This was the gold standard of crazy, scary, fun when I was growing up. I don't think we realized how special it was back then, we just enjoyed it. Such classic perfection. Thanks for posting! Next up?...the Himalaya ride?
Some 15 to 20 years ago there were transportable versions of this ride that came to the yearly fun fair in my city (Tilburg, Netherlands). Had oodles of fun riding them - was always a sad moment when you felt it was coming down from vertical again. A good solution to that problem was to buy 10 tickets and remain seated 😁😁. Nice vid!
When he says he’s enclosed in a cage, no belt restraints or anything, I was like Nope!! I’d be too afraid of falling out even though it obviously wouldn’t happen with the G forces, but still looks scary to me!
YES!!!!! I was just saying in another video that's the one I rode on as a young child with my friend. She was the brave on and drug me on it, twice. We could ride together.
THANK YOU! Thank you for filming and posting this!! As a teenager, I rode this several times at Magic Mountain in Valencia, Calif. during 1979-80, but I couldn't remember its name. I've periodically searched for it over the years -- even tried describing it to people (THAT got me a lot of weird looks). It's not among the current or discontinued MM-Valencia rides in Coasterpedia Wiki. BUT THIS IS IT!! I'm not crazy! (I actually skimmed thru the 400 comments here and found 3 other folks who also remember it fondly! One of them called it The Orleans, but that doesn't turn up in any MM Valencia searches, either.) This ride was the greatest. I sometimes have trouble with the fast-drop rides (for years I avoided Pirates of thr Caribbean at Disneyland after surviving that first drop as a kid) ... but this doesn't give that same queasy feeling. This one was just a major rush.. I'm so happy to have finally located it.
I LOVE THIS RIDE !!! I rode the enterprise many times in Coney Island in NYC ... it’s so much fun & so relaxing to me ! I also rode a smaller one in Six Flags great adventure in Jackson NJ
YES!!! Enterprise POV, thank you! makes me really miss my beloved "Spinnaker" (SFOT)/ "Wagon Wheel" (SFFT), and the wonderful "Witches Wheel" from Cedar Point. R.I.P. but now i have a POV to watch anytime I wanna!
I was an Enterprise ride foreman in the early ‘80s. “If you feel the need to leave a heave, lean over that left side, don’t get it on me.” I loved that machine for its hydraulic system that made the acceleration so smooth.
Rode the one that was at Ky Kingdom and it was definitely a fun ride. It was also my daughter's first ever upside down ride. She rode with her daddy and I could hear her squealing and laughing the whole time.
Favorite flat ride ever. I grew up in the enterprise golden age and rode them at Dorney Park, Hershey Park, Kennywood, Great Adventure, Kings Dominion, Geauga Lake, Cedar Point, and Lagoon.
To this day I still love the classic scrambler. I miss the shake rattle and roll that was at Six Flags over Georgia. It was a indoor scrambler that played oldies rock classics as it the ride was going.
Rode this as a teenager in the 90’s at Camden park in Huntington West Virginia. Awesome ride but for some reason it didn’t stay at the park very long. Thanks for the video reminds of the experience I had back in the day.
There's two of them in Finland, at Linnanmäki and Power Park. I've ridden the one at Linnanmäki, its a nice ride. There also used to be a 3rd at Tykkimäki, but it was removed a year ago.
I also went on that at linnanmäki, before I didn’t even know they existed and only knew them from rct2. I was like, woah! These things actually exist?! And it was so fun to ride, I think I went 5 times that day lol.
@@jjh2456 they do however it’s a different model so they only make parts for enterprises newer than 2015. Which is why Thorpe Park upgraded their Huss enterprise Zodiac. And why Alton towers also did it recently
I haven't been on one of these since January 1990. I used to love it. Can't wait to go to another park that has one and relive some great memories! The last two times their Enterprise wheels were closed for maintenance 😐
I rode one in Karlsruhe in the 90ies. The centrifugal force was so strong that my friend and I (in one cabin) laughed so hard that we nearly peed on ourselves. This was one of my absolutely favorite rides.
In the 90's I rode a ride like this at Cedar point. Not sure if the ride is still there. I loved it and was shocked that there was no seat belt. Of course after riding I understood why. Very cool ride!
I've ridden one in Six Flags Walibi Belgium (now just Walibi), but the ride has been removed. I've also ridden one on a carnaval. Great ride, because you don't get sick in it like many of the new ones...
Magic Mountain... so many times and in a row too... it came out just a year or so after the Great American Revolution opened in 1976. Going upside down in a vertical loop was popular in any way.
That's the best one I have ever ridden, It seems to jerk you around a few times which makes for a more fun ride imo. Also feels faster to me than Witches Wheel did.
Kentucky Kingdom had one, but it was replaced for the 2018 season by a loop coaster called Eye of the Storm. Last time I rode it was back in 2017 and the car I was in had a loose bolt, added to the excitement. :)
This is one of my favorite rides. I used to ride the one at wild world in the 80s n early 90s. Then became adventure world in the Washington DC suburbs of Md.! It’s now a six flags America. Then they also had one at kings dominion in Virginia. They both are sadly gone now. Last one I rode was at a carnival around 2000-01. I built a working model of this ride in ho scale. Will always be a favorite wheel ride of mines, next to the king “The Skydiver”!! It’s so sad to see all these classics slowly disappearing. Another one disappearing is “The Skywheel” 💖😢
The only times I've ridden one of these was Canada's Wonderland. Not gonna lie, at first I thought it was gonna be a ride I couldn't handle, that I'd get sick, and I don't even remember why I initially decided to finally try it, but I really enjoyed it and it became something I'd ride almost every time I visited, until they took it out last year.
I used to Ride Cedar Point’s “witches wheel.” Always loved it. It was right between Magnum and Gemini, so it was mandatory to stop at the witches wheel on your way from one coaster to the other :)

