Favourite Thrill Ride or Flat ride?

Ive seen lots of topics about favourite coasters so i thought i would ask what is your favourite thrill ride or flat ride? Mine is Sky Swat as you get a real sensation of being swung head over heals and almost hitting the ground. Well thats mine what about yours?

Sky Swat for me too, got my first ride on one on Tuesday and it was a great laugh The headrush the ensues is also quite fun, a really wierd sensation

This is weird. Mine is also a skay swat Slammer at Thorpe is just an awesome experience aint it Edge? You get some pretty crazy feelings on it, andf the head rush is funky

do you meen head rush as in a ride called head rush or the head rush on the ride?

I've been on a Sky Scraper twice, and those are a lot of fun, but the ride itself is really short compared to how long you spend getting strapped in. You do get that stop at the top while the other people get on though, which is cool, especially at the one in the Dells, nice view.

Has any one been on Sky Hawk or Rush? Those swing rides? If so what are thay like?

Ive been on Sky Hawk it is amazing except it is really short.

It feels like a weak launch forward, then some floater air, weak launch backward and some airtime again. It is a decent flat but unfortunately way too short cycle.

My favourite thrill ride is Scream which is an Intamin drop tower at Heide Park and then Detonator at Thorpe Park.

Ah, I forgot drop towers. Intamins are my favorite, even though I've only been on the one at SFGAm.

well i have to say mondial top scan (shockwave PCW) and a Mondial Revolution (psyclone pcw)

Skyhawk was pretty cool. There's like nothing to hold on too at all, just a really, really small metal bar. When you get to the highest point, you feel really free.

I would say Sledjehammer at Bobbejaanland, it's a Giant Frisbee Huss, it's really cool, really high but it's more a family ride rather then a real thrill ride.

If we count the Free Fall in the flat ride category then my favourite would be High Fall or Sream, 2 amazing Intamin free fall!

The Zipper... period. i've ridden all the computerized flippy and turny rides, but none will ever compare to the zipper. i'm suprised i'm the only one so far..

Mine is Xtreme Swing. It has so much air its not even funny! I have been on that ride about 25 times now and its still a rush every time i ride it.

I haven't really been on that many, but Drop Zone at PKD is just amazing.
Also, Inverter ships are really fun, but a bit nauseating. I rode one 5 times and nearly threw up.

My favorite mass produced flat ride would be a scrambler. I just love that feeling of almost obliterating yourself while you zoom past another car. Plus, I love laterals.

zipper yea

Zippers are a lot of fun, probably not my favorite though. Topdrag, how have the lines been for Xtreme Swing? I havn't been out yet this year, but it seems like a ride that would have long slow lines most of the time. Looks like a lot of fun though, can't wait to ride it.

id have to say either acrophobia, or one of those slingshot things you see at state fairs and such, i rode on in destin florida, it was great fun [:D]

Zippers make me so sick.

Definitely Mondial Infernos:

top spins, no doubt

Intamin Gyro Swings, or KMG Afterburners.

For those who dont know an Intamin gyro swing is just like a mini Giant Huss Frisbee. But packs a bigger punch. http://www.coasterforce.com/index.php?categoryid=430
Went on the above on opening day[:)]. Real smooth.

A KMG Afterburner is a smaller version of a Chance Morgan Revolution but again, packs a bigger punch. At most state fairs.

Both rides give a very forcefull ride, and if you catch it good, some nice floater at the top[:)].

A Vortex from TechnicalPark! Just everything is going round and round on that ride, so disorientating! [:D] movie: http://www.kermismovies.be/new/?a=view&b=505
Another favourite of mine is this a KMG Discovery! It's so fun, and sometime even very wet.. The best one is the Discovery of the Theunisz family, imo. Movie: http://kermismovies.be/new/?a=view&b=161

Oh if we are including tower rides it has to be Cliffhanger at Flamingoland. Its a combo tower so you get the shot and the drop in one ride program



GREAT! Especially as its on the yorkshire morrs where its really windy at the top!

acrophobia is my favorite. but close behind would be the screamin' swing rides, though very short they are very exciting, with only a lapbar.
