"It feels about as close as you can get to dying on an amusement ride" 🤣

So interesting! I’ve only been on several of these! It’s nice to hear someone else say the carpet rides with only a buzz bar offer a great experience and floater! 🦋

Talocan’s soundtrack compliments the ride. It’s also cool how Phantasialand has 2 soundtracks for Talocan.

I love tik tak and also the whole of tivoli’s atmosphere is just amazing ♡︎

Great list. I love Talocan for its combination of good theming and great cycle, even compared to fairs. I also really love High Energy, the Zierer Star Shape which is what happens when you leave a Top Scan and a Huss Ranger in a candle-lit room together.

Im so glad you really like flat rides besides roller coasters, i really loved this video! 💯

I've been to one of the Tilt-A-Whirl rides with an operator spinning the vehicles on the platform. The G's generated by the fast spins and the loud music really make it such an amazing experience. After the ride you're left confused whether to feel sick or super pumped up!

My favourite flat is an old waltzer which used to go to my local fireworks carnival and it was there for about 3 nights a year. It had 3 operators spinning each car rapidly, with strobe lights and smoke effects, and the ride lasted around 7-10 minutes if it wasn't a busy night. As well as all that, it only cost £1 per ride which was insane

I have always loved Gravitron rides. Over the years they have gone through many names like Starship 2000, 3000, 4000, Flight to Mars, Alien Abduction, Alien Invasion, Area 51, Flying Saucer and others. There’s just something about standing against a padded wall within the confines of a spacecraft and spinning at high speed to lights and music and rising off the floor as you stick to the wall. It’s an especially fun ride if it has a chill operator who doesn’t discourage laying sideways and upside down on the wall.

To me the best flat ride is a Star Flyer. Those rides give incredible views of the parks and the surrounding land and it just gives people a chance to ride a more extreme version of one of their favorite kids rides. Six Flags Great America, Great Escape, Frontier City, Michigan's Adventure, California's Great America, Dorney Park, Hersheypark, Kennywood, Knoebels, Waldameer, Funtown Splashtown U.S.A, Lagoon, Silverwood, Magic Springs, Alabama Adventures, Indiana Beach, Holiday World, and Wild Adventures are just a few of many parks that could really use on of these.

I love flat rides. I don’t like Coasters cuz they make me sick. Love your vids

X scream is actually a clone of a kiddy ride at California's great america I believe

One of my favorites is Xcalibur at Six Flags St. Louis. Unique ride model that's sure to make anyone dizzy

Flyer at Knoebels is my all-time favorite ride. The experience definitely varies depending on the operator. It is amazing, especially how close the trees are. It's a can't miss. I normally hit is 5 to 10 times per visit.

Respect to the Waltzer ride op... that looks like an exhausting gig

Nice list! Enjoyed the video! I’d have to give my list some thought, but off the top of my head I’d have to say, Vomatron old town and the Sling Shot at Darien Lake. That sling shot seems to go higher then the others that I’ve ridden. Plus Zippers and Gravitrons, but only in the 80’s when all the carnies would blast Metal Music during the rides

My personal favorite flat ride is TMNT Shellshock at Nickelodeon Universe Minnesota. The crazy part is I didn’t get a single flip in on my only ride on it, which I wish I rode it more. Just swinging as hard at you can at extreme angles I just feel so at ease while riding. I am dreaming for more of my local parks in the Midwest to add one and if the modern ones allow for easier flipping, then I’ll have an even more incredible time for me!

Great video with nice background music too!

Didn't expect to see a Waltzer on this list 😂

I really enjoy Zippers, it was my first upside down flat ride. I also enjoyed what you call the sky roller at CW, but it was having problems the day of my visit. Finally, I’m a hair surprised that a human gyroscope didn’t make the list.

Right now, CC is clearly the real MVP of amusement park channels

I’m honestly surprised that Flying Aces came to be your top three! With Lagoon being my home park and having several friends operate the ride (I never did as I haven’t worked there yet but I’m planning to), management actually discourages snapping. Though it can depend on who’s operating the ride. Some ops generally don’t care while others do. Out of all the rides I’ve done on it, I’ve managed to get away with snapping give or take maybe 15-20% of the time. I’ve even had a ride op e-stop the ride because a few teens in three of the planes were snapping most of the ride duration of the ride. So consider yourself lucky you got a ride op that let you have fun. Sometimes if you ask nicely, they may sometimes let you. Just make sure they’re not wearing a red or black uniform as those are generally the higher ups. Awesome video and man, I need to get on some of these rides!

Funtown is my home park and I've been riding astrosphere since I was a kid glad to see it made the list!

beast looks absolutely terrifying and I am here for it

I have a clone of flip fly at my local fair and I'm so lucky, my local fair is tiny like 20 rides so its a miracle that they have one of the best flats in the world

You got one lucky visit to Lagoon, because in all my visits the ride ops don't allow snapping.

Really fun to see someone else give that crazy ass Waltzer some praise! I rode it, and i was blowen away by the intensity! Deffenetly the most intense flat i have done. I personally don't count these free fall / bungy rides, but if i did, sky tower in Tivoli Friheden would be number one by a huge shot. I didnt habe any problems with the landing. Here is my top 10 1 Vertigo - Tivoli Gardens 2 Eclipse - Fair ride 3 Infinity - Fair ride 4 Tigeren - Djurs Sommerland 5 Loke - Liseberg 6 Talocan - Phantasialand 7 Dom Dancer - Fair ride 8 Svend Svingarm 9 Pegasus - Tivoli Friheden (defunct) 10 Beast - Fair ride (same model as flip fly)

Not sure if you have ever rode on an extreme/techno power but thats my favorite flat ride. At points it spins so beyond fast your legs feel like they're gonna rip off. Feels like a B&M invert helix that never ends on top of diving down towards the ground quickly

I loved the ride that was the same model as Flip Fly! For the rocking portion, it felt like either my legs were being ripped off or I was trying to be ejected from the OTSR or in other words my face felt like it was being pulled to the platform. It is my favorite ride ever!

I got to go to Tivoli Gardens in 2019 and let me tell you, I'm glad Tik Tak is on this list. I have never gotten dizzy or got scared I might lose my lunch until I got on this ride. Plus it's one that you can make more intense by rocking back and forth. Truly insane flat ride. Also, I unfortunately didn't get to go on Vertigo because it had an insanely long line but I watched it several times and GOOD LORD. It looks like it was designed by a madman. Props to Tivoli for really going for it.

My favorite flat ride is defunct sadly but it was maelstrom at moreys piers I don't even know what that ride was but wow I miss it so much

My favorite flat was twister at Darien lake, I still can’t believe how insane that cycle was

My favourite flat ride is a flyable. It's sad the attraction is extinct as well as the park at where it's located. :(

I love the KMG XXL rides. I'd have also included the KMG Infinity and Booster Maxx

My favourite flat ride is the J.A O'brien's flash dancer waltzer at pleasureland arbroath as it has recently been going faster with a smoke machine, lazers and tons of other lightning effects

My Kennywood ride made this video 0:05 i like the Aero 360 However one day i went back in 2019 I still go alot it was closed because someone got sick on that ride it was the same day again The Phantom Coaster one of the 2 Carts got stuck at the top the green one did the same one it did a few years ago.

I’m kind of old school and like rides that are no longer around. Both XK-1 and Tampico Tumbler at Knott’s Berry Farm were two of my favorites. Of course being that XK-1 was taken out for a drop dower, you’d probably like that better..lol.

Personal favorite flat rides (in no particular order) 1) "Magnum" [MN State Fair] - a typical 'Shake', but this is the only place I've been to that has it, and I LOVE all the motions and flipping! 2) "Space Roller" [MN State Fair, Meadowlands State Fair] - a typical 'Top Scan', but again, I LOVE how this ride runs! 3) "Spinout" [various carnivals; 'Maelstrom' at Morey's Pier] - another personal favorite, though I haven't seen it at a carnival in some time, and Morey's Pier recently removed theirs. 4) "Enterprise" [various locations] - a classic flat ride, but one I have a hard time locating these days, particularly one that allows single riders (the one at the Meadowlands State Fair insists on two people per car) 5) "Zipper" [various locations] - another classic, and another ride that's hard to get on without someone to ride with. 6) "Centrifuge" [Casino Pier, Seaside Heights NJ] - an in-the-dark Scrambler, and my favorite such ride of all time. The original was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy, but Casino Pier recently got a new one. Awesome ride! 7) "Musik Express" [various locations] - I just love the ride, but NOT the Wisdom version (too flat); best IMO is the Reverchon 'Himalaya' model; these days, the only one I've been on of this type is at the Meadowlands State Fair ... and it goes forwards only. (Long ago, this verison was at Seaside Heights ... and it ran a LONG cycle, both ways.) 8) "Breakdance" - love the ride, but I haven't seen one since both Morey's Pier and Coney Island removed theirs.

