The auction on ebay is selling seat cushions previously used on Hades.

There are so many things wrong with this I don't kwow where to begin!!!!

 

- "They were broken during the ACE Coaster Con" - BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! OMG!!! TOO FUNNY!!!! As if that doesn't fit the stereotypical acer!!!!

 

- $105!?!?!? You could have gotten a Blackpool Log Flume boat for $50!

[Scaparri]

Yeah, it's actually Duane Marden of rcdb that's selling them.

[Carnage]

Gross, just think of how many people have used those.

 

Couldn't you just make them yourself for about 1/10th the cost?

[GURZU]

I would not pay anything for a chunk of coaster ... to my that give it to me

[Jive]

The price is driven up by the fact that they're loaded with gyro farts.

 

And they were broken way back in June.

[benzo41190]

WOW! Only 1 year and they needed to be replaced

 

So how long do these cushions usually last?

[jamesdillaman]

25 years, OR 1 ACE Con

Ewww...

 

Why would you want something that has had 10,000 asses on it? And we're talking at a theme park, meaning sweaty and/or wet butts. Gross. And what could you possibly do with the cushions?

 

Get some better theme park merchandise than a cushion from a coaster. Eww.

Ok WTH... How can those break? I really thought that the seats were more substantial than that. I mean I know it says seat covers but those things seem to go back quite a ways. Isn't that the whole seat or am I misinterpreting this? If someone can explain exactly where these come from maybe I can understand how on earth these could just break off... Right now I am just completely lost.

No thanks, I've already got a nail that fell out of Hades.

 

Somewhere...

When I rode it in June the seat botton was cracked so it leaned towards the center of the car. The divider inbetween the seats was also broke and leaned towards the rider that was leaning towards the center. This made the seat extremely uncomfortable.

Is it legal for them to run the ride like that? I don't know the laws for amusement rides but wouldn't that make the restraints less than effective?

[Jive]

I'm not sure. The park didn't seem take safety seriously.

 

Safe or not it sucked.

[easytoremember]

Ya I remember that, it was like the front row of the last car. They were seriously tilted at probably at least a 20 degree angle. One time on the hill going back into the tunnel, the airtime launched me into the divider, and the seat belt buckle bruised my theigh.

[steel]

They all rode Pegasus and it damaged their brains. That's why it's so bad there.

[TheStig]

Okay, the fact that they BROKE DURING COASTER CON is beyong "L O L"!!!!! That was the funniest thing I've heard all day!!! But no, no way am I paying 100 bucks for a seat, not worth it, I mean what are you going to do with it anyway?

They broke before the ACE event.

[steel]

That's interesting because they were in perfect condition both days CoasterCon was there.

When was CoasterCon?

 

I was there the last week of June.

Is it legal for them to run the ride like that?

I'm not sure of whether it's legal in Wisconsin for them to run it like that, but regardless of location, I wouldn't say that it's advisable.

 

If a seat bench were to open up or fall through during a ride, it'd be a bad thing. Remove a seat bench on a PTC train and you can see right through to the wheels and the track below. Needless to say, plenty of opportunity for injury if a rider is exposed to that.

 

Anyway, they've obviously replaced that particular bench, so there's no apparent issue today.

[GMAN962]

The most sick part of getting those, is that they've most likley been throw up and or farted on. I mean, if someone can throw up on collossus at SFMM (it was right before we were going to get on, so they just sent it out empty) they can throw up on Hades, and it's probably happened.

I was there the last week of June.

 

CoasterCon XXVIII began on Father's Day of 2005.

1) I don't think I've ever seen vomit on a seat cushion before. The side, sure. The front or back of a car, definitely. But it would take some creative aiming to get it on the seat cushion.

 

2) At least 10,000 bare asses didn't sit on them.

[vjgx]

^ Good point...

 

Plus, I'd never buy a coaster seat cushion for more than maybe 10-15 bucks... I'm not that crazy!
