What's your favorite Flat ride?

[Coaster CurtHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

Not a fan of the rides that really spin, they mess me up for the day.

I will however jump on Extreme Swing/Sky Hawk or maXair everytime I see them.

[Blue Fire GuyWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

My apologies for the bump, but I'd like to share my thoughts on the most intense flat of all time: Extasy.

Extasy is a VERY INTENSE Soriani and Moser Energy Storm located at Wiener Prater in Vienna, Austria. It has a 5 and 1/2 minute cycle, bewilderingly fast spinning, ridiculously insane sustained laterals, blaring music, lights, fog, and sustained hangtime. Very often, it will combine all of the above to completely disorient the rider. A single ride on it kicked my A$$, leaving me exhausted and nauseous afterwards. Yet at the same time, I loved it for kicking my A$$.

All right, time for some photos and an off ride video I took. My dad and I's facial expressions at the end of the video pretty much sum everything up.

Definitely S&S Screamin' Swing. However, I've only ridden one, which was Thunder 'n' Lightning at Lake Compounce. A little annoyed now that I missed SwingShot at Kennywood this year.

[jwilI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

I thought Swingshot at Kennywood was better than Skyhawk at Cedar Point, largely because it felt like I was falling out in the former. It seemed to get better airtime for whatever reason. Strange because the one at CP is bigger (and supposedly the biggest in the world?).

Giant Frisbees win for me; MaXair is still my favorite flat.

I would have to go with the chance zipper. I feel like they are very underrated and every park should have one.

[coastercrazy 9Donkeys are my way of life!]

I have recently become a huge fan of the skyscreamer clones, anyone with me?

I find the Skyscreamers to be fun, but Chance Revolutions are still my favorite flat. They seem to pack a lot of airtime in if you find the right seat on a Revolution with the right program.

Yes, I believe Skyhawk is the tallest in the world. I thought Thunder 'n' Lightning at Lake Compounce had awesome airtime and scared the crap outta me, lol.

I was actually really surprised with SkyScreamer at SFGAdv! It's my 2nd favorite flat, I actually liked it better than the Windseekers. But my all time favorite flat is a drop tower
