What if Larson Loop was like this?

Wow I've just stumbled on this neat image when I'm looking for a better "Riverside Bobs" blueprint for someone who is now strugging to replicate. This is perhaps because the keyword for an internet search engine "patent" is clearly something to do with coaster blueprints. I never thought that I really could see the figurative but feasible "4D Free Spin Larson Loop" attraction model.

Beyond imagination! Freakin' awesome! 8-)

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.
I will be a Thai citizen if possible in a few years.

Damn Prater's had some extremely interesting rides throughout it's history.

I have to appreciate Dirk because he posted an amazing video of the original 4D Free Spin! :)

Bump for... awesomeness!

- I got an amazing find related to the circular loop thrill! Looks like the Classic Disney's "Loop-de-Loop" action. Too bad that it was removed after a fatal accident. The rider had failed to "properly" fasten their seatbelt. I guess that this absolutely fits in with the world of Chaplin - Modern Times!



:) Spectacular! :)

Been there done that:


This ride existed until somewhere 2011/2012 in a small kids playground/park. The most remarkable ride because the minimum length for this ride was 1m 70cm. Too bad the entire ride was scrapped due high maintenance costs. The "park" where it used to locate is now bankrupt as well...
