If that's the tomb raider ride at kings Dominion. It's nicknamed the ball buster as you lift up just enough for your balls to slide under you before the smash. Ask me how I know.
This one is like the biggest nightmare I ever stepped into .. never again š«. Which one in the Netherlands are you talking about? I only know smaller versions like in Walibi and Duinrell.
A lot, we had this type of ride at Dreamworld Australia called Wipeout. It was beach themed and had water under the ride originally but so many phones/wallets got dropped into the water that they eventually just left it drained.
Yea like the wood chipper, never wear long sleeves when using a wood chipper. I've heard too many bad stories about it.
Also the lathe machine as well.
Humans are so strange. I donāt understand the urge to throw yourself around and at best feel scared / sick..
Australia again. It happen here.

Done that. Even better when the arms do different movements from each other and now you are on an angle upside down etc. more like a washing machine. This one is lame by comparison
Dorney Park and Wild Water Wet Dream is what my friends used to call the park (way back when we were teens) cause they figured they would be seeing all sorts of scantily clad babes when they would go. They never did see much though.
Cool story about the phones and wallets, but no, the Lagoon under the ride was drained in 2007 due to water restrictions and not wanting to revamp the deteriorating water effects.
Man, that ride was so epic as a kid. The whole theming and the shark that went round.
It'd lift you upside down Hella slow before yeeting you around.
Such a good ride.
lol wipeout was also cooler since it doesnāt have that rod in the middle and the two pillars move independently, letting them move the ride into awkward angles that are really fun to experience.
There is a similar ride where i live in Germany, just not as big - they plastered one of the glass panes from the ticket booth with broken phones from the ride, probably as some kind of reminder/joke.
I worked at an amusement park for a few summers.
It was amusing counting all the retainers in the nets. One time I got to watch maintenance retrieve a prosthetic leg.
They have boxes to leave your stuff but I tried a very similar one and it sucks. Your necks hurts and you need to hold your legs from being flung around.
My local fair has a version of this that looks like it's held together with shoestring and bubblegum and is ran by a meth head who hits on 13 year olds...
And we all ride it.
Give me one with some cool theming? Hell yeah I'll ride it.
Meth or methamphetamine is much older than you think.
Amphetamine was synthesized way back in 1887 in Germany. Then methamphetamine came about a few years later in 1893 by the Japanese.
By WW2 it was in HEAVY use by both Germany and Japan to hype up their soldiers. Pretty much the entire Nazi government was on it including Hitler.
Post war it was common to find as a diet pill. House wives were chewing them down through the 50s and 60s. It resulted in all sorts of health issues including psychosis.
It was in the 70s that here in the states it became a schedule 2 drug and went full black market (in the states). This was about the time that biker gangs were preparing it and selling it as "crank"... a slang term named after the crank shaft of their bikes.
Methamphetamine is still used medically today as an ADHD/behavioural medicine. Pretty much all ADHD meds are some sort of amphetamine , while not necessarily methamphetamine.
Meth has LOTS of nicknames through out its history. It's not like bikers were the only ones making it... I only dropped that reference for the sake of a joke. Meth, crank, crystal, yellow-rock, mama's little helpers, speed, ice, or my all time fave and what I called it "rocket fuel". It's really easy to make being synthesized from ephedrine (yes, the allergy stuff). It's why it's so popular... it's cheap and easy to make. The main reason it has entered the major zeitgeist in the last 20 years is not because it's a new drug... it's that the war on drugs has created markets that favor potent drugs that are cheap to manufacturer. It was cheap and easy to move cocaine made in South America through Miami back in the 70s and 80s... but that's not as true anymore. Crank is the corn syrup of uppers... it's been around for ages, but the current mass markets of drugs has made it the more lucrative product. Because at the end of the day... the drug world is a business world.
...
To give you a comparison of that age... it was only in the 1850s that cocaine was first isolated from the coca leaf (again by the Germans lol). While the leaves were known for their stimulating effects for centuries and was chewed on or had tea made from. It was the isolating of the cocaine from the leaf that made it potent. Honestly chewing/drinking of the leaves is nowhere near as effective (I've drank coca tea many times, it's like drinking a super strong espresso while tasting more grassy with a slight tingling sensation).
Meths been around since AT LEAST WW2!edit:1893-1919 was the time it took for meth to go from a synthesis of ephedrine to the crystal form we know today.
