Well considering the topic for "Strange Coasters" has done so well, how about a strange rides one?
Simple format, just post your pictures/videos of strange rides from across the world.
Kicking off with this odd fairground ride

Whoah! What the actual hell?! Never seen one of those before, but there apparently was one at Goose Fair two years ago.
I now promise if I see one, I'll ride it. :P
Can't really miss a chance to mention Hansa Park's DIE GLOCKE:
With a stunning capacity of six!

HAHA! I remember seeing this a while back and thinking "wtf!" What on earth possessed them to first get such a low capacity ride and then theme it like that?Sam wrote:

DIE GLOCKE! It was actually very good, with fire and water effects. Just glad it wasn't as busy as in that picture when we were there :P
The Roller didn't really do a lot for me if I'm honest, in fact I remember skipping at at Goose 2010, although it was certainly different
Great topic though, will try and think of some.
EDIT: Just thought of this, looks completely insane (and horrible if I'm honest) but I'd give it a go none the less :P
(The Zipper part)

I believe that that ride is included in RCT3, and it looks weird in that, but actually seeing one makes it even more weird! :PMattmash wrote:

Again, Zippers are awesome rides. They simply don't make 'em like they used to. :no: You guys are pussies.
That Kick Flip ride looks insane! Probably would be sickening after 1 minute though let alone 2! DIE Glock looks like good fun but it must get the most awful queues! Diogo are you sure that ride isn't quite common as my local fair are getting one!
Anyway this is probably the most unique flat i've seen.

I have seen that one before. Looks rather good, if a little too hectic. No chance to build up suspece.
If you are scared from the onset though the whole ride is just a heart inducing, palpitation encouraging, blood-pressure rising, left arm numbing ride you have ever been on.DiogoJ42 wrote: I have seen that one before. Looks rather good, if a little too hectic. No chance to build up suspece.
That's some scary ****.
I've yet to find any ghost train that is "scary"...most of them are tripe. There are a few good ones out there though, and this definately looks like one of them. Seems to be a standard track layout though.
The original Haunted House I felt made a cracking go at it.

The Zipper- now there was a classic thriller if ever there was one, not been one operated in this county since the 90s
Here's a few very 'unique' machines I like the look of...
Huss 'Flick Flack' DEVIL ROCK
VORTEX
HUSS BOOSTER ...would love to ride one of these and see one travelling over here! 8)
- AMOUR EXPRESS -Modern much faster reworking of the classic Caterpillar Ride, would love to see something like this travelling over here too,very much a novelty and great fun to watch as much as ride!

That Vortex thing kinda reminds me of Camelot's Excalibur 2, is it made by the same people?

Stumbled across these 2 really really weird ones..... first one looks like a cross between the Roller and an old Mystic Swing ride ...
