What's your favorite Flat ride?

[KnottsDisneyFarm]

^It is a great site...it's just hard to find your way around with all the Dutch.

[xChris125x]

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

 

Yep 35mph. Also the cars are what tilt, not the track.

[PriestofSyrinx]

Chaos! Chaos! Chaos!

 

I love this ride to DEATH!

Pretty much the only Flat Ride's I ride are Drop Towers. Intamin 2nd generations are my favorite but S&S Turbo Drop's are also fun.

 

Here's my Top 5:

 

1. Drop Tower - Kings Island

2. Drop Tower - California's Great America

3. Pit Fall - Kennywood

4. Power Tower (drop side) - Cedar Point

5. Supreme Scream - Knott's Berry Farm

OMG! That Devil Rock fairground ride looks sick! Isn't that a HUSS Flic-Flac rethemed?

[SnooSnoo]

Insanity on the Stratosphere.

 

Crapping my pants was an understatment.

[Jerrykoala2112]

I really love Log Flumes. For some reason, they appeal to me. I also like Spiderman 3D at Unviersal Studios. Men in Black was amazing also.

 

Indiana Jones, I think at Disneyland? That was good too...and Upswingset at Liseberg, (its like Skyhawk at Cedar Point and Valleyfair)

[Cixot]

Tomb Raider at KI before it was poured into a bowl of suck.

-The theming

-The actually ride itself

 

Now I wish they would just tear it down

Here are my Favorite Flat Rides.

 

1. Tower of Terror @ WDW. (I count it as a flat ride.)

2. Zipper @ Various Traveling Fairs

3. Drop Zone @ Kings Island

4. All the other Intamin 2nd Generation Drop Towers I've ridden

5. Hammerhead @ KBF (R.I.P)

[PriestofSyrinx]

Small one: Chaos (everywhere)

 

Big one: SkyHawk (Cedar Point)

[JamesMC]

I really really like the Huss Giant Frisbees.

 

Drop Zone at KI does the trick too. (wish they'd replace Giant Drop at SFGAM with one of these).

 

I am a big fan of any spinning ride though as well.

[Train Driver]

OMG! That Devil Rock fairground ride looks sick! Isn't that a HUSS Flic-Flac rethemed?

 

Yes, but the typ called Megadance, but a lot of people say Flic Flac.

[Twizzler]

I like the ride Fandango at Kanobles.(:

[cygnusx1]

Right now I think mine are:

 

1, and the others are not even close: maXair at Cedar Point. I got off of that one thinking I had never had that much fun on any ride, including coasters... except maybe on Montu and Apollo's Chariot! The upside-down view of the park on maXair late at night is mindblowing.

 

2. Drop Tower at Kings Dominion... great view of the park and very good airtime. I wish I made my visits to my home park with more people that could summon the courage to ride it, haha.

 

3. Flying Eagles at Kings Dominion

 

4. Super Himalayas are fun... I'll pick Trade Wind at Busch Gardens Europe since it gave me nice airtime earlier this season!

 

5a. Huss Troikas... I'd go with Triple Spin at Kings Dominion for this. I've also ridden the Troika at Cedar Point, but its setting in the park isn't so great and makes the ride look wimpy with maXair and Wicked Twister so close by.

 

5b. Tea cups at wherever... my first set was Mad Tea Party at the Magic Kingdom, but I like SFFT's too because they're billiard balls (non-traditional theme)

 

One that I think is highly, highly overrated: Skyhawk. It did nothing for me at all... except cause my acrophobia to kick in (which even Top Thrill Dragster did not do!). I got no airtime on that thing and was happy to get off.

I like Top Spins, the one at Elitch's does a cool program

[Pingu1651]

Top Spins, S&S Towers, and Giant Frisbees. In the less thrilling department, Yo-yos and Flyers are my favorites.

[B-RadG]

1. MaXair at Cedar Point- I love how disoriented I was afterwards. You constantly change between floater airtime while partially upside down and looking at the park and being crammed into the seat with Gs.

 

2. Drop Tower at Kings Dominion- I think this is the only flat ride that still scares me. I love the perspective of how high up you are and then the amazing weightlessness during the drop.

 

3. Chaos at Cedar Point- Call me crazy but it was a LOT of fun. I loved how you had control to flip it yourself and how during the ride you were guaranteed to go in every direction possible.

 

4. Power Tower (drop side) at Cedar Point- I probably would have liked it more if I hadn't been assigned to the side facing one of the other towers, but anyhow the drop was fun and I liked how you bounced up and down before stopping.

 

5. Meteor at Dorney Park- I was scared out of my wits when I got on but it turned out to be a lot of fun. It's like going through a Schwarzkopf loop umpteen times, both forwards and backwards.

[DiveMachine]

My favorite flat has to be Houdini's Great Escape@SFGadv(Vekoma Mad House)

[DOCTOR DOOM!!!]

My favorite flat by a longshot is Vekoma's Wakiki Wave! Is there any more of these in the WORLD?! The only one i've seen is Quake at SFKK! Quake was a prototype and was usually a lawn ornament! I heard that after Quake, Vekoma perfected them so they could go upside down! Quake was replaced with a ProSlide Tornado in 2005! When Quake was open, I loved everything about it down to the ominous screeching sounds the engines made!

 

Does anyone know where I can experience another Vekoma Wakiki Wave?!!!

[Band-Aid]

Every drop ride in existence (Except for the ones at Family Kingdom and Circus Circus, they sucked!)

 

Also, If you've been to the Chincoteague Island 4th of July Fair, it has the most insane Paratrooper you will ever ride (yes, an insane Paratrooper, you have to ride it to believe it).

Oh yeah, Chance Chaos rides are effing amazing!
