moore Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Since IJST is a family ride, will you have to have a kid with you to ride it? Surely not though...I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKlockster Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I would say thats a big negative. They say its going to be a level three - but I would think it would be upgraded to a level 4 - it is much more scary and extreme than Adventure Express. Speaking of which - do you need a kid to ride with you on Adventure Express? NO. So I highly doubt you would need a kid for IJST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI_Diana Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 That rule only exists in HB, where the rides have a height maximum, and then you need a smaller child to supervise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulliversrubadub Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Since IJST is a family ride, will you have to have a kid with you to ride it? Surely not though...I hope. Why would you need a kid to ride with you? Do you have to have a kid to ride The Beastie???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKlockster Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 There are five levels. I dont remember what they all are but here they are. Level 1 - Something Level 2 - Low Thrill Ride Level 3 - Mild Thrill Ride Level 4 - Intermediate Thrill Ride Level 5 - Extreme Thrill Ride They are on the fun and safety guides.

Alien Seed Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Level 4 is High Thrill Ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTR Guy Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 What are the different levels? 1-Mild Ride-This is a low speed rideintended for yuoung children and may accomadate chaparones 2-Mild Thrill Ride-Low to medium spped ride. Smooth tranistion whith some changes in elevation and speed, not intended for young children/ unacompannied toddlers 3-Intermediate Thrill Ride-Medium speed ride where riders may encounter changes in speed/ direction. 4-High Thrill Ride- Fast pace ride, changes in cpeed, direction and elevation, some of which may be unexpected. 5-Extreme Thrill Ride- High speed ride with turbulent turns and drops. Riders will encounter rapid changes in speed elevation, and elevation which are unexpected. And I don't think you have to have on on Beastie, but you do on Scooby Doo, I still haven't riden that darn thing, thats ok, I'll just jack some random kid walking through HB one day and gun for the ride.. You dont need to be with a child on scooby doo (if your talking about the Ghoster Coaster), but you do for Scooby Zoom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it been officially decided what the rating for IJ will be?] My mom felt guilty b/c she wouldn't ride ANYTHING with me so she said she would ride Runaway Reptar after she looked at it and made sure it wasn't that bad. We wals over there and she thinks for a while and finally says yes...well then we find out you have to have a kid so I was (I actually kinda wanted to ride it... ). She still felt bad so she rode FoF with me....that was really funny. She was really scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Seed Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Since when did you have to have a kid with you on Reptar. I rode without one. And IJST has a rating of 3 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think it's threads like these that give us all a big reality check. is that a good thing?? sorry some days i think im a blonde...... No, it isn't... truth be told this is probably the stupidest question I have ever heard. It's actually not that bad of a question. If it's a family ride, then a lot of parks will have height max/min requirements. Now, being familiar with the ride and how Paramount Parks operate, we know that it's very unlikely that they'll do something like that. Here's a related question for you: If this ride is supposed to be so family oriented, why is it based off of a movie that really isn't appropriate for younger children? It has a PG13 rating, so if you think about it, anyone who's old enough to see IJ is really old enough to ride pretty much anything in the park.

moore Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 I never thought about that....I guess it's maybe a family ride but with a more mature theme for the older family members....Like it's a ride that's not too intense for moms and dads to get scared, but it's not too "weak" for teens to turn down.

Gordon Bombay Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 IJST is going to have explosions and guns on it. Its based off a movie where they portray criminals and violence. I really seeing it getting bumbed up to a 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 "You dont need to be with a child on scooby doo (if your talking about the Ghoster Coaster), but you do for Scooby Zoom." You mean Top Cat's Taxi Jam. It hasn't been Scooby Zoom for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Foodguy Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I didn't know you didn't have a kid to ride sgc...looks like i'll be jumping on that next week. People are going to look at me funny, but its cool, its one of only 2 coasters I haven't ridden in the park counting IJST... Thanks for explaining the levels. Now...what do the different levels of associates mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PkiJake13 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yeah, I think it should really be a level 4 ride. -Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 well, it depends. the ride only goes 40 m/p/h, but it has explosions and it is based off of a mature themed movie. for me, its a coin toss on the rating dont bother riding sgc. it hurts just tryin to get into the car. that and it hurts the groin area on the brake run.

moore Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 i think they shoud think about the theme because it is part of the ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 The theme has nothing to do with the rating (1-5). The ratings deal with the intensity of the ride and the only reason why KI started doing that was so people could rate the ride and know which ride they may or may not ride. Besides, by the looks of things, you will be able to see the themeing of the ride w/o riding the ride it self. Plus, there is nothing in there that I personally think a younger kid cant see on regualr TV today. Just my opion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, let's not forget that more people were killed in The Incredibles than in The Italian Job. I wouldn't say the theme is too intense. Plus, PKI technically found a way around the whole criminal story theme. You're a stunt driver on the ride, not a criminal. The story of the movie is completely moot.
