Best parks for someone who hates spinning rides

Started by EliEjectorSeat on Jun 21, 2026 6:10 PM

My friend can do launches and inversions but spinning messes them up. Need trip ideas that wont be a disaster.

Steel Vengeance is great but the line and locker mess made me grumpy before I even sat down. I know folks wont like that but whatever.

Photo approvals are a good idea tbh. Otherwise every page turns into blurry station pics.

That holding brake is still one of the best crowd pleasers in any park. People scream before anything even happens.

Front row for views, back row for drops. Middle row is for when the grouper hates you.

I still love boomerangs when they run decent. They are simple but the backwards part gets GP every time.

You guys confuse painful with intense. Those are not the same thing.

Quoting the last point: no, thats exactly the thoosie brain rot I mean. A little roughness is fine. jackhammering is not personality, its just bad maintenance.

No way Magnum is better than most gigas. Its historically important but come on now.

People clown on clones but a good clone is better than a weird custom layout that does nothing. Also sorry but that take is wild.

Unpopular opinion but I would take a good family launch coaster over a rough looping coaster every day.

The ops can change the whole day too. A slow crew makes even a great coaster feel worse cause your already irritated.

I wish more parks bought Extreme Spinners but I bet capacity and cost scare them off.