I really like the Chance Rides Unicoasters like Octotron at Belmont Park. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of drop towers, but the S&S ones are very fun

Two great flat rides you missed were A) the old Matterhorn Bob sled ride at Canobee. That thing ran itself into the ground with how fast it went, and I have yet to experience anything like that on any other version of that ride. The other one you missed was the Turkish twist. One of the last Rotors in the world, and just an all out insane experience. Especially with that viewing spot on top of the ride so you can see exactly what you are getting into... The first time i rode that, I made use of the trashcan in front of it...

An impressive list. I’d suggest you compare notes with Diary of a Roller Coaster Girl (a fellow youtuber). She’s an aficionado of flat rides.

nice video. please pov and review desert storm at castles n coasters

I have never been on Zipper Zipper is on my Bucket list

Wow ! I like Flying Aces too, but not that much.

Anyone who likes Skater should try Weber's Airwolf (Sky Control). It is basically the same ride base, but with only two flipping gondolas, mounted opposite each other. Biggest advantage: It's not as hard on the knees.

Squadron 33 is so much fun and that hangtime is absolutely insane

Wow I think that’s the same conestoga that was Hershey Park years ago.

Flatrides in the US look cool, but especially in the big parks they are badly operated. For example the Tourbillon. Looks great from the outside, the ride itself is pretty boring. My favorites are Hi-Roller at funfairs in the US, Vertigo at Tivoli Kopenhagen, AirWolf at German funfairs (like Soaring Timbers, but with a way better program), Dragon Wrestling Tournament and Dragon Riders (sic!) at Legendia, but i think the last 2 are defunct.

My town's amusement Park has a waltzer ride where there's usually 2-3 people on the track spinning the seats

I went on the waltzer on south pier last year, I go to blackpool every year for a day out to pleasure beach but last year we went to stay at the Big Blue hotel, on the first day we got there we did ripleys believe it or not coral island and the pier, we went on it right after ice cream, probably not a good idea, never felt sick or anything but it still wasn’t a good idea… Also, it gets your stomach *quite a bit*

Knoebels certainly has the best flyers. Our favorite flat is MAXAIR at Cedar Point. Kris makes me ride that at least 5 times a visit.

My old home park had a huss rainbow that had a single position lap bar and for the edge seats had a side bar you could hold on to it when I rode it I was four and hated it but a few years later when I came back that ride was gone it was called Carreta Descabotada and it ran for 16 years

I've been on a zamperla power surge before and I have to tell you that is one intense ride.

Have you been on a satori rides roto techno they’re really similar to vodo jump and have a really intense cycle if you haven’t gotten on one they operate in Spanish fairs and they’re pretty easy to find there

I LOVE THE ZIPPER

"Toxic" looks pretty insane, u should try it

Sledge Hammer at Canada's Wonderland is one my favourites!

Flat rides aren’t my thing. I can go on ANY coaster but i hate flat rides since they can do anything 😂

I can’t believe I never knew about “snapping” that looks insanely fun.

My top 5: 1) Infinity - Traveling 2) Propeller - Traveling 3) Konga - Traveling 4) Voodoo Jumper - Traveling 5) Talocan Phantasialand

In my Top 5 (in no particular order): Soriani & Moser “Extasy” Energy Storm 5 (Mighty Bluegrass Shows) 🇺🇸 Technical Park “Delusion” Pegasus 16 (Dreamland Amusements) 🇺🇸 Technical Park “Superman 360” Street Fighter Revolution (Dreamland Amusements) 🇺🇸 Mondial “Magnum” Shake R5 (Wood Ent) 🇺🇸 Tivoli “Techno Power” Remix 6 Arm (Wood Ent) 🇺🇸

Flyingcircus was the best at now defunct vidampark hungary. Really one of a kind

My favourite flatrides are found on the European fairs and are the next rides: Ghostrider Infinity from Hoefnagels Nightfly ( is a topspin ride in germany) Air from Dante ( UK ride and starshape) Move it 32 Take Off Enterprise (this is the only ride that is no more on fairs) Inversion xxl

Next time your in the UK try to get on atmosphere creator waltzer if you can at night. It's has the best lights I have ever seen on any ride and it has really loud hardcore rave music and one of the fastest cycles I have ever had on any waltzer.

