The Interpreter Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 There were several reasons those particular T-bar restraints are no longer offered in North America. See also Darien Lake, Six Flags New England.... In any event, the restraints on Diamondback are of a type that has proven to be both effective and comfortable. Always a good combination.

Shaggy Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I too would have Knotts in my stomach if my T-Bar were perilously re-straining me. Shaggy - who thinks he finally coined a Terpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have not posted in a while so I guess this is as good of chance as any to re-insert myself in the world of KICentral. I personally was one of the few people on this site who have been involved in an accident at KI. Specifically the Son of Beast one...

Racerrider Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 ^i din't think anyone had but a lot of people in springboro did, i remember people talking about it on and on and on, (springboro people tend to believe anything) but once i actually rode it i didn't thnk it was possible to fall out. According to my science class, people have fallen out of Son of Beast, Drop Zone, TRTR, IJST, and The Beast. Also, the reason for the bars at the top of the Eiffel Tower is because people kept jumping off. And, best of all, "Saddleback" is "500 feet tall", "200mph", and built by "Balderdash & Mallard". ... Misinformed people drive me nuts. You know, those kind of people who will say anything to make others think they know what they're talking about. well they are from Springboro so what can you expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
