What's your favorite Flat ride?

[KnottsDisneyFarm]

I love La Revolucion at KBF (as usual) because of the airtime at the top of the swings. What really sucks is when you get stuck on the row of seats that always end up on the bottom.

The seats on the bottom are a let down. The top seats are full of airtime though!

Power Tower- I love the view from up there.

[alilstronger]

Zipper

Orbiter

Freak Out

Inverter

[ThatFearless]

The Fireball at the fair where half the seats are broken. The fear factor really adds to the fun of it all! =D

[Twizzler]

Hmmm it's hard but I would have to say,

The Zipper and this ride called WipeOut

[LiveForTheLaunch]

My favourite flat is hands down, MaXair, followed by Shockwave at Wonderland.

 

If drop tower count, MaXair is still my favourite, but Drop Tower at Kings Island and XScream at Waldameer are pretty great too.

I really love the S&S Screamin' Swings. I've only ridden CP's Skyhawk, but I would love to ride another of their installations, particularly one of the smaller ones that swing faster than the 40-seaters.

 

The Giant Frisbees are fun, but the seats are a little tight on me, so that takes away from it somewhat.

[LiveForTheLaunch]

^ I think Skyhawk is a lame ride, to be honest. It needs to have a full cycle, and until then, I don't like it. I'd like to try one of the four seaters or whatever, but the medium sized ones like the one at Kennywood are terrible.. No airtime and a crappy cycle.. Lovely.

Oh no, I have a new favorite.

 

Magnum, owned by Butler Amusements. I believe it's a Mondial Shake. Anyway, it's the craziest rocky-flippy ride I've ever been on! It whirls, rocks impressively, and inverts plenty of times. Just when you think it's slowing down, it starts flipping again!

Each "somewhat Scrambler-esque" ride I've been on is better than the last--first I enjoyed Orbiter, then I was thrilled by Viper, and now I'm totally floored by Magnum!

 

The scariest and most intense flat ride I've experienced is definitely Evolution. It has the craziest hangtime ever, with the height making it that much worse--indeed, much worse. It goes around way too many times and it's way too slow when you wish it would just hurry up and get back to ground level! I don't ever want to go on that ride again, although realistically, I might.

Top flat rides...

 

1) Mondial Top Scan (in particular the one that was at Adventureland, NY)

2) KMG Experience

3) KMG Tango

4) Evolution

[Koolkid]

S&S Screamin' Swing

 

Only been on one, Rush at Thorpe Park, Which I think was the prototype.

 

It's amazing, if you go on a quiet day the cycle lasts a decent amount of time and the airtime is insane.

Chaos (Nothing bad about it)

Zamperla Hawk (The downside is the nut-crushing restraints)

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

Since I've been experiencing more rides as time goes on, I'm really beginning to like more flat rides. A few I like include:

Tilt-A-Whirl

Zamperla Inverter

Huss Pirate Ship

Gambler type rides

Most Screamin' Swings

S&S Towers

[alilstronger]

So I can not remember if I posted anything in here or not so here it goes....

 

The BEST flat EVER is the Zipper

-Chaos

-Hi-Roller

-Spider

-Enterprise

-Taboggon

[palavos3]

The Gravity Works Skyscraper is the world's best thrill ride, including all coasters.

[Retro_Gaga]

^^ I've always wanted to see a pov of the chance toboggan ride.

 

Mine are.

 

Giant Frisbee

Sky Hawk

Intiman 1st Gen Drop Tower

Chaos

[Reon]

In no specific order(?)

 

Chaos: Nothing compares to the ability to freely flip in all those crazy angles

TipTop: Teacups meets hydrolics meets round up=INSANE!!!!!!!!!!

1st Gen Drop Tower: All things with airtime are good to me, but I just prefer Demon Drop to its new age cousins....

Flyers: Need I say why?

Cosmotron: Himilaya done right, and one of the reasons I love Knoebels

[KnottsDisneyFarm]

^Holy crap! That think looks like it gets going so fast! I like how the track tilts as it gets faster.

[Train Driver]

Since my Visit on the Cranger Kirmes Devil Rock (Megadance-Huss) is one of my favourite Flatrides too.

 

Here is a video of Devil Rock. I made it when I was on the Cranger Kirmes.

 

[Cygnus12]

Here's a cool site I found: http://www.kermissimulaties.nl/. It's a site full of flatride simulators that you can mess around with; kind of like No Limits Fairground.

 

Just go to the "Database" page to find the list of rides with download links. One thing is that all of the directions to run them are in German or Dutch, so you might need to translate them to figure out what keys do what.
