To clarify: The ride model is just called the "Speed," but certain installations are named "Speed XXL." When I researched this, the page made it sound like "Speed XXL" was the name of the model and not just that specific installation. The footage shown in this video is not of the specific ride named "Speed XXL", but the model is exactly the same.
Also, the Inversion 24's gondolas are capable of unlocking and rotating freely. However, regulations prevent them from unlocking at the top height. So most operators leave them locked throughout the ride cycle. Every clip of the ride I've seen shows them staying locked during the whole ride. But apparently, some operators will unlock them. Its just rare
Yeah. And unfortunately, there is no point. When the Infinity was still in its early years, operators stated in an interview that the gondolas will eventually flip when released, like you mostly get on Inversion 12s. However, the gondolas are way too heavy and since German regulation prohibits them from unlocking them at full power (since you could hypothetically flip upside down at the loading station and experience an honestly red-out inducing -5G, the operators don't even bother anymore. It is what it is.
Suggestion: tips to get over your fear of roller coasters.
Hey Theme Park Crazy, I hate to correct your great work, but Serengeti Flyer at Busch Gardens Tampa stole the record of tallest and fastest Screamin' Swing from Tidal Surge. Keep the wonderful videos coming!
@@thenerdyenthusiast Technically they tied the record, so now two SeaWorld parks have it : ).
@@A7x_Forever Tundra Twister does this, albiet rarely. One time when I rode it, the gondola didn't flip at the bottom and I blacked out completely (I was on the wing seat)
The zipper has always been my favorite ride at my local fair. I love how unpredictable it is and the amount of force pulled on you at each turnaround is insane. It's a bit harder to ride now as an adult but it doesn't stop me.
Haha glad I wasn’t the only one to mention the zipper. That is one ride I have never gotten back on. As a kid my brother whom was 5yrs older than me got us spinning so fast it flung me out of the seat and buckles and I tumbled around the cage until the ride stopped. I was covered in bruises for weeks and broke my pinky finger.
Hell yeah! If Im driving along and see a carnival and it has a Zipper, I pull over and hop on (okay I've done that two or three times, but I always at least think about doing it every carnival I see lol). I challenge you next time you're driving along and see a carnival, stop what you are doing and hop on. It can only make your day better, even if you're a few minutes late to what you were on your way to do.
@@Crafting_Through_Life OMG that's crazy! I went on that once and never again!
You know it's a good day when theme park crazy uploads.
Yeh

Big facts
Too right
For a long time, I was unable to go on thrill rides because there was a ride named the "Booster" at my local fair. It was the first time that I went on a ride that made you go upside down. Unfortunately, I got stuck on the ride upside down for over 20 minutes, and I panicked. For years, I refused to go on any ride, but thankfully, now I'm okay.
Omg that sounds like a nightmare! Glad you're ok!
@@alliekuma4234I agree
Was that booster a KMG Speed XXL by any chance?
@@NathanHydra yes it was
@@FXwashere yeah those have the tendency to do that

The Zipper was my mother’s favourite carnival ride. As a kid I would have wanted the new restraints on the Zipper than the ‘classic’ mode. For my first time on this ride, I felt very uncomfortable with holding onto nothing BUT the bar. After I got off it I told my mom how rough and intense it felt. She said that it’s an older ride that got a more rough over time. Little did I know that the Zipper, out of 30 other thrill rides is considered to be the MOST INTENSE!
Yes, I was surprised to see that as well! I thought I was just a wuss by doing the zipper once and then vowing Never Again!!
Me too, but I 3 times and it was terrifying.
The Zipper is such a classic. So many people say it’s their first big thrill ride!
i freaking love the Zipper. but the problem is they don't allow single riders :(
I’m the exception. Mine was a Vekoma SLC.
I remember crying my eyes out because I was too small to ride the Zipper at my local carnival. The following year I was tall enough...and instantly regretted it. My dad had the operator spin it as soon as we got on it and little Meg almost lost her funnel cake! Lol. Another great memory I have with my daddy. :)
Honorable mention: the pirate ship 😂
Honorable mention: Double ferris wheel (if you can still find one). Last sighted at a carnival in Florida.
Big agree on that Zipper, when you hit the corner while it's spinning, it basically whip-cracks your whole body and force spins your goldola, absolutely intense. Love it.
Dude I love your style and all of the references, puns, and jokes you put in! Amazing work man!
Glad you enjoy it!
11:45 ‘The kind of the ride you’d expect to see at the gathering of the Juggalos.’ I’m weak 😂😂
I love the Zipper! The best is when everything lines up just right and your gondola hurtles toward the ground face first only to whip around at the last second. So much fun!
