murphz Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 why are the lights always on now? Also, WATCH OUT for the right front seat on the trains. Im not exactly sure if its all of them or one, but ive never seen it until now. Theres this bar that doesnt look temporary that is in the way of where your right foot should go on the righthand side. It makes ur foot hurt ... Anyone know about this either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsMasta Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 which lights are you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXBomber Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 They added more colored lights in the ride area, so you can see more of the supports that look like they are going to hit you. And that thing in the front right seat has always been like that. Jeez, they add a couple lights and people complain when I like it much more now!

teenageninja Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I was in that seat today, Brad even told me to push my lapbar down one more click hehe, anyways, ya that thing didn't bother me, and the new lights look really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXBomber Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 LOL! I really told you to click it one more? Haha, thats great. I normally do that when the bar is high up, because when the train goes through the first inversion, the force normally pushes the bar down even more (at least it happens to me) and I tell guests to click it down more (or do it myself if it is really too high) so it doesn't jam down on them when they go through the inversion. They may think it's stupid, but they will be saying something completely different when the bar clanks down on them hard. The way I see it, better to have the bar pushed slowly down than forced down.

DegenRider Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I liked the ride better with the OTSR's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXBomber Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Really? Most people hated the OTSRs. I like the new ones better, because it doesn't hurt to ride anymore. I liked riding FoF with the OTSRs, but I LOVE riding it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7D Rules Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I never liked the OTSR's either. I always found it very painful. It was also rumored that there was a change in the wheels as well. Is this correct? And if so, what kind of change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars1825 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 They repalce wheels all the time on any coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 What kind of change? Well, probably .... took off old wheels... put on new. Presto, you have a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 It's ok Brad I did'nt mind it was up a little anyways. I"m just not used to ebing able to buckle my belt alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7D Rules Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I really didn't mean just a regular change in the wheels. I was talking about something really different that was supposed to make a difference in the ride as well. I figured that it is something that wouldn't be mentioned if it was just a regular change in wheels. Like possibly a design change. Don't really know.

murphz Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 I guess it is possible i just got my foot in there wrong and closed the lapbar and that prevented me from getting it right =/ Probably because ive never had that happen before. As for the make sure ur bar ir tight early, i would agree on rides like FoF. But on Vortex having them slightly loose gives nice airtime on the hill, and it never pushes down.

DX8706 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I like it better when the lights are on. It gives you the feeling that your gonna hit the other parts of the track. The first time I rode it they were on and it freaked me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
