This ride is fun, but the ride programming is very inconsistent. One cycle it will send riders upside down 5 times in the finale, and the next cycle will only flip riders upside-down once at the very end.

Riptide? Nice look and design and theme at the Roaring Twenties and Boardwalk. Please note these i called the section with this attraction Roaring Twenties/Boardwalk 'cause I love the old RRoaring 20's section and due to my long paragraph, I'm a theme park ride and coaster expert! :) then ;)!
Yeah!

This ride is easily my new favorite flat. I've always looked at Top Spins and wondered what they are like. On my first ride, the ride operator was nice enough to ask us if we wanted it boring or fun. Of course we chose fun, which meant we got the 5 inversion program. He also let whoever wanted to, to stay on for a second cycle. Of course I did. I didn't get a ride in the front however, I did in all get three rides during the 8 hours Knott's was open [which was yesterday a friday]
