That's good. Roller coasters are a nice thing to have access to - an American tradition.kurt culler wrote:I was out in LA two years ago when I went to te San Diego Comic Con.

Oh Christ, you should see the ones they have down here. They look like something out of a Tim Burton film. I kid you not.derangeddm wrote:That's good.

I had a wonderful time in Long Beach at the Wizard Con, although that city seems to be in a state of transformation.

I was actually thinking of the rides in Guatemala as being just as safe as the rides in a Tim Burton film would be. Can you imagine... Nightmare Before Your Ride Is Over. The Become a Corpse Bride honeymoon coaster.derangeddm wrote:Oh, pish-tosh. Magic Mountain only manages to kill off a dozen or two people a year. Nothing worth mentioning whatsoever...kurt culler wrote:and probably just as safe.

Six Flags Magic Mountain is a fairly safe amusement park, but not up to Disney's standards. A large number of my friends locally worked there as teenagers, so I got much more information than I would normally be comfortable with. Same-same with having worked in a bank call center. Sometimes ignorance is bliss...fluffy wrote:I've been on Magic Mountain! It seemed perfectly safe!
I went to King's Island in Ohio once and their stand up roller coaster was closed because someone had goten out of the restraints, fallen and died the previous day. Talk about inspiring confidence. magic Mountain wa sokay, but I remember one of the employees using the scare tactic of telling us about the person who leaned out too far with their arms out and lost an arm.

Jennifer I haven't been on one for so long I'm not sure what my body would do. I vaguely remembering throwing up after being on a Gyroscope ride once.jennifer stambersky wrote:the last time i rode a roller coster i was 18 and i almost had a real heart attack...i have never even thought of going on one since...though i would not qualify anyhow being that i have a bad heart now
It's like Kurt said about the roller coaster rides down here. They look like Edward Scissorshands made them. There's no way I'd get on one.
