Zil posted:AnalTech? Who thought that was a good idea? However, the spokesperson admitted that "AnalTech faces certain challenges because of the 'juvenile' humor that has developed in the past few decades and current web filters that may block the company name" and has considered rebranding as a result. That whole article was a laugh riot. Its like a Onion article back when it was still funny.

FCKGW posted:wtf why are they moving it did they think the area was haunted or something? People kept asking about the bloodstains, and it was easier to just move the ride to cover them than keep making up stories about Hawaiian Punch vomit or brown paint or whatever.

A lot of rollercoasters (specifically wooden) are made in a way that, not only are you afraid of the speed/heights, will instill fear that it could fall apart at any moment. I don't know if the carnival rides are created with that thought in mind or not.

I've never heard of a gravitron murking someone. Are you sure you're not thinking of a sizzler? Example. http://articles.courant.com/1999-08-22/news/9908220025_1_richard-bisi-ride-attendant Edit: I may be thinking of another incident, the article calls it a tornado, which is not the whirring implement of death I remember.

I was at an amusement park when some dude got run over by one of those mini-coasters that just go around and around an inverted loop. Didn't see that actual strike, but I was still only about 30 feet away at the time, and the aftermath was pretty brutal. Maybe amusement parts should stop hiring bored, poorly trained teens to operate their rides.

Zesty posted:That's the idea, right? Isn't that what makes amusement park rides thrilling? Oh sure for most folks, but for me the feeling of not being in control gives me major anxiety. I'm a bad car passenger at the best of times but put me on a track in a 500bhp sports car and I'm fearless.* Legit the most scared I've ever been was when I rode this drop tower, which at the time was the tallest in Europe. I only went on it because I'd had a few beers and was trying to sex the girl I was with. I could feel myself sobering up as we ascended and to this day I am astounded by the fact I did not void my bowels. *to the point where I run out of talent and am no longer in control.

In the UK, there's 2 kinds of fairgrounds/carnivals. The first is ones in a set location that'll always be there, like Pleasurewood Hills or Alton Towers. Then there's these fuckers.  They'll roll up for an event one weekend, then afterwards they'll all be gone within an hour. I trust em as much as you would if they dealt with second hand cars. [edit] They're probably very nice people that dedicate many hours to regular safety and maintenance. Ak Gara fucked around with this message at 17:20 on May 26, 2017 |
