New park operating procedures
Hercules replied to Sue's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Any new procedures? Yeah. Making sure nobody falls out of a roller coaster. -
Camden Park in Huntington, WV
Hercules replied to milst1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was in WV all of last week on business and took a stop at Camden one afternoon. I had a good time. Thanks for the report. -
Would you rather die or not be able to ride a roller coaster?!? There is no discrimination IMO. Safety comes first. And unfortunately is just is not impossible to design a ride that can handle riders of all sizes. I completely agree with you. I was not saying it is discrimination. I am on your side. I think the size thing is ridiculous. I feel sorry for the ride operator who checked her. It will be interesting to find out if he was trained that hearing 1 click is sufficient, and whether that came from the park or the manufacturer, or if 1 click is not sufficient and it falls on him.

I am sure the "person of size" thing is going to be rebutted by all of the fat Americans in this country. If her size is considered to be the main cause for the accident, and then people of her size won't be able to ride the ride in the future, it will be seen as a discrimination against larger people.

Schlitterbahn Kansas - Verrückt Water Slide
Hercules replied to KBrylczyk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They must be installing some kind of "brake" at the bottom of the slide which will slow it down prior to hitting the LIM up the hill, right? -
First Defunct B&M?
Hercules replied to 11slataus's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I too have heard from some people in the industry that they have taken tours of the park as recently as last year, and the rides seem to be in working order and good condition. -
I agree with this. There is always a little luck involved with a no-hitter or perfect game. I have always looked at this with a bowling view. A 300 game is impressive, but you always have 1 or 2 frames where you got lucky and didn't throw that great of a ball. Now, an 800 3 game series is really impressive because you were probably extremely consistant all the way through.

I'm really disappointed the Dippin' Dots guy didn't have anything to say on the topic. Though, that must mean it is HUGE!!! -

So don't! It is against the rules to double post too, should I ban you? You can if you want. I'm not trying to be a dick. But it says that the two accounts joined the same day. Fine. I'll stop. Back to SkyRush - just trust me on the car thing. 100% false I wouldnt say 100% false, but rather highly unlikely. Holy hell. Alright. I know nothing. I'm just taking a stab at the whole 100% thing. EDIT: Really screwed those last 2 posts up. -

Not trying to moderate, but, it is against the rules around here to have 2 accounts. Just kind of shady that two accounts, with very low post totals, that both signed up the same day, would be so interested in SkyRush at the same time..... -
