I got an email about that today. Two new rides, actually. The flashback and those stupid parachutes are leaving.

Flashback? That was always one of my favorites.

This new ride looks pretty crazy. Not sure how much I want to do that.

Once it gets up to the top, it should allow the cables to extend out like 30 or 40 yards. The extended distance would allow the rider to travel faster making it a lot more fun!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.

I'd ride it. They seriously can't make a rollercoaster/ride scary enough for me. It'd have to be on some "I have to sign a waiver" type of ish. They need to make a rollercoaster that starts out with a loop into a Titan-sized drop. That'd be fun as hell!

All I kept seeing was one of those swings break away.

No thanks.

I'll try it out next time I go. Haven't gone in forever though. Didn't get a chance to go during the summer.

we have something similar at our local amusement park. Doesn't seem scary in the least.

The Hollywood RockitRide at Universal Florida is scarier.

Something similar has been in Vegas for a few years now. I think it looks scarier than it actually is.

They need to get X2 from Magic Mountain. Best Coaster Ever.

I remember going to a park in France and asking the guy where the security belt or strap was and he just shrugged and told me gravity would keep me in. In fairness it did but I doubt they'd get away with that these days.

We had a ride that had NO seatbelts/restraints/harnesses. The Spinnaker..I miss it.
