So many potential points of failure on this. I think the designer was as insane as his/her creation.

One thing that used to freak me out about amusement park rides was whenever I'd hear something metallic clang, or groan or anything. My mind would start wondering "okay... what just broke?"
Would be fun to make a ride that had some mechanism that intentionally made extremely disturbing noises like that, as though the whole structure was going to come down at any moment. Heh.

Looks like a Decepticon playing with a school bus.

0:32 Would be my barf point. Can't handle being upside down, too much blood floating around inside me.

No way in hell.

An3urysm: The Ride

The music alone makes me nauseous.

We had a similar ride in Louisville, KY at Kentucky Kingdom (closed in 2010) although it was often broken and was removed in 2005. The Quake was the first of its kind from Vekoma (Waikiki Wave).

I rode it many times while it was still operating. It wasn't all that much fun, but our out of town guests always loved it.

That ride could be so much worse. Those large arms were moving really slowly. Imagine if they sped up and went in different directions at the same time. Carnage. Still, there is no way I'd go near it.

Pfft! Piece of piss, mate! That ride needs to man up and get some G's goin.

My golly, I would ride that just for the sweet, sweet Russian rock n' roll.

I don't think they could make this go very fast. It would be very easy to make positive Gs become negative Gs. That's a good way to make a lot of people pass out.

The Quake looks much faster than this ride. The forces on the arms must be immense.

I believe this ride was designed to study how to distribute vomit equally over all passengers.

Doesn't look too bad, it seems a variation on the same sort of ride such as Ripsaw at Alton Towers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0T7HkDlExI) whereas that does move pretty quick and depending on the operator you can get pretty drenched.

http://www.dreamworld.com.au/Rides/Thrill-Rides/Wipeout.aspx was debuted in 93, moves quicker and does a lot more flipping/inverting the riders. Seems similar to the Quake although it looks like the Quake doesn't invert.. =)

Better vid of the whole ride:

And yeah, the negative g's are quite strenuous at some points.

But *Russian construction is much shoddier, so there's a higher risk-thrill factor. You never know when that thing is going to collapse.

Invocations (russia) cannot be called by mxxcon because mxxcon is not privileged - sorry.

And people PAY to subject themselves to that?!

The screaming reminds me of my Rollercoaster Tycoon playing days.

This is nothing. The only thing insane about this is letting it go 3 minutes instead of making more money by giving more rides.

Not much action in the middle compared to the ends

Hey CoreyStup-Is it true that at the Kentucky Kingdom they hand out complimentary mint juleps and Lucky Strikes to patrons 8 and up?
