Well Giant Drop....yeah.

My favorite family flat ride is Condor (good thing it was moved here, it prolly wouldnt be open at the park it used to be at ;)). I love being up over S:UF, nice view. I like most flats though my favorites are:
1. Condor.
2. Orbit.
3. Whirligig.
4. Triple Play.

Without a doubt, Mondial Top Scan, sepcifically in the US CVS's Space Roller(though one I rode at a Belgian Street Fair ((RIP)) was a bit better, though the KMG Tango, KMG Afterburner, Mondial Shake and Chance Zipper all tie for second. Other Honorable Mentions would be fabbri Booster (Think gravity works sky scraper), the Alan Herschell/Chance Skywheel and/or Velare Brothers Space Wheels and Schwarzkopf Bayren Kurve (but it needs the horn, adds so much to the ride) :)

Quite a few more I really love, but those come to mind first.

And while not quite top caliber Flats I do look forwards to each and every one of SFGAm's flats, the new style Floorless Top Spin does look quite interesting, and the Rockin Tug is easily the best family ride to come out in probably at least the last 5-10 years

I like Triple Play and Fiddler's Fling the best. I used to love the Condor, but last season it gave me a nosebleed...and that's not fun since SFGAm doesn't put paper towels in their restrooms. I had to use the TP from one of the stalls. Yuck!

That is hands down the absolute worst decision SFGAm has ever made in their 28+ year history, removing paper towels from the bathrooms. Wouldnt be so bad if the hand blowers they installed actually blew out air and not a barely moving wave of unbearable scalding heat. Only one bathroom still had paper towels at the end of last year (I forget which though) but it was the only bathroom I'd use, as it sucks badly having wet hands when it's cold out.

Fiddler's Fling just because of the fact my wife does not ride anything that spins, and it is one ride I can ride with both kids at the same time. They love trying to squish me.
Waiting to fill this space with something stupid to say!

Chubasco is great. I'm not one who gets sick on rides, even if they spin. Mostly everyone I know is intimidated by Chubasco. It's a fun ride.

This will change once the new rides open cause if King Chaos is anything like SFWoA's top spin was it will quickly become my favorite.

But as of last season:
1. East River Crawler
2. Chubasco
3. Fiddler's Fling
Go Bulls!

For those of you who can handle most spinning rides except Chubasco, you could always not spin the car. If you do that the rides more like a Scrambler then Hometown Fun Machine is.

I personally prefer spinning as fast as possible but my brother doesn't like spinning all the time, he doesn't like Fiddler's fling much either but the other rides he is able to ride.
Go Bulls!

Richochet with you head turned backwards is fun, but Triple play is great.
