They gutted the original control system and re wrote the program. Even after that there was a distinct hurl factor through the first season until they got the bugs worked out. The first thing you learned that season was not to use the bathrooms near friar tucks / thunder river. They even had a t-shirt that showed a guy hurling into a trash can with the Xcaliber logo at the top.
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
^Wow. Anyone know what Xcalibur's ride experience is like? I want to try and get to SFStl this year for the first time, and that is one of the rides I haven't heard much about.
I was surprised because rides never make me sick unless I eat right before going on a spinny ride or numerous ones. I think it was just the G-forces, and if it would have changed direction then I wouldn't have felt sick. It was only for a few minutes anyway so not too bad.
I like the ride, though it's unfortunate it's running at a reduced speed. I look forwards to riding Imperator(Giant Evolution #2) in Stuttgart in a few months, at full speed and full cycle. Though I admit I enjoy fast spinning rides and I have the iron stomach.

I agree! I really thought that I was going to lose my breakfast
I have never felt that queasy getting off a ride in my life. I had to sit down after I got off. I solved my problem though.... I just don't go on. I have actually let my fiance go on it alone because I refuse to go on now

I can eat anything before a ride and be fine. The only ride currently i cant go on for some reason is East River Crawler. I get very sick on it.
