KnottsDisneyFarm Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 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!

ThatFearless Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 The Fireball at the fair where half the seats are broken. The fear factor really adds to the fun of it all! =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizzler Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hmmm it's hard but I would have to say, The Zipper and this ride called WipeOut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveForTheLaunch Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveForTheLaunch Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 ^ 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.

cal1br3tto Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 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.

ECZenith Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Top flat rides... 1) Mondial Top Scan (in particular the one that was at Adventureland, NY) 2) KMG Experience 3) KMG Tango 4) Evolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolkid Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre8 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Chaos (Nothing bad about it) Zamperla Hawk (The downside is the nut-crushing restraints) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reon Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 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....

Train Driver Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus12 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 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.
