homestar92 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Don't worry everybody, Intimidator did NOT receive seatbelts, so don't count on Diamondback receiving them. I don't think that means that it WON'T though. Diamondback is in Ohio where laws are different. And to my knowledge, it is the only B&M Hypercoaster in Ohio. Had Intimidator received them, I think Diamondback would definitely be getting them. Since Intimidator didn't have them, I don't think it means Diamondback won't, but it confirms that there is a possibility that it could still go either way. 4
HTCO Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Just because its not under Ohio law, US law, or a CF policy for all coasters to have seat belts, doesn't mean they can't add them to whatever they want. 1
venom Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I think it would kind of ruin the ride experience for me if they added seat belts. I'm lightweight and I enjoy the excessive airtime that would not occur with a seat belt.
CoasterMyths79 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I must admit, it will be a little scarier for me riding DB this year after the accident at SFOT. And yes, I do realize that Bolliger and Mabillard and Gerstlauter are two different companies.
LordSkippy Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I have also heard this rumor. An acquaintance of mine who works at the park (but not at the Dippin' Dots stall) told me with utmost sincerity that Diamondback is getting seat belts this year.I don't buy it. 1

FoF96" Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Let us not mention that name. It is but a memory now.. 9

He's going to the park on April 18th and is going to ride the big, bad new green Intamin! 7
thedevariouseffect Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Honestly on the forums he was a bit odd, and obviously didn't play by the rules unfortunately, however in person he was a very enjoyable and fun guy to hang out with at the park. Def. a grab a beer, wait in line, and ride a coaster kinda person 6

KI FANATIC 37 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I never had a problem with him; I always thought he was a nice guy. 2
Tr0y Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 All this talk about Youngstud I'm starting to think you all miss him. 3
thedevariouseffect Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I do, I'd like to meet him again. He's quirky, however, most of us do have some quirks. I mean he just talks to himself on a forum, other than that he was completely normal in person, just enjoyed trolling some of you that lost to his game quite easily. But like I said, neat guy in person, on here, eh obviously there were issues. 3
coasterfanatic83 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Some do. He made things interesting from time to time And his differing viewpoints on things were sometimes enlightening! 2
TTD-120-420 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 All this talk about Youngstud I'm starting to think you all miss him. U mad, bro? 11
stashua123 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 He was an okay member that sometimes I would just not like(Like turning Starting to Decode 2014 into an Intamin vs. B&M discussion.) But he had his moments. At least he was not as bad the infamous member that starts with B and ends with Y 1
jcgoble3 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 At least he was not as bad the infamous member that starts with B and ends with Y...except that he was Big Sexy.Edit: beaten Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain
BeastForever Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I miss his funny spelling mistakes. (Not even trying to be sarcastic or mean here, I really do miss them!) It seems like it was just yesterday when he said that he is surprised that a certain company has not been "defunked"... I am surprised s&s/sensai has not been defunked. Their failures include Invertigos, and hypersonic xlc. But alas, things change and we must move on. Ultimately, I respect the admins' decision to let him go... 6
stashua123 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Which was one and the same actually This is all i have got to say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me-VhC9ieh0
themuska11 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Seems i started a reminiscence about Youngstud.
rcwizard13 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Wow, it seems this thread has turned into a thread all about a single member on these forums. That's gotta be a first.
TheCrypt Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 There are a lot of members I miss like tombraiderty and standbyme. 18
IBEW_Sparky Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I fully agree with that statement. Id also like to add 74Gibson too that list. 10