They have one of these at California’s Great America which I live really close to and these look like they make you really dizzy but they actually don’t it’s super fun.
I love thrill rides and the Enterprise is and will always be my favorite ride of all time. Sad to hear they are a dying breed because they are so much fun.
I’ve ridden one at lagoon park in Utah called centennial screamer. In fact it was one of the first rides I had ever ridden that went upside down. I rode it before I ever got into a coaster. But I think it was because my dad told me it didn’t go upside down. I also have ridden one at six flags over Georgia and I know that one was the first upside down ride my kid went on because I told her it didn’t go upside down.
1976 at Six Flags Mid America. Counted 20 rotations at full angle. Witches wheel at Cedar Point never did more than 2 whenever I rode it. Last one was at Kennywood in 2017.

Yes! Plus the Skydiver and the Zipper!
Marilyn Edans same
Remember when this ride was New, about 40 years?
Himalaya🔥👌🏾🏅💯💯💯
These were the best. No seatbelt just a cage and centrifugal force. The one at my local six flags closed last yesr😭
Highland Fling... RIP. Replaced by a shitty copy of it with a Supergirl theme.
My first one was The Spinnaker at SFOT in 1982. Love these old classic Enterprises. Great fun!

ive ridden one twice lol theres no way you would fall out the g force pushes you in the cage
Even if it got stuck the car would swing out and not be stuck upside down
I'd get dizzy real quick on this. I love how wacky it is though
Have you ever ridden a roundabout? Or Gravitron? Same principals involved.
@@PhoenixHinds not a roundabout lol. I go flying on those thinga
RIP Witches Wheel, Cedar Point
It's gone?? 😔👎
Christine yeah they took it out last year I think
YES!!!!! I was just saying in another video that's the one I rode on as a young child with my friend. She was the brave on and drug me on it, twice. We could ride together.
Ngl, I only know of these because of roller coaster tycoon 3
Ngl, I only know of these because of roller coaster tycoon 2
@@fuchslochtv I always have to built them in my parks in RCT2
Just looking at Enterprise 1 makes me feel sick
I know them cause Cause I traveled to Egypt and someone told me about a them park there and I saw and enter praise
It’s such a fun ride! We would ride this back in the 80s at Seattle Center. Thanks for posting - brings back some great memories! 🎡

