this ride was the bomb not really thats the thunderbolt but this was great kennywood needs to think about the customers or whatever u wanna call em but you should think do more people want this ride gone for a new one or are we making money as it is at fucking 60 dollars a person or should we risk losing customers
This was always one of my favorites...so sad they took it out :( They need to find a place for it in Lost Kennywood...or they could just get rid of the stupid Chaos thing.
I rode this whenever I was little so of course I was terrified and hated it. I just rember being fine untill it sat up there and than went reverse I went absolutley insane and began crying. So I can't tell weather I like it or not. but I love the Cosmic Choas
Cosmic Chaos is fun but not as fun as Flying Carpet. Cosmic Chaos squeezes you against the dam seat and then when your in the seat while its spinning it crushes you even more and you wanna puke!
God I miss this ride! And they replaced with with that dumbass Cosmic Chaos which smashes your nuts like never before. Its like a trap from the movie Saw.
i no i want da flyn carpet back thatb ride was so funny i remember when i was little and we stayed up there i thought we waz stuck that waz the ride i cannot wait until pennhills picnic may 28 that iz da day. like e mail me some one
OMG. I hate this ride. I was bruised all over later, because when it pushes you forward when going round, the metal bar hits you in the chest. It really hurts! There is one of these in Scotland
omg the cosmic chas lol what were u thinking well what would u say if the seat was better lol hahahahahaha and this is how u spell it cosmic choas lol yall funny
The Flying Carpet was one of my favorite rides, I wish they would bring it back!!!! Kennywood defenitley needs more rollorecoasters. BRING THE FLYING CARPET BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i loved this ride. one of the best kennywod ever had. i used to ride it like 15 times a day. one time i decided to put my hands up (dumb move) and punched a guy in the back of the head. he was so mad. i thought i was gonna get beat up. it was funny though. good memories
This was a fantastic ride. I'm realyl gald and lucky I got to ride it in it's last season as it was my first time to Kennywood on it's last year. Only model like this left is at Busch Gardens Europe now. Davincci's Cradle I believe.
I redesigned the controls in 2001 to bring them up to modern day standards. My original idea was to apply a motion controller to the 200hp drive attached to the carriage. However that fell through when I realized that 200hp was not enough to accurately position the carriage. So I reconfigured the controls for an 'open loop' control. I.E. 'Pumping' the carriage up with the help of gravity. I was the first to ride after the upgrade. It was a great ride. Sad to see it was dismantled.
That was my favorite ride at kennywood and they put the dumb cosmic chaos where it use to be. Im going to Waldameer mark tomarow and they have a bigger version of this ride so i cant wait cuz it will make me think of kennywood. This was always the fisrt ride i rode when i went there and i got on it like 10 times a day lol....I miss this ride so much.
...that was after riding the Roll-O-Plane and the Wipeout...I never rode those rides again either. I remember having to sit down for almost 30 minutes before I could ride again, and I was only 25! A few years ago I was riding a kiddieland ride with my niece & nephew, the spinning teacup ride, and almost got sick, I had to close my eyes. Damn do I feel old! Don't you just love those Kennywood Memories? lol
I heard they're expanding...size wise. Into that empty lot across the street, where dollar general and crap used to be. That's what I heard on the news at least. I have no idea what they'll do about the road though haha.
I haven't been to Kennywood in several years, but this was one of my favorite rides. I'm really going to miss it. They seemed to have changed it. I definitely remember it used to swing back and forth a few more times than in this video before it would get all the way around. The ride seems so rushed in the video. I must have been lucky to ride it in it's pre-breakdown era, because it was always working when I was there. Gave great butterfiles in your stomach, too. I loved it!
dude..i miss this ride....but it would always break down...and it sometimes made me get a headache or pain in the back..but other than that it was one of my favorites..but i do agree Cosmic Chaos is a bit better!!
Well, Kennywood doesn't have it anymore. They took it out to put in Cosmic Chaos (which is a much better ride in my opinion). This is a pretty standard amusement park ride, having debuted in Kwood in 1989. I'm sure there are more around then just one or two.
Yeah they have one at Six Flags New England just not with that theming its called the Buzzsaw, used to be called the Slingshot when the park was Riverside
This Flying Carpet was so awesome. I rode it in 2005 and was blown away. It was so fast! I'll miss it a lot when I visit again in 2008. It was apparently a maintenance nightmare to keep running though. Too bad. It was such a great ride.
This ride was donated to parque diversiones in costa rica
