Giant canyon swing always gets me. Obvi it has the positives and floater like any s&s swing, but the acrophobia of feeling like youre about to be hurled off a cliff, combined with the amazing scenery makes it such a top notch installation for me.

    Seconding Zippers, such an old school and intense experience. Speaking of old school, I got to ride a Roll o Plane for the first time recently at Knoebels and that was super fun too, and surprisingly intense.

    I think Screaming Swings in general would be my 2nd favorite. I’m just always annoyed by how short the ride cycles are!

      Knoebels is actually working on adding a Rock-o-Plane as well… I’m so looking forward to that. I really would love to see them add a Zipper as well.

      The real win would be if they could find a Chance Turbo (only 20ish were ever made)… That’s one of two rides that I would do nearly anything to be able to ride… The other one is a Huss Booster but only 3 of those were ever made.

          That’s one way to describe it haha… looks like so much fun… It’s like that moment on the Zipper when it throws you face first at the ground except… constantly lol
