Pandemonium

I’m enjoying reading Eric S.‘s reviews. He provides all the details needed and gives a description of what it’s like to actually be on this ride. I believe I’ve been to four parks that included this ride. SFSL, SFOT, SFFT and World’s of fun. There might be a possibility that Knott’s Berry Farm in California, also had one of these rides. Do not attempt to ride if you get dizzy easily. Although sometimes, the cars don’t spin as much as they should.

Has the potential to be lots of fun… if you know how to work the system. More on that later.
As of last count, there are 7 of these Gerstlauer spinning coaster installments across the USA, and they’re all identical. The only differences are the name/​theming and location within the amusement park (for example, SFOT and SFSL have theirs on Tarmac in the middle of the park [yawn], while SFFT’s has theirs at the far end on a nice grassy area). Each ride is approximately 50ft high and only gets up to 30mph, but the fun factor comes from the spinning craziness.
As soon as the individual 4-​person cars disengage from the lift, they begin rotating freely. In accordance with the laws of physics, the more weight per car, the greater the momentum. The trick is to load all of the weight on one side of the car, in order to force rotation in that direction. Basically, the more unbalanced the car is, the more plentiful the spinning will be. So round up a couple fat friends and hop on any one of Six Flags’ Pandemonium’s!
