screamingnight Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 I`m thinking about going on face/off. The thing I`m afraid of is that when you go up the hill you are pressed against the safety bar. I never been on face/off is this true that you are pressed against the bar? Is there any way to prevent this? Quote
athf_S3 Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 there is no way to prevent it that i know of Quote
screamingnight Posted August 7, 2005 Author Posted August 7, 2005 Well oh well thanks anyway! I`ll have to ride it sometime! How long is it when you go up the hill? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Well really it isnt that ad ut if you dont like it just ride going up the lift hill foward and you wont feel it for that tlong. Quote
screamingnight Posted August 8, 2005 Author Posted August 8, 2005 YEAH I THINK I`LL JUST RIDE IT FORWARD UP THE HILL AND COME BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL SO I CAN GET THE BACKWARDS OVER WITH! THANKS ALOT! Quote
Jasper Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 That is what i like about it. I just let go and let myself hang. Quote
gburn07 Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 I really dont think it hurts when you do get pressed against the restraint. That is one of the smoothest rides by means of no headbanging and the whole motion of going up the second hill. The chain catches the car smoothly, which results in very little jarring or being slammed against the restraint while facing down. Even with the hour wait it has most of the time, I still think its worth it. Quote
screamingnight Posted August 8, 2005 Author Posted August 8, 2005 Thanks guys u have been a big help! I`ll geuss I`ll get up my nerve and ride it! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, Face Off IMO, is one of the underrated rides at PKI. True its capacity is nothing to write home about. But the ride is in general a very smooth ride. The g forces on the ride are quite powerful. This ride doesn`t waste time with "cute" turns and little drops. It is all aboout the loops and the two hills that get the trains up to speed to clear the inversions. The ride is definantly a unique ride experience. Quote
gburn07 Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, to add about the gforces this thing has. I've been to the big daddy parks with the big rides (CP, G.Lake, Hershey, and i'll even throw Kennywood into it), and none of those rides has ever made me come near to blacking out like Face Off did. Dont be fooled by the small stats of this ride ( 48 mph, short ride time, three inversions), this thing packs one heck of a punch and was my biggest surprise at the park the first time I was there. Besides, watching the ride zoom over you really shortens the length of the wait Quote
Buckeye-Beast Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 One time last year, I thought I was going to black-out for a few seconds. Somewhere around the loop I started to get tunnel vision, it was a pretty cool sensation, and it hasn't happened since. Quote
ohioamusementparkzrule Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 I know i was feeling queezy and i finally noticed i was back in the station. Quote
