[montezooma"Can I get clamshells out of this ATM?"]

So on with another update. This time I have an old ride catalog from Vekoma. It features the infamous tilt, or as they call it, "Thrill Lift" coaster.

Where was this Jamaican Bobsled at??

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

I think the "Thrill Lift" is the most horrifying coaster concept ever developed.

[CommandoI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

^ Whats the deal with those? I believe only one was ever built. Did it have a lot of problems or did the idea just never catch on?

[Geauga DogThe only thing better than a naked woman is a naked donkey!]

I'm thinking the Thrill Lift didn't catch on due to too many "what if's" and the mechanics behind the lift mechanism.

Don't know how they could classify their Flying Dutchman's as a "Family Flying Coaster" as they are not even close to being a family ride.

Despite it being a flipped photo it's nice to see a pic of the Geauga Lake Mind Eraser/Head Spin.

It is a Mountain Coaster at Mystic Mountain in Jamaica. It is probably the best one I have been on, and I love that they let you connect two cars together.

[thrillerman1Can you see the donkey in my toast?]

What is the "Looping Coaster" around the pyramid shaped building?

[simon8899I wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

I think the "Thrill Lift" isn't a bad idea as long as its well engineered and regulary tested by independent state-employed engineers like the TÜV in germany...

Okay incidents can still happen - but I trust those TÜV engineers more than those employed by the parks themselves.

[AllenA07My small thing speaks for itself]

I believe I have a copy of that catalog some where. The tilt lift coaster was an interesting idea, I distinctly remember it getting a lot of buzz on the web after some of the pictures of it got out.
