drakmir Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 a question real quik related to a conversation b4. has anyone wearing van or etnie shoes or (shoes wit laces that you dont tie) on an inverted coaster or a drop ride been asked to remove them. I know with sandals or flip flops they will but thats all i know for sure.
Twister II Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I know at Elitch's, they make you keep your shoes on if they have a heal.
Rollerholden Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 No...they won't fall off. Â Edit - Actually now that I think about it, I remember one time when I was in line for V2 at Six Flags Marine World, some kid's shoe went flying off when it went up the back spike. I have no idea what kind of shoe it was, but it sure went flying far!
okinawaboy11 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I've seen them fall off. I just tighten mine for that day that I go to the park.
benzo41190 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Its kind of weird, but I tie the laces around the back of my ankles...instead of in the front. That way, there is no way they can come off.
lapseofreason Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I know most kids don't like to tie their shoes nowadays, especially Vans and other skate shoes (I have no idea why) but if you DO tie them, maybe a little tightly, they will stay on! Â Now people that come to parks with flip flops... that's a different story.
ECZenith Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 If you can kick your foot straight out and they stay on your feet, I'd imagine it wouldn't be a problem at all, seeing how no inverted coaster really swings your feet out faster than a swift kick. Â My younger brother has similar shoes and they've survived B&M and Vekoma inverted and flying models.
Golfie Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 One time we were stading near Deja Vu and a battery came flying and landed about 1 foot away from my dad. Â Anyways, I had huge vans a long time ago that I tied very loosely that I couldn't kick a ball w/o them falling off. I only rode rides with floors back then... but I didn't have a problem.
scottVishere Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 When i was at alton towers earlier on this year. I was standing in the line for rita with my mates and a digital camera which looked pretty nice landed in one of the nets under the ride! Ive never been told to take off my shoes on a ride!
BorisTF Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 If you're that concerned about them falling off, and still want to retain the look that they aren't tied, tie them up behind the tongue of the shoe.
Zen Coaster Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Nope. I have never had that problem, you will be fine
benzo41190 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Or, you could buy a pair of Converse shoes for about $15-$20. I use those for skating and they are pretty comfortable.
