to not see the similarities.
I love how the Chinese knockoffs have such literal names, "Vertical roller coaster" because it has a vertical drop, "Broken rail coaster" because the rail is disconnected, still trying to figure out "Sounding rollercoaster" though.
Hi, Indonesian here. The Volcano Coaster from Jatim (Jawa Timur) Park 1 is abysmal. Of all Roller Coasters I've been through in Indonesia, this one is the worst. Most Roller Coaster here are templates of existing roller coaster designs. Now Imagine a government backed theme park trying to design something they never done before, with corruption and nepotism surrounding the construction of the coaster, you got the Volcano Coaster.
No way a park name Jawa Timur 1 has good rides. It sound like a first time thing "Yeah just call it Jawa Timur Park 1, we wil build better versions of it later".
I miss Volcano at Kings Dominion!!! I also really miss big bad wolf at Busch Gardens. I was lucky enough to have worked at Busch Gardens and operated the big bad wolf.
Can’t argue with you there. Two fine rides that are now gone forever. True, Volcano was notorious for breaking down frequently, but when you got to ride it, it was pure fun. I liked it a lot more than Outer Limits: Flight of Fear, a ride that was brutally criticized for its roughness, with Flight of Pain being a common nickname.
I love the way Peter says "that's up to The Legal System," I'm imagining a Judge Dredd type entity just named "The Legal System" who is judge jury, and executioner. Copyright laws are super complicated and I Respect Peter for throwing up a shrug and saying "I dunno"
It's no surprise so many of these are in China. They give zero fucks about counterfeiting foreign products for their own use. Even the government does it.
Two things I regret not riding while I visited Gatlinburg and pigeon forge is Earthquake knock off, and that creepy dinosaur looking ride in pigeon forge. I am a sucker for campy humor and those seem to be perfect for that.
The entertainment and informational aspects of these videos is absolutely spectacular to say the least, but above all, I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the narrator's sarcastic humor!
Well..... actually you still can experience "Earthquake: The Big One at Universal Studios Hollywood when going on the Backlot Studios Tour. So yes, the ride at Universal Studios Orlando doesn't exists no more. There is still a Universal Studios quality representation of this ride, still in California.
The Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood is basically the Earthquake ride but better because it contains other stuff as well. I love the Earthquake part of Studio Tour
@@jimmythegamer2231 It has been a long time since I have been there, but the tram on that tour passed through a Cylon laser battle, crossed a rickety rope bridge, when through the Six Million Dollar Man tunnel, and was visited by a certain Great White shark. But the BART station set where the earthquake happens is a lot more realistic and terrifying - because you are in California where earthquakes are a thing.
From all coasters, from the hiper ones to the wooden coasters, nothing is better and more nostalgic than that rusty wacky worm at the local city fair lol (or your first rc that you rode)
I grew up in Beijing and went to Shijingshan amusement park a lot as a kid. The footage of the soar in the sky here looks really old, and I remember it got a lot better when I ride it, which is around 2005 - 2010. It actually looked pretty real, and I wouldn’t say it’s a completely bad attraction. I’ve also been to Disneyland so many times and never realize they looks similar, but now it’s mentioned in the video, I kind of see the similarity here. The park has changed so much over years, and it finally closed a few years ago. It’s definitely a fun surprise to see it again here.
That's correct. The coaster may be small compared to the original, but it has surprisingly tight curves, descents and loops for the speed it has. This should make it pretty intense. Maybe it was built in 2000 too. Then the name would even go very well with the driving experience.
Indonesia also has a knockoff of Small World, at Dunia Fantasi, it's known as Istana Boneka, it starts off somewhat unique, showcasing the Indonesian islands then it transitions into a more obvious knockoff, kinda want to go to Indonesia to ride it, same with their Volcano knockoff
As a rule. a design can only be changed 10 percent to not be considered infringement, but these knockoffs are clearly built by companies who LACK creativity
I've ridden Volcano- The Blast Coaster at Kings Dominion more times than I can count and let me just say I'm offended FOR Kings Dominion about that knockoff...it gave me the chills in such a bad way!
