OldieButGoodie Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Back to your original post - yes, you can ride Slingshot by yourself. Just remember to get your ticket early to get the best price. But there *is* a weight requirement. I cannot recall what it is, probably 100#, but my 11-year-old son had to wait many cycles for somebody to ride with (not I, certainly!), because he was too light.

When I worked Slingshot in 2005 the weight requirement was, I believe 110 or 120 lbs. Not sure if that is the same now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 When your butt comes out of the seat like that, it's called "airtime", which Diamondback has a lot of. That said, even with a small body like you described, you can still get the lap bar pretty tight. As for "almost fell out", if the restraint is properly secured, you will not fall out. Period. It feels weirdly safe though, my niece and I are 5'2", 100 pounds, and for me, DB feels like the safest, comfiest seat in the park. They have little handgrips on the side of the chair, if you don't like the looseness of flying up, but with the lap bar design, even with airtime, it feels safe.

Cedar Shaman Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 If I could, I would have Diamondback's seats in my living room. So comfy. Agreed. Diamondback's seats are perfectly comfortable, nap inducing on the lift hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
