Anyone have a weird favorite ride?

It's been a long time. I can't remember if it was the restraint system that did it, or the seats themselves. I just remember that the ride itself was a blast, but it HURT.


Proud 5th Liner and CP fan since 1986.

We don't have one at CP, but I really enjoy HUSS Top Spins.I remember riding the one at Darien Lake a dozen times in a row when I was just barely tall enough to ride it. Unfortunately, they are becoming hard to to find as parks are removing them due to the maintenance headaches.

I would say go over to Germany to Phantasialand for the world's best top spin, but assuming you don't want to go over to Europe, head to Vaughan, Ontario and hit up Canada's Wonderland! They have an awesome Top Spin that sits right beside Levi.

I don't care much for Top Spins in general anymore, maybe it's an age thing, but I forced myself to ride Talocan. It was awesome, but frightening. It was also a little hard to find there in their deep pit that is Mexico. It was perfectly themed, and they had a couple of observation levels in front of the ride for an hour or so of entertainment. Everything a good Top Spin should be.
Unless, of course, you want to talk about the traveling rides in Europe. At Munich's Oktoberfest they had two, Top Spin 2 and Top Spin Fresh. They were both Huss models with millions of lights, all the flash, and ran long manual programs. I didn't climb aboard either one. But if CP were to ever get one I think I'd prefer it have that sort of look over something that resembles a fake buzzsaw or something.

I'm with you on that RCMAC. Remember that's how George Roose used to buy them back in the day, with as much flash as the electrical system could handle. Rides that had up to 33,000 lights on them, up and down the Midway. Truly a spectacular sight at night.
