Insane Flat rides

Whenever someone mentions insane or crazy flat or fairground rides this always springs to mind.


I love Tagadas. Never fallen off the seats before like in this video, but it always feels like I'm about to.

The pic Sue posted is a KMG Experience which is a great ride but can be very intense as I discovered the first time I went on one. I think I had to sit down for a moment afterwards :)

The photo Alex posted is a Tivoli extreme orbiter which is a great ride and can be very forceful :)

This is a Twin Spin which is one of the worst flat rides I've ridden - so much so that I could only go on it once as it was so bad! :D

Yeah, I've said in previous topics how much I LOVE the Crazy Trains - they're the most intense and insane things I've ever been on. <3

Isn't that Twin Spin thing the same as an old meteorite, or does it have a slightly different action?

Rotors are odd too, but then there're quite a few of them around still:

^That... thing that was posted the whole disk is spun upside down whilst spinning. Vulgar.

Also, Move-Its are horrid.

^ I found it even weirder that the Star Flyer span out directly over the road to be honest. Obviously it's just as safe for riders whatever they're being spun over, but it's weird walking/driving down that road.

Yeah, you're right. It's actually REALLY close to the fences too. It's also the only start flyer I've seen that goes up/down more then once during a ride cycle. The one I've been on before didn't. Ah well, still a **** ride!

It is, It's got a great atmosphere. I'm going back late January!

Chance turbo. Enough said. I dont think anything i've seen even comes close to this thing! Some of the travelling European rides do look quite insane with some pirate ships even having cages on the back for people to stand in!

I think they're more commonly known as Mega Spin Rollover? They had a Judge Dread themed one of them at Pleasurewood for a couple of years, I remember loving it! Though I doubt I have the stomach for it nowadays...

Personally, I know them as a Twin Spin but there's also a similar ride called a Spinball, which is equally bad but does slightly different movements.

Regarding the pic not showing, I've put in a different one which should do :)
Also, I can't understand what the attraction is with a Crazy Train - I went on the one called "It's the Roller" last year and I'm glad I only went on it once :)

I get dizzy and start feeling pretty sick on a lot of flat rides, so I'd always avoided the twin spins, but gave into peer pressure and rode James Charles' Stargate a in November.. ohhmyygoodddddd. the forces on that! Although it didn't actually make me feel any worse than the likes of a superstar or extreme, which surprised me - I actually quite enjoyed it.

I went on a superspin in February, and like furie, thought it was one of the most disgusting experiences of my life. Quite ironic considering that KMG's name for that model of ride is Experience!
