M13KYF Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I heard the other day about the amount of stuff they had cleared out from underneath the ride. As well as countless amounts of change, mobile phones, purses, wallets, underwear and false teeth, they also discovered a false leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 yes i'm a bit of a coaster geek No doubt you will be there tomorrow for the closing ride then? Like the sound of them replacing it with another secret weapon. Loved air and oblivion when I went in the summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetZed Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't do coasters after being stuck upside down for 1/2hour on one in France, and I don't speak French so that didn't help! And before anyone tells me that if a coaster breaks it will always stop on a flat section I can confirm that's not true! Skydiving's fine though, I'll still do that!

tmJak Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I did Rita in the rain Only thing is tho, it makes the Zed's acceleration feel well tame! It's incredible how fast that thing goes. Went on a few times like a big kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
