I wanted to post about this, but I surprisingly couldn't find any thread for this that wasn't long dead.
Anyway, my favorite flat ride is absolutely Looper at Knoebels. If you ride it with someone who weighs about the same as you, it's boring. But if there is a large weight difference between you and the other person in your car, you will be rapidly tumbling the whole time, and it's just janky fun for the whole cycle. Not to mention that it's a recreation of an antique Herschell ride faithful to the blueprint!
Speaking of janky fun, Demon Drop at Dorney Park is really great, and while it might not be the best ride, it is something to be experienced before all of the Intamin fist-gen towers disappear.
Another ride that I think deserves a shout is Stratosfear, also at Knoebels. These Larson towers are just insane, and I still remember thinking "shouldn't the brakes have kicked in by now?"
While not particularly a standout ride, I had a really great cycle on Delirium at Kings Dominion a couple years ago in heavy rain. What made it special was that on the down swing, all the big raindrops seemed to stop in midair as you were going down the same speed as them. Really a surreal experience.
What are your favorite flat rides? I'd be really interested to know, seeing as I haven't gotten to many of the great ones.
