My vote goes to Thunder River at Six Flags Over Georgia. Everytime you ride it is a new experience.

I can't get enough of the Frisbee at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. It swings like a pendulum to almost 90 degrees, while the entire circular ride vehicle turns. It gets me laughing every time, and the name pretty much describes the experience; it's like you're flying through the air on a frisbee!

I'm a coaster enthusiast, and almost never ride anything except coasters. I don't consider coasters as "amusing". They can be thrilling, exciting, boring, whatever, but not really amusing.
There is a ride that I would consider amusing though. It's at Knoebels Grove in Elysburg P.A. - the old fashioned air plane rides. (I don't know the technical name for them, but it's the ones that are like metal tubs with wings and a rudder that you control. The planes start flying around in a circle, suspended on large cables. When you move the rudder, you can control how the plane moves. Great ride, tame enough for a young kid.
However, if you know what you're doing, you can turn that tame little ride into something quite thrilling. Once it gets going, and you're up pretty high, cutting close to tree tops, if you move that rudder just right, you "snap" the cables. No, of course the cables don't break, but your little plane jerks around, and can pitch you towards the ground, or lean you back so you're looking up at the sky. I love it when the ride operators aren't paying attention, and don't stop me. Its also funny that when I get off the ride, kids that were waiting in line beg me to let them ride with me.
My apologies to Knoebels. I know you're not supposed to do that. I've been kicked off a few times, and I don't blame the ride operators. And I honest to god scare the crap out of myself. Yet, I can't control the urge to keep doing it. I find that amusing.

I'm going to have to say Space Mountain at Disneyland in Anaheim. It is now so much better with a new soundtrack and great new track.
Or Jurassic Park at Universal Studios, Hollywood. I don't know why I love this ride so much. It's a real experience and I love the narration and soundtrack, along with the animatronics.

Just rode the Griffin at Bush Gardens. I think it was that best ever. It held you at the top of a dive for 10 seconds (which seems A LOT longer) before you drop.

If you mean amusing, as in sense of humor, my choice is the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disney World. I mean, c'mon, there's a filthy Pirate who is bombed off his rear-end, and he's got hairy legs! And the wife auction might not be politically correct, but it is amusing. And how about the drunk Pirate whose trying to get the kitten to drink rum (he tries to coax the kitten by slurring, "here, kitty, kitty, kitty"). Not exactly a thrill ride, but it makes me giggle.

Roller coasters are what make me laugh. My favorite is the Aerosmith Rockin' Roller Coaster at Disney's MGM Studios in Orlando, FL.
