Remember that thread I started

Yeah...well...it malfunctioned today. :) Left riders dangling at 900 feet for like 3 hours or some shit. lol...yeah...you'll never get me on that thing.

[Newton]

Can they sue? lol

They were some similar rides in a town near here, on the end of a pier .. they malfunctioned too , but threw the people inside a car straight into the sea. Its happened a few times now and one also had a rather unfortunate name .. Zyklon B, which was the gas the Nazi's used in the war on the Jews in the deathcamps, not the best of names for a ride.

[Nickatilynx]

Seriously I never go on those rides...

But it would be my luck "friends" would persuade me to go on it and that would happen.

Seriously I'd be a wreck when I came off

[JoesHO]

I knew it was bound to happen!!!!

[VooMan]

I saw on the news today that "coming up after the break" was something happening with the ride, but I had to leave and didn't feel I needed to know. LOL

I'll say it again. I love rollercoasters, but you will never EVER get me on that thing! :)

And for anyone standing outside the Stratosphere lobby at the time ... that was not rain that they felt. :unsure:

Hahaha :lol:

Why anyone would want to put themselves up there in the first place beats me.

I've got a major problem with heights :(

[TheEnforcer]

Depends on what kind of mood I'm in if I went on something like that. Most coasters aren't a problem at all but that's WAYYYYYY up there so that might be a bit different. I'm guessing I'd likely pass.

[Peaches]

Was anyone hurt? No. Did they all get at least a few free nights in Vegas? Yes.

Buncha wussies - all of you! :P

[ThrobX]

I think it was just a stunt to hype the ride and make it seem scarier.

You know how those Vegas types are. :okthumb:

:rokk: :rokk: :rokk:

And it took a woman to say it B)

I rode both the strato rides, about the only thing I have done in vegas besides gamble... The only time it kinda got me was the time I did it drunk mid-day lol ... The rest of the times were like stepping off the front porch you wussies :nyanya:

Oh that would be just entertaining as hell! Being stuck out there!

First thing you torque up all of your fellow riders by screaming like a little girl and yelling WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

After that gets old, you start saying "DID YOU FEEL IT SLIP?!?!? I FELT IT MOVE!"

Then you start bouncing up and down....maybe rock it for a little side to side action.

When you get a sufficient crowd built up on the street below you can either start up with the bodily functions or just dropping your pocket change, one coin at a time.

[Dravyk]

HP, you've given this way too much thought, me thinks! :rolleyes:
