PKIguy14 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 What is your favorite classic flat ride at the park? Mine is either the Bumper Cars or Monster. (the new flat rides like Dropzone, Delirium, and Tomb Raider don't count) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXBomber Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 It seems like this should be a poll in the polls section, but oh well... Eagles. Snapping those babies can be soooooo much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I'll take the Eagles too. While I love virtually every flat in the park, I'm an Eagles man. Like I've said here before, I enjoyed the Eagles so often.....I've actually formed friendships with The Beast/Eagles crew! StX, since you're now a Beast crew member, you'll be seeing a lot of me this year. I usually show up early, then come back for the last hour or two each night to snap. There are a few of us back there (park regulars) who have gotten to know each other pretty well. We even keep in touch during the off season. By the way, I'm straying OT for a second... Who is now The Beast crew supervisor? Brian was for a long time, and then was promoted. I'm not sure what happened to Craig. Brian was great, because he would actually congratulate a great snap-cycle, much to the bemusement of other guests who really don't like snappers much... anyway, that crew is absoulutely one of the best in the park.....right up there with Delirium. (I'll go into that in another thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbeast Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Flying Eagles, you get quite good at snapping after watching it for at least 4 hours a day, for a season and a half. Trust me... It will forever be the best flat ride in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXBomber Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Yeah, Brian was a great sup, one of the reasons I moved to Beast crew. Sups haven't been chosen yet, so no one knows. I'm hoping to learn to snap better from working that ride. I'm gonna ask to run that thing alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryler87 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 One that would change the park forever is none other than Shake Rattle and Roll!!! It's the best when you ride with a friend (especially if they're of the opposite sex...ha ha...) So much fun, and such a classic. I hope it never goes away!!!

DegenRider Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 The Eagles! BUT! if you cannot snap we should have a tutiorial on that soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmayes Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hmmmmm...favorite flat ride~~~~Lets see here........ 1. Eiffel Tower 2. Shake Rattle & Roll 3. Days of Thunder (is that a flat ride?) My favorite three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryler87 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 (edited) Days of Thunder COULD be considered a flat. It's definitely not a thrill ride, but it sure isn't a coaster. Maybe it's considered an entertainment ride? I have no idea. YAY! POST NUMBER 201!!! Now if i can only remember which one was #200...

CYoung2003 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 DOT is NOT a flat ride. Its go karts, how is it a flat ride if its go karts?? Face/Off is more of a flat ride then DOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Punk Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 How about the Grand Carousel. That thing is awesome. There is so much craftsmanship in that thing. Plus it is a great classic ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Mine is definately the Monster. I love the types of rides where basically every part of the ride spins. I also really like SR&R and Scrambler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmayes Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 DOT is NOT a flat ride. Its go karts, how is it a flat ride if its go karts?? Face/Off is more of a flat ride then DOT. Ok I can agree with that. But it is a one of a kind ride in the park. So if it were put in a category with other rides my best guess would be that it would be a flat ride. It def. isnt a rollar coaster. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbeast Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 DOT is NOT a flat ride. Its go karts, how is it a flat ride if its go karts?? Face/Off is more of a flat ride then DOT. What? That doesn't make any sence. How is Tombraider a flat ride if it's a Giant Top Spin? How is Delirium a flat ride if it's a Giant Frisbee? How is Dodgems a flat ride if it's Bumper Cars? There are 2 types of rides in a park: Coasters and Flat Rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbeast Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 (edited) Yeah, forgot about the water rides. 3 types? 4 types if you want to include dark rides, but i wouldn't consider go-karts it's own catagory of rides. Someone's gonna tell us this is off topic, and 3 2 1... Edited January 1, 1970 by derbeast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYoung2003 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 So what are Skyflyer, Slingshot, and Launch Pad considered then? Not flat rides. Maybe you can classify them as payrides. So there you go, thats what DOT is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbeast Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 haha, can't pay rides be flat rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYoung2003 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Actually I think Skyflyer can be techniclly be considered a coaster, seeing as it is a "Skycoaster". But I dont know, thats questionable. But anywho, I cant believe I am arguing about DOT. DOT isnt a ride, its just a big oval in the ground.

derbeast Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 (edited) LOL Skyflyer's got the coast, but no roll Edited January 1, 1970 by derbeast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYoung2003 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Anywho, back on topic, my favorite flat is Ship. I love that ride. It used to make me so sick but then I got used to it. Love riding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