Personally I find the Roundup super chill. No fear just vibes.
Right? Same for Gravitron in my opinion.
same
agree
Same
It's been a long time since I've ridden Roundup, but I remember once the turntable fully lifted, it was a very hypnotic back and forth motion. If I closed my eyes, I could almost fall asleep.
I rode the zipper with a girl I liked because she liked thrill rides. I hadn't been on anything even close to that before and screamed so loud, she was embarrassed for me. Oh well.
That’s the biggest Womp Womp
My county fair has it every year without fail since I was knee high to a grasshopper.....
I've never had the nerve to step foot on it. 😢
Your jokes ARE getting better! The gathering of the juggalo one was good, and true.. Another good vid. Love to see people grow, not that I didn't think you were good or not funny, you're just getting even better. Props
I love these videos!
Awesome video!!
Great video peter!
I've been riding the Zipper since 2010 and till this day, it is STILL my No.1 favorite flat ride of all time. And seeing it made 1st place on this list really makes me happy. 😁
I have done a lot of the rides on this list, and some are at the top of my bucket list. The world of flat rides is a world I would love to know every single part of, and experience as much as I can. Great video!
Yeah, flat rides do deserve more attention or love🤘🏻
@@BassGuitarSlide it's always rollercoasters that get talked about but fairground rides are severely underrated in terms of forces, spectacle and experience
My one ride on the Zipper at my county fair was the single most terrifying experience I’ve ever had on an amusement ride, glad to see I’m far from the only one
I feel like it's a right of passage to ride the Zipper at least once. I rode one time as a kid, and I was so scared that I never went on it again
@@princesskristanso true! I chickened out so many times as a kid but finally did it and remember screaming my face off 😂
@@angelicajacobs584 I went on it when I was 7 with I think my cousin, and I almost cried lol
For years, that ride taunted me as it loomed in the distance at my local state fair. I’ve always looked at it as kid and I finally rode it as an adult ….never again lol
Same!@@princesskristan
WOW!! I love this video! I'm all pumped and ready for the State Fair. I want to ride all of them. Thanks for this:)
I like when theme park crazy uploads videos about flat rides :D
I suggested this earlier, but I’d love to see you do a video related to Theme Park Related Lost media
That's an amazing idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
I can't tell you how excited I was to hear you call the spaceship ride Gravitron!!! So many people I have encountered don't remember the original name. When I was younger, Gravitron floors dropped out!! Most people don't remember that detail either.
I do! Before the Clay County Fair here in Green Cove Springs, Florida which takes place every late March, early April renamed their Gravitron, Starship 2000, its floor dropped out.
Was my favorite as a child, and still til this day!!
I remember riding a zipper, it was the closest I ever got to greying out, it was INSANE.
Wow great video man
Love the S&S Swing, more parks need these.
LET'S GO FINALLY ANOTHER FLAT RIDE VIDEO
I just LOVE the Gravitron. It's not particularly intense imo but the fabulous interior, the gravity pushing you down to the bed as you feebly play with resisting physics, and the cozy nature of the spinning makes it fun at all levels any day or night.
ZIPPER NUMBER ONE BABY!!! It's my favorite flat for a reason! 🔥
Great video compilation! I love flat rides!
Great video
These ride models are INSANE!
Thanks for this great video!
For me, flat rides (especially the thrilling ones) are equally as interesting as roller coasters - and I always appreciate it, when these attractions get some love 😊
There are so many of these I would love to ride and I always love It when you upload as I love your content so much
This video is awesome
Thanks for sharing awesome content that is fun enjoyable and entertaining to watch
Glad to know I've done many of the top 30, but many more to go.
#1 is rightfully deserved! I’ve been obsessed with that ride since i was 8, I was so fascinated by it as a kid.
I'm a fan of the Zipper, TPC! I love your videos.
I love that Slegehammer is on this list.....my fav flat ride at Wonderland!! 🥰
I rode a Speed XXL model once and never again. My ride in particular got the short end of the stick, and the weight distribution was probably the worst it could be. Every time we came around back down to Earth, my seat rotated facing the ground, and continuing to face the ground, including through the transition of going back up. So, I was getting pushed into my harness pretty hard and clinching my legs into the seat to keep me from sliding forward. Every single time lol.
I would imagine how bad that would be I went on a ride with 5 teens on one me and 2 other kids on the other. We where upside down the whole time.
Scat2 at Beech Bend in Kentucky is by far the most intense flat ride we've encountered. The crushing positive g's make it feel as if there's a rhinoceros sitting on your chest for 3 minutes straight!
