How the heck did you get the Goliath JR/Percy credit?

[atem122]

Dear Robb,

 

I was updating my coaster counter and was looking through the leader boards and saw your account. I had figured you had the credit but checked anyway, and of course you had the mystical Goliath Jr/Percy credit. I'm just wondering how you got it, was there not a height limit back when it was Goliath JR? (I only visited sfmm once with it as Goliath Jr), did you ask management? Or did they just let you on since you're Robb Alvey?

 

P.S: I bet you could draw a huge crowd for Percy ert

I could have gotten that credit back in 1971 when that ride was the Clown Coaster. Back then, it was an age limit, not height, and I was 12 (the maximum).

 

Oh well...

I swear man, if there was an ert session that allowed people over the height limit to ride, it would draw a huge crowd

I can't speak for SFMM, but in rare instances park management will bend the rules if the right person asks nicely or if it is at a private event.

 

On a few of the TPR Europe trips we were told that adults were not allowed on certain kiddie coasters. However, after speaking with park or operations management Robb was able to get TPR members on many (but not all) of the kiddie coasters.

Can't speak for Robb, but I got the credit when I was about 5 when it was called Clown Coaster. It's possible Robb also rode it when he was a kid. As far as Percy ERT, I remember hearing a rumor that Robb had asked about Percy ERT during WCB but the park said no.

Keep in mind, too, that it isn't a park policy, it's a limitation set by the manufacturer of the ride, in this case, Bradley & Kaye. Strangely, though, Timberline Twister at Knott's is also a B&K ride, but has a higher height limit.

^ Well, Timberline Twister is a little more "beefy" than Percy's.

^Ya I second that, Timberline Twister is a little worse than Percy.

It's the same with Go Gator at Flamingoland. Anyone who got that credit?
