Flat Rides!

[coolbeans326]

So, have you searched and searched, and searched to find those flat ride companies you just couldn't fine? Well, I found the 2 major ones that manufactor majority of the rides you see at theme parks today.
these are the guys that brought you rip tide http://www.hussrides.com/index.htm
and here's the guys that brought you a lot of other stuff!
http://www.zamperla.it/
These, are probably the 2 major flat ride companies. And as a theme park enthusiest (not just a coaster [;)] I feel we don't talk enough about the flat rides. SO wats your favorite flatride, and what's the companies name?
My favorite is the "Thrill Ride/Swinging Ride" by zamperla

I wouldnt say Zamperla at every park at least in flats.

My favourite is a Mondial Revolution![:D]

Wow I've been on so many of those

The best site showing flat rides is the Flat joint which can be found at:
http://www.flatrides.com/
This is the best way to see any flat ride you want to see, as it has a huge ride index with most of the flat rides ever created. It is really hard to pick my favourite but i think it would have to be made by either modial/KMG/Huss! My favourites are (in order)
1) Mondial topscans - look amazing - great idea!!!! great ride!!!!
2) Huss Topspin - feel amazing and very fun to watch. Especially ones with working water fountains - e.g Ripsaw at Alton Towers.
3) S&S sports space shot - would you count this as a flat ride? I wasnt sure, but you get a great feeling when you suddenly shoot skywards, and then you get great airtime and views at the top!!!
4) KMG Afterburner - amazing feeling when going at full speed and swing. You get some great G's aswell sometimes.
5) Huss Fissbee - Same as KMG Afterburner, although the huss ones can spin faster. Well it feels like they do but often dont swing as high. Although the giant Frissbees look great, but ive never ridden one and never spoken to anyone who has. This is the reason why The Huss one is after KMG's, but the Giant Huss one would probably win.

Thats my top five. I also rode a decent shot and drop tower at Lincoln (UK) Christmas Market, although when we were a the top i thought it was gonna break. lol

Zamperla LOL some pure bs , they made 2 good rides on 40 LOL it's just copies of other brand but 40 x cheaper

Huss Jump2 > All

[:(] I thought that they were a good company (runs off screaming/crying/ and flailing his arms around)

^Have you tried one of their Volares? IMO they suck.

Nothing beats a good 'ole Chance Zipper.

^ if you would consider ToT as a flat ride, that is most definately one of the best, if not the best, out there.

Totaly Agreed!

if a freefall is considered a flat ride, then tower of terror. if not, then the zipper. although i have yet to see a park with one! what's up with that?!

You can find some ride simulators on here. I have got some more somewhere but i cannot find the link!
