Here's a good one from Suoi Tien Park in Vietnam.

Who knew a roller coaster with a conventional 30 meter-tall lift hill was capable of going 120 kph? If it were true, it would be the third-fastest roller coaster on Earth and the #1 fastest unlaunched one.
Are you serious? Orrr...
KPH! NOT MPH.
 
^It's 200 kph. He misread the sign, apparently. But it's still "true", 200 kph would make it the 3rd fastest and fastest traditional coaster.

Could you post an RCDB link to that coaster?

Intersting!

Okay: http://rcdb.com/3747.htm

The stats for the height and length from that advertisement are on the link, but not the crazy speed stat. No idea who made it, but its Wikipedia article says Vekoma made it (no source for that was posted, though).

???

I did say kph.
Yes? It's not going to be the 3rd fastest in the world if it's only 120kph is it, you do realise the difference don't you?

The sign says 200 kph. I think he mixed up the speed with the length(1200 meters).

Alright, sorry I see my error. Yeah, 200 kph. I was thinking of the conversion to mph, which is just over 120 mph.

Cheers, its a rather strange contraption, looks almost togo ish but is likely some obscure manufacturer!

Infusion used to have "You reach forces of 33 G's" on the audio track - some other CFers will vouch for me on this seen as they also heard it.

PBB also still continue to name The Big One as the tallest and steepest coaster in the UK.

They still do, it's laughable that announcement is still played in the Infusion station. :shock:
