moore Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 We are going to PKI next Saturday and it will be so freakin awesome. Anyway, I'm riding with a friend that has only been to Holiday World. He has never riddin a looper so what should I start him off with? I figured FoF since it's not as rough and it does only have lap bars compared to Vortex's OTSRs. Do you think thats a smart move? I don't think the launch will bother him . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I think FOF because The Vortex is rough and will give you a headache all day. Or SOB. J/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Nah, just sit him/her/it in Face/off, and tell em that this is the worst type of ride ever made, and that IF they survive, you will take em on an actual looper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I took my little 11 year old sister to PKI last year and Face-Off was her first lopping coaster. She almost cried when going up the hill and screamed the whole way around, but when she got off she was no longer afraid of loopers. Since then she's ridden everything there and I took her to CP and she's mastered all of them babies too. Nothing like your first looping experience.

flightoffear1996 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Just start him out on whatever but don't force anyone on a ride no matter what. THis can cause major problems and even a death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCcatguy52 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 My first looper was the Raptor up at CP. Boy was that ride insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 ^That was my first looper too. The year it came out I figured it's probably the smoothest looper out there so I should break my teeth on that, and if I do that one I'll be able to ride anything. Of course it was perfect and I wasn't afraid of anything from then on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskin Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 My first looper was Face Off, i used to be so afraid of heights i wouldnt ride anything bigger then Adventure Express but one of my friends shoved me on drop zone and now i ride everything but im still scared of heights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
