slick Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 My all time favorite ride i've been on is 'The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man'! (Universal Islands of Adventure) Whats yours? GoEoNe Do women count as rides? ... Oh, haha, right, "theme park" rides. In that case, in terms of general experience, I'd be looking at either Star Tours at Disneyland or Wild West Falls at Warner Bros. Movie World, Australia.

larrygator Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I can't decide Flyers at Knoebels Waltzer at Blackpool South Pier Valhalla at Blackpool Adventures of Spiderman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USRoadTripper Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 The first two rides that come to mind are Dr. Doom's Fearfall and any Chance Chaos. Runners up would be Pirates of the Caribbean, Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges and the Compounce Mountain Sky Ride. -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verticalzero Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 A Waltzer is the next best thing to a coaster. I would love to work on one and spin it really fast, the people would get very dizzy. I would have lots of lights and some fog / bubble machines, a laser with mirrors everywhere for when the dask/evening arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worm Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I'd have to say 'Wave Rider' Its a speed boat that takes sharp turns and jumps wave whilst going around 170km/h! It really is a thrill with more airtime than any coaste i have yet to ride... here is a pic I took... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 1. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man 2. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye 4. The Timber Mountain Log Ride 5. Men In Black: Alien Attack Hmmm...all dark rides (by my wide definition). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 1) Huss Trioka. Relaxing, but incredibly fun. The airtime and the swinging of the cars is just great. 2) Schwarzkopf Enterprise. A totally crazy ride, when run properly. Going upside down with no restraint is an amazing feeling, and the swinging of the cars is also very fun. 3) Huss Frisbee Family/Moser Versions- When run with a good cycle, these rides are truly insane and totally fun. I really like the cycle on Revolution at SFGAm (currently down), with the "super-crazy spin cycle" towards the end of the ride- crazy. The inverted, outside facing versions are also good, because of the upside-down/airtime sensation. 4) Chance Falling Star. When run to its potential, this ride kicks some serious butt. Airtime city, the crush your neighbor. Rinse and repeat. Totally insane and totally great. 5) Other rides that I love: - Spiderman - Men in Black - Spaceship Earth - Test Track - Mission: Space - Dinosaur/Countdown to Extinction - Wild Artic simulator at Sea World Orlando. One of the most advanced of its kind, and very realistic. - ET Adventure!! One of my favorites, just for the nostalgic value. When everything is working, it is very cool. And who doesn't love creepy scientists from NASA, the ET song, and the ET ride smell? - Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw Falls - Splash Mountain - Popeye's Bilge Rat Barges - Jurassic Park River Adventure. Also one of my favorites, when everthing is working. One of my favorite attraction moments of all time. "Welcome to Jurassic Park"- Cue JP theme, open doors. Totally amazing.

Calaway Park Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Im actually really starting to like Huss Top Spins. I rode the one at SFDL last week and its program blew. I'm hoping to find somewhere with a longer and better program and I also dig Intamin 2nd Generation Drop Towers. The one at Galaxyland is NUTS. It does a wave motion in the middle of the ride. But it is a normal topspin at the beginning and end. Anyway.... Chance Zipper. Nothing else.. just Chance. The other manufacturers Zipper's are no where near as crazy as chance's. S&S Double Shot drop rides. Dartron Zendar/Zero Gravity Dartron Downdraft... Much less painful than Hurricane. Wisdom, Gravitron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumboshrmp Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman Its actually better than any roller coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Dark rides. Disney, Walk-Thru, Travelling, Sally, any of 'em! I always try to get my dark ride credits, sometimes losing a coaster credit in the process! Some of my favorites so far are: Tower of Terror (I consider it a dark ride), Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones, Calico Mine Ride, Adventurer's Club, Scooby Doo's Haunted House, Haunted Shack (at our local Burn's Park Funland), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConleyKE Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I would have to say all S&S Towers, especially the Power Tower at CP. I'm not a huge fan of Intamin drop rides (at least the one at SFKK since I was stuck at the top for 15 minutes once). I am going to Cedar Point again this July and I am excited to ride Maxair and Skyhawk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebastienstuff Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 not really a ride, more a show, but totally breathtaking and very impressive even if you like Fire (don't know how different in feeling to Backdraft in California) ... but for those who rode Spiderman ... when the flamethrower is in action .. imagine that for 10mns and hotter ... feels like 150°F sometimes on your face it's in Spain, at Port Aventura (formerly Universal Studios park) http://www.umwebsite.com/descargas/templodelfuego.zip a video of the show starts in a room with a flat dome ... where it changes from the bright sky to thundering dark sky with spirits. then after a while, you go into the temple room ... where you will experience a furnace.

bigstevet07 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 If you want to be abused during the ride, Dinosaur at DAK. I think my wife might of had a slight case of whiplash on that thing. Hand down though the best non coaster ride is Tower of Terror at WDW. Rode it 5 times in one day, and all 5 programs were different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapseofreason Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I would have to say one of two flats: either Ring of Fire (I don't know why, I love that thing) or Inverter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J man Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'd have to say The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean @ DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
