What Is a Flat Ride?

A "flat ride" refers to attractions at amusement parks, carnivals, fairs, and theme parks that typically spin around. They usually include a circular platform and are located on the ground.

The term is used to generically refer to a broad variety of rides. Depending on their speed and other factors, they may or may not be considered thrill rides. Slow-moving, low-profile, and low-impact attractions are typically grouped into the sub-category, "kiddie rides," and are intended for young riders. More thrilling flat rides that include high speeds and other disorienting features are affectionately known in the amusement industry as "spin-and-spew," "spin-and-puke," or "whirl-and hurl" rides. Lovely imagery, eh?

Examples of flat rides include:
Tilt-A-Whirl
Scrambler
Round Up
Flying Bobs
Gravitron
