screamingnight Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I`m thinking about going on face/off. The thing I`m afraid of is that when you go up the hill you are pressed against the safety bar. I never been on face/off is this true that you are pressed against the bar? Is there any way to prevent this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gburn07 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I really dont think it hurts when you do get pressed against the restraint. That is one of the smoothest rides by means of no headbanging and the whole motion of going up the second hill. The chain catches the car smoothly, which results in very little jarring or being slammed against the restraint while facing down. Even with the hour wait it has most of the time, I still think its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, Face Off IMO, is one of the underrated rides at PKI. True its capacity is nothing to write home about. But the ride is in general a very smooth ride. The g forces on the ride are quite powerful. This ride doesn`t waste time with "cute" turns and little drops. It is all aboout the loops and the two hills that get the trains up to speed to clear the inversions. The ride is definantly a unique ride experience.

gburn07 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, to add about the gforces this thing has. I've been to the big daddy parks with the big rides (CP, G.Lake, Hershey, and i'll even throw Kennywood into it), and none of those rides has ever made me come near to blacking out like Face Off did. Dont be fooled by the small stats of this ride ( 48 mph, short ride time, three inversions), this thing packs one heck of a punch and was my biggest surprise at the park the first time I was there. Besides, watching the ride zoom over you really shortens the length of the wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye-Beast Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 One time last year, I thought I was going to black-out for a few seconds. Somewhere around the loop I started to get tunnel vision, it was a pretty cool sensation, and it hasn't happened since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
