Ride You Felt Was Unsafe?
iloveblueberries replied to Mr Stratosphere's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've had a few incidents. A major one I had was while riding DeJa Vu at Magic Mountain a couple years before it was relocated. Those restraints are really good, they're huge and they feel safe, much like the feeling Tatsu's restraints give you. But I was being pretty careless while getting in my seat. I just recall pulling the restraint down just a tad and I had a ton of leg room. If their was a seatbelt to be strapped, I didn't strap it. You might be thinking "come on old man it's your fault" but listen, the reason I didn't put my restraint all the way down was because I was in the middle of inhaling the most rancid disgusting and pungent fart someone in the car in front of me let loose. I had my hands covering my nose it was that bad. So I assumed a ride op would set my restraint up for me. Nobody did. Probably because of the fart. It did lock in place, but I could probably slide out if I tried (I'm a really thin guy). I wasn't thinking about pulling the restraint tighter while going backwards out of the station, but then we started going up the lift. I had no choice but to practically stand on top of the car in front of me trying to pull my restraint in. Oh my god I was sweating out of every oriface. I was standing on a suspended coaster car 160 feet in the air. Luckily once we dropped I could fall into my seat, and going up the second lift the restraint had already pushed itself in to me. Safety first, guys. Don't let someone's disgusting farts stop you from pulling your lap bar down. And don't trust your safety to teenagers. I rode the ride again a year after and I was able to overcome my fear of it. Oh did I mention that part? I was pretty much in shell shock thanks to this! -
I think this time around the ride should be open in spring. I don't know why you're thinking it won't. Six Flags magic Mountain has a reputation to uphold for delaying openings. Not a good reputation, but a reputation nonetheless. But RMC is doing fantastic work and i think it'll actually be open on time. possibly even before hand. I know they do. But RMC is doing a great job so far as you said.

^ You didn't consider the reverse free-fall coasters that came before dragster to be one trick ponies? Or were you one of those people who simply didn't consider them coasters? -

Please elaborate on how Twisted Colossus is only focusing on that one moment of the ride and it will not be a great ride as a whole? I mean what the fudge? The non-stop airtime hills, two giant ass drops and racing elements don't do it for ya? -
You really think the high five is just a parking lot spectacle gimmick? I'd ride anything just for the chance to high five the riders of the train I'm racing with. That's exciting. To be clear, you will still be several feet away from the other train. You will not be able to actually hi-five anybody. Duh.
