Exclamation Mondial Top Scan
I was wondering if anyone has ever been on a Mondial Top Scan?? If you have can you explain to me what the ride actually does?

It is pretty much just a next gen version of the Huss Top Spin. both arms move independatly, and some parks put a wall of water at the bottom you go through each time you come to the bottom (Cliffhanger @ PCW)

This sounds like Force 10, but I could be wrong.

Actually, there is this big counter weighted arm on a hydrolic lift, then on one end there is 6(?) 6(?) seater cars, the cars are on a moterized "turntable" that is attatched to the main arm, then each car is free to do loops from gravity. It is a really BIG and forceful ride!

I believe you're thinking of the Splash Over.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Shockwave at PCW a top scan? Here's the stats on it.

That ride is very dissorianting. It's also quite a nut buster, due to the rough flips.

This is my favourite flat ride - surprising considering a hate top spins (they make me feel sick). Very intemse,tall (although you are upside down anyway at the top). Much better than top spins.

If you ever get a chance to ride one take that chance,because they are awesome.

If you are in America the only park that currently has a Top Scan is Lagoon In Utah
