Wishmaster Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 ^ Yes, German carnies always run their rides at maximum power. Even the Schwarzkopf Polyps in Germany have airtime ^^ He keeps moving the arms up and down. Every time the gondola comes down, the arms pull it up hard enough to flip it over once more.

Olov Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I've ridden a Top Spin 2 here in sweden and got around 40 flips in one ride. It was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollerdude Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thats pretty sick looking. I thought the one at Dorney Park flipped a lot too! Did anybody else notice all the lights? That would be sweet to have that many lights on the rides here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantRevenge Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 No fair the one in Gadv only flips like once. Thats insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Whoa! That's crazy! The one at SFDK flips like twice and then it's over lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycloneMan Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 We do that to our Top Spin 2, Breakdance and our now defunct Power Surge here in Astroland (Coney Island). -Dainan "I love watching people on Top Spin while I work" Rafferty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 WOW, that looks amazing! I love top spins, but all the ones I've been on had really short cycles and weren't intense at all... I would LOVE that version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axman Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Now, why can't the U.S. have something like that? I love Top Spins, but this would probably make me hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath513 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The one at SFDK flips like twice and then it's over lol Oh I know, Voodoo is SOOO boring. D*mn US safety restrictions tone down rides. Not a top spin, but this also resulted in Thriller being toned down from it's out of control original version to the crap formerly known as Zonga at SFDK.

Hurricane Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Even though that cycle is VERY Impressive, it can't beat a Vekoma Waikiki Wave (provided it's ran properly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 That top spin cycle was brutal, I had been on a pretty sick cycle at the new York state Fair on Strate's Shows top spin but damnnnn that's just wrong! ^ That ride is a Hi-Roller, I rode one at the Brockton Fair and it was pretty good... not as intense as it looks though!

jamesissoocool Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 it looked intense but i dont know cause i haven't been on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCoasterny Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 The reason why it can spin that much is because it's a Top Spin 2, or known as a Top Spin "Junior". It's a smaller version of the standard Top Spin and doesn't use the water boxes to weigh down the ride that the standard Top Spin has. I believe this version only holds 28 people while the standard holds 40 people. It's more lightweight, and that's why it is more agile than the standard Top Spin. It can execute flips more easily and keep flipping without much movement on the arms. I remember watching a movie clip of a Top Spin in action and marveled at how easily it could flip without much effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDumbFairy Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I think the one shown only seats twenty four; i tried counting the seats with the video paused. I was gonna say I've got a bit of experience with them things, and that is very fricken impressive. I like it alot! I dont think many people can handle that kinda ride though. That and getting insurane to cover a ride like that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Your not insane or anything if you ride one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossa Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I rode that Top Spin at Hannover fair, it always stays there at Frühlingsfest and Oktoberfest. I really love to watch it, but hate riding it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianojohn Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I think I got a headache just watching it flip! Although, I do love Tomb Raider at PKD with the fire and water effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenox Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 HOLY COW!!! Thats freakin' awesome! I love Huss rides, and as far as riding top spins, there the best, I mean especially the feeling of those flips. Unfortunately the one in Linnanmäki only does around 6 per ride, thats why I normally ride 15 times or so while in the park, with the lines as short as they were on sunday, I mean pretty much no line at all... That top spin would be heaven for me, and I'm not kidding either! I gotta get myself to oktoberfest someday. =D P.S. The top spin is probably the 2nd best ride in the park, after Vuoristorata, the crazy scenic railway with ejector airtime and a brakeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
