Great video. This is my home park, I always heard that the owner’s wife wanted the ride removed after the incident, I’ve seen a few newspaper articles about the accident, but I never saw anything about aftermath or investigations. I also always heard that the man who passed, got up to calm his hysteric sister (or something like that), after the train started valleying on the bridge, but him standing up to see if another train was coming, seems much more likely, I never thought about that scenario, but it makes way more sense. I believe the only surviving picture (that is known) of the ride is that one picture of it going over peninsula drive. Very well researched video!

See, as i watch these, it somehow makes me want to ride this coaster even more now lol

Basically every summer me and the family and my cousins go to Waldamer but before our trip I looked up what happened to ravine flyer 1. To my surprise Somone died on the ride. But I still went in ravine flyer 2 hehe

Excellent historical review of one of eries best legends

Really good video guys

The voiceover refers to this ride as "smooth." I regret to say that is no longer the case. I rode it last Friday (7/23/21), and it was disappointingly rough. I've been riding woodies for over 50 years, so I know whereof I speak. It's too bad, as it has a great track layout.

I rode it once with my dad and both of us said that it was rough. I didn't like it at all...

Mom always told me about “the accident” seeing we lived there.

The word smooth and ravine flyer don’t go in the same sentence 💀

To me it just makes more sense to have a hill over the road like an actual bridge rather tgan a dip

The original Ravine Flyer was built before the road was put in. The bridge was somewhat hastily designed and even today would be a near impossible engineering challenge but was an inadequate structure.

It felt quite smooth to me. Well, as smooth as any wooden coaster can be. 🤷‍♂️

It's for every roller coaster you ride. An it only counts if it's not a duplicate.

It’s a wood coaster, not a “hybrid.” Great video, though.

@@johnd5931 A roller coaster being wood or steel depends on the makeup of the track bedding. A roller coaster with steel track is steel. A wood coaster has wood track bed, usually layered, with steel railing for the wheels.
