that ride looks like the ride experience would be insane

I'm from Hungary and I've been on this ride multiple times. The ride experience was fun, I can confirm. At that time it seemed like a normal, mass produced ride. It's very surprising to learn that this was a rare and one of a kind ride and I'm shocked but not surprised that it was butchered by my fellow countrymen. The park closue hit really hard for me. We had the same type of Soviet ferris wheel as in Pripyat (Chernobyl). After the close they crushed it and sold the ride as scrap metal even tho it was working perfectly fine. The park also had a vintage, 105 years old coaster/raliway-type themed ride. which was under monument protection. Well, the government removed the monument protection and destroyed it. Nowadays the park is a wasteland, they burned $260.000.000 to build a huge biodome which was supposed to be a Zoo but it's empty and unecomomical to operate. The park was demolished with its rare, historical rides and trees to build that biodome because our government wanted to steal money. It's so frustrating, everyone loved the park.

The first time I saw this ride on YT, my mind was absolutely blown! Rides like this usually only appear in my nightmares ... I am *not* making this up (I have many strange dreams involving flatrides, for whatever reason). I've never left the U.S., and unless the Chinese manufacturers ever branch out (I won't hold my breath), I doubt I'll ever actually experience this. And that saddens me.

Awesome video👍 I actually saw the original one as a kid at Oktoberfest Munich (probably 2007). I was so blown away by looking at it, but unfortunately it didn't run that day due to technical issues :(

OMG!! Get the bucket and the mop!! Looks crazy insane awesome, and is very pretty with the lights on this ride.

I really want to see more of what this designer planned but didn't get built. His ride designs are so surreal especially for his two travelling rides.

Thanks for this upload! I once specifically visited Northern Germany just to see the Barth Flying Circus operating. I did not go on it myself. But even then it was an amazing experience. Its such a unique ride and a waste its no longer operating in Europe. However it should be noted that when you saw it operating it never had a lot of riders on it.

THIS is the ride design that I got on at our county fair in 2007. It was called, “The Magic Arms”. It’s the only ride that I could not open my eyes on, and I refused to get on again, and so did the friend I had ridden it with (his wife wouldn’t ride it, and she and I were friends and worked together, so I said I’d ride it). I didn’t think it could possibly be worse than some others I’d ridden. Yeah, I was wrong! This particular ride was a copy of the original Dutch designed, “Flying Circus”, which has been discontinued. That carnival never brought it back, so I assumed it was more problematic than we thought.

It looks cool! These kind of rides that just holds you upside down for a few seconds usually scares me, but I would ride it for the credit

I've been waiting all day for this video to drop, thank you can't wait to watch it

Here's my current wishlist for future FROTW videos (unchanged from last week): Matterhorn / Flying Bobs & Trabant / Hully Gully - these were mentioned in a previous video, and I look forward to seeing them. . Rainbow / 1001 Nacht Paratrooper Orbiter Miami . [old-school and/or unique] 'Cuddle-Up' (basically an 'n'th-degree teacup ride) ... I'll never forget the in-the-dark "Iceberg" at Dorney Park Boomerang ... I remember seeing this at Casino Pier a LONG time ago, when I was too young for such things 'Sidewheeler' (or maybe 'Sidewinder') ... looking a bit like the inner workings of a watch, this one-of-a-kind SFGA installation was something to see

I remember watching this thing as a little kid on the fair in Weert. The video's honestly don't do justice to how insane this thing looks in real life, especially when it's fully upside down and rotating.

Usually Chinese knockoffs piss me off but honestly, I’d rather them give new life to this ride than let it go extinct.

I love amusement parks and rides and I love this series! This one looks really fun. I don't know if you are reading this message but I have a suggestion for a future video: the Hurricane ride. I rode one when I was like 12 years old and it is the only ride to this day that I swore I would never ride again. I genuinely thought I was going to die. I would love to know more about it even though I will not ride it ever again.

That would be awesome to ride. Guess I'm stuck with the less wild version of Freak Out

Definitely a bucket list item for me to ride in Europe one day

Would definitely be worth the stomach ache! Nice work guys!

Dam I wish I would be able to right that ride. It looks awesome 😎

I used to frequent a forum called UK Rides, and the Flying Circus (the main one in this video) was discussed many times. None of us got the chance to ride it but could only just dream of going on it. It seems like it did get about though, so thanks for the year numbers. I never realised that China had these too, and in multiple numbers, so that was news to me!

Taunus Wunderland is my home park! Sad, they haven't got it. But they're currently expanding and they will maybe get Olympia Looping for some time. Edit: Cool video, i'd love to ride it

Omg a clip from Hershey Park, lol an oldie.

Damn, I visited Budapest back then... wish I'd known about it as it looks really wild! 🙃 Glad to see the ride type is still in production in China, especially since there was only one original built decades ago. Among other reasons, I suspect that western parks haven't bought any because Chinese companies tend to build the restraints small (as you can see in the footage)... it's endless frustrating for my Asian ride-enthusiast friends who are over 5 foot 10!

I live in hong kong and might travel to ride one of these, if I do I'll tell you about my experience!

thank u for doing the baton twiling ride

That looks pretty fun

I used to ride the Flying Circus once in 1998 in Germany. The ride experience was: MEH! The ride looked fantastic in appearance and decoration, but it wasn´t very successful. As soon as the ride started to move, spectators were amazed by the geometric contortions, but you´d hear people left and right claiming: "I´d never go on that". The ride was themed like a family ride, appeared like a total vomatron and rode like a slowly rotating office-chair with added hangtime. As soon as you were on the ride all the rotations were painfully slow and you´d be hanging in your bulky restraints for most of the time. So if you like hangtime to a ridiculous extreme and not much more, this ride was for you. There was only one great moment with some disorienting velocity and positive Gs: When the rotation of the arms combined at the highest point, but it happened only once and then it was back to slow, unharmonic meandering. I´ve never seen the ride run at capacity.

I think it's time you do an episode on the infamous, banned in 8 countries, ridiculously dangerous and completely hilarious flat ride that's only found in the sketchiest of third world countries - the Tagada

Best vid yet! Keep it up bois! 👍

they should have called it the Vomit Comet

I'm lucky to live in Budapest and could ride it several times. This was that kind of upside down rides that a lot of non-thrill-seeker could enjoy, too - like my girlfriend and my brothers who said before he'd never ride any upside down ride. I wonder if there really isn't any of this kind in operation in Europe?

Looked insane!

Nice looking ride.

Comment for the algorithm Love this content guys ❤

I did ride it in the Netherlands it was intense

They should have the European rides in the united States or Canada too, Americans and Canadians should ride those rides

China is so well known for lacking safety in work places, buildings, and public spaces, that the idea of a theme park there is honestly frightening.

Can you do the superflip(I’m not sure the actual name, but they had one at funland rehoboth)

now do meisure aka (girolight)

0:09 what is that ride that goes on a track

Thril seekers: pleaseeee get me ofd ahhhhhh pls pls pls stop this 💀💀💀💀💀☠☠☠☠💀

these look like hangtime machines

Don't know how I feel about this ride. I'm sure I would've ridden when I was younger, but nowadays, I'm way more sensitive to spinning. 🤮

in what park was it rumored to be in something wunderland can i get a full name

Rocket Monkeys

we have a big luna park and we have rainbow maybe we will sell rainbow and buy circus you can type on yt "Rainbow huss Bihler"
