Huss Giant Rides

Sean,
While I can't speak about PKI's recent flats or Sledgehammer, I can say that
PCW has quite a selection of major flats. Their Mondial Top Spin, Top Scan,
and Frisbee are something to see indeed. I have heard that Delirium is
amazing and Tomb Raider is quite a good ride as well. Either way you go,
you're sure to ride some good flats, regardless. I hope this helps.

Yes I have never been to PCW but... I can see it is a park I must
definately go to, being more of a fan of flat rides than coasters.
They have quite a few units which are the only ones on the continent -
Skylab and Magic to name two. Their mix of HUSS flats is the best in
North America.

Slight correction- the Huss Magic you are probably referring to (that
being the only one in North America) is actually at Marineland of
Canada in Niagara Falls. Like everything else at Marineland, it is
randomly placed and themed with large black bear molds all over it
(!).

On PCW, the park is a true showcase of modern and modern antique flat
rides. The added benefit is that most of them are run considerably
well, at least compared with the average North American themer.

The Huss Sky Lab and Mondial Revolution are the only ones in North
America (I think the Revolution "Psyclone" is the only one Mondial has
built to date anywhere). Aside from its larger than average
Enterprise size, the Sky Lab is nothing to write home about.

Other somewhat rare flats at PCW include a Huss UFO, Mack Raging Seas
(unsure if it is being reinstalled this year after being removed in
favor of the new Zamperla Volare Coaster), and a Mondial Splashover-
one of two that Mondial has built.

Yes I stand corrected on the HUSS Magic - well I got the country right
anyway ;)

I can remember seeing a HUSS 'Disco Round' on a park website in Canada
- I think it may have even been Quebec? This one is a rarity, and a
ride I know very little about. It seems something like a sit-down
version of the Gravitron, tilting too, but HUSS claims it has some
sort of interactive component to it - is something played on a screen
in the middle? I'm thinking this 'interactive' component could not be
anything too high-tech by today's standards since this ride was first
built around 1986.

Speaking of rare Huss rides, has Huss sold a Ben Hur? There aren't that many
Speedy's either. I've seen the video of the Flic Flac, and while the ride
looks intense, has anyone actually ridden one and how is it?

In my past experiences and comparing Huss to it's imitation competitors, I
always found Huss to be more intense and always got repeat rides out of me.
