[HeijoshinCool]

If a Thai company built a roller-coaster in Bangkok, would you go for a ride?

[bkkjames]

ever been to Dream World?

Do you know for a fact who engineered and built the roller coaster?

[mrtoad]

I love Roller Coasters, but would have some concern even if it was built by a reputed company outside of Thailand, as maintenance is normally the bigger issue.

No, but I would send my wife.................just to check.

[Costas2008]

Yeh, been there twice.

Costed me a fortune for the kids to enjoy the rides, as for me wouldn't even dare to look at the bloody things going around.

Wouldn't dare to go on them.

I am actually still amazed that Thailand managed to be ahead of other neighbouring countires in several aspect like roads, transports, and etc.

how about Siam Park City been there?

+1 Totally agree with you.

 

 

 

I'd send your wife just to check also.

I looked at some photos of the RC at your Dreamworld. (#1 photo)

 

I'm guessing they call it Dreamworld because you can fall asleep on their roller coaster.

 

 

When I say roller coaster, the last photos are what I'm talking about.

Nope.

 

Still waiting' for 'ya to answer the actual question:

 

If a Thai company built a roller-coaster in Bangkok, would you go for a ride?

[bkkjames]

Will this do?

[HeijoshinCool]

Will this do?

Do what?

I lived in Orlando for many years with the roller coaster at Universal Studios Orlando right in the neighborhood and I never rode it. When someone once asked me if that was because I was afraid of heights I said: I'm not sure -- but I have a pilot's license.

[bkkjames]

I ride the biggest roller coaster every day as do many others - Thai built. The roads.

 

To answer you question more directly - as it appears it was gleaned out of an attempt to shoot down the locals. Yes I would ride a roller coaster here. I wouldn't however, be the first. And hopfully not the last. ;)

You wouldnt go yourself but you would PAY to send children on them! ...amazing, people astound me at times.

What do you mean by "a fortune"?

Is that the one where someone died on the coaster?? I went there, ride still closed years  later!!

Many years ago i put my daughter life at risk, by taking her to some crazy spinning wheel at some famous amusement park in my homecountry..

( the automatic-controlled safety belt was not working, and the device was nearly starting to spin )

I am almost sure my heart stopped for a few seconds...

You can guess what i think about those amusement parks..

Well, that would never happen here.

 

Thais don't wear their safety belts.

Of course i would any body can build cars on an assembly line not rocket science ,but design and quality control are done under close watch or supervision by people from the head office all said companys are only there for cheap labour not their technical skills.

The question was would you have faith in a Thai company that built a roller coaster - my point is of course I would, after all Thai companies are quite capable of building all of the above vehicles, building the internals of my smart phone, performing corrective eye surgery, drilling for, refining and producing oil products. I am quite sure the OP did not mean Somchai and Sombat - AKA farmers with hammers being let loose to construct some type of redneck fairground construction willy nilly. Or maybe it was just a veiled attack on Thais and Thai companies.......

it would be built with shoddy materials ,you may remember that big wheel contraption at the night market on rama 4

Again as in your second post al things are done under supervision by people from the head office or by people Thais who studied abroad,if such a construction would be designed and built by a Thai company it would be done by sombat and somchai with hammers.

Why is it if somebody has an opinion they are slagging of Thais?

Something as simple as hooking up an atm machine got a little girl in coma and a condo collapsed a few days ago because their so called engineer doesn't understand the simple basic rules of structural engineering but instead applied thainess resulting in many deaths and i can give you more examples if you want but the list would be endless.

I could bombard you with engineering catastrophes all over the world with absolutely no relation to Thailand, I guess it would not change your blinkered view that if it is Thai it must be substandard, I am not going to argue with you, I am merely pointing out that just because it is Thai engineered and produced it does not mean that it is automatically sub standard as you seem to automatically assume. .
