^Oh great, now the next time I ride GD, I'm gonna think about being decapitated by a cable. Thanks so much.

Nah, just worry about whether or not you are strapped in securely, watch the nice views and BAM! BTW, why does Giant Drop have only one reserved area for Flash Pass users? You wait far too long to get on if there are any other flash users ahead of you. ````The ONLY time I really get scared on Bull is on the first drop this yer I BARELY caught my Six Flags hat going down. My blue denim Great America hat. Love it and would be so pissed for losing it out of utter stupidity.

I lost my 2005 World Series White Sox hat on the Whizzer about 2 years ago. Replaced it but still sad. Probably at the bottom of the swamp right now.

I doubt it. Flew off my head going up the hill after the first drop which is right over the water.

Well, there is a platform right next to the track towards the top of the hill.

Not the lift hill, the 2nd hill and that has nothing under it but water I'm pretty sure.

After conquering my biggest fear with Dare Devil Dive, very little scares me anymore at the park. It's not just the big rides that are kinda creepy that drop on Whizzer and those turns are pretty sick too.

Haha, the only thing that scares me is the anticipation.

I think dying on a roller coaster would be the happiest death of all. But, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it true that Bull, or almost all coasters, can be ridden without any restraints? I remember hearing something like this earlier, the restraints just make the coaster fun and obviously, safer. Obviously don't try this, but I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before. (Maybe I have DejaVU!)

Yup, SUF without a restraint is crazy safe.
Whizzer doesn't need them but it gives it a better safety reputation.

No thanks no coaster is worth dying for.

If I'm dying from cancer and have 2 days to live, a roller coaster is a happy death.

whizzer doesn't need them at all. I remember going on it when there were no seat belts. it is such a small space you have to be unhealthy skinny to fall out.

I really think Columbia should get the seatbelts back. It's a huge safety hazard.

I went on it once in 1998. It was more than enough for me. I'm one of those that doesn't get the point of going round on ponies or unicornes...

I don't ride it much but still kind of cool seeing all of the intricate horses.

Not even 2 days before I go. There are so many less painful ways to go...

I think that Wolf would be pretty bad if the restraints failed.

That's different because IW has belts too.
