Why do you wear them if you can't see anything?

-38 diopters. Wow. My prescription is, uh... -3.25? How can you possibly wear -38?

Shinedown on August 9 in Michigan. They're only doing 2 shows, and there isn't even a reason, unless they release their fifth album before then. I've never flown somewhere just to see a concert, but I have no doubts about going. The last concert I saw was Three Days Grace on August 27, 2014 in Vancouver.

When I was about 7, the Skymaster made its first appearance at the annual Vancouver PNE. The height requirement was 48 inches (the stick was green and white, so I was scared to eat half-mint Oreos after). It uses OTSR with some weird buckle as well, I don't remember exactly. My friend's buckle came undone, so we were both screaming hysterically. Obviously we were fine, but Skymasters still scare me. I rode it again a couple years later and didn't enjoy it at all, so I'm not missing out. The altitude of the Pirate at Vancouver's Playland was recently lowered by 3 feet to "make room for the AtmosFEAR [starFlyer]". When I was a kid riding it in the last row, it was dangerous. There was airtime and the bar didn't even come close to me. The seat is just one long bench. Of course, I just thought it was awesome (and it always gave me a "ball tickle", coined by someone yelling "MY BALLS ARE TICKLING" on that ride). So, that's probably another reason for the adjustment. Looking back on it now, I should have noticed something was up with Vancouver Playland's Wild Mouse. As someone else said in this thread, they had to use sandbags for the cars to complete the circuit. I believe there was also something about leaning forward on the way up. And it wouldn't be complete without getting rained on by debris if you stood under the track while in the queue. It was shut down in 2007 for "high maintenance costs" (another suspect reason), thankfully. The Wooden Roller Coaster at Vancouver Playland. Again, the restraints just aren't appropriate for young children (trust me, I was there). I'm probably gonna get slack for this, but I was really, legitimately fearful of being flung from the seat. The Ring of Fire at a local travelling carnival. I couldn't uncurl my hands after that, they just automatically recoiled every time I tried. I was about 7, again. Two boys loaded behind me and complained that they would have to hear a little girl scream the whole time. I actually never scream on rides, simply because I don't feel the need to, so I had the last laugh. They probably lost their voices after that. I'm not making fun though, I do feel really bad for them. We were all way too young to be on that ride.
