Yeah

so I could make a scentence like this?


I got SF and started to head to RB, the queqe was full so i headed over to TD. No wait, I got to the first seat, I headed over tom BTR and had alot of fun on it. And then went to eat, I got back and went on S:UF. It was a long wait, I went to IW and had alot of fun on that

what the heck are people stupid or something. I mean it's all fun and games till someone gets hurt. Rollercoasters are great fun, but you gotta give them some respect. I ride hands up alot on rides but that is my extent. I put that lap bar down so far that if I stayed on too long my legs would go numb.
Adventure, Excitement, Jedi Craves not these things.

I find loose rides to just be foolish. I like a good rush as much as the next guy, but is that little extra bit of adrenaline really worth literally risking your life? Personally, I don't think so. Thankfully, ops or the ride system usually keep people from getting loose to a dangerous degree. Nevertheless, anyone who would deliberately try to circumvent a ride's minimal safety measures is playing a dangerous and very foolish game.

I once got the opportunity for a one click on Viper. I decided not to because I'm not a moron, I can also enjoy Viper full restraint down and still get mad airtime.

Yeah, you dont need to fly 2 feet in the air to have fun. Just keep your restraints on or six flags might get shut down or somrthing in that matter

Pretty much, except fix your grammatical and spelling errors. It's confusing.

By the way: If TD means "The demon" You should just write out Demon. Like Viper, Just write that out too.

Its not good to go on loose/one/two click rides, you could lose your wallet.

This year the ops are pushing them down anyways I've noticed.

If I worked there and and saw someone trying to do the whole 1 click ride thing or anything even close to that, I would staple them to the point where they would be unable to reproduce.

It is crap like this that caused the Tamar Fellner incident. Lapbars are there for a reason.

Um...I usually have the lap bar touching me, so I never really have a problem. I always have my hands up so I still have a good, safe time. I almost stood up (by accident) on the Mighty Canadian Minebuster and it kind of freaked me out. So I definitely won't be standing up on a ride soon, although it isn't as if I ever would before.

Not all loose rides are on purpose though.
Recently I went on Viper and the lap bar didn't go down all the way, and the seat belt was really loose. Although I love airtime, I don't go for loose rides.

And yes, ops are checking riders better now. There was nothing you could really do for my Viper incident because the lap bar was overlly high, so op still did well. But another time when I was on Viper I was in the back and an op asked me to show him my buckle to prove that I was buckled. Smart, seeing as people ride in the back for the most airtime they can get. Although I wouldn't put myself in danger doing anything stupid like that I guess I looked like a suspicious character.

On the Bull I have the lap bar down so far that I cant move it what so ever. I would never have it loose its not worth it.
