^^Why the pedals if it doesn't need them to move...Why pedals on a roller coaster ANYWAY?

Browsing RCDB, this came up...it doesn't seem like a coaster to me, but RCDB counts it, so...

There's a couple of the "pedal coasters" in Japan. Some require you to pedal out of the station, some don't. That particular one, I had to pedal to get started. It was very slightly faster if you pedaled, but it wasn't worth the effort to do so.

Now that's a travelling coaster!

Oh my god. That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen <3.

Just how sick would you be after 20 minutes on it though?

I think I'd be in a neck brace before I'd get sick :roll:

I see where Pax got their inspiration from

Did anyone post Tommy Lee's 'ring of fire' drum kit yet?

Not exactly a coaster, but the S&S Space Shot at Magical Midway looks a bit dodge.

Only has 4 seats, and for some reason they built the tower 1/3 taller than they needed to.

^ One of the towers at Liseberg is the same. I guess it makes it look more imposing? Usually parks get smaller ones because of height restrictions, so I don't see why they didn't just make the actual ride system bit taller too...

How?! I can't imagine being able to play the drums while strapped into whatever kind of harness he must have to wear for that.

 

[rollermonkey]

He wears a soft 5-point harness. The fan contest winner passenger who rides with him for the second half of the bit wears an odd OTSR type device.

From the other thread, a coaster casually hanging out at a kids park:

Love it <3
