1thunder run:left the station started going up the chain lift when my restraint opened and that scared the living crap out of me but you wear seatbelts and a restraint so yeah i was scared and you get major airtime on that ride but i got my lap bar back down so i wasent scared anymore[xx(]
2scrambler at santa cruz: the restraint opened when the was ride operating yes i was scared to death i reached for the restraint and slammed it so hard it didnt open again until the ride stopped of course

My restraint completely loosened on my way up to the top of SFOT's Cliffhanger (or whatever it's called these days), an Intamin 1st generation freefall. It tightened back up before pushing out to the edge and dropping. Haven't ridden it since.

[hyyyper]

a cant recall any....only that you wait for to hours and then the coaster breaks down....

I have 2, not life threatening though;

1)I was on Shockwave (the stand-up at drayton manor), and idiot that i was back then, i was bouncing up and down in the adjustable seat when it locked, and i was about a foot of the floor, that hurt so much.

2)Robin Hood, SFH. I was sucking my stomach in just as the ride was rounding the first corner, i cant remember why, and the restraint locked down 3 pegs, and i could hardly breathe. Very uncomfortable.

Thats about it

1 at SFGAm viper the restraint didnt go down all the way and the ride opps didn't care (even though i had huge airtime) i haven't ridden it since!

1. Mamba (WoF) stuck at top of the 205 foot chain, that was a real drag.

2. Boomerang (WoF) stuck at top of lift b/c someones lap bars came loose so they had to come up and then try to fix it, took an hour, and we didnt even get to ride

3. Was on the train right before a person died on the old Orient Express (WoF)

4. Was on the break run on Timber Wolf (WoF) for around an hour due to a restraint problem.

5. Stuck on Batman: Knight Flight (GL) for 55 minutes b/c some stupid kid wanted to wear sandels, those ended up being caught in the floor.

6. Magnuum XL-200 held me hostage for two hours due to restraint problems. worst day of my life, i had a t-shirt, and it rained probably 3 inches in that time. it was so cold with all that rain, was probably in the 40's.

So heads up to anyone going to WoF, dont ride with me

When i was at IoA a few years ago, my dad and i got in the front seat of Hulk. The ride started normal, but as the train started to launch, you could tell that the force wasn't enough. Becuase we were in the front, we started to go into the first inversion, but we didn't have enough speed so we ended up speeding half way down the launch hill backwards befor we stoped. We were stuck up there for about 45 mins, befor the crew cam up to get us out of the cars. being the coaster geek that i am, i asked them if i could take some extra time to walk down, and they said yes! it was prety cool. come to find out later in the day, A few sections of Orlando had major blackouts (IoA being one of them). it was awesome! i would love to have that happen more offten to me!

I don't think I want to ride anything with you after reading all of that, lol...

i actually left out alot of non-ride related stuff that has happened to me there. i think god is telling me to stay away from WoF. But i dont listen to him cause that place is my place for REAL coasters...

My home park is a joke.
Dammit to hell to you Adventureland, build a freakin' coaster. its been 12 years since a real coaster here, common get an invert. get something :\
