Atleast they weren't 100 ft off the ground.

I wonder if they had to pay extra for that experience. I would!
Higley probably would, too. (Or is he one of those old fogey 'wooden coaster' fans? I forget.)

Higley likes 'em all, unlike me. I'm almost purely "wooden coaster" and dark rides. I would never have paid money to get on that thing in the video.
And Big Jeff--if it had been 100 feet over the ground, THEN it would have been exciting! |

I once took a group of students to "physics Day" at Knott's Berry farm. They got stick upside down on "hammerhead" for about 20 minutes
The park staff finally got them off and asked them if they were ok as they left the ride. I would have offered free passes or something. I felt that to handle that problme that was was bad public relations.

Both are fun if you do it right! |

I don't know. If the park staff got me off I might think it well worth the money spent. Especially if they were babes.

If it spins. I don't go. I'm more the coaster type...Hyper Coasters please and wood of course. At this age I don't care to be 'thrown' around every which way and there's something else lately. If I bend over to tie a shoe the blood runs to my head so it's uncomfortable...if I was hung upsidedown my life expectancy would be about 2 minutes. So even on the big coasters that loop, I make the pact that if it gets stuck in the apex, it gets stuck, if I go I go...what a glorious way to bow out! woo hoo!! I WILL ENJOY my last ride!

I'm a wooden coaster kind of guy myself. When you weigh over 300 lbs., you definitely don't want to hang upside down, even for a second.

I've never been stuck on a ride, we do know NOT to let Daddy on rides that last too long and don't let him ride anything twice if it spins! I think they're still talking about the wimpy white guy leaving a "Sprograph" pattern on the Scrambler ride in Coney Island! Well, I'll tell a lie. I did have the "doom buggy" in The Haunted Mansion stop several times while I was riding it. I think someone on the line was fooling around. It was the first time I'd gone through the graveyard and noticed "EXIT" signs in the background, they must have come on in case we had to be removed. We didn't, worse the luck, it would have been cool to walk out through the graveyard!
