I'm a Dutch enthusiast that knows all of these terms, but this made me realize how incredibly complex and alien-like coaster talk sounds to the GP.
@beyblade71 2 жыл бұрын
One term you forgot was Walk On. Whenever a ride has virtually no line we would call it a Walk On since you literally just “Walk on” to the loading platform and ride immediately.

At the time I thought trim brakes were self-explanatory. But yeah some parks like to find a better way than saying “standing but not operating” lol

Great video on coaster terms and slang, in fact, I have a slang term called W.O.S. which stands of Walk of Shame and it means - a rider who is either too short or too large to ride a ride and must exit the attention in shame/disappointment. and believe me, I've seen it happen at my home park and it's just sad that people have to take the W.O.S. off any ride

Things you didnt mention: TLC Defunct Walk-on Trims or trim brakes Stacking Estop Hang and bang Clamshell (lap bar) OTSLB (over the shoulder lap bar like on vekoma new gens and mack multi launches) also Here are some GP terms: shoulder/head bar (otsr) loops (when talking about cobra rolls, dive loops, rolls, corkscrews, etc) leg bar (lap bar) carriage (train) rollercoaster (when talking about flat rides) "loops with only a leg bar is not safe!" great vid as always!

What I should’ve said in the video is that some terms are also covered in a video titled “Roller Coasters For Beginners” which is just an introduction to roller coasters. I briefly explained all of the forces in that video. Cloned coasters was even mentioned. That was a missed opportunity 🤦♂️

Ah, so its THESE types of videos that cause guests to come up to me and ask me specifically not to staple them. I'll be sure to thank you for that if I ever see you. ;p All in all though, still an awesome video. Now if only we had videos of teaching people how to properly go on a ride and not try to purposefully leave 5-8 inches of space between them and the lap bar to try and get more air time..
@808CoasterLife 4 жыл бұрын
You’re welcome for this 😉 I think most enthusiasts are fine with not having enough room as long as they’re not in pain because of how tight the restraint is on them. But I think the ride itself can also contribute to stapling and not just before you ride. Thanks for watching!

I wish there were videos like this when I was starting out, too, but when I was starting out, there weren’t really cellphones, hardly anyone had them as they were just starting out, much less smart phones or ones that have cameras and record videos lol. There also was barely a thing called internet, it was just really slow dialup internet when it started. Also, the only recording devices were the old camcorders that consisted of a gigantic video recorder that you sat up on your shoulder and looked through a lens, that recorded on VHS tapes! All of that being said, thank you technology and I feel much older than I am!!😳😂

I used the fusion tab to make a text and transform node. I keyframed the size from 0 to full-sized. I saved that as a “macro” which is basically a template for fusion compositions. After putting the template where I want, I put an adjustment clip under the text template to adjust the blur depending on what’s going on. This may sound complicated but there’s a lot of KZfaq videos explaining how the fusion tab works. I’m glad to see more people using Resolve!!

Question: what do "whip" "snap(py)" and "zip" mean? Also, does Lrot/frod apply to the actual first/last train dispatched or your personal first/last ride of the day? Thanks so much for this video, I am very new to the scene with approx. 8 credits so far 😅. While I had figured out most of the terms from context already, I was surprised to hear that "forceful" only includes positives...
@808CoasterLife 9 ай бұрын
I’ve never heard of “zip” being used but whip and snap basically mean the same thing. When a coaster quickly changes banking (roll), that moment would be whippy. I consider lrot/frot to be personal first/last since it’s hard to get on the exact first or last train of the day. Someone else will probably correct me if I’m wrong. I’m glad this video helps!

Great video! Can you please describe the terms, “Immelmann, cobra roll,”
@808CoasterLife 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! An Immelmann is an inversion where you do a half loop going up but twist the other direction. On Valravn, Griffon, and Sheikra, an Immelman is the first inversion that follows the big first drop. A cobra roll is a double inversion which looks like a cobra from some angles. Boomerang roller coasters have cobra rolls as one of their signature elements.

@808CoasterLife 10 ай бұрын
A top hat is a steep and tall hill where trains usually go through at a slow speed. They’re typically the highest points on launch coasters.
@GoudLoodje 9 ай бұрын
A top hat is usually an element right after a launch, that most of the time is an airtime hill on which both the ascent and descent are vertical. There’s also a couple of variations of the top hat, such as the inverted top hat, which is a top hat that doubles as an inversion (any element that goes upside down)
