Password121 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Giant Frisbees are fantastic rides. A huge upgrade for a quiet section of the park. Interesting they chose the same name as Kings Island's version. How does this model compare to Cedar Point's in terms of size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyRush Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Forgive me as I'm not too familiar with these rides, but is this basically a clone of MaXair? If so thats awesome cause that ride was a pleasant surprise and kicked A$$. Indeed it is!!! So pumped wow. This along with a probable coaster coming in 2017, KD is gonna need another revisit from me!

I'm sure the difference won't be noticeable at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm not a flat-ride person, but this makes sense--perfect for the old Shockwave space, and it'll go well with Candy Apple Grove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrlittle Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 One of my favorite flat rides. I would assume it will be the same model KI has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Awesome! I've never been on these Giant Frisbee's but they look like fun rides. I definitely need to get a season pass for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I haven't tried the HUSS version, but the Zamperla Giant Frisbee at Tusenfryd is a great ride, and I assume the ride experience is pretty much identical. Really a great ride! I'm also not much of a flat ride person, but I love the giant frisbees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intimidator305 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm thrilled with this new addition. Honestly, I wouldn't want anything else for Shockwave's site unless it were a larger coaster expanding outside the site's boundaries, but we all knew that wasn't coming. I really enjoy MaXair at CP and Delirium at KI and think this will be a very popular ride at the park. It honestly fills that last void in KD's flat ride collection. Â Also, the bright colors will go great in Candy Apple Grove and since we know Bad Apple is getting repainted for 2016, hopefully Drop Tower finally gets some paint too. There are many other changes in Candy Apple Grove happening next season that weren't announced including renovations to Country Kitchen, Dinner Bell, new dining patios, a proposed building where Shockwave's lift and drop were, and more minor changes. Â I might be biased, but I think Kings Dominion is in the lead for best 2016 Cedar Fair announcement so far with Wonderland not too far behind. I'm excited to see what the other parks announce soon!

DJeXeL Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Flat rides are always a great addition. This looks to be the Mondial revolution. Â Mondial to CF: "Sorry about the Windseekers, here's a free Revolution for your troubles." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Hero Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 ^ Is that the term now for going into a restricted area? Â Anyway, this is a great addition for KD, and is a fantastic fit in the area. These are one of my favorite flats, and I'm glad another one is being built at KD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asian Fruitation Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Flat rides are always a great addition. This looks to be the Mondial revolution. Â Mondial to CF: "Sorry about the Windseekers, here's a free Revolution for your troubles." Â Â Judging by the 40 seat capacity and the lower height, I think you're right. However, even if most still prefer the Giant Frisbee, the Revolution is still pretty forceful and this should be a pretty good addition to the park.

coasterkid124 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Wow, I wasn't expecting this but it will be a great addition for sure. Seems as though the industry still has a bit of a rift with Huss, but Mondial has produced one of these for Wonderland before, and it was a lot of fun.

mhuffva Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Flat rides are always a great addition. This looks to be the Mondial revolution.  Mondial to CF: "Sorry about the Windseekers, here's a free Revolution for your troubles."  There are 3 ride manufacturers that currently make this type of pendulum swing ride with a 40 passenger gondola.  Huss: Giant Frisbee - 40 / 50 passenger models (Cedar Point & Kings Island have the 50 passenger models).  Zamperla: Giant Discovery - 40 passenger gondola  Mondial: Revolution - 40 passenger gondola model (Canada's Wonderland)  Does anyone know which manufacturer is providing the ride for Kings Dominion for 2016?

Â Does anyone know which manufacturer is providing the ride for Kings Dominion for 2016? The Frisbee XL is just a little bit larger and swings just a little bit higher than the Mondial one, 118 feet and 130 degrees at max swing. The Zamperla one goes even higher, 147 feet. Â I'm pretty sure this one's going to be made by Mondial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
