i found this at some site and thought it was pretty neat. Here was the results
Ride Park
10-Intiman Freefall Rides- In general
9-Drop Zone Stunt Tower PKD
8-Shockwave PCW
7-Power Surge Knobels
6-Zamperla Energy Storm Various Fairs
5-Power Tower CP
4-Sledge Hammer PCW
3-Acrophobia SF Georgia
2-Delirium PKI
1-Tomb Raider the Ride PKI



alot of them came from paramount

Texas Twister at SFWOA should have been on there.

Drop Zone Stunt Tower PKD would be good

Intamin Ride Trade Tower a drayton mmanor, is the best ride ive ever been. Compared with even rollercoasters id still rather ride apocalypse. Second fro me would be Valhalla at Blackpool that also kicks ass

the flat rides at PCW are really cool (most shared with paramount).

Nothing beats whips and flyers.

hahahah i agree with IF on that, because if ne one else has been on one, theyre not as tame as they look, and theyre not a bad ride all together.

what do they look like

go and find out for yourself next tine you go to a good park, theyre usually just named "whip" or "The Whip"

Well, basicly your just in little cars and you get yanked around a circular thing, then you get slammed with about 2 laterals [^]

Blackpool Pleasure Beach has a Whip, but its tucked away under the Big One and The Avalanche. Usualy depending on the queue for The Big One, its the first ride i go on. Its quite a laugh and since your usualy the only person on it, it just adds to the humour. I was on it for about 5 mins once because the ride_op wouldnt stop it which sucked

I really like KMG Afterburners like the Vortex at Thorpe Park.

My favorite flat rides are:

Top Scan (Mondial)
Frisbee (Huss)
Zipper (Chance)
Cobra (um...I have no clue)
Break Dance (Huss)(Only at Astroland though, all others run slower than hell)

spin-out, at lots of fiars is the best

mission space!!!!! but valhala also looks cool and has a neat name.
i also like tower of terror and the s&s frefall / shot tower thingies. test track is fun too... oh, dinosaur is a great ride!! lol, did anyone notice that i've been sticking to disney rides?

I think M:S, ToT, Dinosaur, and TT are all "dark rides" though,

tower of terror is more of a heavily themed freefall if anything... but yeah, test track, and dinosaur are dark rides. however, mission space is a centrifuge.. so it's again, a very very highly themed flat ride. its like an enclosed sit-down and rotating turkish twist with a television / videogame system attached [;)]

I like Huss Top Spin's[texas twister] and Chance Inverters [Time Warp]

Top Spins are a lot of fun too.

Mission: Space is more like a Spin Out that only spins and has motion simulators on the arms.

oh.. well, i forgot what a spin out is lol

Sorry for the epic topic digging, but, with the 2011 park season upon us, I thought this could be a fun discussion. Please list your top 10 flat rides, in order:

1) Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
2) Soarin' Over California
3) Huss Troikas
4) Chance Zippers
5) Viking Fury at KI
6) huss frisbees
7) Intamin 1st gen Freefalls
8) Chance Wipeout
9) Inverter(except for the ball-crushing 3 sec upside-down hold)
10) tie between Chance Chaos and Monster at KI(except load/unload takes forever)

I really can't make a top 10, so in no particular order:

-FLYING SCOOTERS!!!
-SKYSCRAPER!!!
-ARM drop ride
-Intamin Giant Drop
-S&S Double Shot
-S&S Screamin Swing