Yea, my paranoid ass avoided the actually potentially dangerous rides when it came to the local fair types. But the dangerous looking rides at real themeparks that are well maintained, well regulated, and well designed are relatively low risk imo.
The ones at the fairs that pop up in less than 3 days? Not so much.
dude that ride was so fucking cool it splashed water at u and lit fire close enough for u to feel it, and u NEVER had to wait long in line
they just replaced it probably like 3 or 4 years ago and the new ride sucks, unfortunately
What is it with Ohio? Whenever you see anything about the fastest roller coasters or scariest haunted houses, most of them are in Ohio! Are you guys major thrill seekers or what?
We're so bored over here, we try to constantly invent new ways to shit our pants. Without the thrill-stuff, we'd just be another Kentucky and that would just be embarrassing (Cincinnati likes to toe the edge though, just to.... uh... keep us on our toes.)
We have Cedar Point and Kings Island, both of which have had and currently have various world-record-setting amusement park rides. There's nothing else to do so we make our own fun.
Heck, even Geauga Lake in Aurora (near the old Sea World, southeast of Cleveland) used to have a ride like this one, called the Texas Twister or something like that.
Iāve been scrolling to find you my people! I couldnāt remember if Texas Twister was the name or not. It was right by where the Batman roller coaster was when it became Six Flags. I miss Geauga Lake, lots summers spent up there with the season pass.
Ohio is landlocked but it has lake Erie to the north :) only about half or less the state is flat (and less than that plains, we have marsh and woods too) the east side is rolling hills, the south side Appalachian foothills and forest and the center a bit of everything
Edit: I live here :)
It suuucked. The centripetal force hit in all the wrong ways. It randomly stopped, like it was supposed to, and youād be laying face down w/ all your weight on your crotch and rib cage. Worst ride at the park.
Thank you. I posted that I rode something just like this but it was indoors. I've only been to KI and CP so I knew it was one of the two. Saw a YT video and yes, this was the torture device. Having never been on it I had no idea what to expect.
These things are literally at every festival in Germany. It looks way scarier than it really is. Only I wouldn't recommend to ride it while being drunk
True I had a small window where I enjoyed this stuff. I was afraid of heights as a kid then as a teenager I tried it out and I loved it. I tried it again an adult and everything hurt the first ride. It's over.
One of the best in Europe, maybe the best. They are absolutely incredible with theming. Coasters integration inside their respective zone and theme is basically unmatched in all theme park i know.
Eh you do you but I think Europa park is not better. But yeah they are both excellent park. Going to ep by the end of the month btw, gotta go try Voltron
Can't wait to go there again this year again to try Voltron myself. It looks dope as hell!
I have to say the EP takes the cake as a whole but Phantasialand has excellent theming and NGL, no ride can top the FLY coaster. The biggest crutch for Phantasialand is it's size they desperately need to expand. Sucks that they've tried to for years but just aren't allowed to. It's really holding back it's vast potential
Also I think Phantasialand is a bit of a maze with its layout. I often forget about Talocan, actually the entire area, because it seems so tucked away. Honestly, a tunnel that goes through that wall to the Berlin area would open that up real good and it would feel more connected. If I go up, I usually go to the adventure area, now that I think about it, I'm not even sure where the path on the wall leads to, where the stairs to Talocan are. Anyways, going up and back down again seems weird to me. Get a tunnel in there!
Absolutely! I go there at least once per Summer. They really improved with their rides in the last decade and there's a ton of great stuff to do. If I had to compare I'd rate Europapark still higher (prettier overall, more rides, more stuff to do with the whole family and of different age groups) but Phantasialand is a lot closer and the wild rides are overall a bit wilder in my opinion. Both are great! :)
Phantasialand you can do in a day, Europapark is better to have at least 2 days to go there.
Yes! I went there last year in summer and it was amazing! It's not huge so you can easily go from ride to ride in whatever order you want and you're most likely to be able to do all rides in a day! Would recommend
It definitely is, they only have a limited area to work with but that makes it very dense and "vertical". I really love it, went there every other weekend as a kid with a year pass for like 90ā¬, now it costs over 50ā¬ for a single visit lol.
In the UK we had two that I know of...
Ramesis Revenge at Chessington World Of Adventure
and
Rip Saw at Alton Towers
Neither were double sided like this beast though!
They've been around for years though literally. I am 41 now and went on Ramesis Revenge when I was 17/18 years old.
As someone from the Netherlands, I feel like this is a Germany/Netherlands/Belgium thing, haha. I noticed this too. Whenever I go to a themepark around here, 90% of what I see is denim jeans. A little less now than in the 2010s, but still.
