RctInfinity Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hi, guys! Tell me... what's the worst flat ride you've ridden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasters 4 ever Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 And this has to do with the title... how? I'd have to say the Scrambler at PKD. This isn't really the "worst" flat I've ridden, but it was definitely the least enjoyable. My brother was squishing me the whole time so I could barely breathe!

Guest Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I don't mind top spins but only with the water off. I will not ride one again until the turn the water off on King Kahuna at Kennywood. If I wanted to get wet, I would go on raging rapids or Log Jammer. LOL! Katie *edit* I hate wipe out's too....those things give serious bruises to the sides of your ribs.

CoasterFanatic Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 The flyers at Holiday World. If I didn't want to "Snap", I would ride the swings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Do Motion Simulators count? I think some of them are fairly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USRoadTripper Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I hate drop towers worse than anything. Wouldn't ride them unless the bribe was huge! Also hate anything with a pendulum motion (pirate ships, frisbees, ect...never ridden a sky coaster but I assume it falls into the category too). -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroger8 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I like most flat rides but id have to say that Gravitrons make my a little nautious but im fine right when they start slowing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Ferris wheels. all of them. Anything that goes that high and moves that slow must be evil. If they break, far too much time to think before impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I don't like those flat rides that swing you upside down and leave you stuck up there. One of those freaked me out so badly when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeistdude321 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 If you come down to terms of being afraid that you're going to die, it would be any carnival ride. Especially "Zipper". Those things scare the crap out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I agree with Flying Scooter. I hate ferris wheels and skyrides. I don't like rocking back and forth especially if I'm stopped up high. There isn't a coaster tall enough for me but hell no to ferris wheels and skilifts. As far as intensity, I 'd have to say Top Scan is the most intense ride I've ever been on. Strate's Top Spin is pretty high up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Super Loops! Its only a loose seatbelt and it goes upsidedown over and over and then stops in the loop. I was haging on for dear life. Super Loops are evil! :evildude: After that I ran right for Zipper. Kevin"Zipper rocks! 8) "Bujold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Ring of Fires and ferris wheels. Ring of Fires make me so sick, it's not even funny. I hate ferris wheels because I'm always afraid that they are going to snap off at the top and I would fall to my death. The only ferris wheel I can handle (this makes no sense) is the swinging carts on the Sun Wheel.

J man Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I pretty much ahte all the fair/ carnival rides under this category. Especially, as mentioned before, the Ferris Wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 The Tango is the only other ride I found to be more intense than a Top Scan. It's coming through my town next week at the brockton fair in mass. Check out this video from last year's fair. http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=22WP6GDK4MDYQ0M1LHBIOT5FDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Well, look-kee here! I was surfing the waves of long, lost, and almost forgotten post and came across one that should be brought out, dusted, polished up good and shiny, and presented once again. Yes, you can thank me late with your applesauce! One flat ride that comes to mind is the Skydiver. I HATE THE RESTRAINTS ON THOSE THINGS! IT CRUSHES MY CHEST LIKE A MEDIVIAL TORTURE DEVICE. Lakemont Park in Altoona, PA is the only park I know that has that ride ( It's been years since I've last been there, but if they removed that ride and put something else in its place that's more enjoyable for me to ride, then they will have all the applesauce I can give them). I'm not perfect; I just love to ride!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themonerd Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Any ride in the New England Patriots park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 This one. I am so glad I didn't ride it. in Victory Kingdom. TPR 2012 China Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The Tango is the only other ride I found to be more intense than a Top Scan. I think we can all agree that Tango is the most extreme and amazing flat ride ever conceived... But as far as the worst, that's easy. Gravitrons. F**k Gravitrons. I'm fully aware that you were not referring to Tango at Great Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 But as far as the worst, that's easy. Gravitrons. F**k Gravitrons. Absolutely, those things suck. This is the only flat ride I've ever hated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I personally think those Round-Ups suck, more than when they first came out. It used to be a real Vertical "almost midnight" ride at it's most intense. Then, they started "lowering" the angle bit by bit. I watch it now, and just shake my head. And Gravitrons just bore the heck out of me. At last summer's PNE. And it's at it's highest angle. Then, it went down. )o: Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Now, for one of The Most *GASP* Flat Rides Ever created, this is one even I myself, have never - been on! The ROTOR So you have nothing holding you to the wall. No OTSRs, or belts to keep you "in place." And then the fun begins, for you AND the next set of riders, who are watching you from above. I always thought it had the coolest queue ever, bringing the next group of rides up above it, so they can enjoy seeing others doing it, before they do it. Genius. How the original ROTOR looked. Perfection in a really intense flat ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
