Count me in too! :)

And that 'High Energy' ride looks really awesome, can't wait for one stateside. (if ever :))

Evolution/excalibur is more or less a chaos-bee. Unfortunately, having never ridden it (in spite of over 30 trips of GAdv.), I've heard the program really doesn't make use of all the degress of motion in any fun way.

I sent the image to Zamperla, lol. Let's see what they say, or if they even reply, lol.

Funny, that you made the Zamperla connection. I phantasized about a similar ride before. I thought about attaching a "Power Surge" wheel on a Frisbee-sytle swing.
With the higher centre of gravity of Power Surge seats, the rotations would not be too snappy.

That "High Energy" ride is quite possibly the coolest looking flat ride I've ever seen. Didn't Blackpool Pleasure Beach open one recently as Bling?

Schwarzkopf shuttle loops...The most possible fun in 36 seconds.

^Yes, they have Bling now!

The other one is touring german fairs. Sadly it is NOT as good as it looks and its not the big success that everybody hoped it was.

Somehow the ride is just not thrilling enough. It lacks speed and is more like a sightseeing tour with inversions.

So you have thrillseekers who will just say: "I want something more exiting than Bling", while moderate fair visitors will say "Even looking at Bling makes me sick".

The Flying Circus on amusementrides.de had me saying "no", and I love extreme flat rides. I like the video of the Top Spin that flips like 15x in a row. And I thought it was bad enough when Kennywood's Top Spin flipped 7x, paused, and flipped one more time.

I rode High Energy a few weeks ago. At times it was quite fun, at others it was quite boring. But at other times, it was quite rough, both in terms of surprise headbanging and leg-snapping. A mixed ride, and not a bad ride, but give me Top Scan any day.

I too thought Excalibur was going to be a ride like that 'til I went and rode it. Your idea would be more exciting I think.

I survived a Japanese typhoon and the Togo flat ride of death!!!!!!
