Kev Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 So I was at KI last weekend and was riding Diamondback at night. As we got to the water splash I felt a large amount of pressure on my arm like something pushing. It was only when the train started to go up that I noticed my arm & shirt was wet. I was in the very back seat so I knew it was the water shooting up that got me. I felt kind of stupid for holding my arms out so much but I did run into another person the next day that told me it happend to him too. So I guess my question is how many of you have had this happen to you? Ive been envenomed. Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 whenever in row 16 I turn completely around and get soaked in the face and arms and upper chest, it amazing Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I always get wet when I ride in row 16. Quote
Kev Posted July 19, 2009 Author Posted July 19, 2009 whenever in row 16 I turn completely around and get soaked in the face and arms and upper chest, it amazing Wow .... If I would have thought about that I would have done it. Quote
Beast79 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I almost lost my sunglasses by getting hit by the water!! I love row 16 Quote
goofywdw Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 On one of my first rides in row 16 I turned around during the splashdown and got it right in the forehead! It was like late March so the water was freezing! Quote
HTCO Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I put my hand back once and it got soaked! But usually I don't want to get wet. Quote
violakat03 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I always get wet in row 16, that's one of my favorite parts of that row! My husband's gotten it the best I've seen so far. He leaned way over and stuck both arms in the splash. His entire shirt, part of his shorts, both arms, and his head were completely soaked. He looked like he'd gotten off a water ride, not a roller coaster! Quote
Touchdown Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 If you dont want to get wet on the hill down to the splash down, grab the restraint and duck down. Ive only once got a little spray in the back doing this. Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 That only happens if im rideing in row 16. but sometimes, even if i am, i dont get wet at all Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Does it hurt when the splashdown hits your face? because I thought it was pretty powerful on my hand. Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 ^no not really. I did it once and my face barely got wet Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 It kind of like getting hit in the face with a garden hose Quote
IslandAddict Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 ^ The water, or the actual hose itself? The second option would hurt quite much, depending on who whipped it. Quote
CedarPointer Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Except that garden hose water isn't green and digusting... Quote
kingsisland101 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Its happened to me TOO! I got my arm wet before! Quote
mtl2013 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 ya most definately the water from the hose, not the actual hose. that wuld kill. Quote
