StarTrekGeek Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Drop towers, with Dr. Doom at IOA being the best.
StarTrekGeek Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 ^ Have you been on Dr. Doom? I will admit that Doom was the only drop tower I've ridden (don't go out of state too much, but I'm going to Carowinds and Kings Dominion this summer), but it is still a very fun ride.
Andrewoplis Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I have a few- Frisbee's (Especially Huss Frisbee's) KMG Experience's Schwarzkopf Enterprise's Top Spins(Especially Huss Top Spins) Chance Zipper's Rock-o-planes Break Dancer's
VinTheAttendant Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Maxair at Cedar Point was a big surprise, I thought it'd be like the smaller frisbee at my local park, but holy crap was it awesome! Maelstrom at Morey's Piers, I couldn't tell when I was upside down or on my back! Awesome gem to the park, I hope it never leaves. I used to not like Catapult at SFNE, but it's grown on me and I've come to like the feeling of my face being ripped off. Used to be terrified of drop towers, and I still am, but I love them to death! Though I'll probably lose my credibility of being a man, I must admit that I still love carousels and sometimes I can't resist boarding them.
Dacorian Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 sledge hammer @ Bobbejaanland. How can Huss make something so darn big? But the second has to be 'Talocan' in Phantasialand. Fantastic themed floorless top spin.
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I absolutely love drop rides. The taller, the better. The initial drop and weightlessness is excitingly scary! Those sky swing/sky coaster things are pretty fun, but the cost of them is ridiculous. Of course the Zipper at the fair is awesomely fun. Can never get enough of them.
Drachen77 Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 This one is tough for me. I usually don't think too much about flat rides. They are more of a nice distraction for me. However, as I think of it one of the coolest rides I've been on is a centrifuge type ride where the floor drops down (sorry, I don't know the name). I also love the flying scooters and the Huss Top Spins.
cleusk Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 My favorite flat ride would be the carousel. It's great fun and everybody can ride it. I also enjoy admiring the artwork and designs, especially the ones made of wood. My favorites are the Dentzels.
australianalex Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Havent been on many flat rides but my favourite of the ones Ive been on is The Claw at Dreamworld, its an Intamin Gyro Swing and its awesome.
XYZ Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I really enjoyed the Double Shot at SCBB, I just really enjoy launching coasters and rides and this being my only "launching ride", it really impressed me and the boardwalk atmosphere really made it very impressive. Double Shot is the only ride in SCBB that I can do a marathon (or Giant Dipper in the front seat). Also, I was impressed by Spongebob's Boatmobiles (PEANUTS Pirates) in CGA as I never expected a kiddie ride to be that much fun. I thought it was genius to make the ride slow down and speed up during the ride with the illusion that the ride ended and then it speeds up and whips you in a dizzying revolution. Though, my favorite flat ride is Double Shot.
aimster Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Cedar Downs at Cedar Point. When I was a kid, my friends & I used to bet quarters on which of our horses would "win". A Matterhorn/Music Express running a good programs always gets high marks too.
bottom_feeder_13 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Any S & S shot, drop, turbo drop or combo tower or screamin' swing, hands down, end of story.
TJ27 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 HUSS Giant Frisbees are my favorite with S&S Screamin' Swings as a close second.
australianalex Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Im not the biggest fan of S&S Spaceshots. We have a 200ft one here in australia (Batwing at movieworld) and it looked intimidating enough to give me second thoughts about riding. However, once I came off I was actually very dissapointed. The first launch is kinda fun and you get a bit of airtime at the top but I really didnt find it thrilling at all.
alexinla Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 My favorite Flatride is the Transformer Ride that travels on the German Fair Circuit. I could just watch that ride all day long.. (Video is from me)
_koppen Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Giant Discovery Flying Fury Star Flyers are nice as well.
-Edge of Beast- Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 S&S Screamin' Swings are my favorite. Especially Skyhawk at CP.
Anything Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Certainly mine is Apocalypse stand up floorless drop tower at Drayton Manor in the UK.
speedmetal Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Flats rides are so much fun. I love spinning. Swing rides are by far my favorite. The Shafer Swings @ Indiana Beach may not be themed but swinging over the water is terrifying you feel like your going to fly off.
coasterbill Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Zippers or Huss Giant Frisbees are probably my favorites. That being said I've always been a bit of a Paratrooper Enthusiast also. While I wouldn't consider them thrilling or anything I've been going to Rehoboth Beach every summer since I was born and the Paratrooper they have there was my first "big ride". They're a rare breed but I never pass up the opportunity to ride one.
