Awesome Switzerland Flatride!

This ride is so f***ing sweet. I don't know if anyone has seen it, it's pretty new. I also don't know if anyone cares but I'm a huge flat ride fan and this concept is awesome haha.

That looks dope.

It's like those Space Rings from RCT2 on massive steroids.

It seems like something someone like Meta would think of after he gets high.

not gunna lie, the thought HAD occurred to me during a high-dea brainstorming session....but i never thought it'd actually exist....the design I thought of used circles and was based upon a gyroscope, but i guess squares work too lol

I saw this a little while ago and I'm still like "WTF" after seeing it again . That thing looks mental

Looks epic for the next CC avatar to add!

Seen this a while ago exploding all over facebook when they just released the video.
Seems like a fun ride, if operated on manual mode. Although I was hoping on some point that the gondola could unlock and rotate freely as well.

Haha I thought of doing this with Larson loops inside of Larson loops. Larsonloopception

Now six flags can add 2 new coaster at once!

Reminds me a lot of the old Zamperla Mixers...

I also kinda suspect that like the Mixer it looks more impressive than it rides.

Constant smooth rotation is just less interesting than physics.

Pretty much all the classic flat rides use gravity to generate interesting/quick movements...

Top Spin, Zipper, even the lowly Tilt-a-Whirl.
