Hi Charles, My Niece and other students got to go for a ride on the vomit comet. She said that she and a friend were playing with water in zero gravity.

It is at the top of a 700 foot deep canyon with a river at the bottom. You and another person sit in a pair of connected seats side by side, which are at the top of one edge of the canyon. You are only held in by a very thin harness. They then remove the floor from beneath you both and slowly tilt your seats down so you are now facing straight down the canyon wall, and you are only held in at this point, by your harness. I love these sorts of rides and trust me, it is pretty scary at this point, even if you cannot see. ;) Finally they count down from three to 1 and release you. You fall straight down the canyon wall and swing out to the center of the canyon and onward toward the other side. You then begin to drift into a spin and swing backward toward the canyon wall where you started and so on. The seats swing on a single cable, so you continue to spin as you swing. The zero G is like nothing I've experienced so far and I have gone on every zero G ride I can find. :) Once the ride calms down, it is actually amazingly graceful and beautiful. It's like you are flying and gently twirling in a dream. You are basically out in close to complete nothingness. It's also really cool as you can hear the river a long way off below you. It is about 2 or 3 hundred feet below you and you can hear it flowing as you swing above it. It is awesome! :) There is also a ride in Vegas which I plan on trying which has you jump off of a platform 850 feet above the ground. You are in a harness and jump straight down the side of the stratosphere. So it's like BASE jumping or bungee jumping on steroids. :) You go all the way to the ground so it is quite a lot of zero G. I'm looking forward to it!

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
If anyone lives in the area but hasn't been there, head over to the Lagoon amusement park in Utah. There's a particular rollercoaster there called the Wicked, a name which I can assure you is quite appropriate. Go on it at least once just for the experience. I can almost guarantee your legs will be jelly for a considerable little while after you get off and you'll probably need to find a place to sit and pull yourself together. I went there with my ex girlfriend Sandra once very early in our relationship. It was a fun experience but I don't know that I'd care to repeat it. Imagine putting a ride like that in Park Boss. LOL.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
For anyone whom might be interested, the ride in Vegas I mentioned, is called the Sky Jump. I've pasted below, the FAQ (which is pretty funny) :) and here is the linkie to the official site. http://www.skyjumplasvegas.com And now the FAQ! :) Cheers! Cara What weather conditions will shut down the ride? Ride will close due to inclement weather. SkyJump cannot operate during winds over 44 miles per hour, or other extreme conditions like heavy rain and lightning. Fortunately, this is Las Vegas & it's usually hot and sunny. Where's the best place for my friends/family to watch me from? That entirely depends whether your friends prefer the bottom or the top. There is a more-than-adequate viewing area in the SkyJump landing area, located off the SkyJump store. Viewers will watch skyjumpers from below in the open air as they tumble towards the earth. There is also a big screen television located in the SkyJump store, broadcasting the big jump live. Those who prefer to get a bird's eye view and aren't afraid of heights may enjoy watching the jump from the 108th floor, inside the Tower glass. Is there a secure place to put my personal items while I jump? Yes, skyjumpers will have access to their own personal locker, with a key. Is there a bar nearby? Of course. We wouldn't expect you to contemplate a 108-story jump without the aid of some liquid courage. Air Bar on Level 108 is the highest bar in Las Vegas, and the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail or beer while you check out spectacular views of Sin City day or night. What is the entourage ticket? If a member of your group purchases a jump, you will be given an entourage ticket which you can take to the Ticketing Center. You will be able to purchase Tower tickets at $7 each, for up to 4 people. Tower admission is normally $20 for adults, $10 for children, and $12 for seniors or Nevada residents. Group discounts may be available. Do you have a special "locals" price? Yes, locals can jump for $99.99. There is also a "locals" price for Tower Admission. What exactly is SkyJump? It's the only sky jump in North America and the highest in the world. SkyJump is a controlled descent, similar to a vertical zip line. The launching pad is located on the 108th floor of Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower in Las Vegas, 855 feet above the Las Vegas Strip. Jumpers are harnessed in and attached to a cable that is connected to a descender machine. Guide wires keep the skyjumper on course and on target. Just before reaching the rapidly approaching ground, the skyjumper is slowed down for a controlled and safe landing. How safe is it? Very safe. But not soo safe that it isn't still a thrill. Where's the fun in that? New Zealand has been operating SkyJump for more than 10 years without injury. Before jumping, the skyjumper will receive a short safety lesson from an extensively trained Jump Master. How many riders? SkyJump Las Vegas is a solo affair. It's limited to one skyjumper at a time. What do my friends do while I'm getting ready to jump? Point and laugh. Whisper behind your back. Say their final goodbyes. Kidding! Your friends will be plenty entertained as they peruse the SkyJump store and purchase your fresh pair of underwear and other SkyJump trinkets. They can also pass the time enjoying the multiple other attractions in the Stratosphere Tower or by uploading embarrassing photos of you in your SkyJump jump suit to Facebook. What if I want to do it again? You will want to do it again. And you can, for $59.99, if you stay suited up and jump the same day or purchase the re-jump while purchasing the first jump. Or you can invest in a SkyJump package including a video of the jump, so you can relive the experience again and again. How much time should I budget? Between being suited up, taking the sweat-inducing ride to the 108th floor, undergoing multiple safety checks, standing on the ledge of the Tower and taking the 855-foot plunge, the experience totals about 35 to 45 minutes. Is it scary? You're about to jump off the 108th floor of a building and fall 855 feet at a scream-inducing speed! What do you think? What else is there to do in the tower other than SkyJump? The Stratosphere Tower is the tallest observation tower in the U.S. and one of the most exciting attractions among Vegas Strip hotels with thrills you can't find anywhere else, including international shops and one-of-a-kind rides, like Big Shot, X-Scream and Insanity, the Ride. There are plenty of places to grab a drink, including Air Bar on Level 108 and Level 107 Lounge. There's an award-winning restaurant, Top Of The World, and an international marketplace, the Tower Shops. The Observation Deck was voted year after year as "The Best Place To View Las Vegas" by the Review Journal. What if I chicken out after I've already paid? Well, apart from embarking on a humiliating walk of shame past multiple leering tourists and all of your friends who are shouting chic

