Can we take a minute to appreciate how dedicated Shawn and Charlotte are? Almost daily uploads showcasing the things they love and responding and hearting comments! These guys are great.
Shockingly expensive for two laps but I have to say what great fun. The fact that you can control the speed is perfect for anyone nervous about coasters or that may have a heart condition. For me I would have it in full throttle to get the max experience out of it. Great vlog Shawn and Charlotte.👍😎
The zipwire in video is the second shorter and closer to the ground zipwire. The first one you can’t see from the base. It’s longer, higher off the ground and goes over a lake.
Definitely one of the best channels I’ve come across in a while. I actually have next to no interest in amusement/theme parks other than nostalgia from when I was a kid but I’ve always gravitated towards people who are passionate about what interests them and Shawn clearly loves what he does. I initially searched for some videos on my local M&Ds as I used to go there as a kid and found this channel and since then I’ve been hooked.
That zipline you show is the second zipline down. The first one comes right over the reservoir much higher. The second tower is located at the finish of firsts zipline. I’m living just near by great that people are coming from far to use it.
Very nice to see a new and unique style attraction but that price is extreme!! When you consider that with 'local' discounts, a 10 hour day ticket to Portaventura can cost €30 / £25! Consider that against two runs on this.. incredible price..!!
I don't believe that we can see alpine coasters as actual coasters I think. And by the looks of it, this is a modernized version of Wiegant's powered alpine coaster. That's because you can make your own speed.
You can tell they have spent a lot of money on the whole site in terms of all the new buildings and brand new attractions.....their initial investment costs will have been very high....so the prices are steep but understandable.......i see them coming down in the future. another great vlog TPW !!!
Fab video mate you zoomed in on the 2nd wire mate the first one come from way up above that one you walk from the first ones Break run to the 2nd tower also the Parachutes Is put on if the windspeed is up cause it needs to be a certain speed when it’s in the break run they use them on velocity 2 in north Wales
I didn't know that this existed, until today. The area of Thrill Rides can be spectacularly unforgiving. This year, 2023, I've identified a need for Rider Controlled Roller Coasters. I actually mean once that can be used to an intensity of high Gs, big drops, and inversions. This variant is the closest thing in the world to such an idea. So this coaster vehicle can actually climb gradients by itself! The problem is that it will not be able to manage a steep gradient and especially not a vertical loop. To overcome that problem, on the track propulsion is needed. However, the prerequisite propulsion method has already existed for 41 years - Drive Tyres (Friction Wheels), which were first used for roller coaster launches on Wiener Looping (Bullet since 1991; until 2005 it was at Flamingo Land!) All that was lacking was the computing power for the Rider to be able to control the Drive Tyres. Once intense Rider Controlled Roller Coasters finally become reality, I think they will be the first roller coaster rides taken by anyone who hasn't ventured into anything so intense before. I think it's unacceptable that being forced to complete an entire ride is the only way to try these thrills. You should search these terms on Twitter and you will find it there!
And if you're wondering why i'm not advocating Linear Synchronous Motors instead of Drive Tyres - LSM would exclude pacemaker users for now, as far as I'm aware. They should not have to ride a roller coaster without being able to stop it, just because the controllable one wasn't safe for them.
The Zip World Tower looks a lot like Baron 1898 Lift Tower to me in the Netherlands at the Efteling! With the supports and wheel on top funny. I just thought about the failed one Maurer's Spike Racing Coaster, in which you could also accelerate yourself and which looked like an Alpne Coaster Model.😀
I would like to see them plant a bunch of trees around the track and then wait a few years. Since the track runs so close to the ground, I think it would add to the feeling of speed and would be like real-life RCT or Planet Coaster
