NoChickens Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Rode Vortex last Friday, tried out 5-1, and it was the best ride I've got from it in a long time. I personally hope it's there for years to come. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideWarriorAP Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 If Kings Island ends up getting a B&M Invert next year, then I am convinced Vortex will go in the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I have certain rides where I have my obligatory rides on, but I try to avoid Vortex at all cost. I can not handle that coaster more than a couple times per year. If it rode like Tennessee Tornado at Dollywood, I would ride that baby all DAY. I will ride Vortex if others want to, but I prefer to sit it out. I can handle Invertigo. I like to ride it at least once each time I go. The only ride that I have not ridden that is currently operating (that I am allowed to ride) is Skyflyer. I won a BOGO coupon for Skyflyer at one of those wheel spiner whatchamacallits, and I have not used it yet. I need someone to pull the cord for me! I invision myself at the top like this.... Ride Op: "3.... 2.... 1.... fly." Me: "Nope." SOOOO, anyone wanna pull my cord? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I cant think of any rides that I wont ride.... Oh wait... Drop Tower....Sure I haven't rode it, but I rode a 'pathetic version' of it at a fair, and it was really unpleasant. So why would I want to ride a much bigger one? I don't like not-knowing when im going to fall....and its straight down. Im not to big on it, but, that's just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can know when you're going to drop if you know a little trick. Once you are all the way at the top, you will hear a "clunk" sound. The drop begins six seconds after that clunk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 As coaster enthusiasts, I wouldn't think a lot of you are afraid of Firehawk! I don't mind it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Ther rides ive never ridden are Drop Tower because I have a fear of falling and Slingshot not worth my money and looks dangerous to me. Would you ride a dive coaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The restraints put too much pressure on my chest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medford Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think your talking about the woodstock whirlybirds? My four year old is over it but the two year old still loves it. I try to get it in early before the line and the heat hits. It turns into an oven in there. Yeah, that's the one ride I always hope she doesn't take notice. " You want to ride the whirlybirds? How about we get some blue ice cream!" Works every time! Thanks, yes I meant the whirlybirds. If you can walk right on, they're tolerable, but since we general go in the evenings, while the lines for most other rides in Planet Snoopy are fairly quick, that lone moves agonzingly slow. Hate the lines for flying ace arial chase as well, but at least the ride is pretty fun; there's nothing redeeming about the whirlybirds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'll ride everything. I love Firehawk and Vortex (especially in 7-1). On Vortex, I usually can't get my restraint to get another click down, so there is a lot of room between my body and the restraint, which makes the 1st drop amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 ^Same here! I second what ohiocolts said; I'll ride anything and everything. I'm very flexible when it comes to rides. On Vortex, I usually can't get my restraint to get another click down, so there is a lot of room between my body and the restraint, which makes the 1st drop amazing. That also happens with me, although I've had a few occasions when it clicked yet another time (so it held me in tighter) but the ride is still a lot of fun. When that happens, I always think "Dang it! That last click got me again!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 After the first drop, it seems that when I go back up again, it finally clicked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 That also happens to me on Flight Deck; while going up the lift hill the restraint clicks again. But it doesn't happen every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheaterKiss Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I will ride anything at least once. I have rode, but will never again, Firehawk. It was deafening, hurt my shins, and just didn't seem fast enough to feel right. I also have not ridden Drop Tower in quite sometime, just doesn't do much for me but I would ride again if someone I was with wanted to.

FlyingEagle Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I usually ride about everything in the park except the water rides dont like getting my clothes wet and walking around in them. Also i usually wont ride any of the rides in Planet Snoopy unless I'm there with kids who want to ride them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I've had a few occasions when it clicked yet another time (so it held me in tighter) but the ride is still a lot of fun. When that happens, I always think "Dang it! That last click got me again!" This happened to me on the Blue Racer when I went Tuesday. Somewhere between the first drop and the turnaround hill, my lap bar clicked once more and it held my right leg in really tightly (which was somewhat painful). And to answer the question of what I won't ride? I'll ride anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwitb Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Lets see. I've now rode every thrill ride, most flats, no kiddies (obviously), so that leave Eiffel Tower. I absolutely hate being in that elevator because they put so many people in it. If you ask the op the weight limit they will tell you they go by capacity, which doesn't help. I'd walk up the stairs, but there's far too many steps. Did I mention I hate just being at the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I love the Eiffel Tower. Ironically I horrified of Drop Tower and I could care less about WindSeeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
