Nice video! There is also a German version of this ride called "Star Shape" by Zierer. It's a bit taller.
I think starshapes should deserve its own video because its different enough
The star shape also moves like a fully inverting frisbee....
We mentioned the Star Shape in Flat Ride of the Week Episode 7: th-cam.com/video/gqcYCdG8z38/w-d-xo.html
it's actually a bit of a combination of a frisbee and a top scan. it moves back and forth and goes upside down like a frisbee, but the gondolas look and spin like those on a top scan.
I remember back in early 2000s When Chessington had Samurai installed. It was the most amazing ride I'd ever been on. The setting was perfect with the mystic theme and tall trees behind it. I remember one day when it got dark, it got a bit foggy and with all the red lights on it looks incredible. Never been the same when it was moved to Thorpe!
I’ve ridden Space Roller when it was at the Meadowlands Fair in my state I love these rides I’ve also ridden the one at Carowinds
The Top Scan and The Zipper are tied at the top of my favourite travelling rides🤩 *PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON THE ZIPPER NEXT!!!* 💖 You have no idea how happy that would make me!!!😱😍✨
i love the “ElectroSpin” at carowinds but I have also gotten stuck on it in the middle of summer , a few years ago I saw it get stuck very very often
I saw that one stuck sideways for 30 minutes a few weeks ago when it was 100 degrees.
i love top scans they are really intense
Shockwave at Canada's Wonderland is honestly one of my favorite flat rides at the park!
Thanks for sharing another video, enjoying this series. 😊
the beast at fantasy island uk was one of the best top scans to ever made until james mellors took it to saudi arabia. you would get a 10+ min manual cycle at full power at it was one of the really fast ones that had gondolas that span really well
At 0:52 you can see the top scan in the background! This is why Canada’s Wonderland is my fave theme park because it has such a wide variety. From terrible Zanpearla Volares to gigga coasters like leviathan. And amazing flat rides too!
I’m from Australia and it’s called Space Roller :)
For me, the Top Scan is the most spectacular-looking flat ride ever made. I get mesmerized just watching it in action.
My first experience with the Top Scan (I've only ever been on versions dubbed "Space Roller") was at the Minnesota State Fair. I was blown away. (That same trip also introduced me to the Shake, known there as 'Magnum', but that's for an earlier video.)
I haven't been to the MN State Fair in some time, but I *have* come across the "Space Roller" at the Meadowlands State Fair. I rode it there two years ago, but couldn't get on it last year (we came early during the fair's run and the ride didn't have its permits in order by then). Obviously, going on it this year is out, but maybe in 2021.
I've only known the "Airwolf" and "Intoxx" through YT videos. I would love to get on one of those at some point, if I ever come across one in my travels.
Canada's Wonderland has a Top Scan called Shockwave. Definitely one of my favourite rides at the park.
This type of ride would look sweet at Six Flags Great Adventure
I used to operate a mondial top scan, called "beware, the beast" at fantasy island, uk 👍😁 best year of my life operating that ride
That wasnt like any other top scan, the floor had been built narrower than all the others, to fit into a gap at a park between two other rides, so there were no walkways either side, there were entrance steps and an exit ramp at the front, and the entrance steps connected to a walkway across the front of the ride instead of going past the paybox
Also, that ride was built for one operator, it didnt require attendants, as it was fitted with electrically locking gates at the entrance and exit, pretty cool stuff 👍
I recently found your videos and I've been enjoying the flat ride series quite a bit!
Speaking of kiddie rides, you should talk about The Allan Herschell company sometime! They made plenty of flat rides that pop up everywhere (their helicopter ride for example) and some interesting old ones (like the looper at knoebels) they also made a lot of really beautiful carousels in the early days.
Keep up the great work!
You should do the Tagada flat ride next
Great Video as always! I've only done Samurai at Thrope Park, I can't remember it much, but I remember liking it, shame I didn't get on the prototype at Winter Wonderland.
The Top Scan "Skater" travelling with German showman Kaiser is one of the most brutal rides I've been on so far - when I rode it in Düsseldorf, it ran at full speed during the whole cycle and I was sitting on the outer seat of the gondola. The results were insane lateral forces, even with only about four minutes ride time it was almost too much for me...
One year later, I was sitting in the inner seat and the ride program was less intense, so it was more pleasant to ride.
But nevertheless, these rides look really impressive!
Dude i love this series thanks for make making my day 👍
Could you do a flat ride video over the Topple Tower? I love how you guys are really thorough with your research, and I’d love to learn more about those rides.
I rode my first Top Scan 3 days ago! Yes, Top Scan's are awesome rides!
if you ever do more of these in the future, make the other guy record with a better mic, sounds like he is inside of a cave❕ love this series❕❕❕
I rode the one in Carowinds!! The on ride footage gave me great memories.
I remember when they had a top scan at my home park on long island. Sombody ended up getting killed when they flew off the ride when the restraint failed. They took it down after that. Very unfortunate incident.
Brandon Williams Yikes
Yesss i remember this it was a lady i think he restraint failed mid ride and she was ejected and landed on a car in the parking lot and died
This was the only every incident on a top scan
Oof R.I.P.
