Smooth article. I knew some of this stuff, but not all of it.

 

It kind of creeps you out when you read these articles on how easily you can get hurt on a roller coaster. But I don't really listen to that, I listen to the safety of the ride. It's kind of saying "Let the adults handle this". I mean it's you have to trust the amusement (or theme park), to feel safe (at least I think).

 

Well back to the injury part of what I just said, I don't really mind the dangers. Ya know, Robb has ridden hundreds of rides, and I don't think he's ever had an injury before. Has he? :?

Well he is nuts! I don't know if that qualifies as injury though. All those Vekoma's could kill a man! :shock: :shock:

 

Katie, who knows she is gonna get it back from Robb.

did that article just tell me to smack myself in the head??!! :shock:

 

 

oh well, i do what i am told....

 

 

 

interesting article though... but i have to go... i think the phone's ringing.

 

 

 

EDIT: strange, when i picked up the phone i got a dial tone, yet i can STILL hear that odd ringing. hmmm....

Pretty much everything I already knew based on research I have done.

 

Its AWESOME to see someone out ther realizing the truth. Its not in the rides, but in the riders. I have those ASTM guidelines. They are incredibly detailed and provide some amazing depth.

 

 

Im suprised that Dueling Dragons wasnt mentioned. I can see RnRC hitting just over 5 because of the lack of a smooth lead-in to the half loop. Otherwise, I would have thought that Dueling Dragons : Fire's helix of doom after the second immelman might have been on there for "duration intensity". That helix in the back seat is mighty powerful. That whole "airtime hill - slanted immelman - helix" combo is my favourite for any ride to date.

I dont mind the dangers. I mean, if I get hurt....I will die on something that I love to do.
