Holy crap on a stick. I would NEVER ride that. Think of the tiny bolts holding that thing together and the way it twists those bolts are BEGGING to snap. No thank you..

This actually isn't all that impressive. It looks like an old Mondial or Zamperla ride, but I don't see it on any online catalogs at the moment. There used to be loads of rides similar to this one about a decade ago, but they've all dimmed in popularity due to maintenance issues. I always thought the standard Huss Top Spins looked really cool, but I still haven't gotten to ride one because every time I've visited a park that had one it was closed.

I started watching and thinking, "Oh, that's just like Thunderhawk at Worlds of Fun. I hate that ride." And THEN... *it* happened. OMG! I would NEVER ride a ride like this!

LOL!

I would ride it, even though I'm not a thrill ride junkie, just to get the sensation.

Then again, I trusted Uncle Sam to deliver me safely to the ground after I stepped out of a perfectly good airplane at 1,250 feet, even though Uncle Sam had declared I was on my own at that point.  ;) ;D

I saw this ride at the Arch grounds in St. Louis several years ago during the 4th of July celebration. It didn't twist like this but it sure flipped the riders over faster then this did.
