Ha! That's awesome. Too bad it doesn't go too fast.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

I really want to go on that!!

I wish SFGAm had that or a Zipper. I just rode a Zipper twice tonight, oh man, I just love that ride. We went there just to ride the Zipper.

Anyway... it doesn't go that fast, but that still looks pretty damn awesome.

Kinda reminds me of orbit except, going all the way around.

First off, that is one of the most awesome light shows I've ever seen on a Fabbri Ride.

next, I've ridden a few Evolutions all in Europe and the UK, I think there is still one in the US out west, there used to be one in the south but it fell into a sinkhole and was destroyed, and despite having a full load no one died. The ride is ok, nothing spectacular really, and it is just a smaller version of the ride at SFStL exept at SFStL the cars are free to do what ever the ride has them do under graviy, on the Fabbri Version the cars are mechanically tilted.

Not a great ride but not bad either and not very nauseating, it's a bit slow for that.

as long as we're at that site

I know flat ride on rides generally are a waste of time, but that is a decent onride of XXL at Palmkirmes Recklinghausen.

Just to castrate this quote, we can say that King Chaos is mechanically controlled while Power Dive was powered by gravity. It's too sad I was too chicken to ride that thing and King Chaos doesn't offer much except the spinning and the 'drops' are not even drops. It's still a great ride, make no mistake. I'd probably get sick if I went on this ride OR Excalibur just because I never tried it. Revvy gives me enough disorientation.

^King Chaos is mostly mechanically controlled. A lot of it depends on the operator setting and on the amount of people riding. If the weight setting is wrong, the ride will most likely stop up in the air, or go insane..which was scary to see..

King Chaos Gondola is Gravity, only control is a brake to lock the gondola in place, and Power Dive's gondola was fixed position. :)

I like the fake smoke from the bottom, as the ride starts. For some reason, I never liked upside down rides. I think the whole blood rushing to your head, back to your feet thing. Makes me awfully dizzy. It also could've been I was afraid of getting stuck upside down on one of those rides, after the infamous Demon roller coaster incident.

Mini- Top spin.

I'm dizzy after the 4 or 5 flips on king chaos but I'd probably be nauseous after the 15 flips in a row on this ride.
