New Drop Ride Idea

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby frdbggns150 on September 13th, 2004, 5:48 pm
So it's however many feet tall, like 350 or 400 or something big. U sit in a V2 kind of seat where your feet dangle and you spin while you go up to the top (like drop zone at PKI) and have the things like superman has that hold your legs in, going up faster than most drop rides. when you get to the top you spin around one more time and the train stops and is stil at the top and the seats fall out "slowly" or "fastly" probably slowly but if possible fastly, so that your face is vertically straight down (kind of like when V2 stops you) and you hang there for about 3- 15 seconds (different each time) and you drop. of course you would have to slow down slowly, that's why make the tower so high. and that would be a lot of pressure on your shoulders and chest but you would have make a car that would decrease the Gforce on you. and if it broke down when it's at the top when your in the "straight down position" it would hurt.
yeah it seems like it woulnd't be possible but what do you guys think? is it a good idea or not?

thought of another idea, have the seats turn a little back into normal position at end but your still falling, so that the pressure is more on your butt than chest and shoulders

I have some drop ride ideas. But do you think that when the guy who designed X was little and he thought of a coaster idea from the zipper, he kept it to himself, and now he's rich, or should have been if it went right. Anyways i think your idea is cool but wouldn't you be mad if someone went ahead and built that idea from your post.

I wouldn't be mad because I have the whole thing drawn out and all that stuff and copyright it. I did that a long time ago. So don't any of you guys try it, or you could and I would sew you.

You are scraring me and plus you can't copyright an idea. You can patent an idea.

I thought of your idea before too, but the force would just be too much unless it was designed differently.

One question: How would you get onto it?

Also I have some drop ride ideas in my head and roller coaster ideas but yes I am also going to keep them to myself.
I've actually recorded some of them down. And some of them would be pretty intense rides.

LOL! Your going to copyright an idea or an invention? I'm pretty sure you get patents on that stuff. And you'll Sew me? Better go get your sewing machine.

It could work, if the cars released while the ride is braking like on a topspin.