I rode samurai at Thorpe park in the uk. Was great and intense
Over 10 years ago I rode something very similar to this ride in Virginia called Tango. I haven't seen it since, but it was a great ride.
The Top Scan!!! man oh man. The Topscan is the ride that alomst knock me out after a day of nonstop rides at the Oktoberfest is München. With the Mondial Capriolo, the Topscan is for me the to go ride, if the opperater knows what to do, and is allowed to knock the speed to the max.
I have bin on The New Comer, the mondial inferno. In my memory it was more gantel but handelt you like a beast throuwing you around. It was awesome. The was when the New Comer was lokaded the fair in Cap d'agde in France.
In 2019 I specialy whent to fair in Antwerp (Belgium), ther a dutch show man rented a Topscan from a English show man. I got 4 times a 7 min. rides with an awesome show. Best time ever!!!!
If you get the chance to ride a Topscan in The Netherlands, Bulgium, France, Germany or England at a fair, YOU MUST GO AND RIDE IT!!
The one that came to Antwerp last year was actually the prototype Top Scan!
@@SchwarzkopfFanboy OH DAMM.... dat maakt het allemaal nog specialer!!
One of my bucket list flats
There’s I Mondial topscan travelling model in Australia on the fair /show /carnival circuit also called space roller
Yeah I rode one at the Phillip island show a few years back
Bought from a Dutch showman called Hoefnagels, the name has been on the sign for years but is now removed.
Was my favourite ride here
Lagoon in Utah picked up a Top Scan (coincidentally named Samurai as well). Really fun ride, but it's generally down more often than it's running. Basically been plagued with inconsistent performance the whole time.
Is that common with this ride?
The ride off ride looks mesmerizing
I'm really enjoying your videos!
Please do the Extasy. I’ve seen POV’s and it’s crazy. Do it one day.
It's one of the best flatrides in the world: unique, intense and with an immersive lightshow at night.
Rode it last year and I just love it!
Van der beek also made the city hopper(jumper) that was their first ride. After that the spinball and sound machine
that last ride, its like 1 mad trip
The Space Roller in America. Owned by Jeremy Floyd was recently sold to a showman in UK. I’m assuming it won’t be leaving for the UK until the end of summer. Last chance to ride it this summer.
Yeeeah i have been wanting this for ages
Seeing that Chinese ride and the X Drive mentioned makes me wonder why the KMG Tango didn't make it into this episode, I get that it's fairly different ride but it always felt like it belonged with a Top Scan? (If that made any sense)
Airwolf is sold and was planned to travel the German fair again in 2020
A Top Scan was my first truly intense ride, and the one I happened to ride: is the very one shown in the thumbnail of this video. This one was located in LI Adventureland, my home park. A girl convinced me to ride it since it was her birthday and she didn't want to ride alone. Lord was I not willing, as someone who was terrified of roller coasters and even those big pirate ships...I went on it tho, and I got off ready to pass out. Wasn't nauseous, just terrified lol. It was an experience I'll never forget. Would recommend for the thrill seeker! I go back and forth about whether I'd get on one today lol.
Years ago KMG also came up with the Tango, which appears to be yet another competitor of the Top Scan.
Love to scans they are brilliant
I enjoy these videos so much, thank you for putting out such interesting content! Subscribed!
2:34 : 'This particular showman is most well known for being a showman...'
me: what?
'... for the state fair of Texas
me: oh ok.
Sol Spin is at my home park and it’s so fun that it’s more fun then half of their coasters
The beast at fantasy island was the best one of these, it was ABSOUTLEY PHENOMENAL, and had a marathon of a cycle.....
There is another Ventura model in Hong Kong, Wild Twister, often mislead as a topscan
The x drive is not sold to otten. Otten travels with almost al kmg prototypes, he rents the machines from kmg for a low cost so new buyers can see them in action on fairs
This came to Australia too spaceroller i remember around 2007 maybe
In my opinion, the cross reference to the ride "High Energy" is missing in the compilation.
I have a very vivid memory of my dad and a friend of his riding Airwolf when i was about 5 or 6. I was so intimidated just by watching it because it was so tall. Never rode it, sad to hear its in storage.
The American space roller is now owned by Jeremy and Kate Floyd (ketcham) and it travels independent.
I've gone to the Texas State Fair every year since birth basically and I've never seen that ride or anything similar to it. 🤔
I've actually seen this ride at the state fair. It's in a hidden back part that's closer to the cotton bowl.
Will there be ever a Video about Pegasus Rides?
Just checking in to let you know that you got my sub, this is a really nice channel and I really sympathise with GP To Enthusiast! (Don't know his name) He seems to be a cool guy to have a beer with and chat about Amusement Parks and stuff!
Thanks for content!
There was a top scan at Adventure Land Long island NY where a lady was ejected mid ride and died
I tend to avoid certain spinning rides to avoid nausea. If this didn't make you nauseous, it makes me think the next time I'm at Knott's and I'm feeling tip top, I'll give Sol Spin a try. Thanks.
