CincyMan98 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Not many - it's only 48".....but I swear, I heard that. And also, at The Beast dispatch, the crew "interviewed" some kid and they asked him how old he was and he answered 6. And I believe that. Quote
KIfan1980 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 How many five year olds are tall enough to ride Beast? I knew at least one for a short time. See below Not many - it's only 48".....but I swear, I heard that. And also, at The Beast dispatch, the crew "interviewed" some kid and they asked him how old he was and he answered 6. And I believe that. I would, my son turned 6 on Monday and is tall enough for The Beast and he definitely was not the tallest six year old at his birthday party. Although, I have not yet let him ride The Beast yet - there are some things that the park, lawyers, and insurance companies might say is ok that I'm not willing to sign up for. Quote
CedarPointer Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 My dad after riding Dodgems: "Those were the slowest bumper cars I've ever seen!" I love it when non-enthusiasts realize things like that... 1 Quote
jondrewfoo Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 haha yeah, i honestly hate how slow those bumper cars are. My favorite bumper cars are at Coney Island and at Dollywood. Those were my favorite ride at both parks! Then again, i havent been back to dollywood since 1997, where as a happy young 7 year old I purchased an official Dollywood Pocket Knife... they didnt even age check me! Quote
violakat03 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 How many five year olds are tall enough to ride Beast? My friend's 4 year old daughter is tall enough. She's 49"! She'll probably be tall enough for Diamondback when she's 6. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Thanks! As one who was allowed to ride coasters even before he was born, I can only imagine how awful it would be to not yet be tall enough to ride. Then again, I do remember being too large to ride Superman at Six Flags Over Georgia and how upset I was about that. At least that was a situation that was somewhat in my control and I was old enough to understand why. The only other coaster that rejected me was Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Great America, and I had ridden its siblings before... Not that any of this was why I subsequently engaged in mass reduction, it wasn't. Nice side benefit, though.... Quote
Jamesv7 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I was in line for Flight deck and herd a guest say KI payed for Diamondback by Selling the Props from Top Gun on Ebay. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Must you rub it in to him? Huh? I can ride V2 now with the restraints in their lowest position. It's T2 that now makes me wish I couldn't ride it. Terpy, a far, far lesser man than he once was Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I figured you could fit now because you say you've lost so much weight. I was kinda kidding. By the way, congratulations on all of the weight loss. Also, you're on here early today. 1 Quote
mtl2013 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Must you rub it in to him? I was just messin around you know. I wasnt trying to like be mean or anyting. And yeah, congrats! Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I was just kidding. I guess I should've added a '' or something? Quote
Kat Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 "this ride doesn't go upside down, it's an indoor coaster!!" (about FoF, which DOES go upside down, at least 2x) 1 Quote
Kat Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I think it does four times. They went to Firehawk after FoF (as did I) and I was SOOO tempted to say "I told you it went upside down" to them lol. Quote
israel09 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I think it does four times. lol yeah, alot of people think it only goes upside down once (the corkscrew at the end) but it actually has 4 inversions there's a cobra roll which is two. the corkscrew at the end. and there on more, but the i cant ever notice what kind,. lol i know it's there though Quote
violakat03 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 It goes immediately from the cobra roll (first element of the ride after the launch) into a sidewinder inversion. Then the corkscrew at the end is #4. I have the entire layout of that ride memorized. 1 Quote
coaster_junky Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 guy in line for Flight of Fear: "this ride doesn't go upside down" girl with him: "how do you know?" guy: "it doesn't have those big bulky harnesses that go over your shoulders" girl: "what does that have to do with going upside down?" guy: "for insurance reasons, just look at Son of Beast, it only had the lap belt and the insurance companies told Cedar Point that they needed to either remove the loop or put on the shoulder harness, so Cedar Point just took out the loop." 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 That gentleman needs to go all the way to Louisville and ride the wonderful example from Anton there...or Six Flags Over Georgia, Hersheypark, etc. He's in for quite the surprise! 1 Quote
CedarPointer Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 A friend called the side of The Racer which wasn't running during our visit (Blue) the "White Racer", since she had heard me call the red side "Red Racer". She also called Action Theater "Attraction Theater". Quote

Ohhhhhh dear. Did you correct them?! Quote
Tomkatt7 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Wonder how many times he thought Flight Deck went upside down? It has those big bulky shoulder harnesses... LOL 1 Quote
LordSkippy Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Girl looking at The Racer while in line for The Zephyr: "Look, mommy! The Son of The Beast is running!" Man, she even screwed up the name of the ride she thought it was! 1 Quote
CincyMan98 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Ya I don't think a young girl would no anything about that. Quote
screamingnight Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 An eight year old boy that was sitting on the right side of me on Drop Tower said that kids fall out this all the time. I glanced at him and shook my head. 1 Quote
