I've only been on one type of HUSS ride, the Top Spin and it was a LOT of fun. HUSS is coming out with some crazy rides, and this one seems like it might top the list. I thought the Frisbee looked like fun. I can't wait until one of these is sold. Those crazy Germans!

First thing that came to mind when I saw that picture was having Sea World purchasing one and putting it in over a shark tank or something like that. That would be damn cool!

That ride looks awesome! I love spinning swinging type rides. My fav new flat ride is Maelstrom at Drayton Manor. I think it will be a while before one arrives in the UK though.

Still, sounds fun.

It looks interesting, but also too complicated and like it would break a LOT!I don't like the idea, just doesn't look fun.

That ride looks awesome. I'm sure since it's HUSS, it should be very reliable, well at least as reliable as a prototype can be. I hope it goes to a park in the US soon (**couch**PGA**cough**) cause I would ride it in a heart beat. I just hope the spinning on top is more like a frisbee rather then a gyro drop. The first park to get this is a very lucky park indeed.

this thing looks off the hook. SFWOA hasn't added any "intense" flats since 1999, this would be nice to see.

That would be really scary. It would help if the ride was enclosed so people didn't know that it would move from side to side and would be scared when it started to tip over something dangerous. Maybe Paramount will try to enclose and theme one of these at one of their parks?

Umm, I think I would get very ill or end up with a huge headache. I would have a blast just watching it for a while, though.

Not really a NEW concept, its been on the site for a few years. But really ^? Thats awesome! I've been wanting to ride it for a long time now! Too bad its so far from me. Damn.

EDIT: Oops, just realized that the original post was posted a few years ago so it probably was a new concept back then.

If you go to Huss's website and view all the rides you will find alot of onride and annimated videos of most of there product line. Just have to look through the different ride pages. Most have mpeg and quicktime formats.

I really dont like getting wet on rides. I have been on 3 "kinds" of topspins..
ones with no wanter...
ones that have water and get you wet..
and ones with water but dot get you wet..
i like the ones with water but dont get you wet the most. because if its colder or you just want to stay dry but still ride you can. but you still get the thrill of haveing the water shooting up to your face.

/\ You have a picture for everything, don't you SFNE stinks?

I just watched the video for this ride and I have to say wow! It seems like it is going to be so much fun. I just don't get how it can hold all the the weight going that low without well, toppling over! I would love to ride one of these. Or at least see a video of it in action.

first off yes...
and well the name of the ride is TOPPLE Tower... lol but the way it works is the big base that also swings... so its like a looping starships fram "upside down" but the ride doesnt invert.

The Topple Tower is a neat concept. Too bad no parks anywhere close to me have purchased one yet. At least to our klnowledge.

It is definently unique. I want get to ride it though. I would have to go out of state and then out of that state again and maybe on more time to get to a ride like this.

Basically I would have go far before I would get close to one of these, when they start getting built. Unless Texas gets one, then I would just have to go out of state.

I'm bumping this thread because a park is getting one. I don't know if there is one of these yet. If not, then this is the first one. Here is a picture of it...
