I happen to find this Water Ride a bit odd.

Firstly because of the extra little dip but mostly because the ride uses turntables to turn the boats at the corner points seen.

I wonder how many units of that particular water ride exist...

I know I'm bending the rules, but this water slide at the former Action Park in Vernon, New Jersey was know for giving its victims a particularly painful experience. The slide was located in a park know for its badly designed water slides and go-kart tracks. Although I could into more detail about the park, which was known for its poorly designed rides, one ride tops the rest: the Cannonball Loop. Unlike the other rides, Safety precautions were taken, and the employees (all of whom were adolescents) were given $100 USD to test out the slide. Unlucky riders reported back injuries and heavy amounts of traction. The government finally shut the ride down in the mid-late 1990s, and was dismantled in 1997. People don't want tor think about this infamous slide; however, various rider reports and photos of the slide show that it did exist. These aren't Photoshops; these are the real deal:








I recently found out about this. I'm glad I wasn't there! Links to rider stories, photos and info on action park: http://weirdnj.com/s...es/action-park/

Update: sorry for posting the same Ride twice Whatever, i found some crazy, odd, insane, and obscure coasters & flat rides!

Dragon Flyer: a British kid's coaster self powered by a gasoline engine!

Half-Pipe: A stock coaster mounted on top of a building; it never opened due to structural concerns.

Outlaw Run: Messed up wooden coaster under construction at silver dollar city is to include inversions; what did we learn from Son of Beast again?

Zola-7: An ex-Japanese notable for including a dark ride segment.


And the weirdest coaster i found was...







Weiner Looping: The scariest coaster i have ever seen; who would ride this thing?

What happened to Ninja?!

Hello again, fellow thrill-seekers! I was searching though the pages of the RCDB, and I once came across some of the world's most terrifying rides.

This Arrow Corkscrew coaster is fairly normal...until you realize the park named it Space Salamander.


Big Air: A Vekoma stock model that resembles an Intiman half-pipe coaster. The next boomerang?

Insane:This is what happens when you combine a flat ride with a coaster. Only intamin would design this unusual flat ride COASTER.

Why would anyone ride that? It looks insanely painful ... o_O why was that ride necessary???

@ Beginner2:

After a thorough examination of the seating, I don't think it would be too painful:
Looks cozy to me! This pic was taken during construction.

I announce my return after a very long hiatus. Here's my gift to you:

The flying bus is a world-class design from a small park in India. This rusted, dilapidated train wreck of a ride appears to be humanity's greatest accomplishment. It is a shuttle coaster. To prevent passengers from raising their hand, (or seeing out of the car), comfort consists of a box on wheels. As you could see, no one appears to be riding it. This makes no sense, because it looks perfectly safe.

Looks safe to me.