I disagree about the brocken rail model being called àa knock-off . Most of the designs are actually unique, so is the layout. Just because a ride has the same element doesn’t mean it is a knock-off .
Not only is Drayton Manor infamous for their knock off rides, but there’s their Thomas & Friends exhibit, which by this point is basically a burial site for the original models and props form the show where they slowly rot away. They’re are lots of videos covering it online.
There is another Earthquake ride - the original one in Universal Studios in Hollywood. But the Hollywood park has a completely different concept, with one main attraction. It is just a tram ride that takes you to various movie sets, including the clock tower from Back to the Future and a Cylon laser battle. It also takes you trough sequences that are separate rides at the Orlando park. There is a rickety rope bridge the tram must cross, before it goes through the Six Million Dollar Man tunnel, then passes a body of water inhabited by a certain Great White shark. One of the final sets the tram goes through is a BART subway station from a movie I don't remember. As the announcer is describing the set, the ground starts to shake a little, maybe a 4.0. I'm from California and such tiny tremblers are not uncommon. The announcer reassures us as such. Then the big one hits and a full sized subway train barrels into the station, derails and tumbles directly to the tram. Meanwhile a wall of water also crashes towards the tram . Just before it all hits the tram, the train stops, the water drains, and the operator drives us away. Because Los Angeles is right on a major fault zone, the earthquake ride is a lot more realistic and scary than elsewhere.
"Space Mountain is another ride that needs no introduction..." See, I thought that too, but let me tell you a story. Years ago when I was in college, I went with my girlfriend down to Disney World for spring break one year. I knew she wasn't a huge coaster fan, but knew that Disney coasters are super mild, and figured she could handle them. As we were standing in line for Space Mountain, like 10 feet from the front of the hour long queue, she goes "I hope too much of this isn't in the dark." So I laughed at what I assumed was a hilarious joke. It wasn't. She really had never heard of the ride before and had no idea it was all in the dark.
The it’s a small world knockoff feels like that group project where everyone wanted to add their personal touch so it ended up being a mess of way too many things
There's also a Small World "knockoff" at Dufan, Indonesia, though props for showcasing Indonesia's diverse culture, and having a sick blacklight section
5:13 Is that Captain Carlos from the Disney Junior series of the same name? You know, the shorts that were supposed to teach kids about healthy eating, but also taught them to avoid junk food entirely which cause parents to criticize the show.
Before they added 3D, Linnanmäki in Helsinki had a Space Mountain knock off and used to have a dry version of Its A Small World. The Space Mountain had a cool waiting line area, with an ozone type smell sprayed in for hype.
Beijing Amusement Park had another "knockoff" I rode in the early 2000s. At the time it looked to me like an Arrow loop/corkscrew. I thought it was a Vekoma when I rode, but RCDB states a different manufacturer (Senyo Kogyo). I was shocked at how smooth this rusty & worn-out looking coaster was & rode several times, along with their fun, old Crazy Mouse. Man, this park has quite the coaster history list!
The fact that "It's a Small World" even got mocked in a Disney movie (such as the Lion King, when Zazu begins to sing it and Scar's like "NO anything but that!"), as well as other media, and someone decided to rip it off amuses me. xD I know it's an iconic and parodied ride, I just find that hilarious. I wonder how the song would translate from Chinese.
The volcano one is a knock off in name only. The real volcano blast coaster in KD VA was a prototype and was never reproduced, hence why it shut down, parts were hard to come by
Germans "Phantasialand" used to have a rollercoaster I would consider a Space Mountain knock-off as well called "Temple Of The Night Hawk". I never realized it until seeing the space mountain footage in this video. A couple years back it has been fitted with a VR experience and is now called "Crazy bats - Temple Of The Night Hawk" but the coaster effectively is the same.
I went to Phantasialand back at the end of 2020 and because of COVID the VR feature wasn't allowed to be used it was literally just black idk why but I found it hilarious
@@NotEmilio Oh yeah. I remember when I was young it was just like that. The lift hill had this strobe light effect but that was it. the rest was pitch black. Makes me realize how freaking old that thing actually is. I rode it already at least 15-20 years ago if I am not mistaken.
