I love Top Spin's and I had no clue they had new versions that do the twist part. This is one sick program for Top Spin's as most in the US are weak and boring. The one at Great Adventure does one full rotation! We need more of these in the states.

So many points of failure all needing to hold the weight at all times

That thing does not look like it would last as long as a normal ride

I suddenly feel like playing Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Man, I was expecting something like the old water slide thread. Boring.

That's a water slide?

Without the twisting sideways this bears a heavy resemblance to a ride at Knott's Berry Farm.

They're adding one of these in Six Flags La Ronde (Montréal) for next summer.

After watching that video, I expected everyone to hop off and jump into the air going, "Ah ha-ha! Ah ha-ha! Yay! Yay! Ah-ha-ha! Yay!"

Eh really? Granted, I didn't expect the arms to move independently but it was going so slow that I assumed it was getting ready to go quadruple time at some point. Maybe I've been to too many amusement parks & fairs :/

X2 magic mountain is the craziest ride.

Tatsu at 6 flags in cali is my favorite.

The forward loop on that thing sucked my face back like nothing in my LIFE. That ride was insanely good.

Also, that ride was pretty far from being insane. Seemed pretty tame really.

That ride (or a pretty damn close approximation) is known as The Wipeout in Dreamworld Australia, I first went on it when I was about 11-12. Fun as hell and not scary at all (except for when they hold you upside down).

This freaked me out the most on my recent trip. That wait at the top was nerve racking.

I actually messed up my back when I was 13 on one of them

I went on one quite tall before. Line is long, climb to the top, it's over so fast and you're left with a wedgie. Would rather go on a long kind of fast snaking one tons of times over.

 

[PAULINK]

I was waiting for something to happen the whole time, nothing about that was remotely insane.

I think I was on this ride at Water Country in New Hampshire last year.

Shit, is that from Water Country? If so, last time I was at there I was too afraid to go down.

 

[Wilsongt]

I've been on one of those before. It's fun.

I was actually on something like this as a kid in an Arizona water park (prob not as high, but still very very tall). I'd say this: I don't think I'd go on it again if I had the chance. Right after I got on it and on the vertical down part (which is purely vertical), there was about a second or so where I was actually in the air and not on the slide at all. Freaked me out a little.

Even without that part, wasn't really that fun. Way too fast (as in was over before you knew it), and kinda not enough water, so you ended up skidding a bit of your back. The other slides there were much more fun.

That's pretty similar to a ride we have here at Lagoon in Utah called the Cliffhanger. Only difference is it doesn't have the third axis and it shoots water up at you.