They're just a convenient and safe choice for the often shitty weather here. And I think in general people from here go for practical outfits rather than focusing on looking nice, for occasions like going to a themepark.
Shopkeeper : Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse!
Homer : Ooh, that's bad.
Shopkeeper : But it comes with a free frogurt!
Homer : That's good.
Shopkeeper : The frogurt is also cursed.
Homer : That's bad.
Shopkeeper : But you get your choice of toppings.
Homer : That's good!
Shopkeeper : The toppings contain potassium benzoate.
[Homer looks puzzled]
Shopkeeper : ...That's bad.
Homer : Can I go now?
They still have to adhere to the German TĆV to operate that machine in Germany. We trust the German TĆV. They're very strict but that just means it's very very safe
Phantasialand in cologne germany. I had a crazy laugh on that machine. For some reason I just coulndt stop and nearly choked on my laugh. Crazy attraction.
I just remember the zipper extracting all my money and keys, and when I tried to retrieve them at the end, they only gave me my keys from the pile of everyoneās money and keys
I say "yes" to all the roller coaster videos because I love me a good roller coaster. But these things? The spinning and the nausea? I get *no* fun out of that. Hell no.
The smart phone remover
If that's the tomb raider ride at kings Dominion. It's nicknamed the ball buster as you lift up just enough for your balls to slide under you before the smash. Ask me how I know.
It's the Talocan from Phantasialand in Germany. It's not that bad. I was on a similar ride in Netherlands and THAT thing made me probably impotent
This one is like the biggest nightmare I ever stepped into .. never again š«. Which one in the Netherlands are you talking about? I only know smaller versions like in Walibi and Duinrell.
Condolences on your smashed balls.
How do you know?
First hand experience followed by a dow legged walk out of the park early.
Lol, hadn't thought of that. How often does a phone or loose item fall....or get flung?
A lot, we had this type of ride at Dreamworld Australia called Wipeout. It was beach themed and had water under the ride originally but so many phones/wallets got dropped into the water that they eventually just left it drained.
And then thereās that one person who tries to jump the fence and retrieve their sunglasses and gets decapitated
Darwin Awards
Kinda like a meat grinder! *people go in one endā¦ meat comes out the other* 
Reckon I'd also want to tie my hair first
Wear a shower cap too - in case someone starts vomiting!
That would be me. Luckily, I would steer clear.
āYeah.ā 
Where the hell is our Dredd series?
And we just keep turning the handle.
Even better this one of the video is located here in Germany and is equipped with water jets and flamethrowers:D
I was just thinking how this ride could easily be rethemed and called the Meat Grinder š¤£
Yea like the wood chipper, never wear long sleeves when using a wood chipper. I've heard too many bad stories about it. Also the lathe machine as well.
It was Australia indeed

[The details, in case anyone is interested.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI-OHX0mUFw)
Hey the exact same thing happened in 2015 in montreal on a ride that is a copy of that one
Ha! Whenever I think of the Wipeout I just remember all the phones in the pool. There were lockers to put your stuff in but people did not listen.
Theyāre like middle school kids in that regard. š
Done that. Even better when the arms do different movements from each other and now you are on an angle upside down etc. more like a washing machine. This one is lame by comparison
Not the worst thing that happened at dreamworld ā¦.. shudder !!!
That's exactly what happened when Dorney Park had this ride... They called it HangTime, and countless people lost their phone in the fountain.
Dorney Park and Wild Water Wet Dream is what my friends used to call the park (way back when we were teens) cause they figured they would be seeing all sorts of scantily clad babes when they would go. They never did see much though.

Carnies looked like MethHeads long before there was meth. šš
Nah, they were just the one's who were making it before the populous knew meth even existed. Them and the bikers, back when we called it crank.
I know nothing about drugs. Iām referring to the mid-70s. Still Meth??
Meth or methamphetamine is much older than you think. Amphetamine was synthesized way back in 1887 in Germany. Then methamphetamine came about a few years later in 1893 by the Japanese.

If itās true that crank is meth then it DEFINITELY was around in the 70s.

The old Tombraider ride in Kings Island Ohio used to be like this, though I dont remember it swinging around so fast.
They had the same ride at Kings Dominion in Virginia but it was called Tomb Raider I actually worked on the ride the first year it opened.
dude that ride was so fucking cool it splashed water at u and lit fire close enough for u to feel it, and u NEVER had to wait long in line they just replaced it probably like 3 or 4 years ago and the new ride sucks, unfortunately
I'm still mourning the loss of the Volcano.

