An Unusual ride you Just Loved?!

CP's Snake River Falls on a hot day, its wonderful. The ride is great and the splash looks so cool from the bridge as it approaches you.

There was a ride called the Boomerang at the defunct Betrand Island Park in New Jersey.  I wasn't old enough to ride it but I used to love to watch it.  I was fascinated by it.

Riders would sit in a circular tub with wheels on the bottom. (sort of like the cars on an old Virginia Reel).  he tubs were hooked onto a wheel which spun around.  At some point, the cars would be released from the wheel and roll off down a sort of track.  hey were free to spin and bang against the sides of the track all the way through a tunnel.

I think this was a one-of-a-kind ride.  I'd be interested to know if there was anything else like it.  It had a great primitive appearance (I love that aspect of older rides) almost looked home built.

Dark rides at fairs, I love being in a little 2-seat car going along a pole that is a track!

I, like many others, am totally obsessed with the zipper!

I can't get enough of Scramblers, Log Flumes, Rapids Rides, or Haunted houses. And who could forget a himalaya or musik express

movies+coasters= the most fun you could ever imagine!

Houdini's Escape at Great Adventure. Of all the rides it surprised me the most!!

Scrambler, tilt-a-whirl, dark riding funhouses, dark walking funhouses, regular funhouses, those giant slides.

Nasai, that was a Chance "Toboggan", a strange little mini-coaster.  They stopped making them after the 70s, which is why they're rare now.  There are some pictures of this on rcdb.com at a few parks.

Nothing beets a ride on a Magic Carpet, it's now the only ride that still grabs my stomach!

I'd have to say Giro drops....I mean how weirder can you get. It's such a simple ride but it gives so much fun. U gotta love em'!

Haunted Houses when Halloween comes up.  Only a couple are scary, but the ones that are, creep the living crap out of me!

I love Shake, Rattle and Rolls.  Those are the best.  I also love log flumes.  I don't know why.  It's kinda weird.

I love the Rock and Roll thing at the Virginia State Fair. you flip upside down while your going around in a big circle. It is a primative ride, but offers a most unique experience!

I'd have to say river rapid rides, Splash water falls (SFGAm) and the teacup things. I love those things.
