onride.de presents: Extrem TOP-Spinning

[RCoasterny]

I don't think everyone realizes this, but this is not a full size Top Spin. Yes, it's a Huss Top Spin, but the smaller version, the Top Spin Junior. This one has a capacity of 28 people, not the normal 40 people capacity the standard Top Spin has. To make a full size Top Spin flip that many times would require exact timing of the arm movement, and probably cannot do the flips as easily as the Junior model would.

 

The reason the Junior model can do the flips easily is because it is much more lighter and can do the flip without the brakes, where the full size and the Giant sized model would need the brake to position the gondola in the right position to do a flip.

That was very impressive! Thanks for sharing!

Yea...I had a pretty crazy ride that was like 3 full cycles and I handled it very well but man, the G Forces were pretty extreme. Once in a lifetime ride. Hope everyone who rode can still remember it!!

I counted 108 and the second video backs me up on that. But honestly that is nuts and I would probably love it. I think the most I've gone upside down in a day is 120 times, and that was after spending an entire day in the Adventuredome in Vegas. One ride on this thing and I would get damn near beating that. Thanks for sharing!

Can the ride ops for Voodoo at SFDK take this video into consideration!?

[haiderodes]

The best this is that they all are clapping after the ride I thought that at least 1 was vomiting - but no!

 

I agree the clapping was awesome!

 

That thing had so much speed through the majority of the flips. That takes a pretty talented operator to pull something like that off. 107 flips in about 3 minutes...I wonder if there's a record on the books.

 

I love flat rides to death, but I don't think I could handle that.

I have a feeling they run a pre-programmed cycle. When I was there back in June, I sat in a nice shady spot and watched a few cycles and they were all pretty close to the same. I didn't see the operators pressing any buttons or joysticks after the cycle started.

LMAO I'm I the only one who finds this video funny?

 

I mean c'mon just look how that thing flips, it's insane!

 

Kudos to those who rode it. That's really an accomplishment. I don't think I could do it.

[matteocrepaldi]

That's creazy!!!

I don't ride Top Spins and I don't like flat rides that flips you upside down.

 

The only Top Spin I really wanted to ride was closed when I got there to ride it!

[sam06pr]

*throws up* WTF??? people can survive that? I would of been crawling vomiting everywhere and at the hospital.

[CoasterEricHP]

I can't even watch the whole video without wanting to vomit all over the place..

[rcoasters]

I don't know if I could handle that, but it looks like something I'd like to try once in a lifetime.

[coasterbilly]

haha i agree with everyone else, freakin insane but not for me, just way too intense and fast! I would try it once to see how i feel but geez, no body got off sick!

[Scaparri]

That's just unbelievable. I love the pic of the crew with the operator. I don't my stomach would have survived that though.

 

I can't imagine that being very good for the ride though. I wouldn't think they are made to withstand such long periods of continuous, high stress. Who knows though.

Our county fair is in town this week. I just rode Top Spin the other night and I really enjoy that ride. The most I have been able to tolerate in a row is three cycles and then I was done. Over a 100 flips...I'd be dead.

[FLIPDUDE]

I just noticed this video made front page on Youtube

[CHILLERLC1]

I would say I would like to try it. I can handle the most extreme Top Spin but can I take it so consecutively? The ride has to smell of warm grease after that.
