I have ridden Infinity 3 times now (the KMG inversion 24) and yes it is my favorite flat. The hangtime up there is wild. The forces and speed at the bottem are insane. Still blows my mind that thing fits on 4 semi trailers.
There is a flatride you neglected. That is the indoor scrambler. These rides are just normal scramblers with a sound and light show to them and they are a blast! The best is Atrosphere at Funtown/Splashtown in Saco Maine. The pov do not do it justice and I could marathon that ride for hours!
Nice video! I dislike swing rides and ferris wheels but I like pendulums, drop towers, & screamin swings. I haven't ridden a lot of the kinds you showed here
Understandable. Most of the flat rides on my list can only be found at fairs. I actually had some good experiences at fairs so if you’re near one and you have time, I’d recommend going to one!
I would have at least given honorable mention to XCALIBUR , Six Flags St Louis - the only operating Nauta Bussink Evolution (out of a total of three that were built)
A really neat ranking! I don’t have a list right now, but the Fun Spot Skycoaster, Orlando Starflyer, and Vertigo are rides I really want to experience.
Great List, although I would have included the Stan Checketts drop towers. Also Mondial Topscans are insane. Ive only ridden Samurai at Lagoon but you can get insane hangtime if you get a good ride, but they are inconsistent.
Great video! Now when you are indcluding drop Towers, what about Haunted Mine Drop? What about the Intamin Gyro Swings? Btw, you should also check out the KMG ride called Eclipse. I rode it in Hamburh Dom in 2018, and its my second favorite flat, after Vertigo Mechanica didnt really impress me personally. The forces was pretty weak:/ Here are some of mine (i indclude drop towers as a seperated ride kind, so they will not be indcluded) 1 Zipper 2 Talocan 3 Ghost Rider 4 Sledgehammer 5 Top Scan
Haunted Mine Drop and Intamin Gyro Swings/Giant Discoveries would probably be the next 2 honorable mentions. Eclipse looks incredible! I’ll consider adding that to this list. Sorry to hear about Mechanica. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed if I ride it. And your list is great! Zipper is an amazing ride that everyone should ride at least once.
ive ridden a slingshot and it kinda sucked, but the best flat by far ive ridden was twister at darien lake, it was just a normal top spin, and im not a fan of top spins, but this particular one had an insane cycle, first, u got 20 seconds of hangtime and it killed ur head, then u started accelerating while upside down and ur head simply exploded at that point, and if that wasnt enough then u would rapidly flip about 5 times, causing a greyout for me every time, and i never greyout on anything, so for most it was probably a guarantee blackout, then after that u do take a mini break before getting 2 pops, 1 forward and the next backward, of ejector airtime, idk how a top spin could give this strong of airtime, but twister somehow did, u then end the ride the same as any top spin, but cuz its a park with crappy maintenance the fountains didnt work, this ride was the only that ive ever ridden that was too intense, and it was a bigger endurance test than running a marathon, i lapped this ride whenever i saw it running, cuz like all older top spins it was a technical nightmare, i went to the park 20 ish times in 2018 the only year i ever got to ride it and only saw the ride running 4 times i was there, but like i said i rode this until i couldnt no more those 4 times, and i had to take a break, and im not one to ever get sick from rly anything, it was that insane, im so devastated this ride got removed, cuz it was at my home park and it was so insane and i only got to ride it for one year, but i can see why they removed it, it probably only saw 50 riders a day and was an even bigger technical nightmare than Lrod and TTD combined, but still i was so mad, and i was even more furious cuz the park didnt say anything about its removal so i had to go to the park expecting it there and finding it gone, every thoosie with darien lake at their home park worships it tho cuz it was so insane, it was truly a unique and balls to the walls experience that we all miss, and i honestly think its one of the best flats ever to exist
About mechanica. The first season it was very Intensive. There was a warning about it is very Intensive. Now days irs not very Intensive anymore. I liked it more The first (and second) season.
@@808CoasterLife I guess that many was complaining or was to scared to ride it cause of ther forces or/and There was a warning sign. I was AT Liseberg for about 2 weeks ago me and my friends did ride it, but i did not ser any warning sign. I think they removed it but im not 100% sure. They have 3 coaster that many say that they are worlds class. But i dont have anything to compare with. I have watched (RUclips) and read alot about worlds class coaster for over 2 years now. I am very intrested about everything about them. Helix, Mack multilaunch coaster that have elements that you wont find in many parks. Built on side of a Mountain and twisting around another coaster on The mountain. Valkyria, B&M dive coaster that many rank very high cause it dont have any brakes mid course. Balder, an Intamin prebuilt wooden coaster. Have been The best wooden coaster for 2 or 3 years. Many rank Liseberg high. If you havent visited Liseberg, try to go there. It is not The worlds biggest park. They have good coaster and flat rides.
