How many shirts are they giving out? Wait a minute, it's be there since 1923. That ride was disappointing. I was expecting Big Dipper type of a ride. Quote

kjkjkj Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 If you wear flip-flop to the park and go on Firehawk, and rent a locker, can you go on Firehawk with no shoes? I know you can ride Firehawk with flip-flops, but I don't want to deal with the hassle of trying to keep them on. Quote
Delirium_Guy Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 If you wear flip-flop to the park and go on Firehawk, and rent a locker, can you go on Firehawk with no shoes? I know you can ride Firehawk with flip-flops, but I don't want to deal with the hassle of trying to keep them on. If I have understood them correctly during my rides, shoes must be worn at ALL times. So renting a locker for your flip flops isn't an option. Honestly, its not really much of a hassle keeping them on. You do have a floor, afterall. I've worn mine every ride. - Todd Quote
