gforce1994 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 While at Winterfest today, I saw there’s a new rule at Woodstock Gliders. I did not see if it may be applied at other rides. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfestguy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Might make sense for a small child to be paired with another small child but there is no way two single 200 pound guys would fit in one glider. I cannot see one adult ever being paired as there is little seat belt slack left, even if the operator tried squeeze play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may fit if they make them sit TETRIS style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicescoot Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 This is actually already a thing on a couple of the other rides in Planet Snoopy. Off the top of my head I can think of Peanuts 500, flying ace, and Linus launcher. Its not really a hard rule for some of these rides as some kids just flat out won't ride with others but ride ops try to do it if they can. It's mainly enforced at Peanuts 500 because it has such a low capacity (around 50 cars per hour) so its very important to pair up riders if the line is even somewhat long Personally I think it may be kind of weird for Woodstock Gliders since only one person controls the fin. If its two kids then it may not be bad but it may be pretty awkward if its two random teenagers or adults I also have a feeling that this is just for winterfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I agree with not applying this to random strangers. However, I have often been in line and witnessed a group of 4 kids/teenagers who are clearly together, but then each take an individual glider on the ride. When that happens, capacity is absolutely crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super7 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 That ride has such bad capacity that they should have twin rides. The child proof belts don’t help the capacity either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph88 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 There's an actual weight limit posted at the gliders. Unless they just plan to turn adults away, I don't know how they plan to enforce this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5IsAlive Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I like the policy because the kids won't have to be sad riding by themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
