Thrillrider15 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I was searching roller coasters on the google video search, and found this amusing video of some people departing on Batman and Robin the Chiller at Six Flags Great Adventure. I couldn't find the video on the website it came from, so you can view it from the google media player. Enjoy. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3671716828456190681&q=eddie+departing+on+batman+and+robin
coastakid Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 5,4,3,2,1..launch....lol..it wasnt fuunny but i cant stop watching it
Twister II Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 LOL Well I use to know a ride op on B&R and I think his use to go: 5...4...3...2...Launch or 5 4 3 2 1 RESTRAINT CHECK! Then just launch it. But I think it would of been hilarious if it was just 5 4 3 2 Launch.
benzo41190 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I think that the 5 4 3 2 LAUNCH is too close together. I think a 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 and launch right on the 3.
Homer Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Chiller ops just aren't as cool as the Acro op's at SFOG. If you have seen the Whootah! Video of SFOG entered in the TPR 2004 Video Contest. The ops are like... "Acrophobia will drop in 5, 4, 3 (ring drops)." Whootah dude: "PSYCHE!"
benzo41190 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 ^THATS WHAT THAT IS FROM!!!!!!!! I couldnt remember were I saw it I even have that DVD I remember once on V2 (SFGAm) they were like 5 4 3 2.......Hang On.....4 3 2 1..............*launch*
benzo41190 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 it built up the suspence. You were waiting for it to launch because it said 1 so you are waiting....and waiting.......then it launches by surprise. I think the 5 4 3 2 1 Hang On....... thing wasnt on purpose.
Nitro X 230 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Chiller ops: "I'm sorry everyone, but I'm going to need everyone to put their hands up so we can check restraints again " LAUNCH
euphoric Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 One time on wicked twister they launched me on 2. Scared the living sh*t out of me.
AznShortBoi8021 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 One time on Steel Venom at Geauge Lake, the operate said "We're have some technical difficulties please wait a moment" I was like "Aww poo" LAUNCH! I had the poop scared right of me and then some.
FlippyTrick09 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 WE sound like 3 year olds when we go "one time on..." lol sorry but thats what IM about to do.... One time when I was on Acro they had just got done checking the restraints and the op was tryin to psych us out and he said " do you feel safe?" and everyone was like yea and then he let the restraints go a little bit and he goes " do you feel safe now?" and my face turned white as and albino deer (i ddnt know thoughs excisted untill recently) abd i scream NOOOO!!!!!!! and they started to pull us up..... and I almost crapped in my pants.
HCOSurfer90 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 When I went on the Chiller, the funniest ride spiel was when the op said "If youve been on Kingda Ka today raise your hands." They all fell for it and it launched and as it launched you could see all the peoples hands go down, I still can believe they fell for it haha
Blazen_AZN Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 yeah, one time when i was on Big Shot on top up the Stratasphere noone had their restraints locked, and then, all of the sudden, the ride op starts counting down, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2 ,1 then he launched it... about 7 feet, then he came by and checked everyone's restraints and buckled us in. scared the crap outa me.
MARK Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 On Space Probe an intamin freefall ride in a now defunct Australian park Wonderland, they had a room at the very top where the riders would face a TV screen. It would have a count down and would drop the cars at anytime; sometimes it would wait 30 seconds after the countdown, and sometimes it wouldn't even get to the first number. On The Giant Drop at Dreamworld, Australia, another intamin drop ride (the tallest freefall in the world), there isn't anything; which I think is better, it doesn't have anything to distract you with; just the incredible 390 ft height and the wide open agrophobia-inducing space.
Angry_Gumball Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Riding SFMW's V2, it went "10. 9. 8. 7." and then just launched.
calcajun Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Blazen, Thats funny that he scared you that way! He didn't actually launch you. After you get in you are weighed and lifted. Then restraints are checked. That is normal procedure but he got you that time! I wanted to see the end of the video when she came back minus hat and wig! It's bizzare now?
zongaboy626 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 V2 at SFMW we are sorry but there is a part missing we are going to have to call a LAUNCH!
