    Yeah, it barely spins. I was watching it all day on Sunday.

    Well I guess they are 2 for 2 on new rides not running as intended. I’m sure it’s still awesome and all but seems a little disappointing. Guess I’ll be calling it Harley Quinn Swingsanity. I might be stopping at Kennywood next week so I’ll have to see if theirs is better after I go to SFNE this weekend.

    Black widow definitely spins more, plus it’s in a way cooler spot. Haven’t been on barely yet tho so I can’t judge.

    Harley Quinn spins the same as The Riddler Revenge at Six Flags Over Texas. The ride isn't about spinning really even though they put that in the name

    They don't spin as fast as tomahawk does and to be honest i didn't notice it that much as i was to busy trying to keep my face from being pelted with rain as it was coming down pretty good when we rode it. I won't be at sfne for a couple weeks since im leaving for cp next week, so i will have to try it again on a sunny warm day.

    ^We watched two cycles on Sunday and were totally underwhelmed.

    The ride swings over 150feet in the air at around 70mph... I don't see how that can be underwhelming. Considering it's 2nd or 3rd fastest ride in the park

    Because it’s supposed to spin haha. It looks fun, but it doesn’t look Insane like everyone was expecting.

    It’s not supposed to spin as much as tomahawk but it’s designed to spin more than what we are seeing lol
    I really like the HUSS models too

    I guess it is because I have seen similar rides that do not have "Spin" in their names (MaxAir - Huss Cedar Point and Black Widow - Zamperla Kennywood) actually spin way more than Spinsanity. The name implies insane spinning. So far, not so much - so underwhelming. I am not a big fan of the spinning rides anyhow but I didn't find the visual of this ride impressive. I hope it is fun for those that ride.

    With any luck they will speed it up after it's run for a bit. I was expecting at least a similar spin as supernova at TGE

    Why would it speed up? It’s not because it’s new, but it’s how it is programmed to run.

    Minus the pelting Rain on Saturday, it was a great ride. I do wish it spun a little bit more then it does, but Its still a great ride IMO . Ill see what happens This Saturday!

    Are you telling me you have never seen a park test a ride at a lower setting then speed it up down the line? I would imagine there is more then one program.

    I’ve seen them do that during the testing phase, but the ride is now open.
