Alright this could be any flat that has been at GADV.

Mine would have to be Jumpin Jack Flash. It was an amazing ride that always got my adrenaline pumping. Coming in a close behind was the Cows when they first debuted.

My favorite had to be JJF as well, good times. My favorite that is still here is Space Shuttle

i thikn my favorite flatride of all time is the gravitron. its just so, amazing. And you know, im pretty sure we dont have one. ALthough maybe taz twister was? I never got to ride it.

Out of ours, im going to have to go with pendy. I loved that ride.

I was a fan of Joust A-bout and the Space Shuttle/ Looping Starship. Iam not a big fan of spinning rides and stick to Drop Towers and water rides. If I had to choose a flat ride today not at Sfgadv, I would ride the Claw/Revolution or Da Vinci's Cradle. Ok , back on topic :My final pick would go to the Buccaneer.

Tas was a Turkish Twist, centrifuge ride, just like the gravitron. The difference between that, gravitron, and the fantacy fling is that the Turkish Twist has a floor that drops and straight walls, Gravatron has slightly tilted walls that IIRC slide upwards a bit, and Fantacy Fling tilts. Same principle, three different deliveries.

Hmm, right now I'd have to go with Bucaneer as well. I love how it makes my little guys giggle

If I could pick from rides from the past, I'd have to say a tie between our old Bayern Curve called Swiss Bobs and the El Sombrero/Trabant.

WadeJ · « **Reply #6 on:** December 12, 2005, 09:41:19 AM »

For me, without a doubt it would Pendulum.

KingdaKaRuler05 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 12, 2005, 12:38:04 PM »

I'm going to go with the Cows. They were just awesome when they were at high speed. I'm going to miss them

I remember going on them for the first time and thinking they were just a kiddie ride. Wow, I was wrong. The Cows blew me away!

Actually, Taz is a Chance Rotor, classic one too, not many of them left. Turkish Twist is also a Rotor, but made by a company called SDC. It is a much newer ride, and does have some differences.

I won't say what my favorite flat is now, it will likely get removed then

My pendy oh long live pendy! A piece of me died with its departure.

Dubya91 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 26, 2005, 02:06:54 AM »

Well, I havent rode the flats that were removed (excluding chaos) unfortanately for me so my favorite flat would have to be Chaos, that flat was great and I enjoyed it! R.I.P. Chaos, you will be missed! A close 2nd place would be Stuntman's FreeFall

What really is my favorite flat is the S&S towers in the park that I am dreaming

Welcome to Updates Yanks!

Since I never answered what my favorite flat was, it was The Pendulum when it was with us.

NYRfan85 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 26, 2005, 11:49:37 PM »

Hmm, there have been so many of my favorite flats taken away from us. :cry: But my all-time favorite flat at GAdv has to be Jumpin' Jack Flash. That was the most intense, insane flat ever at the park! It was very long too, and I just couldn't get enough of that sheer speed and intensity in the long period of time.

I sure miss it though...

chilled182 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 27, 2005, 12:22:06 AM »

oy, still a rangers fan. sigh. Its good to see you here though.

personally, i think the flyers belong in first place :wink:

I have never gotten the chance to ride JJR but i keep hearing people say how great it is. What was it?

NYRfan85 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 27, 2005, 01:23:50 AM »

Heh, yeah, I'm still the die-hard Rangers fan. :wink:

This is JJF:

It was so much fun, but it suffered from SERIOUS downtime.

Nozzy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 27, 2005, 08:43:36 AM »

I agree with JJF, I looked forward to the 4th of July week when it always seemed to be open, although I took my cousin on it enough times in one day that she never wanted to go on again. Other than that Pendulum, only better since never any lines and open the whole season. Now, I don't go on our flats regularly, just on days with other people who want to ride them or if there's not a line for them while everything else is mobbed, but I'll say Teacups.

chilled182 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 27, 2005, 10:43:55 AM »

Ohh i remember what it looks like now. I walked by it but never bother to ask or look because it was always down in that unload position and i really didnt care for it much because i had never seen it run before anyway.

no wonder ive never gotten the chance to ride a jump or a jump2.

WadeJ · « **Reply #17 on:** December 27, 2005, 10:47:20 AM »

I actually sorta liked JJF but I remember getting all excited when it was finally going to coming out because I thought Dream Street would return to its former glory and unobstructed view. Then the paintball game showed up

I'd almost rather see JJF SBNO now.

JJF was a cool ride but the hard plastic seats hurt my back.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #18 on:** December 27, 2005, 11:38:03 AM »

Rant : I freaking hate that paintball building too.

OK Back on topic please.

Ok, while we are on quick rants.. I am going to MISS the Foggy bridge AGAIN next Frightfest! That was one of my favorite things at FF and this year it just wasn't the same!....

I wonder where they will put the Giant spider this year.. Would be cool if it climbed up the side of Torro like they do with SFMM's Collosus.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #20 on:** December 27, 2005, 12:05:17 PM »

That would be cool. I am surprised not all Six Flags do that. SFAW did the same thing.

sorry for being off topic AGAIN!!

I like the Space Shuttle when I feel completely secured.

DianaR · « **Reply #21 on:** December 27, 2005, 12:10:14 PM »

I will request this next time I see Kristen LOL! She'll think I have gone totally mad!

Speaking of JJF, I have some really nice pictures of it I'll have to scan.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #22 on:** December 27, 2005, 12:17:04 PM »

^ Remember It's Kristin with an "I" . Then again you've been friends longer so I guess you could spell it anyway you like :lol:

Another Flat I like is Musik Express. If I keep going off topic I'm going to run out of flats since they keep leaving.

DianaR · « **Reply #23 on:** December 27, 2005, 12:20:15 PM »

Well, Musik express better NOT leave but, I really wish they'd use the music booth and bring it back to it's former glory! I forget but, Did Taz Twister get relocated or is that also gone forever? That's the only ride to ever make me hurl! :shock: I am afraid I will only feel bad for those who actually liked it lol.

innervision · « **Reply #24 on:** December 27, 2005, 12:28:16 PM »

I have not heard one mention of Taz Twister. I hope it stays because I'm not sure if ive ever ridden it or not. :lol:
