ThanksforRiding Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 A Mondial top scan with a real aggressive program is hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noporian Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Frisbee's (especially on the fairs because of their insane programs), Intamin freefalls and Gaint Top Spins like Talocan in Phantasialand. Awesomely kicking rides! It's not a giant topspin actually, there are none in the world atm. It's a suspended one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronWolfman Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Any Zipper is a favorite of mine! Also A.R.M./Larson drop towers, Intamin drop towers, and frisbee rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isau Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 The Zipper! Also, not sure if they technically still count as a "flats" or whether they should be considered "darks" due to their unconventional add-ons, but the now defunct Dante's Inferno, Abominable Snowman, and Dungeon at Miracle Strip in Panama City Beach, FL. These were a Chance Trabant, a Scrambler, and a Tilt a Whirl built inside domes, which included music and a light show during the ride. The Snowman in particular was the best Scrambler ever: the inside of the dome had MIRRORS, and half way through the ride a strobe light would kick in. Great take on an otherwise very standard ride. The Dante/Trabant was also very disorienting. At the moment it changed directions, and at the moment it first rose into the air, the lights would go out.

gisco Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I love giant Frisbee's. I could sit on those all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropzonefan Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well, I understand that I praised intamin towers before, but I also have to say that the S&S shoot up towers (Space/Double shots). Can provide a great pop of ejector air, and give a nice balance of fun/intensity. Launch is also great to. Also, the lower cost of the ride itself allows the park to do some other great stuff, such as build it indoors (very intense felling with the ejector air so close to the roof), as well. The low cost also gives me something to look forward to at smaller parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 My favorite flat has always been Time Warp, SFNE's Vekoma Air Jumper. Man was i upset when they got rid of it. <3 Photo Credit: Theme Park Critic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoe124 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 My favorite ride is Big Droppy Thing. Or probably any Intamin Gyro Drop for that matter. Image from Google Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Enterprise, Zipper, drop towers, combo shot, gyro swing/giant frisbee are all my favorites. I think drop towers win for airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Enterprise was my fave as a kid. Over and over and over. Loved the Bayern Kurve too, but I don't know of any around here other than Kennywood. After doing some things this year, I have to say Flying Scooters @ SFA were awesome, Z:DOD @ SFGAdv & Dominator @ Dorney for drop towers. I'm slowly getting over my hatred of anything that spins, which didn't start until adulthood. That said, Apollo @ Dorney was one of the best rides I had on anything all year, coasters included. Total surprise, I want to go back just for that ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie Warrior Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Cyclone Sam's at Worlds of Fun blew me away. Just goes to show that theming and special effects can turn an okay ride into a fantastic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF15 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Definitely Zippers. They continually throw you in and out of your seat in the greatest way possible. It's too bad they can usually only be found at local fairs. If you're strictly talking favorite amusement park flats, probably S&S Screamin' Swings. They have a great mix of airtime and positive G's.

StuckInSD Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Mine is definitely Knight's Tournament at Legoland California, which is a KUKA "Robocoaster" (huh, so Six Flags wasn't first in that fad). It's a capacity nightmare, but I love it regardless. 5 levels to choose from, and the top level on this thing is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
