Evolution - Six Flags Great Adventure - 1999

[bittyrock]

Evolution was always down

[MrArnold1972]

this is a copy of the german ride."the imperator."

[Christinada5]

If my memory serves me right, I think Astroworld had a ride like this, same name and everything, but it was rarely in use due to mechanical issues and then was finally shutdown, and moved to another SF

[Christinada5]

I've been to many of the SixFlags parks over the years but have never had a chance to ride this. From the looks of this thing in the video I think I would have probably chickened out anyway. I rode something at the state fair here, that looked similar with the same name Evolution but it didn't go all the way around and upside down, just side to side. Once I turned 30 I swore off anything too far off the ground lol

[fantalosty]

Vert Fast! :O

[joey053187]

this peice of shit is long gone thank god

[wallefan10]

I would like the spinny part, not so much the upside-downish part

[woodencoasterfan]

Looks like they put a giant wheel in it's place.

[tily1212]

i was in mirabilandia two weeks ago

where is this now

[DMmari152]

this is not in italy anymore....Mirabilandia doesn't have this xD

[MultiMonkey96]

this is not there any more??

[cluckyclucky]

Oooo I went on this before in Great Adventure 3 times in a row. Bloody dizzy when I got off.

[GaldorCiryatan]

Das Original, nur dieser und der Imperator sind echt die größten Karrussels auf der Welt. Ich meine diese Fahrweise.

[alex62495]

its been a great addition here in six flags st louis (we really needed it)

[FuryRanger]

I always wanted to ride this and Pendulum, but I was too short. Unfortunately, they got rid of them before I was tall enough.

They really do look fun.

[wd1233]

yea i remember my brothers nicknaming this ride the puke machine but i could never go on it or that ride TIme Warp either

[iamgod314]

wanst that behind the bumper cars that are now blocked off??

[johnrea77]

The ride behind the bumper cars was the "Pendulum" which is now called the "Revolution" at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL. The generic name for the ride made by Huss is "Frisbee" The EVOLUTION was located between the Giant Wheel and Skull Mountain. Last I knew you could still see the area where the ride operated from the imprint. I'm not sure why, but it seems like rides run more reliably once they leave SFGAdv.

[doald]

@johnrea77 this is not a fisbie its alike ,but way different frisbie are not weighted on top and dont go all the way around and the chairs dont go upside down spinning,

[Coasta101]

I remember this back in 2001... I went up to the gate and said: "Dad when I get older I wanna ride this...." never got the chance.... :*(

[tily1212]

go in italy

[Beethoven1111]

I hear Chiller in the background... got any videos of that too? This is a great video of the park at one of its better times

[NitroGadvRules]

Both sides too. This was a great time for the park. Ride operations are definitely better today though.

[darkridedan]

Ride Operations was great then too. It wasn't hot at all from 2004 - 2006.

[towles95]

its not scary but it will make u throw up like shit 10 years snice i last rode this

[uKnowULoveMEXX]

is this the ride that used to be behide the bumper cars?

[johnrea77]

That ride would have been Pendulum, a HUSS Frisbee that is now at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL and is not called Revolution. The EVOLUTION ride in this video has been at Six Flags St Louis since 2004 and is now called XCALIBUR. The other two Giant Evolution rides are not currently in operation.

[johnrea77]

I meant "now called Revolution"

[intrepidpiscean]

yeah, this opened in 2002 or 2003 here at sfstl, i dont think we bought it from six flags great adventure though...since the six flags parks are all owned by the same company

[2Rean2]

why did they remove this!??!

[Faithandserenabffs2]

it looks kinda funn but kinda stupidd too. but cant dis it i havent been on it sooo. ya =]

[darkridedan]

It was allot of fun!

[Namine12354]

i went on this went i was 7 i think.its was scary!!!

[mypianoheadcase]

i road this ride it was awesome

[alankendrick]

Good God

[Ballet33Hottie]

SO SCARY!!!

[UCONNcheer1997]

I actually rode this on one of the rare occasions that it was open at Great Adventure. My sister and I would go to the park all the time and one day we saw it operating when we walked into the park and it was the first ride we rode. I loved it.

[bittyrock]

Everytime I've been this has been Closed!

[cygnus122]

I saw this ride running once and by the time it was open, I was already too nauseous to ride. I should have just sucked it up and went on if I knew it would be gone soon after. Now I have to go to St. Louis just to ride a 'real' Bussink Evolution.

Or I could just go all the way and travel to Europe to ride the traveling 'Imperator.'

[ohhsocuteeee]

omg i remember this when i was like younger and my cousinnn went on it and i was still too little. now they took it downn

[2167rulzs]

i fell sick

[AandFMooseFace]

i rember this fucking thing

it was never open because it broke down alot.

[jacklovesdivas]

me being a complete wimp could never go on that

[VideoEnthusiast1]

What a strange ride. The rotating wheel and it's passenger cars almost resemble an enterprise. It does a complete 360 attached to that giant arm.

[brisitaer]

This is the best ride I've ever had in my life, it was in Mirabilandia, quite some time ago, I took it 3 times in a row.. Fantastic..

A little too many people puked though.. the control room had windscreen-wipers... Incredible.

I miss it too much though, anyone knows where it is still possible to ride it? The nearest to italy?

Thanks

[kevkev44]

The other two I believe are still traveling around in European fairs, it's rare to see one operating.

[fratguy68]

ohhh i puked on this ride a long time ago.

[N0spHeratUs]

i've seen this at Mirabilandia: too scared for going on that

[vedved82491]

I believe the one at Mirabilandia was Imperator.

[jasperus]

This is in Mirabilandia, I've been on it and it was scary, and many people vomited afterwards so they cancelled this 'gadget'...

[N0spHeratUs]

Yes, but the name was Evolution

[djavatar]

WOW!! Thanks!!

[coasterfreak11892]

Thanks for the Upload, nice shot of Evolution.