I've been on 3 Top Scans, Samurai at Thorpe Park, The Beast at Fantasy Island, which I believe has been relocated to Saudi and a travelling one that popped up at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland one year.
Never been on one, but it looks cool. Also looks like the Zierer (idk how to spell it) Star Shape.
I have never rode a top scan before, even though the place my county fair’s rents their rides from has one available, I wish I could ride one of these amazing attractions.
To be honest, the Mondial Inferno deserved its own video. For those who live in Europe, the "Airwolf" was recently purchased by Weber and is now located at SAD Maschinenbau. I think Weber will bring to the German fair in 2021 or 2022. As for which Inferno was more intense? I believe the "Airwolf" was the most intense, it is also the only one with hydraulic engines.
Weber is traveling with it 👍🏼
These things are fun. Painful, but fun.
Painful? Are you sure you aren't confusing this with Tango? Tango has the bicycle style seats which make for an uncomfortable ride to say the least...
Spectra Nyte Not the Tango, the top Scan. It can really throw you back and fourth violently depending on when and how you ride it. Perhaps it’s not such a painful experience, but definitely an intense one. I’ve never ridden a Tango however, and I probably never will. Those things look nasty.
Thanks guys
We have a Mondial Top Scan at my home park (Samurai at Lagoon) that I operated when I worked there, and still one of the most popular flat rides there. One of my favorite rides to work, it had an onboard soundtrack that various traditional Japanese music tracks to set the scene. Though, there was one time a guest did throw up after getting off, so to some it's definitely a nauseating ride... Guess just depends how strong of a stomach you got.
My wife frequently mentions the time her brother made her ride the Samurai and she threw up afterward. I'm guessing from the "have fun and don't lose your sushi" part on the safety notice sign that this isn't uncommon.
Deffo copied samurai at thorpe park as that opened first
I've been on the ventura
These are incredible!
Neat
Samurai thorpe is my local one
Yes we have it in Saudi Arabia ❤️🇸🇦
You messed up the "Alex's Channel" link in the description
I think it's this one: th-cam.com/channels/r-1LjXLt_G9YlspMeIWe7w.html correct me if I'm wrong
Fixed, my bad.
talley amusements has most of the rides at thee texas state fair , for it is totally an indipendant fair
I’ve ridden a space roller and let me tell you it is intense I’m bigger than my friend and she sat at the end closer to the arm and I sat at the other end just to see what would happen and that was one of the most intense ride we had that night
I-it's jake... from state farm
Hi jake
That's a nice far cry 3 blood Dragon logo, nice
you should do the chaos ride next
You should do the Musik express next
What was the topscsan at Carowinds called when it was travelling Europe?
I wanna say the Zierer Star Shape is a competitor to the Mondial Topscan cuz it is like the Sol Spin and Evolution but faster
There are 2 transportable topscans in the UK
Why do the main arm and gondola arm always rotate in the same direction? I want to see a version with counter-spinning like scrambler rides
S.Fanboy has a weird echo/tone to his voice. It sort of sounds like it’s a mic on a laptop.
I love ur vids ;-:
It is 4 in the morning 😑.
you forgot the technical park pegasus 16
Love your videos Man
these are neat! great video
you miss another attraction there is also a ride called black out at the German fair and it also looks a lot like the top scan
I wouldn't say they're family of the Top Scan. They're more similar to the Loopfighters, and the Pegasus 30 is completely different from a Top Scan. I'd say it's a ride on its own.
Please make a jump n smile/techno jump rides
or a mattahorn
I guess there isn't much info on rides that tour around Australia cause there was no mention of the space roller that tours around here.
Is Canada's Wonderland the only park with both Airwolf and Top Scan? Also, wouldn't you consider the Zieier(sp?) Starshape a similar ride to the Top Scan?
How about a video about Evolution by FarFabbri
Nice video but you forgot the Pegasus 16 from technical park
I wouldn't say they're family of the Top Scan. They're more similar to the Loopfighters, and the Pegasus 30 is completely different from a Top Scan. I'd say it's a ride on its own.
@@SchwarzkopfFanboy would say that they are from the same family since the pegasus 16 has a diagonal rotation, that there is only one pillar and that the gondola is lifted thanks to a hydraulic sway system, the loopfighter family rather belongs to that of pendulum rides
Hopefully this gets seen. I just found some videos recently of yours from accidentally and what not that happened and it made me curious that you must have medical professionals. I saw you work at cedar point. I live in columbus and have my emt license and thought it would be cool to work there. What should I know about ways to work there in the summer and housing and all that
Idk if it would be a good thing to add but there’s a ride called OMG that would probably be a competitor
The "Pegasus" made by Technical Park is somewhat comparable to a Top Scan although it actually feels quite different. But, both rides can get VERY intense :-)
Make a video called evolution ride
Can you please buy your other speaker a halfway serviceable mic?
Awesome vid!
can someone tell me what GP stands for please lol
General public
Has anyone ever ridden cú culluan at tatyo park in ireland I would highly recommend to any enthousiests
