Dane Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I have heard from a friend that 04 there will be no snapping on the Flyers. And anyone will do will be ejected from the park under destruction of property. Anyone else heard this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialk141 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 i have not heard this... and i sure hope that it is just another nasty rumor! i like to think i'm pretty good with the flyers, and snapping really adds to the experience! i would hate to not be able to snap anymore! I have never heard of any accidents where cables have snapped on rides like the flyers, however i can see wehre the danger is, and how extensive damage could occur to the cables so i could see this happening. It has never seemd to be a problem before... i guess we'll just have to wait till 04 to find out! i'm sure they would have a big sign warning us.... :cowboy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 As you may recall from the Boomerang Bay tour, Jeff Seibert mentioned that he likes to make the Flyers snap (I have all this stuff on tape ) I sincerely doubt he would promote something that's a menace to the park.

Dan Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 This rumor comes up every year, and every year it is not true. The reason why the park will still let guests snap the flyers is because they were designed that way. No damage is done when a guest snaps one of the flyers. The rule that does not allow guests to snap flyers goes on in other parks because they have flyers that are not designed to have the cables snap like PKI's. Of coarse, the park could implement a ban on snapping flyers and be pricks, but they are not like that. So ultimately, this rumor has no truth to it.

Stitch Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I remember this comming up last year and in 01 lol. The Flyers are designed to handle snapping, that's why the have so much slack to take the force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIDelirium Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 hey, if they banned it, they can't really enforce it. I'd still do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
