Postby John Doe on January 29th, 2006, 5:23 pm
1. How much are 2006 season Passes?

2. The new owner Mark Shapiro or whatever, whats going to be different about sfgam? I know no smoking(thank god) but thats it.

3. Do you have to have a good upper body to ride V2 and DeJaVu?

1. http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatamer ... asses.html

Individual Season passes, $94.99 + Tax ea.
Family 4-Pack $84.99 + Tax ea.

2. More family oriented see this topic for more on what Shapiro thinks.

3. To ride Deja Vu or V2 etc you will need to have to be in good health in order to be able to ride. If you have had recent surgery/serious injury it is highly advised not to ride.

Never been on it, but I'd say no. Maybe when your facing down on the first tower.

$95 is the equivalent of around 2 visits to the park. It's not expensive at all. No, just because you are skinny, you will not have trouble riding rides.

My little brother is 12 and weighs about 100 lbs and his friend was even lighter and both rode with me on V2 and had no problem. However, I wouldn't let them ride on Deja Vu so I don't know about that one.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

no that won't affect you. The restraint will fit, and everything should be fine. Just don't be over 6'4,

Ok, On Vu, they have the orange seat belt that goes around your waist to hold your lower body in, you want that tight if you are afraid of falling out. Then the green harnesses, which are like BTR's but Vekoma style, but are they safe, I dont know, they are Vekoma. Though no one has gotten hurt yet from them, they seem rather safe, they have click lock along with the belt to keep it from flying up incase it does fail.

On V2, it is simple, they have a harness that snugs your legs to the seat, it is air-lock, so it can be locked at any position, these too have the seat belt to keep it from flying open (it is a standard for OTSRs). The left seat is deeper than the right seat so the bigger people can get in it better.

You should be fine on both, as long as you taller than the height minimum (54" on both) and shorter than the height maximum (76" on Vu and 80" on V2).

The new owner is Mark Shapiro? I thought it was Dan Snyder. Is this true? I didn't even know. Who do you like more, Shapiro or Snyder?

Dan Snyder/Red Zone LLC was largest stockholder. Not sure if that is still true. Mark Shapiro is CEO.
