A HUSS Pendulum that opened in 2004 and was relocated from Six Flags Great Adventure.

You say you want a revolution, well you know...

Red, white and blue! stars and sripes! If we didn't have the American Revolution, we wouldn't have the ride! Revolution swings and spins it's riders much better than Freak out does. When you begin, it doesn't feel like much. Don't let this fool you. Soon after, you will find yourself at the mercy of the laws of physics! If you enjoy spinning, you are sure to love Revolution. If spinning rides tend to disagree with your stomach, this ride may not be your first choice. However, this is one of the best flat rides in the park if you can tolerate it. Give Revolution a go! Swing and spin until you can't anymore!
8.5/10

Revolution spins riders one way, and than spins riders the other way much faster. It's a pendulum type of ride. Riders sit in a huge circle which is the ride. Ride is much too slow for me. It's a very weak child of the Scat you can find at some carnivals. It just bores me.

Revolution:
2/10

Revolution is one of Great America's best flats. While the cycle could be longer, and yes, I know carnivals have faster ones, but I can't tell you the last time I saw one at a Carnival. Soooooooooooooooo let's just enjoy Revy, Viva La Revolution. Kudos to the best ride cres in the park. :o

When no one is on this it flies. My only gripe about the ride is the stupid mechanism that has to click 3 times before the ride will operate. Some seats are too sung and others a little looser. I think the ride needs more spinning. Like from the beginning of the ride.

One of the rides that I myself have had the honor of operating. Note sarcastic undertone of previous sentence.

Working experience aside, this is one of the best flats in the park (#1 being King Chaos). The ride will swing you in a pendulum-like motion while spinning the entire gondola. This is a fun ride, especially at the times when you are at the highest point in the gondola while at the highest point in the spin (happens 1-2 times during the ride). Not much else to say, except that this is a nausea-inducing ride, so DON'T RIDE ON A FULL STOMACH! Also, don't leave your shit at the entrance. There's a bin at the exit, which makes everything easier for everyone and doesn't piss off the ride operator when he can't load because you put your shit in the wrong place.
I can't stress the previous point enough. But, I digress.

Revolution
7.5/10

Final note: Say hi to Brandon if he's working there ;)