Wow, I haven’t ridden one of these since I was a teenager. Loved this ride! Thanks for the awesome video!
I was in this exact ride today, and still loved it just like I did when I was a kid 😁
It looks fun but my stomach feels a bit queasy just watching so I'm just gonna watch you go on it Robb it's way more fun :)
They have this at Lagoon in Utah, it’s super fun as long as you take Dramamine before hand haha!
Great point. Fair rides give me serious motion sickness to the point I can't drive.
Hands down was my favorite ride in the park when I was finally talk enough to ride big rides. Mine was in Coney Island when there was Astroland
The zipper there was the best too! And my favorite the skydiver 💖💖💯
I’m so glad you are filming classic flat rides like the Enterprise one of my favourite rides of all time
This was my favorite ride at Fiesta Texas. RIP Wagon Wheel 1996-2011
The Wheelie at Six Flags Over Georgia (1977 - 2012).
I used to ride it many many times. Oh, how I miss it...
Dude I love your channel been watching for about 4 years but to me this is by far the scariest thing I have seen

but now i have a POV to watch anytime I wanna!
One of my favorite flat rides to ever exist! The one at the fair in Winston-Salem doesn't go upside down, but still fun!!
I was an Enterprise ride foreman in the early ‘80s. “If you feel the need to leave a heave, lean over that left side, don’t get it on me.” I loved that machine for its hydraulic system that made the acceleration so smooth.
My favorite ever from Six Flags in Chicago. I remember riding this as a little kid and never wanting to get off!
Ive gone in all the rides in Drievliet in the Netherlands exept 2 and i speak dutch, Ik heb een hele spreekbeurt over drievliet gedaan
Rode the one that was at Ky Kingdom and it was definitely a fun ride. It was also my daughter's first ever upside down ride. She rode with her daddy and I could hear her squealing and laughing the whole time.

One of my favorite rides, always rode it every time we went to six flags Kentucky kingdom 🤘🏻
I love it. Still feels futuristic and alien. Classic that should never die.
To this day I still love the classic scrambler. I miss the shake rattle and roll that was at Six Flags over Georgia. It was a indoor scrambler that played oldies rock classics as it the ride was going.
My Dad always talks about that ride. He said it made him sick but he thought it was cool for what it was. He loved the music aspect

The Spin Meister? It's gone. Been gone for years.
There's two of them in Finland, at Linnanmäki and Power Park. I've ridden the one at Linnanmäki, its a nice ride. There also used to be a 3rd at Tykkimäki, but it was removed a year ago.

It was originally called the Enterprise as well until recently. I used to ride it all the time as a teen. One fun ride.
we also had a top spin
It’s getting shut

How Many Coaster Credits Do You Have?
I have 67
I remember riding the Witch's Wheel at Cedar Point in Sandusky OH. I loved that ride!
I loved the Witch's Wheel at CP. I am gutted that i didn't get to ride it the last time last year before removing it.
I haven't been on one of these since January 1990. I used to love it. Can't wait to go to another park that has one and relive some great memories! The last two times their Enterprise wheels were closed for maintenance 😐
A very fun and comfortable ride, great break off of your feet from walking around the park, etc.
We still have ours at my home park of California’s Great America! I ride it every time I go to try to get Cedar Fair to keep it!
I rode one in Karlsruhe in the 90ies. The centrifugal force was so strong that my friend and I (in one cabin) laughed so hard that we nearly peed on ourselves. This was one of my absolutely favorite rides.
This is great, not too extreme, quite relaxing actually.