They could make the same $ or more by lowering the price. It could also help with word of mouth advertising (the best kind). More will ride if the price is lower. *One ride* is basically half the cost of admission into most large Amusement parks. Look at other Alpine coaster, they're at least half (or lower) the cost of this. They're usually much longer rides as well. Looks like fun but I would pass at it's current ride price.
Another interesting video, really enjoyed and look forward for more videos in future. Nice & interesting new type, do you think one day we might see this type at Thorpe Park? Is there any chance this could be the new rollercoaster type in Alton Towers Resort lol? I doubt it, but you just never know? But yeah, really enjoyed and now gonna check out vlog from five years ago Zip World Fforest Coaster Vlog July. 😀👍
Coaster looks unique, see they run out of time to finish station before opening though. Like the idea of leaving junk around and saying its natural lol. Way to expensive to take a family here. I might sell my house to get a couple of laps though.
Looks great but I agree, never at that price point. With deals and vouchers £25 is around the price I would spend to go to one of the major theme parks and ride as much as I want. It's extortionate. At minimum wage it would take me almost 3 hours to earn that!! Even if I was the biggest enthusiast in the world I can never justify paying that price.
So a family trip to Zip World will set you back £70 for two shared cars on the rollercoaster, then £200 for one go each on the zip line. That's shocking.
Absolutely love your vlogs only discovered your chanel yesterday and managed a few vids already love how you capture so many small details very enjoyable
That looked really good fun! Unfortunately I am unable to do fast or spinning rides due to ear problems but I think I could manage that. I do agree with you that is does seem expensive for just two laps though.
well done at the new Zip World Tower Coaster in Wales! This is the fourth Zip World site to open and in this vlog, we share on-ride POV's along with our review from this brand new powered coaster. Manufactured by Wiegand, this is only the second CoasterKart model to open in the world! Along with riding the Tower Coaster, we also check out the new Phoenix Zip Wire along with taking a look at the merchandise available at this new Zip World site! keep the good work up on the channel both of you.
Hey shawn great video as always looks like great fun just a heads up but here in manchester dont know if you know yet but a new am a celebrity jungle challenge attraction is due to open in salford quays soon the opening date is 30th of july and we know how much you like am a celeb so be worth checking out for a video for the channel ;)
Glad you mentioned about it needing a bit of a paint up. Know it’s old buildings but they do look a bit messy and could be tidied up - especially at that price!
Great Vlog as always. Was wondering if you guys would consider doing a Vlog from the I’m a Celebrity Jungle Challenge in Manchester? Would love to hear your thoughts on it 😃
£25 for 4 minutes. Hmmmm. Bit of a pisstake. But then Alton towers in the summer holidays is £40 and you’ll prob only get on two rides with the ques 😂😂😂 Great vlog as normal.
Went on this on Thursday on a beautiful warm and sunny day. It was actually really good fun but my second go was ruined by a woman two cars in front who decided half way round to just move with the minimum acceleration which slows all the cars behind down to the same speed when you get close enough. Also, went on the Zip Line which was an amazing experience, but the one you show in the video is the second smaller one, you have to come down a much bigger and higher one first to get to that one but you cant really see it from the ground as it's hidden by all the trees
Great vid. Went to flamingo land today and I have to disagree with your vlog as it is super clean and looks so well cared for. This must have been done after you vlogged it I guess but we've always found it spot on.
Like ive said on other channels it looks cool but its too expensive! Somewhere like bpb would do well to get one of these as they could design the track to fit into tight spaces etc or make it the new grand prix as that ride musnt have long left.
Went on this the second day it was open a couple of weeks ago, but it was a lot slower than it seems here, even on full power. Has it been sped up or something?
The coaster looks fun, I agree that it’s pretty expensive but there’s no shortage of riders. You can’t beat the Pigeon Forge alpine coasters though. Is the zip wire £50 for one ride?
@@ThemeParkWorldwide it was funny when we went there they knew you as you’d been there the week before. The owner invited us to Miami to visit him, he’s such a great guy.

