mmkaycomputer 0 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Decided to brave The Roller Coaster at NY-NY on Roller Coaster Day, as my boyfriend and I hadn't been on it in four or five years, and we'd never experienced the discomfort everyone else seems to have on it. Plus, there was already a mass exodus of Angelenos cramming I-15, so Desperado at the NV/CA border was out, and we had recently been on the two coasters at Adventuredome. While my boyfriend thought it was only a little rough, I got knocked around those shoulder restraints for about a third of the ride, resulting in a lousy night's sleep 12 hours later. I don't have much structural or engineering knowledge of coasters, so I'm assuming it comes down to age and/or poor maintenance, especially since I hadn't had that issue with the restraints before. It's kind of a shame. I actually enjoy the coaster's layout. But failing a refurbishment or serious fix, I'm done with that thing. Link to post Share on other sites

robertc0228 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Invertigo at Kings Island. It was spur of the moment, kinda rough, awkward because there was this random girl riding with us and someone in our group was riding alone (long story), and my group was getting on my nerves. I think that defines just about every Vekoma experience if you ask me. At least I ate a Banshee cone in line! Link to post Share on other sites
Fire2box 0 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 My last coaster was Medusa at SF:DK yesterday. It was a horrible afternoon/evening there. Second year in a row I saw a horrible, jam packed bring a friend day. Remember those scenes from jurrasic world where people were shoved up right onto each other? Yeah, that happened. Only there were no peterdactyles to carry off the strollers taking up 25% of the pathway. Link to post Share on other sites

IdahoKat 0 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I don't have a picture of it (but I'm sure there are plenty online) - X2 at SFMM. A great end to a great day - bonus that it was my sister's first time ever riding it. She loved it. I didn't share anything about the ride so that everything would be a surprise.
