HTCO Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 ^ And I'll be right behind ya! I think it would be amazing with new trains. Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I think it would be more enjoyable and less painful. Quote
StalkerChick Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 The other day one of the girls at Db (the shorter blond one i believe) said " Make sure you say hi to the crypt on your way by, the worlds largest indoor ferris wheel" needless to say the KIC'ers started applauding her on the way out of the station Quote

I find that very humorous. Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Sometimes I wish they took them off The Vortex and replaced them with lap bars. Yea, that's not going to happen. Quote

goofywdw Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 ^You would probably break a few ribs. Those otsr's are what keep you in one place during the ride. Quote
teenageninja Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I think its interesting when they check the restraints. Quote
Diamondback96 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 ^You would probably break a few ribs. Those otsr's are what keep you in one place during the ride. So without them, you just move around a lot? Nothing else happens? hooky, trying Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 If they did take off the otsr's you would problaly break your neck/back, since it will have nothing to bang into anymore...except the other riders sholder and or head....OWWWW>! Quote
coaster_junky Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 i would still like to see some of the trains like the ones on carolina cobra replace the ones it has now. Quote
HTCO Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I think its interesting that ride ops staple people. Not nice. I got stapled for the first time on the 7th. My 70th ride on Diamondback. And boy was I peeved. Quote
XjoshhyX Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 This has been a while now, but when i was riding on the old Antique Cars the ride op said to us while riding on the car side, "Now remember, this is Days of Thunder, and bumping is encouraged, so spin out your opponents and remember to 'gesture' on your way around them!"

And boy was I peeved. I hate when I get stapled into the seat I dont get as much airtime and I love airtime It's my favorite. And you know what really sucks about this? I was already locked in with a gap and everything... But they had to unlock only our car, so this guy could get in behind me. And before I could put it back down, the ride op was there. Boy did he get me good. Quote

dare-to-fly Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 If they did take off the otsr's you would problaly break your neck/back, since it will have nothing to bang into anymore...except the other riders sholder and or head....OWWWW>! I seriously doubt that any of that would ever happen. You'd just move with the forces of the right without your head banging into anything. The right kind of lap bars would work just fine on Vortex - see Flight of Fear with and without OTSR's. Quote

CedarPointer Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 "Attention guests waiting in line to ride- please do not sit, stand, swing, or tap dance on the silver handrails..." Quote
Whales_Rock Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 ^ Lol. My friends and I never get caught doing any of that stuff on the handrails Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I always sit on the bottom part of the handrail. Quote
Whales_Rock Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 ^ My friends climb on it like its a monkey bar or something. But we never get caught. Ever. We could be sitting right in front of them. But our feet were real real tired so we didnt care at that point. We were walking around ALL day. Quote
HTCO Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 ^ As a member of the online community of Kings Island Central, you are suppose to be a role model for other guests. Quote
CedarPointer Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 When I do sit on the handrails (which is VERY rare), I sit on the second, lower rung. At Cedar Point, that's their suggested alternative to sitting on top. The only time I've done this in recent memory is on DB opening day, after being in line for two hours and finally getting to DB's queue. Quote

But our feet were real real tired so we didnt care at that point. We were walking around ALL day. If you are tired sit down and eat or find a bench. I have seen people ejected from the park for sitting on the handrails.They are not for your tushy they are for your hands. Quote

"Here at Kings Island, we like to call those brown things handrails...not butt rails, so get your butts off them and get your hands back on them!" But just like FOF, us tall kids will have NO leg room! Cry me a river! I'm 6'3" and I fold into FOF just fine! Quote
