Canobie Fan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I think that the Tango can be run more crazy then a topscan... because a Tango can force you the way it wants to.. Where as a topscan free flips so you could get an inversionless ride... I have been on many great run flats but then many crappy. So its not the ride itself.. Its how its run..

Damien666 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 For me, Jumping at the Puyallup Fair. (Huss JUMP 1) I have never been on a ride that delivers the intense spinning a Jump 1 pull off. You are spinning quite fast for most of the entire ride! It only takes a short break in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okinawaboy11 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I would have to say Zamperla Roto Shakes. The rotations are so slow. It's very intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemental~Tiger Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 These are the CRAZIEST flat rides I've ridden..up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 The Vomitron, Surfer's Paradise, Australia - not the most complex ride but it can reduce even the toughest man into a dry retching, blubbering mess. Cha Cha, Funland in Ulla Dulla, Australia - a pretty standard ride but they seem to run it at warp speed, you can't even see the people in the other cars.

rydrmr9 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 What flatride(s) do you classify as the most intense or scariest? The most scary and intense flatride for me is Acrophobia at SFoG just because of the added factor of the 18" tilt at the top and the ride op's just scare the $h!t out of you! ~Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anac0nda Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hurakan Condor. I've never had such a rush! Another one is Screamin' Swings. Oddly I find these my favourite type of flatrides as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJGoBlue Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 MaxAir at Cedar Point seems pretty intense to me. That ride is one of the few that makes me feel sick. The forces on the down swing are pretty intense as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The S&S sky swat's. Seriously intense for a flat. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disneylander Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The George Foreman grills I find to be both intense and painful...definitely not my type of flatride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Actually an upcharge attraction, it would probably have to be SFMM's Thrill Shot back in 20001. It only had a thin vest-like harness that kept you locked in...and you were seated on a saddle-like seat. When launched up 300 feet, the seats would tilt like 90 degrees or so, leaving you to freefall like a skydiver. You could 'pick your poison' by picking different launch methods: Staying upright the entire time, Launch Upright, fall head-first, and Launch head-first, tilt up, then tilt down for a head-first freefall. What made them switch up the pod and how's it ride now? This version looks much more tamed down with it's not-so-free feeling seats. Original style...The thin vests that held you in place The old-style seats that gave you a complete sense of freedom I'd also probably have to say any drop tower, which is probably my favorite type of flat ride. (Technically, it isn't flat!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarner14 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The S&S sky swat's. Seriously intense for a flat. I agree with this. I went on one of these for the first time at SFNE on Monday and I was glad the cycle wasn't too long. It was very intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchboogie3 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Besides up-charge rides, I honestly think a good Tea Cups can get really intense. If you put some muscle into it, you can get your vehicle moving insanely fast. It is hard to make me queasy, but going all out on the Tea Cups can.

cal1br3tto Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 What stands out to me is Tower of Terror at DCA. However, I rode it when I was extremely scared of thrill rides, so I don't know if I'd perceive it the same way now. When I rode it, I actually almost started crying between the drops. I felt so betrayed; it was almost like I trusted it to be a normal elevator and didn't realize it was a ride! Also, I didn't know that airtime was even allowed on rides, so I thought the "I can't feel my seat" feeling was just some kind of illusion. At any rate the airtime is the highlight of a ride that's excellent in every way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverickrocks Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Intamin Drop Towers in general and Maxair. I've also heard that some of the Skyscraper rides are pretty crazy as well. The Crypt at KI was insane with it's post-TR program until about two months ago. Now the ride just sucks all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a wave swinger be considered an intense flat? The roto-shake has got to be one of the more intense/scary flats I've ever ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X2coasterfreak Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Scrambler at SFMM. Talk about intense. Crazy fast and the operators say you can stop the ride if you feel like your about to hurl. It is the craziest flat ride I have ever been on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmmrules! Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 The Revolution at CGA-the boat that goes upside down. That has got to be the scariest! It is everytime you go on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nannerdw Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Most intense: Huss Giant Top Spin- Don't ride this unless you are a woman. I can only imagine how painful the floorless version must be. Round Up and Gravitron 2000- These make me feel really uncomfortable and give me a headache. Hurricane- The whole time it just throws you against a sharp metal bar on the outer edge of the seat. Roll-O-Plane at Lake Winnie- Ouch. It would be really fun if I didn't get bruises on my legs from being bashed against the sides during a barrel roll. Cyclops (Chance Revolution)- For some reason, it was way more intense than either of the Giant Frisbees I have ridden Most WTF flat ride: Fun, but not nearly as intense as I expected: Skycoaster Best of the best: Rock-O-Plane Zipper Skyhawk at CP- Amazing airtime, especially if you put the lapbar about 2 inches off of you! Any drop ride, except for ones that launch upward (Red side of Power Tower= boring). Intamin 1st-gen towers are especially awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
