DeLorean Rider Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Holy cow! I cannot even imagine that. There is a similar ride called SkyScraper in Flordia. It was on the discovery channel years ago and I remember them saying that they pressurize all of the rails and piping of the ride and have a monitor to see if there is any chang in pressure. Obviously if pressure is lost then they know that they have a hairline crack somewhere and they will deal with it immediately. Somehow I doubt that this particular ride was as well cared for.

Guest kwindshawne Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Terrible. I think something like that would make me hurl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Another reason why I don't ride Fair Rides. They are not kept up as well as fixed rides. This is very sad news though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchce Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Fair rides have always worried me. Something like this is just horrible. Somehow I doubt that this particular ride was as well cared for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Those things get taken apart so much, things are likely to wear over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
