I was wondering if anybody had a video that contains just fottage of Bling at BPB, i dont know if anyone has ridden it before, but it is a really good ride, IMO!!! Also, i wonder if anyone knows if there is to be a Giant Frisbee in the UK in the future? Thanks !!!

Theres also some footage of bling in the www.coasterforce.com videos. I cant wait, im riding Bling in October. And it isnt likely we will get a giant frisbee, due to height issues. The closest thing we have is Amazing confusion at Fantasy Island which is an Ultra max ride, basically a HUGE frisbee ride that goess all the way over! Made by Mondial.

and then theres Maelstrom at Drayton Manor which is also LIKE a giant frisbee. Its actually an Intamin Gyro swing.

bling looks lame IMO it just is swinging and spinning my favorite type of ride are the zippers. I watched vid did it ever really go upsidown.

Most of the seats or what ever you want to call them invert, however 1 or 2 don't!

^Maelstrom looks really lame....


But yet it is still more forcefull than it's giant cousins. The shorter swing at a faster speed means greater forces than the bigger versions on the ride. Maelstrom is actualy a pretty awesome ride, also good for giving everyone headrushes

it probably is, i really like giant frisbees but i haven't ridden a ride like bling. Those rides don't really go upside down, but look really fun to ride [:)]

also, some giant frisbee pics:

^Well, Dirk, you certainly get some good pictures.[:)]. I don't really know much about either of these rides but they both look fun to me.

i rode max air at ceadr point. i like the small fireballs at county fairs. i think delerium at a paramount park is identical to these. but that bling ride didnt look all that. the seats just rocked back and forth while the thing spun around. i like the S&S screaming squirrels. those are intense!!
