I've been a big fan of this amusement park spin ride ever since I went on the one in Wisconsin Dells a few years back. Finally, our area is getting not just one, but two!Both Fantasy Island (Grand Island, NY) and Waldameer Park (Erie, PA) are getting a Disk'O this year. And there's a third one not too much further in Pittsburgh at Kennywood Park. When run right (fast spinning in both directions), this is an amazing ride. See for yourself with a POV ride here.
While this is amazing news that a Disk'O will finally be near Buffalo this summer, there are a few other rides I'd sure love to see come to our area. Click on the ride name to see a video of the ride in action and "POV" to experience what's it's like to be on the ride. But be careful - don't fall out of your chair! :)
Frisbee (Huss): This is the ride I'd most like to see come to our area. The regular version Frisbee is far better than the XL Frisbee. This would be a perfect ride for Darien Lake, as I know they'd run it right (full speed with extremely fast spinning and swinging). POV
Top Scan (Mondial): This would be awesome over or near one of the "lakes" at Darien Lake. Canada's Wonderland has one called "Shockwave", but it's usually on a dull and short cycle. This ride is meant to be run manually for the ultimate experience. POV
Breakdance (Huss): A classic that was fun to both ride & watch at Astroland in Coney Island. The entire area around this ride can be turned into a party with the help of a live DJ and rides custom tailored to who's on it at the time. POV

But I'm hoping they make their way to somewhere in the northeast US soon...
Moondance (Technical Park): This one looks amazing! I so what to go overseas just to try this. Without even riding it, I can tell this one is so much fun. POV
Take Off (Huss): Platform spin rides are so cool. And this one looks insane. POV
Speed Flip (Moser Rides): I'm guessing most people would consider this one a headache about to happen. But it looks fun to me. POV
