"Parents have their kids locked up and swung around in metal birdcages."
If this hadn't been a video about theme park rides I would have assumed that to be some archaic form of punishment.

Can't be a Theme Park Crazy video without an Epilepsy Warning

[mvni]

i don't know if i'm skeptical or jusr brazilian, but i'd totally give them all a chance

[aibao.romodea]

I'm from Spain and I'm so used to seeing Alcatraz-esque rides on carnivals that I didn't realize they weren't common outside of Spain

[michaelkeehan]

That last ride looks like a kids ride you'd see in a Tim Burton movie or the Addams Family.

[spleeen]

I can't describe how awesome the Madhouse is. I rode one without any knowledge of what was going to happen. Most hilariously entertaining experience ever. I was pleasantly surprised to see it on this list.

[Bald_Fart]

I can't even begin to describe how long my day is when cleaning a Madhouse.

Ive seen and put Sophie on the Tweety Cages dozens of times. Never thought of it as a bizarre attraction. Its also been moved around, it used to be over where Speedy Gonzales is today

[jonathonfreeman]

The tweety escape is definitely an example where theming and immersion wins out over literal-minded thrill-number-crunchers. ... mainly because you have to view it from the kid's perspective.
- So you could either go on one of the other kid-rides at the park that are clones of other similar "go around the center post" rides with a looney toons mascot stapled on it (honestly not memorable ... maybe they had a taz devil ride with jeeps? can't remember)
OR
- you could hop in a bird cage in a ride called Tweety Bird's Escape, and pretend like Sylvester was gonna get you and you were escaping

In a literal-minded sense, yeah it's weird. From a kid's perspective - yeah of course the bird cage ride's a winner.

I LOVE THE TWEETY RIDE!! It was my absolute favorite ride as a kid!! I remember how excited I was when I was allowed to go in my own cage instead of sharing. Best day ever! Hahahaha

[CFootprints]

Villa Volta (the rotating room thing) at Efteling blew my mind when I was younger and got on it for the first time.

From the amazing backstory theme to the ride itself, I was in complete awe.

[Coolharry]

I got to experience Slammer twice. Glad i did before it went "extinct". It’s actually still SBNO.

[ilikerollercoasters]

The Topple Tower is my favorite flat ride of all time. I remember when I was young, I used to love Timber Tower at Dollywood. I was so sad when they removed it. I hate to see them lost to time. As with the Sky Swat. It probably was the most intimidating flat ride I've ever been on.

[crazysis]

The tweety bird cages was one of favorite rides growing up. You not only could sit or stand, you could swing from the cross bars inside the cages. I usually rode the cages upside down. I really wasn't expecting to see that. That brought back memories.

[Happymali]

Imagine being the ride-op at that digger-ride.
Spun in circles all day long with little peripheral vision.
He must get motion sick.

[charliebucket]

I love your bizarre amusement ride videos. Because I’m a little older, I remember riding some of these rides as a kid. Especially the Skydiver! One of my favorites! Keep up the good work buddy!

[nowthatsjustducky]

The Topple Tower looks pretty awesome, actually. As for the Rodeo, I doubt there are any amusement park / carnival operators in the U.S. that will take the risk on a ride where people actually fall off it.

[venangie]

I rode Alcatraz, the tagata and the rodeo attractions, veery popular in Spain, and also extremely fun! It seems that we spaniards love having attractions that are really dangerous lol

[bluegold]

The Madhouse is a fun experience. I've experienced them at Six Flags New England and Six Flags Great Adventure, both under the name "Houdini's Great Escape"

[diannatalmadge]

I rode a version of the mystery ride at 6 flags in Nj. It was called the Houdini attraction. One of the coolest rides I’ve ever been on.
