Goliath513 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 My favorite flat is probably a Gravitron/Starship 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantRevenge Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 nothing can beat the classic feel and experience of a Zipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP Psyclone Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I liked XK-1 at Knott's (Intamin Flight Commander). Although it wasn't too thrilling, being able to control inversions yourself made it fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewlcoasterdude Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Anyone remember that ride a Kings Island where you were in a jet or rocket and you could control the moves it made? You could make it go up or down and you could also perform barrel roles with the joystick in the middle. I think it is closed now, but it was a lot of fun when I rode it a long time ago.

They had one at GA too. It was really fun! Too bad it was replaced by a TurboBungy and eventually a 3 Point Challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 ^ I used to love Sky Hawk. I was crushed when I went the following season and it was gone. My favorite has to be either a KMG Fireball or a Huss Breakdance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Zippers are pretty sweet, but that's in ghetto fairs. I also like gravitrons and top spins. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I used to love Sky Hawk. Woa! KI had one of those? KD had Sky Pilot around 86-89. In the small pic you can see a yellow and black Foreign Legion type hat with some of the logo. It's on the left under the Loch Ness Monster (white and green) hat. Wow! This is like show and tell day at TPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Monday, September 10, 2007 Hamanako Pal Pal park, Japan I found my true in flat rides. So much so, I rode it four times in a row! As did several of us there at the time, lol. A two-seater Paratrooper-Enterprise-like thing. One that can have the seats LOCKED in place (see top of the wheel in the pic below?) at the BWWWA-HA-HAaaaa merciless desire of the ride op??? The real deal in this amazing flat, is that when your chair was unlocked you could possibly swing your seats around into a 360' loop! Or more, as or Au$$ie A$$hole rep Rich proved on every ride he took, with or without a buddy passenger! (Ask Lou 'bout that one, lolol.) Never thought I'd want to ride something like this again - and again - and again! Mmm, man does my home park need this flat. Yummers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermanrosfan0810 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It was S&S Screamin Swings, but now after Cedar Point it's maXair and Giant Frisbees. Extreme Airtime, Powerful downward G's and crazy heights! all four rides were amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfire Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I can't decide what my favorite flat is. There are so many and I love them all. But I can say what the scariest is for me. Tonight, at the local carnival, I popped my Zipper cherry with my dad. While we were looking at the ride, we noticed that not a lot of people were flipping. So we get on, and the ride starts. Almost immediately we did four flips in a row! I was expecting to not flip that much, and I think we flipped about fifteen times! It doesn't look that intense, but when I was on it it was very scary! There was a sign at the entrance that said "This is a Super thrill ride designed for mature and experienced riders only." They were not lying.

IggyACE Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 A good old Breakdance that is run right! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jten11 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I'm not sure how many people know about this ride, but it's called a KamiKaze (mostly seen in fair and carnivals) Its like two hammers that swing opposite each other and eventually flip you upside down (sometimes hang you upside down). That, along with the traditional swings, and the orbiter are my favorite flats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eBen Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 My Favorite 3 are Rush (S&S swing @ Thorpe park)Ice Blast (S&S space shot @ PBBlackpool)Some fairground version of PBB Spin Doctor (I can see McDonald's from here!!) You cant make me chose!!! but seeing as thats the point in the thread its the swing. Always loved the pirate ship versions and the sound it makes is great Has anyone ridden that and Skyhawk and want to tell me how much better Cedar Points version is to make the agonizing wait to get there worse Rush @ Thorpe Park http://freizeitpark-welt.de/freizeitparks/thorpe_park/tp_start.php?id=903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
