Personally, I sort of like those better than Top Spins, due to their rotation. The downside is that it rotates kinda slow and the restraints aren't padded at all so it hurts your neck. Still in my opinion better, due to flipping in weird directions.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

There were a couple in the US, but all but one have been dismantled and scrapped. Only one left in the US is at Mall of America. Knotts and Six Flags America both had one but removed them due to maintenance issues. I guess mechanically they are utter garbage(they are Italian after all). I like the ride experience though. I'd put it above most Top Spins running programs, manually operated Top Spins though would put it to shame.

Hey, Hey now FParker, Not All Italian Rides are Garbage.

I rode it at the Mall Of America in 08 and It was amazing. It's one of only a couple rides that I've ridden that I've been Scared on.


Its Probably similar to A Zamperla Power Surge.

Meh. I rode the one at MOA and was not impressed at all.

I will take a topspin any day.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Ride Quality wise only italian rides tend to be good

Mechanically, electrically, hydraulically, etc they are all garbage, though Technical Park and Fabbri have made strides recently, still you don't see a big rush of parks or carnival operators asking them for rides.

I tried that Street Fighter from Technical Park, and it's too low of capacity. It's only has 16 seats. It's not that easy to get on as a Freak Out, or the bigger Afterburner either. I take the Zipper over our King Chaos even though it can't freeze the cars so they go towards a pool full of water, and hurt your shoulders in the process. :lol: That is the most stupidest thing ever.

I rode it at The Mall of America. It's called the axe i believe. It's was pretty fun and different, but the restraints were very uncomfortable. Especially for the hanging upside-down and sideways parts.

This used to be the best ride at MOA until the revamp into Nickelodean Univerise. It's not incredible, but it is kinda fun.

I thought the ride was kinda fun, but it took forever for the employees to load it.
