Coasters and Thrill Rides

That whole tower would shake with each loop. Short as hell ride, but a cult coaster
Got thrown off the White Water Canyon cuz my ahole buddy jumped out of line to climb a fence and get a coke. He comes back and I can see the dudes in security pointing at us. We got to the front and were asked to leave the ride.
Haven't been to KI in many moons. But I always liked The Beast.
Oldest kid is finally old enough to ride bigger rides. We recently rode Mako, Kraken & Manta at Sea World in Orlando. All three are great rides.
Of those 3...I liked Mako the best…about a 200' drop right out of the gate and top speed of about 75mph. Also, you don't have any shoulder restraints on this one…just a lap restraint…and your feet don't touch the floor. Several spots on that ride where you feel like you are free falling or suspended in the air. Pretty cool ride.

Had a buddy get kicked off that one,too. He jumped out on one of the little character islands. Surprised he wasn't arrested
Sounds like some of my buddies lol.
Rumor is someone once hung themselves in there and the ride was evacuated and closed down a couple days. They say the dolls move and change places over night. Idk Creepy ish in there man.

I'm calling BS on that one, my wildcat friend.
Disney security don't eff around. Especially when it comes to THAT particular ride. If your "buddy" had actually done what you said he did...then a security guard midget dressed as a doll from one of those countries would have jumped out from a trap door hidden in one of those walls and dragged your "buddy" behind the wall before you even knew what was happening. And then they would have promptly "United Airlines-ed" his *** off the premises. Probably even feed him to the gators or pigs or whatever the eff they hide behind those walls.
You just don't eff around in "Its a Small World" and then live to tell about it. That place and those dolls may be creepy…but that is sacred ground. Common knowledge.
They ran his balls through a wine press and fed them to a clown that looked like Colonel Sanders.
I probably saved a girls life back in the day on the Wabash Cannonball at Opryland. As we were going up the initial incline she was pushing on the over the shoulder harness when it came loose and opened over half way. She panicked, I panicked but I reached across and held the harness in place for the entire ride. If I had been older than 12 I might have made a move after such a display of wit and courage, ah what could have been.
When I was 8 I spent the summer in California (LA/San Diego area) because my mom was a teacher and my dad went out there to work for my great uncle running cable TV lines. We spent weekends at Sea World, Disneyland, and Knott's Berry Farm. Good memories.
Dude in the Navy had some Usain Bolt speed closing on that cart. It's like fast forward.
Screamin' Demon right?The only one I've been to in the last 20 years is Kings Island so it will all be there. I really like the Firehawk now but I know a couple of people that don't like it and I get it. For those that haven't ridden it, the first thing they do is lay you on your back and it keeps flipping you from your back to your stomach. Very disorienting and it's really freaky when you are on your stomach. Oldie but goodie has to be the Beast. I'm prejudice since it opened at the same time as I got big enough to ride roller coasters.
I did not enjoy waiting in line 3 hours for this. Yes, it is just one loop. First ever though I believe.
The Screamin' Demon got moved to Camden Park in the late 80s and renamed the Thunderbolt Express. I was around 8 or 9 at the time and we went to Camden Park every summer it seemed. I never did ride it though. Scared to death of the loop and the fact that it also went backward. Plus the lines were so long for that thing you could ride the Big Dipper 10 times. Here's the Screamin' Demon in all its patriotic glory as the Thunderbolt Express:
Welp according to him it happened. Dude was nuts. Got kicked out of everything. Museums, planetariums, movie theaters. Always pulling crap. Dude sat down at a Cracker Barrel once and ate off some strangers plate. Just nuts