HOW MUCH! 😳 call the Police and tell them you’ve been robbed.That price is absolutely ridiculous.
It’s certainly very expensive for what it is
Watching Coaster Crazy riding this in the rain 🌧️ on Sunday
We were lucky that it stayed nice and dry for our visit!
Nice vlog! I have seen this new ride but in basic is it just the bobcart only on rails... Dont think that this will be a hit
Thanks for watching!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide No problem mate! Specially the UK Parks are interesting!
This might be the future for coasters around the country were you can operate the car yourself on theme parks 🎢
Definitely!
Drove 9 hours to Carowinds and my 8 y.o. son rode Fury 325, Intimidator, Afterburn and Copperhead Strike. What a great day!
Glad you had fun!

4:23 Love it Shawn, straight to full power, no messing!!! 😂
Definitely has to be done!
Looks good there I think I’ll wait a couple years till they have added more stuff there, the coaster looks so fun. Amazing video Shawn
Definitely needs finishing off!
@thorpepark you can try adding a new coaster once in a while
That zipline you show is the second zipline down. The first one comes right over the reservoir much higher. The second tower is located at the finish of firsts zipline. I’m living just near by great that people are coming from far to use it.
I’m sure we’ll give it a go at some point in the future!
Is time-travelling legal?
My word you two get about a bit 😂😂 love the content and you pair crack me up especially when Charlotte got wet on tidal wave
Thanks for watching! We’re glad that you enjoyed it!

Yes I think they should put a lot more around the place
omg, you two are great! love the vlog from charlotte on the coaster today! i think tpw is the best park vlogs on youtube, thanx sean and charlotte :)
Thanks for watching! We really appreciate it!
I actually love these guys I get most of my rollercoaster knowledge from them it’s so inspiring what they do
Thank you!
The piggies are back - and I DON'T mean you lovely people - always love your personal sunshine.
The cost may be high due too their Insurance and liability they have to have.
Possibly so, however I don’t expect that would be any more than a standard theme park!

It would definitely benefit them making it more affordable as many more people would definitely go and experience it!
Wow, the zip wire sounds so loud…. Love the car/coaster ride., Pigeon Forge, TN is a great, unique place to go to..
It certainly is! Love Pigeon Forge very much!
Looks fun but a little too expensive
Definitely

Awesome vlog Shawn. Keep On Riding buddy 👍🏻👍🏻🎢🎢⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!
25 quid each for 2 laps ..thats ridiculous
I remember the video where you were talking about this and now you are there time goes so fast
Always nice to see a new coaster open!
So a family trip to Zip World will set you back £70 for two shared cars on the rollercoaster, then £200 for one go each on the zip line. That's shocking.
It’s certainly very expensive
In zip world they have a drop swing it's really good have a look
Like your hair charlotte
This actually reminds me a little of Rocket Rods that used to be at Disneyland.
It definitely gives me those vibes too!

Quite good. Quite bloody good.

Will you be doing the new zip wire in BlueWater, Kent ?
Possible so at some point!
now that actually looks interesting
£25???? Lmfso no thanks, I’ve experienced it in this video hahaha

I do sense that he takes the Michael out of Wales. In a few videos he's always banging on about the sheep.
We always love a visit to Wales and seeing the sheep!
i went on the coaster yesterday, i went in the afternoon and had 3 gos
Glad you were able to also have 3 rides!

Definitely needs sprucing up!

Thanks for your support! If you ever see us in the parks, feel free to say hello!
The Zip World Tower is a great fun Roller Coaster in Wales!
Shawn this is a tricky one . Rage or speed no limits . U should go out to and look at the zipline at blue water . Love the content
Speed!
Looks good
35 though
Id rather do Acer orbit
Mind youa combi ticket is ok
Being low down more like a safer go cart
Can they increase the speed
Looks Great! Have to add this to my must do list
Great Vlog as always. Was wondering if you guys would consider doing a Vlog from the I’m a Celebrity Jungle Challenge in Manchester? Would love to hear your thoughts on it 😃
It’s somewhere we visit in the future!
Sadly wont last long at that price for 2 laps... once the novelty wears off they will have to reduce it
It’s certainly very expensive for two rides

According to RCDB it’s SBNO.. Do you know why?
I’m not too sure!
Oh that does look fun. But at £25 a pop?!
Very expensive!
This looks really fun for all of the family, and it is very unique, hope the prices reduce though!
Definitely
Was I the only one who heard sleigh bells on the coaster??
I did too
I love watching your vlogs
Thanks!
Thanks!
Going to Dollywood in 3 weeks, I will look for it there. One question, do they charge you for the video of your ride?
They do indeed!

Well done guys keep the content coming 👍🏻
Thank you!
Did you think it was good value?
Not at all, it’s very expensive
Looks like you can probably run faster down the hill than the zip-wire !!
£25 a ride, that's ridiculous that has put me right off!!
It’s certainly very expensive
How smooth is it? The profiling doesn’t look the best but it has a fun layout
Very smooth ride!

Cool ! 😎

Blenau is going for world heritage status
Maybe they can do a mine coaster like indiana jones
Id exp more zip worlds like goape

Someone tell Universal to make a Jurassic World sphere ride using this technology.
I saw this on your Twitter is the Blackpool vlog tommorow and I know you can’t go too far on your trip ima guess maybe portaventura