The way he talks about the original roller coasters that aren’t operating anymore and then says “but, if you miss it, you’re in luck because-“ is so funny every time
I agree I vividly remember my 1st few roller coasters the ones most in my memory was the lady bug at City Park in New Orleans and the Indian chief ride at American Adventure’s (rip).
There is sooo many Space Mountain knockoffs. Like Eurosat in Europa Park, the Original Space Center in Phantasialand or The Black Hole in Alton Towers. Especially the Indoor Vekoma Coasters + Space Theming allways somehow knock the ride off.
As a kid growing up in the 80’s in England, we had some pretty lame theme parks. The one we used to visit was Thorpe Park. One of its attractions was a flat bike track with BMXs with wheels where the axels were off center. Not much fun, I digress. It had 3 Disney knock offs. Space Station Zero was a crappy Space Mountain, Treasure Island (arguably) Pirates of the Caribbean, though a train ride with no expensive animatronics, just dressed up students acting, and finally Phantom Phantasia. That had doom buggies and the ballroom. Having done Disney now as an adult that last one is embarrassing. Footage is rare, but can be found.
They forgot the brakes on the knockoff-tower coaster, wtf!? xD Vulcano looks awesome, what a cheap mountain. Best part are the penguins... Nice special, thanks for that!
The Millenium Force one is quiiiiiittttteee a stretch. There are plenty of rides with the same name and that model resembles nothing of an intamin .... That being said good video
I think I've seen broken rail coaster! I lived in Hefei, China for about a year a few years back and this park was in an empty but new part of town (I want to say Bao He or Binhu). Hefei is a rapidly expanding and industrializing city, and I think this was where a movie theater, restaurants (including one of very few places to get a good burger), and lake walk area were located. Maybe it was just me and the times I went there (maybe 3-4 times), but this area was always empty, and I don't think I ever saw the coaster operating. I don't have much more info than that, but figured I would pass it along. Love the videos :)
I wouldn't really consider the rip off of earthquake to still be a ripoff, just because of how the Universal Orlando one got demolished to make place for yet another screen ride, that being fast and furious.
At the end of the video, during the merchandise announcement, I realised that I use the same channel banner as the banner on top of all of your merchandise. It's not a knock off, as I did not focus on the announcment at the end of other videos. This was a great video!

There’s literally a coaster called Magic Mountain in I think Denmark or the Netherlands. I dunno. It’s built by Vekoma I think.

I think I've seen broken rail coaster! I lived in Hefei, China for about a year a few years back and this park was in an empty but new part of town (I want to say Bao He or Binhu). Hefei is a rapidly expanding and industrializing city, and I think this was where a movie theater, restaurants (including one of very few places to get a good burger), and lake walk area were located. Maybe it was just me and the times I went there (maybe 3-4 times), but this area was always empty, and I don't think I ever saw the coaster operating. I don't have much more info than that, but figured I would pass it along. Love the videos :)
Could you do part two of this? I’d vote Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Anyone else notice that most of these knock-off rides have very blunt names?
Whenever I hear the word sounding in this sort of context (not related to audio sound) all I can think of is the story Guts by Chuck Pahlahnuik.
This video was awesome! Especially the ending
In part 2, include Geisterschloss from Europa Park in Germany, it's a knock-off of Disney's Haunted Mansion!
U should make a video of the most infamous coasters on earth
I wouldn't really consider the rip off of earthquake to still be a ripoff, just because of how the Universal Orlando one got demolished to make place for yet another screen ride, that being fast and furious.

This version of Millennium Force moves like a K'nex roller coaster. That loop doesn't look safe.
Might be the funniest ending to any of your videos! I literally laughed out loud!
At the end of the video, during the merchandise announcement, I realised that I use the same channel banner as the banner on top of all of your merchandise. It's not a knock off, as I did not focus on the announcment at the end of other videos. This was a great video!