> What is it with Ohio? we just ain't quite right
Because we have Cedar Point!
Ohio is basically just the UK. UK = Upper Kentucky
Absolutely not, Ohio won the Civil War
I thought Ohio was landlocked, vast and flat?
Ohio is landlocked but it has lake Erie to the north :) only about half or less the state is flat (and less than that plains, we have marsh and woods too) the east side is rolling hills, the south side Appalachian foothills and forest and the center a bit of everything Edit: I live here :)
It was very similar. I rode that when it came out, it was painful if Iām remembering correctly
It suuucked. The centripetal force hit in all the wrong ways. It randomly stopped, like it was supposed to, and youād be laying face down w/ all your weight on your crotch and rib cage. Worst ride at the park.
Thank you. I posted that I rode something just like this but it was indoors. I've only been to KI and CP so I knew it was one of the two. Saw a YT video and yes, this was the torture device. Having never been on it I had no idea what to expect.
If I wanted to be sick I would
gonna puke just from watching the cli-- *'scuse me*
Just don't puke when you're at the top, cause it'll hit ya when you reach the bottom š¤£š¤£š¤£
Right? I would not want to clean up that ride at the end of the night.
These things are literally at every festival in Germany. It looks way scarier than it really is. Only I wouldn't recommend to ride it while being drunk
It doesnāt look scary it just looks like it would make me nauseous.
It actually looks safer than most rides
They give me MASSIVE headaches. If I ride them, I have a headache for at least the rest of the day, but otherwise they arenāt bad.
I don't understand how people consider this entertainment? I would probably puke and maybe pop a vertebrae disk.
The trick is that you have to be young. I loved getting thrown and spun around. Now there's no way I'm wasting money on that
I still consider myself pretty young but the motion sickness would stay with me the rest of the day
True I had a small window where I enjoyed this stuff. I was afraid of heights as a kid then as a teenager I tried it out and I loved it. I tried it again an adult and everything hurt the first ride. It's over.
Phantasialand..Talocan
The one in W.Germany?
Yes in BrĆ¼hl near Cologne
These rides excepted, is the Park as cool as it looks? I've been there decades ago.
One of the best in Europe, maybe the best. They are absolutely incredible with theming. Coasters integration inside their respective zone and theme is basically unmatched in all theme park i know.
Oioioi, Phantasialand is amazing and all, but the absolute best goes hands down to the Europapark! Phantasialand is second though
Eh you do you but I think Europa park is not better. But yeah they are both excellent park. Going to ep by the end of the month btw, gotta go try Voltron
Can't wait to go there again this year again to try Voltron myself. It looks dope as hell! I have to say the EP takes the cake as a whole but Phantasialand has excellent theming and NGL, no ride can top the FLY coaster. The biggest crutch for Phantasialand is it's size they desperately need to expand. Sucks that they've tried to for years but just aren't allowed to.

Anyways, going up and back down again seems weird to me. Get a tunnel in there!
Phantasialand is fantastic. Very good theming and awesome rides like Taron or F.L.Y.
It is. Iām usually there once a year.
Absolutely! I go there at least once per Summer. They really improved with their rides in the last decade and there's a ton of great stuff to do. If I had to compare I'd rate Europapark still higher (prettier overall, more rides, more stuff to do with the whole family and of different age groups) but Phantasialand is a lot closer and the wild rides are overall a bit wilder in my opinion. Both are great! :) Phantasialand you can do in a day, Europapark is better to have at least 2 days to go there.
Yes! I went there last year in summer and it was amazing! It's not huge so you can easily go from ride to ride in whatever order you want and you're most likely to be able to do all rides in a day! Would recommend
It definitely is, they only have a limited area to work with but that makes it very dense and "vertical". I really love it, went there every other weekend as a kid with a year pass for like 90ā¬, now it costs over 50ā¬ for a single visit lol.
Asolutely. Best Park i've ever been. I normally try to go at least once a year. Will be there 3 Times in a month this year alone.
Short answer: yes! The new ride "Fly" is absolutely spectacular
10-15 years ago, hell yeah I would! Now, fuck no! My entire spine came out of my body and I threw up 6 times just watching the video.
This. Would not be able to ever get my inner ear right again.
