I would think playing football would be more hazardous that riding a coaster....however, I would still check with the doc on the whole thing. If the doc clears it, go for it. A neurologist is a brain doc, so i assume it is ok, also my regular doc has ok'd it too, but i think if i had survived the Villain as my first coaster, {ROUGHEST RIDE IN THE WORLD}, and The Beast, it might be ok but i still must be careful.

I think my shunt is rubber, and i get a ct scan on it every year and its been fine, im going to have to get it replaced as im growing, anyway. It is on the outside of my skull under my skin. I do all i can, to protect it i just have a big coaster fetish, and The Beast helped me get over the fear of my shunt . I do not want to bring anything bad to the coaster industry whatsoever, my shunt moves all the time, not that much but it does. My neurologist says that there has been people play football with shunts, so i can as long as i be as careful as i can. I never put my hands in the are, only hold on tho the lap bar, and press my head firmly against my headrest.

I havent loggged in in a while, the villain was my first coaster and i loved. my doctor used to say no contact sports, but also said that there have been people who played it, so i ride coasters as if i am playing football, and take the risk. I have a lot of fun on them, and i listened to my neurologist, and have fun on rollercoasters while still being carefull. i hold on at all times and hold my head steady, if i can especially during my favorite loop {as seen in Vortex} the corkscrew. i also read the signs about head back neck and heart problems. and if i could i love coasters so much that i would just tape a sign to my chest saying, i am riding under my own will, and will not sue. i had the shunt put in when i was three, as i have hydrocephellin

having a shunt in my head, i was afraid to ride many coasters in fear of hurting it. Even though rollercoasters are what i have always desired, except for wooden. until one day i saw The Beast and thought that i would try it. I tried it and know im hooked all coasters especially wooden.

Does the media even know what a corkscrew is LOL.

Thanks for the tip PKIBEAST, I appreciate it, as I 'm new here, I 'll try to do that. You, and every else here is very knowledgible, and I thank you for that.

It's not rough-at least in warm weather. The only gripe Ihave is my short stature puts my ears right against the shoulder restraints-so I get my head banged around a lot. It's not the coasters fault-so in the off season, I think I'm going to design some sort of foam padding that will cushion my brain. I am usually horribly dizzy afterwards from it. Im short too, im only 4,9 I got my head bumped around a lot, but I loved it so much

You guys are the kindest coaster enthusiasts out there, thanks so much. This forum is better than other sites, its the best. Am I right.

Ok, Sorry

Thanks So much, it worked

Im new here and I was just wondering how do you get the avatars underneath your name, please reply Thanx very much

What I meant to say, was that nobody should sue. If anything they should just take it to the ride safety adminestration. I sorry that I was unclear. I do think they should do what ever it takes to make it safe before opening it.

Thanks, The Beast is awesome

Im New Here, Is it weird that I love rollercoasters, (and PKI) so much, that Im practically obsessed with them.

I think that all of your ideas are awesome

Thanks for your kindness, I love pki. I understand about the run-ons. Its just because I had a lot to tell you. I just had so much fun, and was very excited to tell you. I think all of your threads are awesome thanks,

You might be a pki addict, if you sit in a chair, and pretend that you are pulling the over the shoulder restraints down on drop zone, face/off, Vortex, top gun, Delirium, and tomb raider. And act like you are getting ready to ride them

This is kinda late, because i just signed up for this forum. But i went to pki on july 22nd. I didn 't get to ride Son of Beast, because of the accident, but i started the day off great with top gun with a short wait. Then, I rode RACER which is an awesome classic, that had a kinda short wait still awesome. after that, I took a ride on Vortex, which is one of the best their, it had a short wait. After that i rode Italian Job, which is one of the worst, but has good themeing though. After that, I rode The Beast it had a kinda long wait but was still one of the best there, i loved the helix tunnel. After that i rode Tomb Raider the Ride, a great Huss Giant TopSpin with great effects, the longest wait there,but it was awesome, after that, I ended the day with A ride up the Eiffel Tower, I didnt ride FACE/OFF, but still had a great time. Sorry that my post is long, PLEASE REPLY

Im new here those pics are awesome. I like the way the sky looks above Delirium. I went to Kings Island for the first time this summer, and loved it, i especially loved The Beast, and Vortex, didnt have time for face/off though.

Im new here,I love Kings Island in Mason. I would hate it if Vortex Got Torn Down. I think Vortex is awesome, especially the batwing. Who cares if it is rough I think it is awesome, am i right.

Wooden Rollercoasters are almost always rough, thats why I like them. Im sorry when I say this, but nobody died, or had any life-threatening injuries, so they should get on with their lives. do you agree with me.