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
There is a ride I just went on last month on Pikes Peak, called The Terror-dactyl. It is at the top of a 700 foot deep canyon with a river at the bottom. You and another person sit in a pair of connected seats side by side, which are at the top of one edge of the canyon. You are only held in by a very thin harness. They then remove the floor from beneath you both and slowly tilt your seats down so you are now facing straight down the canyon wall, and you are only held in at this point, by your harness. I love these sorts of rides and trust me, it is pretty scary at this point, even if you cannot see. ;) Finally they count down from three to 1 and release you. You fall straight down the canyon wall and swing out to the center of the canyon and onward toward the other side. You then begin to drift into a spin and swing backward toward the canyon wall where you started and so on. The seats swing on a single cable, so you continue to spin as you swing. The zero G is like nothing I've experienced so far and I have gone on every zero G ride I can find. :) Once the ride calms down, it is actually amazingly graceful and beautiful. It's like you are flying and gently twirling in a dream. You are basically out in close to complete nothingness. It's also really cool as you can hear the river a long way off below you. It is about 2 or 3 hundred feet below you and you can hear it flowing as you swing above it. It is awesome! :) There is also a ride in Vegas which I plan on trying which has you jump off of a platform 850 feet above the ground. You are in a harness and jump straight down the side of the stratosphere. So it's like BASE jumping or bungee jumping on steroids. :) You go all the way to the ground so it is quite a lot of zero G. I'm looking forward to it!

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember
There is an amusement park right across the street from MetroCenter in north Phoenix. Their best coaster is a double looping coaster that has a unique feature. As you're at the top of a hill, the coaster leans to one side or the other. Then, at a slant, it takes off down the hill, through the curves, and through a loop. Then the process repeats, but the second loop is higher. A good ride, but too short. Their other coaster is more of a family coaster that goes through sort of a figure 8 track that has hills and turns, and it runs the track twice before stopping at the loading station. --- Be positive!

