If you’ve been browsing Youtube for videos of theme park rides, you may be wondering what roller coaster videos pov means. POV stands for point of view i.e. you are seeing what the rider is seeing and, in my opionion, the best videos of rides are those taken from a pov perspective.
It can be really [...]
I’m always on the lookout for more funny rollercoaster videos and I just came across this one on YouTube.
This was taken on the SAW ride at Thorpe Park in the UK:
The faces this guy is pulling are hilarious. His girlfriend seems to look quite serene through most of it (except when she’s laughing at him) [...]
Hershey Park in Hershey, PA combines 2 of my major passions: roller coasters and chocolate, so it already sounds like a great place to me. But what about the Hershey Park roller coaster videos?
Hershey Park has 11 roller coasters, including the boomerang style Sidewinder seen in the video above. This is a high speed rides [...]
With so many people able to take video on their mobile phones as well as a host of compact and low cost cameras, it’s inevitable that there are a number of videos of roller coaster accidents available online.
Thankfully, accidents on theme park rides don’t happen very often as there are strict laws governing theme parks [...]
This Sheikra roller coaster video may look vaguely familiar, because it is a very similar ride to yesterday’s video of Griffon. They are both vertical drop roller coasters (Sheikra was the first in the US) with a proper 90 degree drop, and there are just 5 of them around the world.
In 2007 Sheikra was converted [...]
This is a great Griffon roller coaster video courtesy of ThemeParkInsider.com. This roller coaster has it all – high climbs, vertical drops and even water!
You can find Griffon at Busch Gardens Europe, which is in Williamsburg, Virginia. I like this video for a variety of reasons:
1. you get a running commentary from a very dry [...]
I love toy roller coaster videos like this one. It’s amazing what you can now build yourself from a kit (although “toy” may be an understatement for these):
If you’d like to build your own roller coaster, I’ve added a few of the best kits you can buy on this page.
Not quite the adrenaline rush you [...]
Usually videos can’t even begin to convey how frightening a roller coaster can be, but I have been searching around for some scary roller coaster videos. Actually, the video of Saw: The Ride in the previous post did a good job of conveying the fear through the lack of any screaming.
My preference is for POV [...]
Some roller coaster ride videos are better than others. Most of the time I enjoy hearing the screams of people “enjoying” a roller coaster but this video is cool for the opposite reason.
It’s a pov video of SAW – The Ride at Thorpe Park in the UK, and the lack of any noise apart from [...]
I saw the phrase “redneck rollercoaster video” and was naturally intrigued. I had visions of a rickety old roller coaster in some Virginia backwater with Charlie Daniels blaring out during the ride.
Turns out it is something very different as you’ll see from this video:
The vehicles are hooked up to be driven from that elevated seat [...]
