FaithPlus1 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I love Scrambler Rides and always enjoy taking a ride on the Steam Trains!
DarienLaker Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Besides coasters I have a thing for Scramblers and Tilt-A-Whirls!
Jpizzle Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I love Spaceship Earth at EPCOT and the People Mover in Tomorrowland. Reridereridereride. . .
coasterbill Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Thunderhawk at Dorney has the potential to be the best ride in the park by far in my opinion. It's hard to imagine now but this ride can easily be great. The top of the first and second turnarounds create insane ejector air in the front car and the bunny hops would have nice floater without the trim. Unfortunately the ride is trimmed to death and has now become a rough piece of crap. It's sad but we almost never ride it anymore.
Coaster Curt Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Big swing rides I have to hit at least a couples times while in the park. Extreme Swing at VF and the one at Cedar are fantastic.
Jaykethekid Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm probably the only person who really likes wind seekers. I also really love the airtime filled timber wolf. On the first post of the thread, it said to go the other way to so I will do that. I didn't really enjoy I305
Nrthwnd Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I almost forgot about Mad Houses/Haunted Swings  This lovely little character house in Hanayashiki Park, Tokyo has a nifty little haunted swing inside it. Edited January 23, 2015 by Nrthwnd
TPRrickard Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm probably one of the few who really enjoyed Big Apple Coaster/Manhattan Express, lots of excitement!
coasterbill Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm probably the only person who really likes wind seekers  You're not alone... I love those things. We always ride them multiple times when we visit a park that has one.
BugEyed Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 They're not very manly, but I have a secret fondness for old school Zierer Wave Swingers. I enjoy them so much that I actually enjoy calliope music whilst riding them.
Schrecken Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I have a soft spot in my heart for the old fashioned swing rides, as I have fond memories of riding them as a child. And also, the swing was my best friend's favorite ride (she found coasters to be too scary for the most part, so she stuck to milder flat rides) and now I have this "tradition" of trying to ride the swing at every park that has one (unless of course the park is super-crowded and I need the time for coaster credits) in memory of her. I always ride the one at Hershey because that was her favorite one. Â I also like Himalaya-type flats (not sure of the exact model/make, but I like the kind where the seats are on a platform and not so much the ones with the swinging gondola type seats), as again I have fond memories of riding those as a kid at both carnivals and parks. Â Skyrides are also something I always want to do at any park that has one. There's nothing better than getting an overhead view of the park (and a bonus for the ones that will actually take you from one part of the park to another) and being able to take pictures.
cfc Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I almost forgot about Mad Houses/Haunted Swings   The one at Dutch Wonderland, which seems "homemade," is fun, too.
Nrthwnd Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 ^ Yes, I would love to get to that one, one of these years! Such an easy idea. We need more of these. (Photo by Joel Styer)
larrygator Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I almost forgot about Mad Houses/Haunted Swings   The one at Dutch Wonderland, which seems "homemade," is fun, too.   I was upset on my visit to Arnold's Park that their "Bug House" was not operating.

We always ride them multiple times when we visit a park that has one.  Agreed on this one ... It's absolutely beyond me as to why these things seem to be so hated by everyone, because to me they're totally awesome! (Even if they occasionally have some issues)
coreyb Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Arrow launched loops. It's not a huge drop, but they're the only ride I've been on that launches into a drop, which results in a lot of airtime as a percentage of the track length. First one I rode was the Python at Wild World (SFA) back in 1993 - the launch made the thing shake so much that you could fall over while waiting on the platform.
Generational Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Any form of Teacups. The G's that are exerted when you get those things really going make me laugh like an idiot. Absolutely love it. Same goes for a classic Tilt-A-Whirl.
rcoaster10 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Mean Streak. One time I was at the park alone and rode it 10 times
WillMontu Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 For me it's transportation tides - trains, skyrides/gondolas, monorails, Peoplemovers, etc. I will also do most dark rides at least once