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestionfor park boss
Hi Charles, I agree, coasters are the best, even though some other rides are fun. I believe that one of the newer coasters at Cedar Point goes out over Lake Erie. Since it is newer I have not experienced it visually and thus don't know if it looks like you are going to end up in the lake or not. Things like that are fun though. BFN - Original Message - While other rides are fun, my favorites are the roller coasters. The best old wooden coaster used to be at The Pike in Long Beach, California. On one of the curves at the bottom of a really big hill, you went out over the ocean, and it looked like you were going to go right into it! You can find info about this coaster on YouTube, but I remember riding it when I was young. The only way we could get Dad to go on it was to get him a drink first, and he usually wasn't a chicken. Mom was, though. She said we were nuts to ride that thing.

Hi Danielle, Thanks, how could I have forgotten the Blue Streak. Great old wooden coaster. Another great old coaster even though it is not wooden is the Gemini coaster or coasters.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
Dollywood in East Tennessee built a wooden coaster in the last ten years. I think it is called Thunder Alley. Dollywood is up in some hollows in the mountains of East Tennessee and they expanded into a new hollow to build Thunder Alley. the next year they built Timber Tower which is similar to one of those swing rides but when the swings got up to the top of the post the post started pivoting. So the swings started swinging vertical and one would feel like they might hit the ground. When I heard of this I thought there would be too much that could go wrong with this ride with all the forces being put on the different parts of this ride. they had all kinds of trouble keeping it going and did shut it down and dismantled it after that year. Oh, I almost forgot they built an in the dark coaster which was to be a ride through coal mines. A couple of years ago in their water park they built a water coaster. Groups sit front to back in foam rafts and are shot up hill by the force of water then fall downhill into ponds. An old ride they have in the regular park is similar to this called the Slidewinder. they weigh a group to put into a foam raft and sit front to back. There are no seatbelts but ropes to hold on to. You start at the top of the hill and ride down a chute that zig zags down the mountain. You then go through a tunnel then down a steep hill into water to end the ride. then you have to hike back up the mountain to ride again.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember
Hi Nicol, Yes, we have the swings here in the States as well. Usually they are a popular feature at carnivals and fairs. Although, I can not honestly remember if Cedar Point and King's Island have them or not. ' In any case I agree that it can be dangerous and unsafe is someone kicks the swing you are sitting on because if they are like the ones I have ridden on there are no safety belts to hold you in place. Even if safety belts and harnesses are used kicking the swing to cause it to go out of control should warrant the person doing so being immediately removed from the ride and barred from the park. Doing so shows an absolute lack of maturity, concern for the safety of others, and the person who does something like that is a jerk to put it politely. Park security should be informed and their butts should be made to answer for that kind of bullying behavior.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember
HI Jim and tom The rides you mention sound interesting. Yes tom the sling slong is almost like the demon drop but on the sling slong, if memory serves, the people is fastened to it. They lie on a matrass. They don't stand. Then the sling slong moves upwards gradually but then it drops down suddenly. Oh yes, now I remember another ride I went on; not only at ratanga junction but also at shows when I was a kid. I'm talking of shows like shows where there are different stalls such as food stalls and clothes stalls. So its not a show like a concert show but a show consisting of many stalls. Anyway, a ride I remember from my childhood days is swings. They look like the normal swings at parks but those swings does not go up and down. They go round and round. When the swing starts, it rises a short distance into the air and then it goes round and round. What I didn't like about the swing rides, is that sometimes a person sitting on a nearby swing tries to be funny and kicks the swing I'm sitting on and then my swing would go wild. I think its unsafe if people kick other people's swings.

