Scariest Moments

Not really a *scary* moment for me, more of a *shiver* moment:

One summer (forget which now) I rode the King Cobra like 20 times in a row.

There was no line and we could get off and get back on.  (It was a weekday)

Anyway, about an hour later we heard a loud noise, and go over to see that the Cobra was stuck in the helix.  We later found out that one of the wheels came off and it ground into the helix to stop.

No one was seriously injured, though.  But it made me think twice about the King Cobra, even though I *LOVE* that ride and miss it.

i dont believe you

Whatever....you must be a kid. I was about 15-16 years old so it would have been 1985-1986.

I (thankfully) do not have any scary moments to share. (Knock on wood...) I've never been in any type of amusement park ride-problem or accident...but the thing that scares me most of all is that it can happen at ANY TIME. Altough rides are designed to be as safe as possible, we sure as hell don't live in a perfect world where everyone dies simply of old age.

If I ever am involved in a ride accident or the such, I sure hope to live to tell about it!!!

I got stuck on recaR one time in the brake tunnel. I was in there for about 2 hours and it was burning up. Nothing will compare to the time I was stuck on the top of Drop Zone for a couple of hours. They didn't even warn us when they'd drop us. It was the scarriest thing I've ever been through lol.

WOW That would suck majorly. How long exactly were you up there? That would be a pretty good place to get stuck tho, you have a really nice view of the park from all the way up there! Haha....the only bad part would be the surprise fall of 300 feet..haha...but i guess they figured that you had waited that long, you might as well get your ride out of it!! Haha..

Her is a question to all who have worked on Drop Zone, Is there anyway of brining the ride down from the top without the sudden drop?
