Dude Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 No way in hell I would ever do this. I did ride the Big Shot on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas, which was a momentarilly lapse of reason, judgement and sanity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I did that too! It was the only time in my life I ever even considered backing out of an amusement-park ride. I love roller coasters, have no fear of heights, etc., but that one almost did me in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 oh HELL no. Yeah, fuck that. I'll go on any rollercoaster, but that's too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Oh good god. This thread needs to be renamed, "Throw Up in Your Mouth at Work!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah, it was quite the adrenaline rush once the ride started. Was this ride open when you were there? That literally looks like a torture device to me. Threaten me with a seat on that, and I will fuckin' talk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah, it was quite the adrenaline rush once the ride started. Was this ride open when you were there? NO! That little roller coaster was there, but it was closed for repairs the day I went. Yes, please make sure that thing is in 100% working order, please. No derailments at 1000 feet! I think I'd go on that thing, but mostly just as a test of my will. I'm stubborn enough to go through with anything once, just to say I did it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Central Scrutinizer Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 please watch. So Donald Rumsfeld has gone into amusement ride design? I'm surprised they left out the towel and water treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Then I would certainly advise not watching this it hurts so bad. Anyone seen this? http://www.manonwire.com/ Besides me and chaslor, I mean. Great movie, that would probably make most of you pass out. I saw it a couple weeks ago. Fantastic film. It helped that I knew the ending. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, all long hair had to be braided and tied up for any kind of ride, temporary or permanent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