It has been called the best roller coaster park in the world for years. I love roller coasters. The faster and more times upside down the better. But an old rickety wooden roller coaster is scarry fun as well. And one thing about ones like the raptor where you are sitting with your feet dangling in the air, is that the seat in front of you blocks the air. So I also like ones that go fast but you get all of the air in your face. More scarry for me is slow high rides like double fairiswheels and the ones that hang from a cable. They just give you too much time to think about how high you are etc. And then the person riding with you likes to rock the thing to make it even more scarry.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
Hi Nicol, The Monkey Falls ride is commonly what we call a log ride here in the States. I have ridden on several of those, and I always enjoy those. Especially the part where the log you are riding in splashes down into the pool or lake at the end of the ride. Your Sling Slong ride reminds me of the Demon Drop at Cedar Point. The Demon Drop is basically a tall black tower with a car that holds three people. They get in, stand up in the car, and then it goes way up into the air. All of a sudden it just drops straight down. Definitely don't even think about eating lunch before taking that ride because you'll get the worst case of vertigo of your life. As for the Cobra we have some coasters here at Cedar Point and King's island that make it seem small, but all the same being suspended upside down 32 meters in the air is way up there. That is one really big loop. Just be glad you aren't sighted and aren't forced to look down while zipping along upside down in the air as that is really darn scary. Not for the faint of heart.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember
Hi Nicol, I have been to Cedar Point many times. It has been called the best roller coaster park in the world for years. I love roller coasters. The faster and more times upside down the better. But an old rickety wooden roller coaster is scarry fun as well. And one thing about ones like the raptor where you are sitting with your feet dangling in the air, is that the seat in front of you blocks the air. So I also like ones that go fast but you get all of the air in your face. More scarry for me is slow high rides like double fairiswheels and the ones that hang from a cable. They just give you too much time to think about how high you are etc. And then the person riding with you likes to rock the thing to make it even more scarry. BFN Jim You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
I have been to ratanga junction once thus far. They also have both kid rides and adult rides. And I went on a ride called monkey falls. Its basically a little car in the shape of a tre log. Thrice during the ride, the ride goes up a steep ramp and then with a great speed comes down. And then going down the last ramp, everyone is splashed with water. And then ratanga junction also have a ride called the cobra. It's a looper coaster, not a roller coaster. I didn't go on it as I'm too scared of rides going up side down. But from what I have read on ratanga junction's website, this ride goes 32 metres in to the air and then goes up side down. And then another ride I remember but I am too scared to go on it. Its called sling slong if I remember correctly. At ratanga junction people also pays an entrance fee and then all the rides except for sling slong is free. Sling slong costs 30 rand if memory serves. This ride starts off by slowly ascending 33 metres. And then a button is pressed and the ride falls to the ground. i.e the ride does not travel downwards, it literally falls down. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: 05 October 2014 03:16 AM To: Dean Masters; Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss When I was a kid, there was a ride I loved!

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
Hi Charles, Interesting. Never heard of a coaster like that one. Sounds fun. I myself was never much into roller-coasters, but I do remember this jungle/safari coaster I believe it was called the Jaguar or something like that. Basically, all the cars looked like jungle cats, and as you rode along all the scenery looked like you were inside a jungle. Pretty cool ride aside from the fact I was sicker than a dog after getting on it. On 10/4/14, Charles Rivard wrote: > When I was a kid, there was a ride I loved!

When I was a kid, there was a ride I loved! It was a circular track with a single ramp. When the coaster hit the ramp, it would sail through the air until it landed back on the track. It started slow, but the faster it went, the farther it flew before landing and continuing around the track to the ramp again. It was called the flying coaster. --- Be positive!

You sit out kind of on a wing so that there is no platform under your feet. And you do the loops, etc. so it feels like you are flying like an eagle. This year they added one with a fire engine theme which is suitalble for all ages. You rush forward and up an incline then run down that same track backward.

Not unless they were intentionally trying to bring attention to various scandals which wouldn't exactly be a good idea commercially. Especially, trying to explain it to kids. Cheers!

Plus it would allow someone to actually build certain theme parks like Six Flags, King's Island, etc since they could use their rides as a template for a successful virtual theme park. I'd love to be able to manage such popular rides as Magnum Force and the Beast. Cheers!