The Haunted Mine Drop at Glenwood Caverns is a close second, but there was a tragic accident on it just 2 weeks after we last rode it, and its future is still uncertain as far as we've heard.
The ride has reopened as Crystal Tower with a new theme, fully enclosed gondola, and car-style seat belts that riders are not allowed to buckle themselves.
I love this video
I went on 1: top scan, known as Samurai at lagoon; 2: Top-flip, known as cliff hanger at lagoon; 3: gravatron: 4: the zipper.
I was extremely surprized they were on this list, let alone all in top11. I was thrilled by the suggestions of other rides.
The Zipper is indeed intense the main thing that sucks is when your not moving and just rocking back and forth as another cage is being loaded/unloaded. I did it one time at the Jacksonville, Florida Fair, knocked it off my bucket list but never again! That feeling in your stomach when your rocking back and forth is not worth it in my opinion.
Hey the not moving part is fun xd you can do flips and stuff "i was on the unharnessed one!"
csn we appreciate the effort put into this video for a moment
Flipping awesomeness!
I rode the Zipper last year at the Orange County Fair and it was terrifying. Definitely not a beginner friendly ride.
🛸Gravitron is easily my favorite carnival flat ride since childhood for its UFO appearance and it's surprisingly relaxing for a fast-paced flat ride.
I adore your crazy flat ride content. Flat rides are so much more exciting and unique than rollercoasters imo. There's so much room for creativity!!
Na
Absolutely loved the Rotor at Riverside/ Six Flags New England back in the day!
Ahhh yes, the Zipper, I remember when I first went on the Zipper. It took me like five minutes to decide to get on lol, but after I got on, I loved it! The forces it pulls is unlike anything I have ever ridden.
In case this comment makes through the shoutout section, I'd just wanna let you guys know that we are getting our first B&M coaster here in Brazil and our RCCA is soon going to get a RMC makeover, all in the next 5 years. Even tho it's only a dive coaster, that's still a huge staple for us brazilian enthusiasts. Keep that great work TPC, much love from the Federal District of Brazil!
(Also Monte Makaya and SFOG's Deja Vu are confirmed to reopen in Mirabilandia Brazil around 2025)
MONTEZUM GETTING RMC'ED?
@@nobodybelievesunderscores4122 yep, one of Hopi Hari's owners said in an event that they just need to refurbish the other aspects of the park first (which will happen until 2025) and then they will contact RMC to do the job!
@@tufab3494 LETSGOOOOOO
@@tufab3494 how many RCCA's will that leave in operation then?
DEJAVU FROM SFOG BEING REBUILT AFTER LIKE 15 YEARS AFTER IT WAS TORN DOWN? LET'S GOOOO
YEAAA GRAVITRON!! i love the gravitron
Thank you for posting the I miss a lot of the flat rides as it seems like most of the amusement parks just have roller coasters now and we can find these rides at carnivals and fairs. I've been on majority of the ones mentioned in the video flat right as I love them.
the silly disclaimer at the beginning is funny, i do find myself feeling sick watching some ride povs XD i still love them though!
I'm disappointed that the Rock-o-Plane isn't on here. They're absolutely insane.
I was disappointed as well, I think that it is way more insane than rides like the Round Up.
11:01 Jump2 straight up, gives me Claws of Doom from Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 vibes
The Gravitron might be my favorite flat ride ever, so glad to see it place highly. Anyone else wish they could have the aux cord when you get on though? What a cool DJ Set to play in.
I have been on the speed xxl before it was crazy but fun 😄👍
The sky roller version at canada's wonderland is my absolute favorite ride. I get motion sick easily but for some reason it leads into the top speed so smoothly it feels amazing
I work on the space roller and was good to see you added the one I work on in Australia
Imagine someone riding all of these inane rides without getting dizzy.
The Tivoli Warps and Northern amusements superstar are pretty intense funfair rides as well. My favourite are probably the inversion 360 and top scans
These are all so dizzying! I could never 😵
I went on the round up with a friend, it was absolute madness. A ride that I had never expected to go on and I loved it. I do think it was a bit long though, got a little bit uncomfortable near the end. I would still recommend it’s a great laugh 😂
Before I rode Rebuliço, the newest Zamperla's Air Race in Beto Carrero World, Huss' Top Spin was my favorite flat ride. Even though the only one I rode, Hopi Hari's Ekatomb, don't operates at full cycle, with three spins at most, I still found out way too thrilling. Unfortunately, it's the only one in Brazil as well.
