Guest rcfreak339 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 This can happen but very, very rarely. That is is why the train has seatbelts and not just lapbars just in case something like this does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well that sounds very....unfortunate. Mine was probably when I was on Vortex and it stopped midway up the lift and we had to walk down the catwalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I was on Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens, and the brakeman had a seizure. I was too far back to do any thing. A boy about 12 years old was able to hold the man up in the seat, and bring the coaster to a stop. (In the station no less, not perfect but good enough for me.) http://www.rcdb.com/ig1054.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 My 6 year old (at the time) got lost at a county fair after I had staffed our office's booth and was wearing a shirt identifying me as an assistant prosecutor. But, obviously, the deputies there knew me and responded immediately!!! He was found after the scariest few miniutes of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kwindshawne Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Loma Prieta earthquake, 1989. I didn't sleep for days-and the earth below me didn't feel very safe. Xenia tornado of 1974 runs a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kwindshawne Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I've seen two in my life-that was the bigger one. It's pretty-whats the word-well, you can't take your eyes off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Mine would probably be riding Drop Zone (thats what it was called at the time) for the first time. I was just barley tall enough to ride and I was so scared. It was awesome though. I can't really think of a time something went wrong at KI when I was on a ride.

ZukoGirl Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think my most recent moment of being scared to death was on The Effiel Tower. I usually I'm not too afraid of heights. But the last I went up there there was the young boy jumping up and down. And I mean really really hard. I don't know if it was me but I thought I seen the floor bend inward. I looked between the space on the floor and realized there was nothing under it for extra support. I know the tower would never fall in, but still tto see the board bend like that. Plus it was very windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Theater Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 When me and my friend were around six we were at KI,we were in line for Runaway Reptar and we saw that Thornberrys had opened back up so we got outta line to find our parents so we cold go ride it.They were at the exit of Reptar and we didnt know it so we were lost and I was scared outta my mind.It started to pour rain and I was starting to burst out in tears,but we went the first aid and called them.Then they came and got us and we were all right!

RWildman424 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I once went with a group to a place in Kentucky, I don't remember the name, but it was a place with a large amount of smooth rocks on the side of a large ravine. They had been formed from a large amount of water moving around a long time ago. Thats about all I know about the place, sorry I don't have a name. Anyways, you were free to do what ever you wanted anywhere in the place. The were many places where one slip meant death. No rails, no fences, no nothing to keep you alive except your own common sense. There were multiple times that day where I knew that one wrong move meant that I would fall to my death. There was one place in particular where you could look hundreds of feet down a crack between 2 rocks. It wasn't very far, but far enough that you could fall if you didn't get a good jump. I made it with plenty of distance to spare, but never the less, it was still a scary moment just knowing there is a chance you could slip. Much more exciting and scary than any coaster I've ever been on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I was scared when the guy riding The Beast in front of me got his arms chopped off when going through the final helix with his hands up. OoooOOOoooOoOOoOoo!! The government covered it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
