With Flash and the claw offering similar ride experiences. I wonder what ride offers the better experience.

 

although the flash is good, nothing beats the claw. Not only is it longer, but you feel more free, and you are dangling mid air. The claw also goes further upside down.

Surfrider/flash is a family ride compared to claw. The speed on claw (and other pendulum rides) is far greater than surfrider and exhibits a better degree of force. Maybe it is run a bit faster at movie world but when it was at wet n wild I thought it was slow and quite boring.

If you are looking for a thrill it’s not even a contest between the 2

Only reason Flash'd beat Claw for me is that Claw's restraints are significantly less forgiving to taller riders (or, at least, to me, really had to squeeze my shoulders down to get it locked). Apart from that, there's no contest.

^ i agree about the restraints. i’m just at 6ft and they have to fully push it down into my shoulders due to the angle of the restraints. 

Flash is very mild, whereas forgetting the pain The Claw gives taller riders, it is a far more intense ride with a lot more airtime. redoing The Claw with the new style pendulum restraints would be good though.
