^ Ok now THATS Scary

I believe Perilous Plunge at Knotts has the same exact restraints, as well.

[Axman]

PP's restrains are similar. The operations for that ride used to be outrageously slow. I rode it 1st season, and the harnesess were like these adjustable life vests. They were difficult to operate, and slow to check.

You didn't ride it in the first season, then. The adjustable straps on Plunge weren't added until after the accident in 2001. When the ride opened in 2000, it only had lap bars.

[Axman]

Wow, so that monster used to just have a lap bar?! No wonder she died.

 

Those stupid life-vest-deals were probably an un-orgonized respond to the accident.

 

Still, the new harnesses look like over-kill. Sorry. No pun intended.

^ they aren't really. In fact when I went on Perilous Plunge shortly after getting the new harness, the first thing that popped into my head was "dive machine" because you get the same float down the drop. THe difference, though, between Plunge and Shiekra, though, is that you get soaked on the Plunge, and it kind of ruins the fun a bit.