They just took witch's wheel out last season and put a new restaurant in for this year. It was my favorite flat ride. Was sad to see it go.
This is one of my all time favorites!
I love that ride!
I've ridden one in Six Flags Walibi Belgium (now just Walibi), but the ride has been removed.
I've also ridden one on a carnaval.
Great ride, because you don't get sick in it like many of the new ones...
I always thought it was a lot of fun. I rode the one at Six Flags over Georgia multiple times over the years :)
Whenever I see your video I am happy.
Magic Mountain... so many times and in a row too... it came out just a year or so after the Great American Revolution opened in 1976. Going upside down in a vertical loop was popular in any way.
Just rode the one at Six Flags Darien Lake. Ran with such G's that I experienced my first ever gray-out.
So simple, so GREAT!
Six Flags Darrien Lake, New York it's a fun ride every time
That's the best one I have ever ridden, It seems to jerk you around a few times which makes for a more fun ride imo. Also feels faster to me than Witches Wheel did.
Yeah Silver Bullet is really fun
"Bye, lunch!" 🤣 There used to be one of these at King's Dominion in Virginia. It was called the Apple Turnover, I think?
I always rode it at Dorney Park, not sure if it's still there.
The Sol Loco at Canada's Wonderland was the ride I'd go on to relax. It is soothing to me.
Years ago there was one of these at Hersheypark called The Cyclops. I used to love it but now that I'm old I don't know if I could do it anymore.
Enterprise was my first inverted ride. Loved it! If I see one I always try to have a go.
One of my Lifetime FAV Rides. :-)
No restraints needed because science! Centrifugal force is a magnificent thing! Never ridden one but it looks like a ton of fun!
i love this ride so much
Kentucky Kingdom had one, but it was replaced for the 2018 season by a loop coaster called Eye of the Storm. Last time I rode it was back in 2017 and the car I was in had a loose bolt, added to the excitement. :)
Greg Walker it was replaced by a Zamperla Endeavor.

There’s one at lagoon amusement park in Farmington Utah
Centennial Screamer.
there used to be one at Great America in San Jose. I remember riding it there. It was one of my all-time faves
Rode one of these a few times here in the UK, not sure if we have them anymore, great ride
Brilliant video felt like I was on it
Valley fair mn and cedar point oh...both now gone. My favorite ride. Valley fair had the west Germany from huss plate on it. Miss that ride
Woah, crazy ride
I love this ride!
Rode Skylab @ Kings Island. Loved it!
Nightwing @ Six Flags New England... rare HUSS Fly Away and one of the only rides themed to Nightwing.
Last time that I have ridden one of those, I ended up getting sick afterwards. So worth it.
There one at Thorpe park in the uk called zodiac. It was the first and only time I've rode one like it.
TIM _SKETCHY zodiac is so short tho :(
Looks so awesome to ride
Great footage
I rode the Highland Fling at Six Flags St. Louis every time I went there. Awesome ride every single time.
I ❤’d that one as well…. Late 70’s for me…
I rode the witch's wheel at Cedar Point. It was removed in the off season, though.

i rode one once at CGA. it was really fun (only two other friends went with me because my other friends were scared lol)
Valleyfair had that ride. It was fun.
I’ve never been on one of those kinds of rides but I’m going to Six flags today
I remember a similar ride at Palisades Amusement Park, NJ. Sadly it was torn down and replaced with condos but it was a fantastic ride.
I’ve ridden one at lagoon park in Utah called centennial screamer. In fact it was one of the first rides I had ever ridden that went upside down. I rode it before I ever got into a coaster. But I think it was because my dad told me it didn’t go upside down.

I remember going on this ride at a carnival growing up. They are so much fun! wow! How did you get toGermany so fast!? Love guys!
This is similar to the wagon wheel they USED to have @ six flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio! I used to ride the hell out of it long time ago.😊
I rode the one in Alton Towers, don't know if it's gone or not but it was very fun. It wasn't scary for me, but definetly a exhilarating warm up ride before going on the other ones.
One of my favorites
You can really feel this ride even tho your not there I literally felt my stomach drop when you go down from being upside down
Awesome ride. Rode it at Hershey park.
