Frade Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Hello dudes! How are you? I am really exited because today it was my last day of classes and I will enter to college on august. Well, today I was looking at Cedar Points web-cams and noticed that, Wicked Twister, Corkscrew, and maXair, were working, with people on it, look at this picture I have from maXair. Enjoy Cool, I have finished high school, Florida is waiting for me. Cool, look at the people.

PhishyBrewer Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 It's always the employees that get to ride first. Why? There covered under the insurance. I remember working at the Point when Mantis(Banshee) opened. They had to shoot a commercial, and the park wasn't open yet. They told us to where shorts and t-shirts for the shoot. That was fun, in mid-March, and it just snowed the day before.
CoasterFanatic Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I always liked the term "rehersal" than "testing" when people are riding it. "Testing" just sounds a little scary.
socalMAN123 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Has a frisbee acidendatly flipped upside down before? I think it would be fun and scary at teh same time because what if the swing snapped off and you slammed into the ground? ---Brent 8)
Twister II Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Very optimistic arnt we^ IMO, those frisbee rides looks hella scary, but i'll go on them.
thrillrider1 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 that would be awesome! ive always wanted someone to build a frisbee that goes upside down and oveer.
Carnage Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Has a frisbee acidendatly flipped upside down before? I think it would be fun and scary at teh same time because what if the swing snapped off and you slammed into the ground?---Brent 8) That can't really happen accidentaly. Frisbee's at their higheste point are only a bit above 180 degrees. They would need an extremely large push to get it to go the extra 90ish degrees. I'd be surprised if the ride was even capable of doing that. It's not something you have to worry about. Though it would be cool if they built an inverting frisbee.
CoasterFanatic Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 ^ I think it was some kind of "claw", but there was a ride at the Florida State Fair a couple years ago the came pretty darn close. It was much further than the rotation on Huss Giant Frisbees.

Freefallin Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 amazing, look at all those wonderful trees for some shade. Matt - Oh wait, its pavement soon to be littered with plenty of trashcans.
coasters 4 me Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 it would generate great speed at the bottom if it did go the whole way. Aparrently, the ride goes 70mph at the bottom. How high does it swing?