The other ride I rode on this list was Top Scan. When I was visiting Knott's Berry Farm, my mom wanted to ride Sol Spin. I asked her if she was sure of that, and she said "yeah, let's go". She though it was a gentle ride. At the first spin, she yelled really loud that I couldn't help laughing at her! I did not enjoy the ride per se, but her reaction worth it!!
It's always an extra epic day when my boy TPC posts a video
I could live on the Remix, I love it, you love it, WE ALL LOVE IT
I went on the rotor when I went to luna park during my summer deployment! Very fun!
just seeing these attractions on the video give me chills as i were on each one of them... one day i will ride it all!
The Kriss Kross reference (jump) AWESOME 🎉
I have the fortunate distinction of riding the Zipper. It's truly the most intese experiece i ever witnessed.
The Jump 2 looks so much fun! I've been on something similar at a place called John's Incredible Pizza Company, but it was smaller, and it was one of my favorites things to do whenever i went
the ride are fun 😍
Been on the zipper once as a teenager…. And that was enough for me!! It was more terrifying than the Doppel Looping. It was a staple of the Canadian National Exhibition in the 90’s. It was a simple double looping coaster but it only had a metal restraint bar… that was it. No seatbelts… just the bar.
At Six Flags Magic Mointain and many other parks, the "Rotor" was known as "Spin Out". The empty space where it once stood is still visible in the park if you are across from the Gold Rusher and about to trek up that hill. You can look to your right and it's near the empty unused gazebo thing that used to serve as the lower station for the defunct Dragon ride (it was a transport ride that would get you up that side of the hill; the upper station is now used for Ninja).
My experiences:
• The Remix is just insane. My feet start tingeling because the blood rushed down there. Very very fast ride.
• The Star Shapes weren't all that intense. I rode the one at Skyline Park and the traveling one "High Energy" in germany. They are nice and comfy and not really that fast, but pleasent! The new brakes in the gondolas are just a dealbreaker for me. Now they are reeeeaaaally slow. Look at "Air" from the UK with the inner seats missing, almost no swinging occurs.
• The Rocket was nice, but repetetive. Rode it on the Oktoberfest. A more thrilling version of a Starflyer pretty much, but the flipping is at a more graceful pace for more hangtime. I rode it while it was raining like crazy, but still very fun.
• Yeah the KMG speeds are awesome. I prefer the Booster Maxx models by Fabbri (why listed below).
• The Top Scan has to be my fav. The laterals in the outer seat are unmatched. My face is glued to the restraint. This is just crazy. the "Skater" on german fairs cranks it up to the max everytime.
• Maybe I'm just used to the Top Spins because I've ridden them a ton, but I don't find them all that intense anymore. We have 2 traveling in germany and one suspended one at Phantasialand. Awesome, but the traveling ones have very uncomfortable restrains. Also I prefered the Top Spin 2 models. They are smaller, but the flipping is crazy fast. Best: KMG Discovery 1.0.
• The Capriolo 10P is a mixed bag. I actually prefer the older models without the extra spin. It always feels like you crash head first down which is more terrifying to me personally. But I have to say: These were the most intense negative g's I've ever experienced. My head wanted to pop after 3 rides in a row. This is like the Top Scan no joke. You really should be in a good condition when riding these.
• The Inversion 24 is fun, but goes only upside down once. ONCE. It just takes so long and needs so much power to get up there. The positives are good, though.
• I have to disagree with the HUSS Booster: It does not feel like a Mondial shake, not at all. A shake really feels like a breakdance thanks to it's aditional axis of rotation and it is a LOT tamer than the Booster. The laterals are insane. One moment you're upright, the other moment you get flug upside down instantly. The sideways swinging also can give some awesome airtime when everything is right.
• The Rotor is advertised as a family ride in germany on the Oktoberfest. The laughing from people who never tried it before (mostly tourists) is always a joy to watch.
- Rides which could be on the list for next time:
• Soriani & Moser Top Star Tour. I rode Predator in germany. Not only does it look impressive, the negative g's when it flips back to normal are shockingly strong. I didn't expect that.
• Technical Park Pegasus models. Great speed, great laterals and pretty much the same amount of flipping as with a top scan. The op can lock the gondolas at the top so you blast though the station upside down for some wicked negative g's. My fav. with the Top Scan.
• Mondial Heartbreaker. Not the most intense, but lots of flipping on a very small footprint. Really really fun!
• Huss Take Off. The ones on germany still go full speed. Heavy positive g's like a never ending pretzel loop.
