Why have an inverting frisbee ride when all you gotta do is ride a swinging inverter ship such as PKD's Berzerker,if you ever ride it you'll soon change your mind about wanting an inverting frisbee ride that's for sure.
The swinging inverter ships have got the most painful restraint system ever created,(that is next to a vekoma SLC or Premire OTSR)and when that thing stops upsidedown it causes the worst pain imaginable on your shoulders as well as your chest,just take the ride for a spin and you'll see what I mean.
Does anyone know about the operation of HUSS frisbees? The one at SFNE never seems as intense as the first year that the put it in ('99, i think). Maybe I've just grown jaded to it, but it doesn't seem to give as intense a ride. Are there different intensity settings on the ride, like Top Spins?
I seem to remember it used to spin a bit in both directions, and then when it got up to full height it would go berzerk - spinning so fast that every seat on the ride would whip around the top before the car started swinging down again. But i also remember lots of people getting sick on the ride, so maybe SFNE decided to tune it down. Now I don't even really enjoy riding it.
Just some thoughts.

I recall a ride they had at the Rose Festival in Portland, OR about 3 summers ago. It had a circular passenger area and did invert, as well as rotate like a frisbee. I didn't ride it, but it did look like one heck of a ride. I have no idea who made it or what it was called, but it basically was an inverting frisbee. It looked too uncomfortable for my tastes, that is why I passed on the oportunity.
Did it swing?
It sounds like like either a KMG Spin Out or a Soriani and Moser Top Star Tour. Edit: It could an Evolution, too. Duh. Good call, MMCoasterBear :)
For what it's worth, I think there are varied intensity settings for the Frisbee. Great Adventure's Frisbee is far more exciting that SFNE's, by my recollection.

I believe the ride you are describing is the one called "Evolution" - it has a circular passenger ride compartment at one end, four riders to a section (of which there are either 6 or 8), and the seats face outwards. As the 'pendulum arm' rotates around the center axis several times (doesn't swing), the passenger compartment also revolves. At the end of the ride the passenger compartment is at the top of the pendulum, with you upside down, and they usually flip the seats so that they face the ground - YIKES!! - while you're over a hundred feet in the air. Not one of my favorites flat rides, but I've been on it several times.
