But you'll do it with a girl sittin' right by your side
Let's take your car and mess around at the park all day!
--Brian Wilson, 1965
"Amusement Parks USA" from the album Summer Days (and Summer Nights!)
The song also references the Euclid Beach Flying Turns, something called a twirl-a-way (probably a Tilt-A-Whirl), Riverview's Pair-O-Chutes, and the bumper cars at Steel Pier. The sad thing is that of all the parks named in the song (Palisades Park, Salisbury Park, Euclid Beach, Riverview, Disneyland, Pacific Ocean Park, and Steel Pier) only Disneyland is still in business today. :(

Dude, it is a Huss (I think). It is a pretty fun ride, but not the best. A link: dang, I can't find one on Huss' site! Here is the only one I have been on: http://www.sixflags.com/parks/marineworld/rides/shark.html
Why wasn't one on Huss' site?

Huss? Huh, last time I was at SFMW, (which was 2 years ago i might add) i think i clearly remember the restraints being marked Zamperla, but then again, they are the makers of the other Hammerhead at KBF, so maybe I am getting them mixed up, but I am prety sure that SFMW's Hammerhead Shark had Zamperla marked somewhere near the seats.
Edit: yes it is made by Zamperla, the Six Flags site is wrong...again... http://www.zamperlarides.com/main/prjune11.htm

Welcome one and all, y'all come have a ball!
Things a bear-y fine, ridin' on the old Knott's bear-y line!