I love kmg speed most and then kmg inversion, technical park loop fighter and mondial top scan

Good list, but it really hurt me that you put The Beast at 25. We've got The Beast travelling the shows In Australia. I'm glad that you guys in America have one though :) My favourite flat ride would either be X Scream Soundwave Waltzer, No Limit (Mondial Furiozo), The Beast (KMG XXL), XXXL (KMG Inversion), Freak Out with lap bar and Fury (Funtime Chaos Pendle)

Ive been been to one of these break dance things but it was named crazy dance, i rode it with my cousin and bro near the corner it swings you so hard i hit my temporal bone i was almost passing out my vision even blacked out a bit for the next 3 minutes

The zipper was in the same scene as the roller coaster accident on final destination 3

Personally, I'm not a fan of flat rides!!! However, my family is obsessed with scramblers for some reason! Also, I've never ridden any big drop towers over 30 feet... I'm afraid of heights! (That's why)

I love #16 park love going there some much fun #1 i so want to ride because its so close to my original home

I’ve been on 25, 24, 22, 14, 13 but at a different park, 7, 4 and 3 at a different park, 2 at a different park and also a Suspended Top Spin but The Crypt at Kings Dominion

im pretty familiar with top scans and i agree that its an awesome ride, the first time i did it i was pretty young, and i kept being pushed to the over side of the seat, so a kid vomited on the second cycle on the seat next to me and it started raining so we had to get off, we got a free ticket and rode it again, this time it was much more intense, since the gondolas were at full swing, the way how fast we rotated was so intense, it slowed down and then i got flipped upside down for 5 SECONDS straight, definitely gave a lot of hangtime, unfortunately the carnival is only open druing summer between 2 july and 16 or 15 august, so i have to wait till next year

Yup the walters in Blackpool are amazing !

Great list dude! BTW do you have a top 25 theme park shows video?

Nobody talks about wipeout at knoebels. Besides drop towers it's the most intense flat ride I've ridden. It spins ridiculously fast the entire ride, and the sustained laterals physically drained me. The ride op had the cycle go for nearly 5 minutes, I'm pretty sure he was trying to make us vomit. I don't get nauseous on rides, but I was so dizzy after the ride that I couldn't find the exit. It's really insane for a park like Knoebels

5:10 Technically these are Gerstlauer Sky Flys, and this 5:23 is a Sky Roller. Sky Flys have the diagonal swooping motion, while Sky Rollers circle around horizontally. I haven't been on a Sky Roller, but a Sky Fly; it was pretty hard to flip.

I agree with number 1 One hundred percent I rode it for my birthday

We visited lake Winnie every year when I was a kid the Conestoga ride scared me to death I thought I was going to fall out lol

#15 looks cool I do that one🤣

Vertigo made me, a Swede, wish I was Danish. It's that unbelievably good.

I rode a waltzer recently and due to my weight I didn’t stop spinning and felt as if my cart was about to fly off it’s axis

I Love The Looping Starships.

I've been on the Blackpool walzers and it's insane

Where do rides like a Flying Coaster Flat Ride, a Screaming Swing, a Bayern Kurve, or a Zamperla Sky Hawk tank?

Top Scan at my home park is crazy, when it stops at the top and spins, and then it stops, so if you got lucky you will be stuck upside down for a good minute

Ouu i live in MyrtleBeach! The beast is such a great ride!

What about the S&S Screamin Swing? Skyhawk at Cedar point was phenomenal for me

Chance zippers are OP AF

my favorite flat ride is Adrenaline Test Zone at Callaway Park

1:50 I've been on that. it was scary

My first time ridding a Zipper was horrible I had to do it with a kid and he wouldn’t stop screaming and yelling but the second time a few years ago was a lot more fun

1:00 the 1 in the back, what's that called? I thought I made it up

i had the exact same experience on waltzer, it was run by this crazy Spaniard and he didn't show any mercy

How many frisbee rides did you come off sick or queasy? Examples:

Hey is a music express ride a flat ride and a bertazzon rock n roll ride

Have you ever been on a Huss Magic/Circus Circus or a Flying Circus (van orsouw) or the original KMG Move-it 32 ?? We use to have crazy machines here in NL/EU. They really messed up your equilibrium :)

What about the inverter chance ride

I'd like to see the Chance Turbo make a comeback, simple geometry producing extreme disorientation.

'feels like your legs are getting ripped off'......'closest feeling to almost dying' and 'cycle was almost 8 minutes long' ......... are NOT things I look for in a ride haha!

Him: the ride Loke Me: hm? Loki??
