Thailand Photo TR: Final PArk, Dreamworld now up.


Recommended Posts

Here's my recent trip to Thailand. I had been before but never done all the parks.

This is pretty much in Chronological order.

First up is Pattaya.

Now Pattaya gets a bad rap as a sex tourism destination, which it still is, but they are trying to attract a broader spectrum of people.

I am sure everyone knows about the Big Tower with the strange SBNO launched coaster, but you will have to wait to see that.

First up we visited Ripley's, They have the whole top floor of a shopping centre and, besides the usual Believe It Or Not museum, they have 3 other world class attractions.

A big thank you must go to the Manager of Ripley's for showing us around and allowing me to photograph places that are not normally allowed.

Also a huge thanks must go to my travelling companion, David, for putting up with me being so geeky about these attractions and, also, appearing in most of the photos.

Finally sorry to the guy with the red shirt who seemed to be following us round the attractions, and hence, was also in a lot of photos.

Enjoy

I know its blurry, but it gives you some idea of the colours involved.

the bubble room

1619324254_DSC08040(Small).JPG.303df06cc5f9b452b8832f8812d51f3b.JPG

In this room you had to push one of the square in order to open the door.

2068864534_DSC08038(Small).JPG.e44bc3558a995b3280f3cc54f332dc0e.JPG

This place really was stunning.

1527243505_DSC08034(Small).JPG.8d04f2641f2940364a3cb50ca5504596.JPG

Yay, it`s me.

378786416_DSC08033(Small).JPG.0bcd14f01f6822f729816b0316defb7d.JPG

The flash doesn't really do this place justice. All the rooms had different lighting and special effects in them.

1752150315_DSC08030(Small).JPG.bce4bb0554c011841975b6778ec41fec.JPG

You are in Pitch black and have to feel your way out of some rooms.

1428696450_DSC08029(Small).JPG.bfb2383a4d378c804eedbd6be544372a.JPG

Did I say thank you to David for being in all my pics? And representing.

Then head in to the maze.

You wear white gloves...

I had read about this a little, but it was far better than I had imagined.

1144382462_DSC08006(Small).JPG.699d1486b52fee3c0a45e64a94d96486.JPG

First up was the infinity maze.

196920346_DSC08000(Small).JPG.9cd690992ad1eda8a67a8bcba3928ce7.JPG

There are 4 attractions here.

152769168_DSC07999(Small).JPG.43bc36462910cc230617429f6315a835.JPG

Haunted adventure is their latest attraction. And very good it was too.

1855179165_DSC07991(Small).JPG.0b1e7e125ba0083b0cdbb651c439cf6a.JPG

Ripley`s can easily be spotted from outside.

Next up was Ripley`s Haunted adventure, motion cineama and the museum itself.

The Haunted adventure was the only place I was not allowed to photograph inside. They had a couple of actors and lots of animatronics. The best one was a man falling off a ladder.

 

Enjoy.

It was quite a big theatre

The sync was a little off, but overall a good effort

1936761384_DSC08073(Small).JPG.031840969f253232aebb73b18a53b632.JPG

even the waiting areas were themed.

Pattaya Funny Land is a, if you excuse the pun, funny little park. Located at the Pattaya Park Tower hotel It has 2 coasters a tower shot and a water park, oh and a very tall tower you can jump off.

731219481_DSC08169(Small).JPG.0acb53ca616d83b9877376917f11f7bc.JPG

I am sure this is what you have all been waiting for

Maybe it was just me, but this ride almost looked homemade.

1680912492_DSC08158(Small).JPG.62144b00b714dcdebd15577acc102fc7.JPG

The restraints didn't lock properly so you got a bit of bonus airtime when you hit the top.

