Just wondering if anyone knows about any really good, high-tech flat rides, and what parks they are installed in, if any.

My favorite 2 high-tech flat ride are:
<BR>
<BR>Zamperla Turbo Force: Located in SFGADV and I beleive SFAW. Also traveling with a carnival somewhere.
<BR>
<BR>Zamperla Power Surge: Located at Kennywood and Casino Pier in Seaside Heights.
<BR>
<BR>The Turbo Force is the best flat ride I have ever been on...I don't care if it is an upcharge attraction or not...it's well worth it. The SkyScraper pins you into the seat with the 5-point restraints it uses, so it is hard to breath and almost impossible to move around! The Turbo Force just uses OTS restraiunts and is much more comfortable.
<BR>
<BR>The Power Surge is just a CRAZY, disorienting ride! Especially the one on Casino Pier. Seing the beach and/or ocean flip around it great! The ride is even better if you have an off-center of gravity...makes for more flipping!

Kennywood has a Power Surge? If you are talking about Aero 360, that is a Zamperla Hawk.

These machines are said to be the best high-tech flat rides: <!-- BBCode auto-link start --><a href="http://www.fab.lu/uk/products/topscan.html" target="_blank">http://www.fab.lu/uk/products/topscan.html</a><!-- BBCode auto-link end -->

<BR>I don't know which American parks have them. I think Canada's Wonderland <i>might</i> have one.

I will say that Lagoon in Utah has both a Topscan and a Splashover.Lagoon is suposibly the only park in the U.S. to have a topscan,and the same with a Splashover.

I will agree with PCWfreak,except for Lagoon's Top Scan and Lagoon's Splashover.Even though I'm sure they are exactly the same ride.

<BR>P.S. Don't lose your sushi.
