ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I would have to say my guilt pleasure ride is one of those old school rock-o-plane rides. my aunt owns a camp lot at a campground in Indiana. Its a Jellystone Park in Plymouth Indiana. Every memorial day weekend this mini redneck carnival is set up in the campground and that often have this very old rock-o-plane. its a lot of fun! depending on how you spin it,it can sometimes more intense then many modern flat rides! however the last time i went on it,it made me very very sick I have to agree with this. I went on the one at Arnolds Park in Okoboji, Iowa, and it's really intense. I don't really do flipping rides so I didn't try to flip it, but they're really fun! In many ways, it's kind of a miniature version of Mickey's Fun Wheel at Disney California Adventure (or its sister ride, Wonder Wheel at Coney Island). Very fun indeed!
Nrthwnd Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 ^ I miss it, too. Don't see it, or ride it enough. Â My childhood introduction to this ride, was at the Penticton (BC) Peach Festival Midway, circa..... 1962?
ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Cool! I didn't know Penciction had any rides. I work in the travel industry, so I know a bit about that area, as it's a rather popular destination. Maybe we can get Larson or someone to revive the Rock-o-Plane? They're really great.
Nrthwnd Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 ^ Well this was back in the 1960's, so I have absolutely no idea how their Peach Festival runs, nowadays. Â But Rock-O-Planes still do RAWK!!! Thanks to who took the photo!
djcoastermark Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 ^ Totally agree. Rock o Planes were my "I can't wait til I'm big enough to ride " bucket list as a kid. Still love them.
TheAmericanKnight Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Vekoma SLCs. Â Yes, I like them... (cringing as threat of hate approaches)
JonnyRCT3 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Flying Scooters are one of those rides that I just have to ride when I see one. I wouldn't mind waiting up-to 30 minutes for one.
cfc Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Vekoma SLCs. Yes, I like them... (cringing as threat of hate approaches)  Not "hate"--just sympathy, as you obviously need some sort of psychiatric counseling.  I admit to liking Kumali at Flamingoland in the UK, but I haven't ridden it since 2006.
viking86 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 ^I haven't been on a couple of the standard SLC's, but based on ride reviews I was under the impression that the later custom SLC's were somewhat decent rides.
michaellynn4 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Anything that has a crazy spin cycle. I love feeling dizzy and disoriented. Tropical Storm at PCC comes to mind first. Â

Â Kumali is a custom layout, and it isn't as "frantic" as other SLCs. But I've yet to ride one since that I thought was worthwhile. I haven't experienced one with the newer trains, though.
larrygator Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Anything that has a crazy spin cycle. I love feeling dizzy and disoriented. Tropical Storm at PCC comes to mind first. Â The most intense flat ride at a US amusement park.
flaffstar Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I love everything that has a great intensity with a long monotonous ride sequence where a lot of others would start feeling sick quite fast. This Flat Ride (90s Tivoli Orbiter) for example was on my local fair this year and I absolutely loved it because of its consistent intensity; just so relaxing. It never really slowed down and I was pushed into the seat nearly the whole ride sequence.
boldikus Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I'm still going with Skull Mountain but also  - Mine trains. Love them. and - "IT" @ Morey's. Best frisbee ride EVER.
scottiemon Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 DL: Jungle Cruise...same corny jokes, same good times DCA: Mater's Junkyard Jamboree (I liked Luigis flying tires too!) CGA: Tiki Twirl...I was suprised how much fun this ride is SFMM: Gold Rusher (I am not counting Scream, becuase I think if it was not on a parking lot, this ride would get much more love..or at least a little love?) KBF: La Revolucion..one of only a few spinning ride that does not make me queasy SCBB: Wipeout. ^^See above^^ Â All parks....swinging pirate ships and swing rides. 51 years old, and still a kid!
flagrockerthegreat Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 I like Green Lantern at SFMM more than most. And I'm another who will ride a log flume in any weather, even by myself if need be. If there was a TPR "Log Flumes in the RAW" DVD I would totally buy it! Â Were Going on a log flume, goin on a log flume.

TheCoasterKid211 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 "IT" @ Morey's. Best frisbee ride EVER. Isn't that the one with only lap bars? Yeah, NO THANK YOU.
boldikus Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 ^ Yes! It's what makes it so good. Well, that and the batsh*t insane program they run on it.

DILinator Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 There are a number of rides that would probably fit this bill, but the one that immediately comes to mind is Adventure Express at Kings Island. I enjoy that coaster WAY more than I probably should (especially at night!)
carolinaman Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I love the Flyers (Woodstock Gliders) at Carowinds. It's great that they encourage snapping.