106551821_DSC08157(Small).JPG.a55777b8a6f4b5269106205ccbeac929.JPG

The other main ride here was the tower shot

But you do get a couple of pops of airtime

446965704_DSC08114(Small).JPG.a40a7b75d59f28aaacc5cd443df7b53d.JPG

Its quite rough

722126370_DSC08112(Small).JPG.e285da201e95a3213a046591c6ec0078.JPG

The ride itself is not bad

83000598_DSC08109(Small).JPG.495e2a41fe5be8a40e4994e1e15e40aa.JPG

The moment of impact is not much fun

1307198685_DSC08121(Small).JPG.43ea7c4c43df35d954eedf00adbc0a02.JPG

That hits this part of the car

1977513595_DSC08102(Small).JPG.c9c7ff31db9d3c1b909b2c553d582758.JPG

It has one of those rotating things.

282532030_DSC08099(Small).JPG.f9c5a9b157c98e8ba38d2356e8569bef.JPG

Slalom is very rough. and has a strange lift hill

OK here we go.

This is the infamouse launched coaster at Pattaya Park Funny Land. As far as I know it has never operated. It used a compressed air powered cable launch system. The seats have been removed as have several air tanks and a strange plunger device on the back.

 

I knew this coaster was in a closed section of the park so I did not think I would be able to get very close. As it happened I was able to climb all over the track.

one last thank you to David for helping me represent.

1980654185_DSC08280(Small).JPG.ef4511a02e8aef84e83c051e2e2fdff8.JPG

If you look closely you can see the top of Pattaya Park Tower.

This was a bit of an unknown for me. I knew they had a shuttle loop and that was about it.

I also knew that they had recently bought 2 new coasters. Overall I thought this park was great. Unfortunately the was construction work everywhere.

Oh, and main street was a copy of disney's, well, sort of.

2088715570_DSC08379(Small).JPG.507aac8a5ff0889eb2672b47ed339597.JPG

The entry plaza looks really nice.

Just in case you didn't know what type of coaster it was.

251607827_DSC08407(Small).JPG.74a1d0db6302b73cb364e4be549d0a94.JPG

This park is quite strange. Bits are in need of repair, other bits are really nice and some bits are really well themed.

The main street area looked kind of nice, in a faded way

814581442_DSC08444(Small).JPG.bb26ec336ed047efdf7efd6b63dbbccd.JPG

on the other, market stalls.

What was the deal with that alternate way of leaving the tower? Was it basically a zipline from hell? That looked pretty insane, very freaky with teh person actually holding on, although I'd have to assume you were harnessed to the line. Still looked aweful steep with an abrupt ending.

wow... I never thought it was that easy to get close to the reverse freefaller! I wonder if it did have enough power to get the train to move...

 

Looks like good fun, although some parts come awfully close to trees... I've had bad experiences with rollercoasters and trees...

Oops, forgot to finish Siam park. Here are the rest of the photos. I was amazed during this whole trip how close I was able to get to many of the rides. I asked if I could walk onto the SLC construction site and they said yes.

thanks Dave for the photos.

 

As I wrote in my last update I can`t imagine what you liked about Siam Park City. I think this park has some tropical vegetation, but this is thailand.

Normally this park should close down for some months, because there`s to much construction going on at the moment.

I`m sorry that I also have no photo from the running loop coaster, but I was kind of lucky to ride this piece of s*** (me and my girl were the only people in the park who liked to ride this coaster).

 

But thanks for all the photos, you did a lot more photos than we did (after some 2000 from china we were a bit laid back in Thailand).

Hi,

My main problem is that I dont get to that many theme parks, living in the middle east, so I think I see parks as somewhat better than they really are.

 

Having seen the state of the Shuttle loop I am slightly glad it was closed.

lol

Is it just me or do most SLC's have the same layout

^Well that one doesn't!

 

Nice photos Dave. That Shuttle Loop has certinaly seen better days.

 

You are right. Its layout its layout is a bit different but it still has a clone. There is a SLC in China (also vekoma that uses that same layout.

 

The rolls after the sidewinder element go off a different way from the stnd. SLC. so the ending is different.

 

RCDB has photos of the china one.. But im to lazy to find it right now.
