Tony Hawks Big Spin (SFSTL)

[punkbunny24242]

First off I am a huge Hawk fan so this may be a little bias. This is one of the best rides I have been on! They actually take a DVD of your ride and the DVD is $20. It is one the smoothest and fun rides I have been on. Plus when you walk out if you check out the computer monitor Tony Hawk signed it with "Big Spin Rocks - Tony Hawk" I will post the picture of the monitor when I get a chance.

Where is this ride located? I've never heard of it. And what exactly does the ride do? Sounds interesting.

[punkbunny24242]

It is right next to Excalibur.

It is a four seater with two people on one side and two people facing across. It is like Raging Cajun only much more intense, fast and smooth. You can actually find the video of Tony Hawk and his mom on the ride on Youtube.

Oh, okay, at SFStl, then.

[punkbunny24242]

Oh yeah... sorry I probably should have mentioned that

[BullInDaBack4Life]

Yeah, I just noticed you changed the topic name. I figured I'd make a post and say that in case someone sees this thread for the first time after you made the change and makes a flame post like "Hey, Dummy. It says SFSTL, can't you read? Read the topic, dumb fart." Some people are just rude like that.

Wow, I never knew the featured On-Ride video on this coaster.

Sounds like a cool feature.

I would gladly trade Ragin Cajun for a Tony Hawk style spinning coaster, or, better yet, for more of traditional wild mouse coaster like Roadrunner at Kentucky Kingdom. For a spinning coaster, sitting opposite each other, like on Tony Hawk, makes for a much smoother ride. I like Ragin Cajun for the 1st half of the ride (the wild mouse part). When it starts spinning like crazy, it gets obnoxious and way too rough. BTW, I rode Tony Hawk in San Antonio, and the Timberland Twister at Mall of America, which is similar.

I would buy an on-ride video from a coaster at SFGAm. Seems worth the money.

I will ride this coaster when I visit SF STL in August, but im not a fan of these type of rides. For me it will just be another ride to add to me coaster count.
I much perfer wild mouse rides like Ricchot at PKD or the one I just rode at ValleyFair(cant rememer the name but the ride was very enjoyable).

I like the wild mouse Wild Cat at CP. It has good drops that give you that feeling in your stomach.

I like RC I like how its a mix of a Wild Mouse and a Spinning Wild Mouse. The reason I like RC is because it's one of the few coasters my non-thrilling coaster friends ride but everytime we do ride it were laughing non-stop on it. The only thing I do not like about it is the random little bump on the ending of the ride.

^RC is a spinning wild mouse. And that bump is probably my favorite part.
