nannerdw Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I get to ride the Rock-O-Plane every year during the Main Street Festival. When I go on a wristband night and there's not a big crowd, the carnies let me ride over and over without getting off! Last year, one of the carnies told me, "Watching you control the gondola on that ride was like an artform." I was like, "Ummmm, yeah. I, ummm, have to go now before this gets too carried away :shock: ."
Stitch Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 1: Troikas 2: Free Fall Towers (S&S or Intamin) 3: Viking Ships
ncf Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 1. Tilt, Gröna Lund, 80m tall Intamin floorless stand-up drop tower that tilts you at the top :shock: 8)  2. X-Scream, Stratosphere Tower, you probably know what it is...  3. Kieppi, Linnanmäki, I don't know what the model is called, but it's WILD!! and it's a Huss...  4. Slammer, Thorpe Park  5. Big Shot, Straosphere Tower
asimowalk Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I don't know why, but I just love the Mondial Revolution (basically a HUSS Giant Frisbee). It's probably 'cause it came before the HUSS Giant Frisbee, as people were naming it "the frisbee with seats facing outside". Â Yeah, so that and probably a tie between a Mondial Splashover and Top Scan. Both those rides have awesome potential but sometimes the park decides to run them crappy.
Canadmos Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 1) Huss Skylab!!!! 2) Mondial Topscan (as long as it is running a decent program). 3) Intamin Drop rides.
Simon Baynham Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Last year I went all the way to Germany with the ECC to try various parks and a German Fair. I was determined to ride a Huss Booster after seeing it on a ride-compilation DVD called "E Kirmes." :o  I was with a friend and we found the Booster only for me to chicken out at the last minute, so my friend rode alone (I'm such a wimp!) I regret not riding it, however I hope to rectify this matter in 2006! I would also like to ride a Mondial Shaker.  As a side note; Alpina Bahn is a great coaster!  Simon Baynham
jackskellington101 Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 My new number 1 flat ride: Rush! It's in the upper echelon of rides period for me.
calcajun Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Hmmm, Â Since i puke when i spin and most flats are spin and pukes. I really like the flats flattened by the wrecking ball! Â Is a sky coaster or slingshot a flat? If so they are awesome! Drop rides also. Â I know i could take sky swatter and screamin swing but they just don't apeal to me. Â I want to ride the flats soooo bad. Tried taking dramamine to acomplish this but ended up sleeping for three days!
viking86 Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I really liked Slammer at Thorpe park. Rush on the other hand was a bit dissappointing. It was a fun ride, but somewhat tame. I like KMG Afterburners better as they are alot more powerful.
Scaparri Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Vekoma Waikiki Wave- It was really disappointing for me to see SFKK take out the last flat ride of its kind in the U.S. to put in a dull waterslide that is being installed everywhere. The Waikiki Wave is an incredible flat that is now only found outside the U.S. Â Huss Giant Frisbee- This thing is just a monster. I love being spun nearly upside-down 140ft above the ground. Â Intamin Freefalls- These things never fail to scare the living crap out of me.
suave1226 Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 My all time favorite flat ride was the XK 1 at Knotts . It was the ride they took out to put in Supreme Scream. Now I would have to say Insanity. Scares the crap out of me but I love it.
exit english Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Any Intamin drop tower, preferably the taller ones  The Tivoli Orbiter is a SICK ride if its run on a good program  Huss Breakdance  Giant Frisbees are cool  The Herschell Looper is probably the most insane of all my favorite flats  I love rocking pirate ships  Screamin' Swings  -Josh
RCoasterny Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Huss Breakdance, Top Spin, Flipper, Rainbow, Magic, Frisbee, Enterprise, Giant Enterprise (Skylab), Troika, Swing Around, Jump 2 and Condor (yes, I've ridden them!). Eyerly Spider Mondial Top Scan Moser Rides Sidewinder (Knoebel's Fandango) Dartron Downdraft  What I want to ride: Huss Flic Flac (I saw the videos online and that thing looks sick!), and Booster.  Mondial Shake, Inferno and Swinger.
Simon Baynham Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Huss Flic Flack?! :shock: That thing looks so ill-conceived. I believe Huss only sold/made a few of these rides. If you're interested in coasters and spinners you would do well to purchase the DVD "E Kirmes" and the second title in the collection "I Kirmes" Each disk is packed (2+ hours) with transportable rides. Highly recommended. (Try Ebay!) Â Simon Baynham

I think the reason why there is only a few Flic Flac's due to the metal fatigue problems. Or was that the Magic? They both share the stroke technology and the hub.
ECZenith Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 The ekirmes and ikirmes DVDs are excellent. The newer IKirmes shows High Enrgy (Zierer Star Shape) it's the flat I want to try out the most. Â My favs are... Â Giant Top Spin, Giant Frisbee and Jump 2 as well as the Mondial Top Scan (particularly LI Adventureland's) Â Oh, can't forget the KMG Tango, definately the most intense ride I've ever been on.
robbeal Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 The best flat i've ridden would probably have to be the KMG Tango. Its just so insane & all over the place, I really didn't know what the hell was going on when I got off. Love it.
Shockwave Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I've got loads of favourites. As long as the ride is pretty forceful and does what it sets out to do, it gets a thumbs up. I've been on identical rides both bad and good. Â I'd love to ride a good Huss Breakdance again, they're probably my favourite flat ride of all time.
