ECZenith Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 KMG Tango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 is that KMG Tango as bad as it looks? I have seen on before and looks scary. Standing up will add to the excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavslayer Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 ^ I went on one at Hull Fair called the Equinox, it was really good but not too scary. It was pritty intense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 is it like a standing version of the extreme or completly different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavslayer Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Its completly different, it starts off flat to the ground, starts spinning, then stands right up and the arms spin round like a windmill. The stand up restraints are surprisingly comfy and not as painful as they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 ah, I knew about the stand up part, but wondered about ride experience. looks like your doing a stand up backwards sommersault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavslayer Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 looks like your doing a stand up backwards sommersault Yeah thats kinda what happens but your spinning and twisting round aswell, its a really unnatural movement but it works very well.

Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 so its a ride not to go on with a full stomach basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 KMG Tangos are insane. -You stand up on a bicycle type seat, not as uncomfortable as it looks, actually because you have little "foot pod" things to hold up some of your weight. -Besides being elevated so high, the thing moves you on three different axes at once. It seems uou're upside down as much as you're right sid eup. -The one that comes through Brockton Mass has a pretty long ride cycle, and at night the visuals are insanity... It's actually pretty re-rideable though... belive it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 ah, sounds insane, I like it on a night time when it light up, like the picture above. I know I couldn't go on it, I don't have the stomach for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Obiously Enka's Orbitor! SOmeone in that area has got to go to Enka next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I'm surpsrised no one has mentioned this, but it is all about Zipper guys. Just the insanity of it is awesome! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Them Zippers look insane and them Orbitors rule, just like our extreme except them leave your feet dangeling, great ride though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I found a lot of fear but barly any intensity on Zippers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 This is what a zipper looks like. They're fun, but I've whacked my head pretty hard against the bar that's right in front of you in the cage. Very disorienting, but like the man said, not that intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XII Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Zippers are Freakin Awsome!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I think they are very scary! The only thing I hate about them is when I was holding on to the Death Grips, Then steel cage thingy gave me a cut on my right hand's forth's finger's knukle (I think that's how it goes). The only Zipper I rode (Enka's one) wasn't worth a re-ride. Everyone at my school (Except for my other coaster enthusiastic friend) said its was awsome because it goes up side down! Obviously, they didn't even brother with the Orbitor! Way more intense, way faster(!), and way more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSLSM Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I love Zippers since they throw you all over, but you don't feel sick when you get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCOSurfer90 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Speaking of Zipper's, I just got off of one about an hour ago . Zipper's are by far my favorite. To me they feel kinda like coasters, they give you negative g's and sometimes some pretty powerful positive ones too. I love the flipping though. My records 31 on that ride, anyone beat it?

chaos Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I like the Top Spins that have independently rotating arms. They look so unnatural. The Zipper comes in second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
