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.

Hahaha

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.

And it took a woman to say it

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

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.

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

I really do like the way your mind works
