I've been on the Trabant several times. Once in KC I happened upon the Cloudpoofer 2000, an indoor Wipeout. Unfortunately, I got sick on it but made it to the end without ruining others' rides. Just that one particular installation. My favorite older ride is the Octopus.
That ride looks so fun... I wish they would just come back with a generation of ancient flat rides. Trabant, Rotor, Octopus, Rock-O-Plane, Sidewinder... I miss 'em all
No one needs a ride called the El Nino or Satan's B***h Slap
I totally agree with you on Trabant, Rotor and Octopus. Thankfully, the likes of Round-Up/Meteorite are still continuing. The only one I wasn't too keen on though was the Rock-o-Plane.
That is SOOO not fair. The one I've been on about 100 times, simply goes forwards, up, then down, then suddenly stop. None of the variable speed changing and going backwards :mad:!!!! RAWR! Can you post a full video of this ride, if you can?
When's next time? Also, true about the 'few' bit... and if they are, it's usually a really crappy soundless video recorded on the lowest quality mobile phone camera possible, and lasting about 10 seconds <_<
@theultimatekoopa2 Yeah who ever is operaterating this ride...Sure knows how to bring out the full potential of the machine..really knows how to screw with people and make this ride fun!!! Most operater of the rides are just lazy and do the basics and in 3 mins the ride is over...
That's what I thought last year when I saw a travling Trabant. However since then I've seen at least three different ones traveling aorund the NJ/NY area!
True!

Sorry, I don't have a full video.
However, I'll probably get a full video next time considering how few Trabant videos are on YouTube.

We had one of the first ones back in the 60's at Palisades Amusement Park. I worked there for years.

Wow. I've always wanted to ride an original trabant ride like this once. Unfortunately, there aren't any of these out west.
