Video: Tornado (Huss Flipper)
June 26th, 2010 · 2 Comments · carnivals, videos
Tornado is a large, flashy Huss manufactured ride that goes by the trade name of Flipper. The ride is pretty much what you’d get if a Round Up and a Tilt-a-Whirl had a baby. The ride spins at variable speeds so sometimes the cars will be pinned facing inward due …
Video: KMG Tango
June 18th, 2010 · 3 Comments · videos
Tango is a KMG manufactured spin and puke ride and possibly the only ride to ever seat riders in a standing/floorless configuration. This might sound kind of…uh…painful for guys, but from what I experienced it really isn’t; however it’s still not the most comfortable ride either! The ride itself combines …

The Chance manufactured Trabant is one of those rides that seems to be custom themed more often than not. Sometimes you’ll see a plain ol’ Trabant, which in turn is themed after a satellite (a weird 1960s one at that,) but more common themes are that of roulette wheels, surfing, …

Krazy Kars, spelled with ‘K’s’ to konfuse kids and make perfektionists squirm, was a ride at Dorney Park in Allentown, PA. I say was because in 2010 its spot will be taken up by Dorney’s new-old ride, Demon Drop. Krazy Kars was pretty much a bumper car ride only …
No Limits Coaster: Ravine Runner

I’ve had this ride hanging around in No Limits limbo for a while and finally decided to finish it. Ravine Runner (I couldn’t really think of a good name) is a Schwarzkopf looping coaster that’s set in a hilly, wooded …

Apollo is a flatride at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, PA. The ride is a Soriani & Moser manufactured ‘Apollo 2000′ ride which is basically a total knockoff of the Huss Swing Around. The two rides are nearly identical with the only visual difference being that the Apollo …

Enterprise is a classic spin n’ puke ride seen at many theme parks and even at some traveling carnivals. Enterprise was originally a Schwarzkopf designed ride which debuted in 1971, however Huss Rides built their own version a year later and was issued a patent. The primary difference between the …