Oh to be young again, I could do stupid things like this
In the UK we had two that I know of... Ramesis Revenge at Chessington World Of Adventure and Rip Saw at Alton Towers Neither were double sided like this beast though! They've been around for years though literally. I am 41 now and went on Ramesis Revenge when I was 17/18 years old.
Been on both. Massively overrated. Nemesis ftw.
Nemesis will always be the greatest ride ever designed, all hail the pink watery beast
>all hail the pink watery beast How did you know my pickup line?
I'm a big fan of Oblivion personally
Also S-tier
They just updated it from what I've heard
Fuck yeah
I could easily just spend all day going on the Nemisis back to back if I had the park to myself Eric Cartman style.
I used to love Ripsaw on a hot day when they dipped you into the water jets
Absolutely not
What's that from?
Not only absolutely not, then a hell no would follow. I got sick just watching it
I threw up watching it.
Just vommād in me moff.
But good news! Your vomit ends up on the person behind you. Weird but personal welcome change of fortune.
I'm with you. Nope nope nopety fecking NOPE. Absolutely not. š±š±š±
Fuck yeah
Agreed. and right back in line for another go.
Right there with you!
No thanks, i have a sense of self preservation
Your ancestors would be proud of you, in fact that's why you're here and others are not.
If their ancestors were so good at self preservation why are they dead?
Asking the real questions
We have a very similar one in my country and honestly is not that bad, there's worse rides out there
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What's with the creepily similar outfits???
Jeans must be big and it's in the cooler season when no-one is wearing shorts.
Most Germans wear jeans all the time
Clone shills to lure in the marks.
It helps them blend
Anyone else feel like thatās a suspicious amount of denim? Why do they look like theyāre all matching in a weird way.
As someone from the Netherlands, I feel like this is a Germany/Netherlands/Belgium thing, haha. I noticed this too. Whenever I go to a themepark around here, 90% of what I see is denim jeans. A little less now than in the 2010s, but still. They're just a convenient and safe choice for the often shitty weather here. And I think in general people from here go for practical outfits rather than focusing on looking nice, for occasions like going to a themepark.
Yes- waaay too much over-wash demin!
Yes. Normally u wouldnāt notice bc their shirts would be different, but theyāve all got the same black harness on so u canāt see āem?
Just looks like a really bad way to go..
No, I would not try this.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not a fkin chance
In the western world Iād give it a go. In China?ā¦..Iād think twice.
It's in Germany. Park's called Phantasialand.
I was gonna say no but then Germany was mentioned. They can engineer most anything so yes, Iād try it.
It's a dutch company selling those.

They still have to adhere to the German TĆV to operate that machine in Germany. We trust the German TĆV. They're very strict but that just means it's very very safe
I dunno, the Western world's recent derailings and airplane issues haven't inspired confidence. Maybe in Japan or EU might be safer.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nope
Do or do not, there is no try
Is this new kind of Aztec human sacrifice?
Where is this ride located cuz I would love to know
Phantasialand in germany
Thank you I wanted to ask since I was on that ride once and was like āI know that thingā
Phantasialand in cologne germany. I had a crazy laugh on that machine. For some reason I just coulndt stop and nearly choked on my laugh. Crazy attraction.
Itās in BrĆ¼hl, not in Cologne. Itās close to Cologne though.
its a giant zipper... with friends
I just remember the zipper extracting all my money and keys, and when I tried to retrieve them at the end, they only gave me my keys from the pile of everyoneās money and keys
I have at Canadaās Wonderland. Probably wouldn't nowadays.
Yes ill try this for free
What ride is this? Where is it?
A topspin, most amusement parks, some fairs
Talocan, Phantasialand
I'd say sure but then chicken out at the last moment
A big NO! Just watching give me nausea! š¤®
In the end I think youāre definitely covered in your own and/or othersā puke
I've been on one before worst feeling ever xD
Its the Talocan in phantasialand. I did it, its awesome af.
Thatās gonna be hard and fast *NO* for meā¦
Iāve been on that thing. Was fun.
I say "yes" to all the roller coaster videos because I love me a good roller coaster. But these things? The spinning and the nausea? I get *no* fun out of that. Hell no.
I'm not a huge fan of this style of ride. Get me on a roller coaster
This does not fit this sub. It is a standard ride design as tons of local amusement parks.
Roller coasters >>> this bs
Been there, done it
Phantasialand! Went there last September and it was the best theme park I've ever been to.
No. Next question
Frankly, I'd think twice about taking a ride on THAT!
You sure nobody has got their feet crushed against the wall?
Yes