• Fabbri Contact. Really heavy positive g's and laterals. Really odd looking, but man what an odd but intense experience.
• Fabbri Heavy Rotation. Also really insane positive's in your back and very fast spinning. Similar forces to the Take Off.
• Fabbri Booster Maxx 55/16. Really really fast and crushing positives.
I case you the reader didn't notice: I love flat rides and I rode them pretty much all my life. If you made it to the end here: respect mate.
Wow! Ich wusste gar nicht dass Phantasialand einen Top Spin hat. Und beim MONDIAL Booster stimme ich voll zu. Komplett anders als ein Shake. Habe im Kommentar gerade geschrieben, dass leider der HUSS Devil Rock, MONDIAL Airwolf und der frühere MEL PARK Vortex nicht dabei waren. Haben schon Glück in Deutschland mit den flat rides. Für eine Fahrt im Speed flip würde ich auch mal ins Nachbarland reisen.😊 😊😊😊
@@AGdnr
Der Top Spin im Phantasialand ist wirklich legendär. Tolle Deko, viel Show und er gibt Gas.
Booster: Ich meinte wie im Video den Huss Booster, das Rundfahrgeschäft.
Top Star Tour and Pegasus for the WIN
@@MrMakoFL I love both of them. Especially the travelling ones.
I definitely used to turn myself upside down in the Gravitron. Lol My stomach couldn't handle these rides now but all of them look insanely fun!! The Zipper was the only ride to make me cry. I was 11 lol
I've actually been on Sledgehammer a few times, I never realized it was that rare of a design. It sort of surprises me because it's a really good ride.
I been on it back in 2012 and I did like it. I wanted to ride it again in 2019 but mechanical problems with the ride prevented it lol.
@cursedstevehalloweenandgam1037 Yeah, during my stays there, there are usually a lot of maintenance issues with it, but it's always great when I can get at least one ride in!
The zipper was the first upside down roller coaster I’ve ever been on. It’s amazing. I had a big lunch and I threw up almost immediately after I still wanna ride it again
Time machine is definitely worthy of the list, I have ridden it a couple of times and yes it is a hell of a ride, even the footage makes me feel nauseous.
Must pop down for another go 🤪
I use to work at adventure Island the time machine is extremely fun
The Top Scan (Samurai) was one of the first thrill rides I remember from growing up close to Lagoon. It helped me gain an appreciation for thrilling flat rides, and sparks the adventurous nature in me.
Hi TPC, loving the content as always.... I was wondering if you could do a video for thrilling rides built before 1950s? I'm really curious about how intense they were able to make rides back in the day (I know that video will likely be challenging to do).
That’s an awesome idea!
Did not expect Gravitron and Zipper to be on here. I don't get that much intensity on either of them. Gravitron especially is, in my opinion, a pretty chill ride. Fun but chill.
The tango was terrifying! I only rode once but it was memorable!
I've been on the roundup ride before. It's really fun.
I have ridden the inversion 24 just a few days before i watched this video. I can confirm that it is an extreme ride but at the same time a very fun experience
14:28 was not expecting to see waldameer feature for that ride lol i remember riding that one when it first opened lol
Oh man zipper is my favorite carnival ride next to the KMG Experience. I got a ride where i was able to get the car to constantly flip though the whole ride. I counted up to to 52 flips such a great ride and no midway is complete without a Zipper.
The rotor reminds me of the Finish Fling they used to have at Worlds of Fun! I only rode it once and it was terrifying. I was sliding down a little.
Yes let's go
The Remix is quite fun, went on it 3 times with my step-sister. I went on something similar to the Gyro Swing/Giga Discovery at Oaks Park in Oregon, and it was very fun. I did both the 180 and 360. I go on the Gravitron almost every year at the fair, it is a favorite of one of my ex-friends. This year at the fair, I went on the Rotor [called the Rave at my fair] 3 times and it was super fun. I went onto something very similar to the Zipper as well, but I don't remember much of it and my step-sister didn't allow me to flip the cart.
my carnival is in town rn. I have always been to scared to try the zipper, but I might just give it a go.

The first flat ride I've ever been on that turned me upside-down is at Legoland California outside San Diego. My mother and brother were in Africa at the time.
Flat rides are rides I’ll rarely go on. This is mainly because I’m very focused on roller coasters at theme parks. However when I ride flat rides, I enjoy them very much!
Last week, my son and I rode Crazanity first thing when Magic Mountain opened. We rode it by ourselves twice before anyone else made it on. That was incredibly memorable.
Some lovely rides on there. But I seriously miss the Mondial Inferno and the Huss Flic Flac.