The great thing about Vertigo is that if you easily get nauseous by spinning rides, you won't on Vertigo (the first ride or two) Speaking from own experience
@@808CoasterLife I'm weak to G-forces, so I get a complete grey-out (no vision except maybe outlines) on most of my rides. Some rides, slightly less, but still partial grey-out, and I've had 2 rides without the slightest loss of vision at all (must've eaten right those two days 😂). But blacking out shouldn't be a concern. It doesn't go around in the fast loops for too long. I never blacked out myself, nor have I seen or heard of others getting one on Vertigo. Though, I think I have been close a few times. Fun tip: Try to lift your arms at the bottom of the loops and then let go when they're up. But be careful where they'll land, since you're a guy 😂
@@808CoasterLife it was scary for the hangtime And thats the story of how after 3 years I still havent been on a dropper But in 5 days im going to Great America (IL) and imma do Giant Drop
I've also seen SO MANY slingshots and skycoasters in person but the slingshots legit terrify me and they're expensive and skycoasters are just expensive but I guess I could do it if I really wanted to
If there’s a slingshot nearby, I would be happy to pay however much money they charge. Skycoasters I don’t have as much of a desire to ride but if I have time I’ll definitely do it.
I've been on Vertigo and its crazy. The first half where you spin around is really fun On the second half where it stops spinning and goes into "turbo mode" I legit almost passed out - the forces are so strong and sustained for so long You can also choose to go backwards which apparently is even more intense A truly great but insane ride.
#1 for me has to be the KMG inversion 32. The thing is absolutely massive, and looks to be so much fun. The best flatride I've ridden so far in my life has to be Scream in Heide Park. Literally the most forceful drop tower I've been on, and I heard it's one of the best in the world. but what I love most is any type of Booster, like the one in Energylandia, or any fair for that matter.
I definitely agree with the KMG Inversion 32. Scream looks incredible! And also Speed (KMG’s version of a booster) is my favorite non-drop-tower flat ride.
@@808CoasterLife its drop is very powerful but Lex Luther drop of doom was way more scary. The view of the California mountains was so wild and the drop felt endless I truly believe that ride got me ready for sky diving the 400 foot drop towers are insane because the drop is so long it almost feels like you reach terminal velocity
Airborne is less intense than a Fabbri Booster Maxxx or small KMG booster, the gondolas don't really swing like on other Boosters. I believe it is 62 meters high instead of the claimed 65 meters
Yeah I could tell by looking at the onride. I guess the gondolas don’t swing that much because of how big it is. I really enjoyed my ride on a KMG Speed!
With Phantasialand as practically my home park, I can safely say that Talocan looks much more fun than it is. It has one really good section, where it does 6 rapid spins, but other than that it's more of a show than it is fun to ride.
@@MrPatrickbuit I've ridden it. I love the crazy flips. It's a great show. Sure it's not the most crazy flat ride but it's such an incredible experience
Star shapes aren't intense. The force is in comparison to the Mondial Top Scans nothing. I rode High Energy in Germany iand its definitely no 7€ worth. KMG Speed & KMG Inversion are more intense than the big ones. Sky Coaster are really intense I rode the one in Walibi Holland, ist by far the most extrem Free Fall experience you can find out where Slingshots are also Brutal but most of the time you are going to pay a lot for these rides I paid for both of them 15-18€ each. Its definitely worth to try but not to often if you have to pay.
Yuck, the slingshot is pretty lame. Skycoasters are way better. My 7 year old even said the slingshot was "just ok" after riding. I mean definitely do it once, but it's definitely a once and done for me.
I have ridden Infinity 3 times now (the KMG inversion 24) and yes it is my favorite flat. The hangtime up there is wild. The forces and speed at the bottem are insane. Still blows my mind that thing fits on 4 semi trailers.
Thanks for telling! Infinity looks insane!
I ride skycoasters at any place I am at that has one. SO much fun!! Wildwood, NJ has the one I have ridden by far the most.
I’ve been on the slingshot at Canada’s Wonderland :)
Awesome! It must’ve been very thrilling.
The best skycoaster is at FunSpot Kissimmee Florida. They also have a really good slingshot too!
There is a flatride you neglected. That is the indoor scrambler. These rides are just normal scramblers with a sound and light show to them and they are a blast! The best is Atrosphere at Funtown/Splashtown in Saco Maine. The pov do not do it justice and I could marathon that ride for hours!
I've done an outside scrambler and found them ok but I may be surprised by an indoor one

Great video. Liked it a lot 😄 the editing especially!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I’m glad you think my channel is worth watching!
I would have at least given honorable mention to XCALIBUR , Six Flags St Louis - the only operating Nauta Bussink Evolution (out of a total of three that were built)
Excalibur looks like an insane ride I would definitely do it if I was at the park.
Downdraft at Knoebel's needs to be on your list. It doesn't look like much from the ground, but riding it is INSANE.
Just looked at a POV of it and I agree it actually looks very fun!
A really neat ranking! I don’t have a list right now, but the Fun Spot Skycoaster, Orlando Starflyer, and Vertigo are rides I really want to experience.
Thank you! Those are all very good picks!
Great List, although I would have included the Stan Checketts drop towers.

Those drop towers look great but I never really wanted to ride one of them. On the other hand, Mondial Top Scans look great!
In the netherlands we have a sort of topscan traveling on fairs. It's called Sound Machine and it's absolutely amazing
Universal Studios Hollywood? 2:58
Sometimes I wonder how reliable my revisions really are... I meant Universal Studios Orlando 😂
Talocan is one of the best flat rides I have ever ridden - both for theming and for the intense, unpredictable ride.
Heh - and Vertigo is my other favorite flat ride.
Both look incredible!
