A sibling of Darien Lake's "Twister"

If you like flipping upside down, I'm sure you've been on Twister at Darien Lake. Something frequently heard coming from the ride - people counting how many times they go upside down. Usually, the number is about four or five.

If you were riding a similar ride overseas though, the number would be a lot higher. Manually running rides is an art form in other countries and results in each ride being a completely different experience.

Check out this video of a Top Spin in Germany (same thing as Darien Lake's Twister, but with a different name). Imagine being lucky enough to get on a ride that's run like this!
