Blue Tornado Front Seat on-ride HD POV Gardaland, Italy

[CodyLayden]

this coaster is EXACTLY like Flight Deck...aka Top Gun at Canada's Wonderland in Maple, Ontario, Canada

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@CodyLayden It's not exactly the same. Flight Deck is a standard Vekoma SLC & doesn't have the helix at the end of the ride that this one has.

[MrSalfordmark]

this ride is identical to INFUSION at Blackpool Pleasure beach in england

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@MrSalfordmark They're the same type of coaster made by the same company, but Infusion is a standard Vekoma SLC which doesn't have a helix like this one has.

[piisyummy]

Did you swallow your chewing gum?

[superpuolustus]

Dear coasterforce: Could you please film next summer in Finland?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@superpuolustus We would really like to go to Finland this summer, but with all the new coasters opening elsewhere that looks unlikely to happen.

[MyKeyReviews]

Woah... that looked intense, can't image what the world would be without roller-coasters. :o

[FreakingFreakyfied]

Do you actually get permission to film onride?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@FreakingFreakyfied You have to get permission to film on rides or run the risk of being kicked out & banned from the park. That is why we are able to film all the rides from the beginning all the way back through the stations.

[FreakingFreakyfied]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Ok, and where can I get permission?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@FreakingFreakyfied From park management or the ride ops.

[FreakingFreakyfied]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom I asked the ops once and I didn't get it haha, it was only Robin Hood, Walibi Holland, but still :) I'll try again ! thank you!

[Snowiethebunny]

This looks a lot smoother than the Leathal Weapon In Australia that i went on in October. Is it?

[pkiboy2000]

This one looks very smooth!! The smoothest one ive ridden is the one at Wildwood NJ!!

[frenchfrey65]

Rust the ride...

[DJBassFreQ]

thats like the slowest lift hill ive ever seen

[TetsuneSonic]

It seems You didn't hold cam well when roll over

[Loundlim]

The tracklayout is great but tere are over 30 coaster with the same tracklayout in the world so its a bit boring. :-(

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Loundlim Actually there are only 4 other coasters with the same layout as this one. All the others don't have the helix at the end & are shorter.

[RideTheLightning316]

I remember years back when this coaster was new, a kid (around 12 years old) had a heart attack and died after this ride :(

(I'm from Italy, I live near this theme park)

[MrTechnoBeast]

Whats a helix? lol

[callmeEpiC734]

@MrTechnoBeast A helix is a piece where you twist up or down in the same pattern while banking

[MrZombow]

Love the helix!!

[iSpoofzZ]

What's the top speed?..

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@iSpoofzZ 50 mph

[TH3b3st7]

@iSpoofzZ its OVER 8000

[xXxL3W15xXx]

Looked really good actually, weird first inversion

[mindovermuscle2]

Are they ever gonna a make a coaster like this 200 feet?

[djfireball999]

BONUS HELIX!

[MochaColaa]

This is like afterburn at carowinds but more jerky

[masyitaaaaaaaa]

I wanna ride thissss! Hahaha

[mtan247]

It looks like Battlestar galatica cylon line in universal studios Singapore

[JKalama25799752]

@mtan247 It's the total opposite..

[ArwillTV]

this is like in philippines's star city's STAR FLYER

[mds1978]

Thanks for answering my questions!!

[Super5URFER]

someone sleep when the coaster lift up

[mds1978]

What does SLC mean? And how is this different from rides that are similar in the usa (such as batman at six flags magic mountain)? What part of the video shows this helix that you mention? Thanks

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@mds1978 SLC stands for Suspended Looping Coaster & Vekoma was the first company to copy B&M's inverts (like the Batman clones) with this design. The B&M inverts use a single beam overhead track with outside running wheels & their trains have 4 seats across. SLCs have skeletal-looking track with inside running wheels & two-seat cars, often combining these cars into massive trains (upwards of 10 cars per train). There are many SLCs in the USA, but they are rougher than the B&M inverts.

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@mds1978 You can see the helix at 1:33 in the video & it lasts from 1:49-1:55.

[xXtornadoEPICfaceXx]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom What are you talking about? Mind Bender (or eraser, Idk) has the almost exact same layout

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@xXtornadoEPICfaceXx All we are saying is that they are not identical/exactly the same. Neither Mind Bender nor the Mind Eraser SLC coasters have the helix that this one has.

[crazydud619dx]

@mds1978

SLC means Suspended Looping Coaster and is different from Batman. The only difference they have is that they're both below the track but they are both made by different companies.

[poisonstrudel]

This is ALSO like Ednor at LaRonde.

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@poisonstrudel They're the same type made by the same company, but Ednör - L'Attaque is a standard Vekoma SLC, which doesn't have a helix like this one & is shorter (2260 feet long).

[mbedek11]

Slowest lift hill everrrr

[arsubaflirhu]

This coaster is very similar to one that is in mexico.

Your name is Batman the ride

Six Flags Mexico

[dwkcamman611]

Quick ride...but nice!

[HimGuyOverThere]

Just like Top Gun @ Canadas wonderland!

[fairgameplayer]

this is also in canada. Canada's wonderland "Flight Deck"

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@fairgameplayer Flight Deck is a standard SLC, which doesn't have a helix like this one & is shorter (2260 feet long).

[82AwesomeSauce]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom and this has water,Flight Deck doesn"t.

[Sk8eRxX590]

@fairgameplayer get told



[Intaminator]

Could this please stop with the comments?

"I've been on the same ride there and there."

Its a fucking clone. Whta do you expect?

[2bor2bor2]

I've been on the one like this in Widwood NJ

[oritaorighta]

@2bor2bor2 me too. The Great Nor Easter

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@2bor2bor2 @oritaorighta Fly the Great Nor'Easter at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, NJ is a custom SLC, but doesn't have a helix like this one & is shorter (2170 feet long).

[pipona80]

the same coaster is in "parque de la costa, buenos aires, argentina"

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@pipona80 Desafío is a standard SLC, which doesn't have a helix like this one & is shorter (2260 feet long).

[thegoof529]

Is this a laying coaster or just flying?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@thegoof529 It's neither. It's an SLC, which is Vekoma's type of inverted coaster.

[ttam23ps3]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Hey ECG what was your first thrill ride? Also this is random but how old is your son?
