it oughta now..

Simply yummy ... be sure to send this to Bobcoaster and Trackwalker, eh?

[Dirk_Ermen]

cool, looks almost like an RCT rollercoaster

Thats a well sick ride.

Yeah, looks very cool.

Looks cool, old and painfull.. Those laterals look insane!

very nice! Ride looks great! You think its sped up at all though?

[gouldy]

I think it is sped up ever so slightly, with the wear of the footage, judging by the kids sitting in the car towards the end of the video anyway, it looks that way, but certainly not by much! Those laterals would still be just crazy!

It's easy to tell they had no sense of banking back then. That's awesome. If it really goes that speed, I looks more fun than 9 out of 10 wooden coasters I've seen nowadays.

Yea the lats look really painful. It would have a been an even better ride back then if they knew about banking.

Haha wow, that looks like so much fun. Nice find Jayman.

they did, too much banking ruins a ride, case in point... geauga lake raging wolf bobs. ...

isn't that cyclone at crystal beach? the birth of POVs!

[jayman]

no.. this is crystal beach

I didn't ride Raging Wolf Bobs when I was there because the line was a little longer than I wanted to wait, but from pictures it seems that ride was doomed to be boring, laterals or not.

Wow, the Cyclone, nice find Jayman, I was looking for some footage of that.

I dont think the video is sped up any. These rides were notorious for insane speeds and crazy elements that hurt people. Infact, the fact that the camera is not using a wide angle lens (which usually helps things look faster) adds to how crazy this ride was. Doing things by hand on paper just brings in so many variables that you cant compute as clearly. I imagine these rides to ride just like that POV showed. Rides that truely made you wonder "Is this thing going to stay on the tracks?"

This was my mother and father's ride before the park randomly closed for seemingly no reason.

Banking? What's that?

BTW super major insane bonus cool points if you can find a POV of the Fireball at that same park.

Reel to reel cameras always look sped up, there really isn't a constant framerate like video.
