Problematic Roller Coasters

In this video, we discuss the history, block zones, and ridiculous operations of Space Mountain at the Magic Kingdom! Space Mountain is not only the world's first completely indoor steel roller coaster but also the world's first completely computer automated roller coaster!

Expedition Everest is one of the Walt Disney World's most iconic attractions! This roller coaster helped turn the performance of Disney's Animal Kingdom around, and delivers rides to millions of guests every year! In this video, we discuss the history of the attraction, how it helped Animal Kingdom, and the madness behind its operations! This is yet another crazy Disney roller coaster!

Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain may just be the world's weirdest roller coaster. The attraction is a conversion of an old dark ride into a tight and compact wooden roller coaster! The experience the coaster delivers to riders is completely bizarre! But the ride also comes a long with a list of operational issues that we'll discuss in this video! No issues that pose any danger to riders of course but definitely some interesting stuff! Thank you Eiam Staples for making this video possible! Eiam is son of Gene Staples, the man who bought Indiana Beach when its prior operator went bankrupt. Give Eiam a follow on instagram! He has even more behind the scenes photos of Lost Coaster! - @stapleseiam

Rattler at Fiesta Texas had to be one of the most problematic roller coasters of all time. Designed to interact with the cliff walls of the park, this wooden menace would cause hundreds of injuries the first year it opened and require years of modifications to smoothen out the experience!

Great American Scream Machine was once the world's tallest and fastest looping roller coaster, and actually helped Six Flags Great Adventure climb out of years of decline. The ride was quite rough but its impact was significant for Great Adventure. In this video, I cover Great Adventure's uprise in the 1970s, it's decline in the 1980s, how Scream Machine helped turn the park around, and all of Scream Machine's operational issues.
