  1. Our system is very much a like. Everyone that has a yellow wrist band must have a parent in the water. Anyone wich has a yellow wrist band that is under the age of 6 must have a parent within arms reach.
  2. http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories...tml?jst=b_ln_hl Cf is not a happy camper.
  3. Whenever my wife and I decide to have kids they wont see a waterpark until they are tall enough to stand in the shallow end of a regular pool, and know how to swim. Where were the parents? I have seen some very ****ty parenting. Take this for instance it was at teh grocery store and there was a man with his boy. The boy had no shirt on with was wearing roller skates!!! Notthe shoes with the wheels, but roller skates!!! It doesnt matter if they can stand in the shallow water. Their heads are heaviar than their bodys they will very easily go head first into the water and not be able to pick themselfs up. Just sayin...
  4. I wish the best for the family. This is aweful. I cant imagin how they feel.
  5. Im a lifeguard at Countryside YMCA and we are not babysitters. We keep our eyes on hundreds of people every day, and the parents cant even keep their eyes on one child.
  6. Beautifuly written Terpy!
  7. Drop Tower does have speakers at the top.
  8. I have never seen anything like this before. And I thought I would share. EDIT: The YouTube Insert is not working for me.
  9. ^^ If Intamin is so wrong. Where would you categories it for them?
  10. ^ As you can see Paramount's Kings Dominion changed the gyro drop slightly to fit capacity needs. Intamin still considers it a gyro drop.
  11. Theirs drops a longer distance. Our brakes stop the ride earlier than their ride. He is right. Our Drop Tower drops us 264 feet. Also, that is the tallest non-gyro drop ride in North America. Our Drop Tower is the tallest gyro drop ride in the world. What is the difference between a gyro drop and a non-gyro drop? The car on a gyro drop spins around while it is ascending. Notice how our Drop Tower makes one full 360 degree revolution on its way to the top. Intamin, considers Kings Dominion's Drop Tower a Gyro Drop. Well, then Intiman is wrong. Kings Dominion Drop Tower does not spin. It shows it very clearly that is does NOT spin. I does not have to spin to be considered a gyro drop. And Intamin considers it a gyro drop. I dont think they are wrong. No, it does have to spin to be a gyro drop. http://www.ridetrade.com/rti/index.php?opt...7&Itemid=37 Read it. Also, if Kings Dominion DT was a gyro drop, then it would be the tallest gyro drop in the world. Last time I checked, it wasn't. So, Kings Dominion DT is NOT a gyro drop. One, Intamin does not say the gyro model has to spin to be considered a gyro drop. Two, Paramount's Kings Dominion changed the gyro drop to fit the specific needs for capacity. Three, Kings Islands Drop Tower is the tallest gyro drop in the world, but Kings Dominions Drop Tower drops from a higher point. STATS KI DT: Height of Tower 315 feet Height from which riders drop 264 feet Maximum Speed 67 mph STATS KD DT: Height of Tower 305 feet Height from wich riders drop 272 feet Maximum Speed 72 mph
