IMO that would be a Dark Ride. Sorry. But I'm not an authority or anything. :D

Rock-O-Planes are undoubtably the best flat rides I have ever ridden. I love when I can get the car to flip itself over and over. I like to brake the seat in the upright position at the top and hold it there so that I am upside-down at the bottom. I always try to balance the car at the perfect angle to keep it upside down all the way from the top down to the bottom. One time I successfully balanced the car upside down for one full rotation. It was the most amazing ride I had ever experienced. Last year the ride-op told me that he had fun watching me, because the way I manouvered the seat was like an art form :lol:. At the yearly carnival I am normally the only person there on the night when they sell the unlimited ride wristbands, so I tell the ride-op to keep the ride going for about 15 minutes. I think this year I will try to convince them to let me get onride videos.

Another fave is the Kangaroo at Kennywood. I forget the generic name of that one.

Another one of my favorites would have to be Riptide @ KBF. Unlike Robb, I set teh record for the most flips that month. The thing like broke and they had us flip over like 10 times. It was crazy!

I love the Ripsaw at alton towers, theres nothing quite like being held upside-down uptill you get sprayed in the face with water then span around a few times to dry off =) if you dont like the water you might get lucky theres 15 possible sequences
