How did this become the puking post...wow. Disgustipating.

On that note, nothing bad has ever happened to me at SFGAm. The only bad part of was the ride into the park. That setup always makes me kinda nervous, because I know a lot of people out there kind of drive like morons. And I really like my car. And my life. And pumpkin pie.

Ahh the rain drop, the perfect aerodynamic shape. It is actually formed by the air around it.

Ya, I'd have to disagree on that on. I don't like puking, being puked on, seeing someone puke, or smelling puke.

But anyways, I haven't had that many interesting rides. I got stuck on the top of The Whizzer once, and that's about it. Oh yeah, and I went on Revy and it never started swinging. Ok, I'm done.
i'm rocking the suburbs, just like quiet riot did...

I can not puke on rides after i eat. I could eat all of Crazy Buffalo and go on raging bull 25 times and be fine. The only ride ive ever gotten sick to my stomach on, why idk, was East River Crawler.

I did get very light headed on Raging Bull once. I figured it was because I was dehydrated. So I had a large cup of delicious ice water when I got off and felt fine after that. :|

The only ride that gets to my stomach is Fiddlers Fling, but other than that I very rarely get sick on rides.

Moving on from sickness, I have gotton stuck on Whizzer a few times, and...hmm thats about it. Now that I have said that, my chances of getting stuck on somthing this year are huge lol :)

I used to think that until I had that Chubasco incident I mentioned earlier. That is still my only time puking, and that was more than enough for me. :D

You have to watch out for certain foods, obviously. Oily foods by themselves are by far the hardest to digest, so if you've only had a funnel cake and a coke all afternoon, chances are you'll want to keel over and barf.

Opening Day last year my cousin and I scarfed down huge funnel cake sundaes....then ran to Fiddler's Fling to test our nausia level....no pukage.....

So, we tried the same thing when we went to Magic Mountain. Got funnel cake, scarfed it down in less than ten minutes, and rode Viper. No pukage...but there was some upset stomachs....I still have a hard time looking at funnel cake......sweet....delicious funnel cake......

Lets see, I've got a few

There was this time I was getting ready to race this kid to Raging Bull at the begining of the day and his Dad was like "Ready, Set GO!" Before the chain drop happened and we both took off running and the sup doing chain drop nearly ate me.

Then there was the time I was on SUF and it stalled going out of the station which turned into a 3 hour problem for the ride. I was in the last seat of the last row which resulted in me waiting for around 40 minutes in the "prone" position. When I got off I immediatly collapsed.

EDIT: How can I forget that one time when Papas broke the rules and said "100% committed to your w00dland time"

And I don't really get sick on anything but slow spinning rides. I can handle Fiddler's Fling no problem, but for some reason BEB and Whirligig suck.

so if you've only had a funnel cake and a coke all afternoon, chances are you'll want to keel over and barf.


No way, all I eat in the park are funnel cakes and I'm always fine.

I've never had any problems at Great America. In fact, I've never had any problems at any theme park. The only "problem" I've ever had was when we got stuck on Primevil Whirl at Animal Kingdom and thats it.

I don't puke on rides either, even if I just ate. On opening day 2 years ago (2004) I ate a regular mooseburger with fries and a drink and went on V2 right after (and that was my very first time going on V2 so I was scared and full. I still didn't puke though).
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

Stories huh?......I got stuck in Vipers station for 10 minutes.

Oh, heres a good one. I didnt go to the park in 2004 for some odd reason. So its July 2005 and its the day before I go to SFGAm (which is the only day I went to the park last year). Im all pumped up to ride V2 for the first time in 3 years. The next day Im all excited, I get to the park and theres that familiar sign I just love.........Rides not operating today: V2. :cry:

I've had funnel cakes before rides and I had no problem...

I only get sick on carnival rides. That is if I eat before. Even if I don't eat, after like 10 rides I can still feel queesy. But it really sucks because I get hungry when I'm there, and I can't really eat til we leave.

Um, this is more annoying than interesting... but I was stuck on SUF next to a girl who screamed through every damn part of the ride. Even the lift and the brakes. My ear was ringing after that. Plus we got stuck waiting on the brakes for about 5 minutes. Someone told her to shut up and she actually did if I remember correctly.

Also one time on Eagle a guy was talking on his cell phone the whole ride.

I'm sure that happens a lot. He was probably telling his mom how cool he is. :lol:

Oh yeah, another one. While at IB, on Hoosier Hurricane, my seatbelt somehow came undone at the top. If I hadn't buckled it in time, I would have been gone probably.

Not until the second drop. Believe it or not, this was actually one part of a physics project I did this year. You'd fall from rest (the top of the lift) and accelerate at the same rate of acceleration as the train. When you got to the second hill, the train would rapidly descend once it reaches the crest because it follows the track. You, on the other hand, would continue in a straight line (due to intertia), similar to the unbuckled test dummies they put in cars and ram 35 mph at a solid wall.

^That's interesting and slightly comforting.

I just remembered a couple more. There was one time, me and this girl were in line for Orbit and this guy came up drunk and eating plain Nacho Cheese with his finger and asked the ride op if he could eat it on the ride. I think the ride op realized he was drunk, so his response was "your not even capable of being on the ride" and asked the guy to leave. I thought it was kind of funny, especially because the guy ran into a rail on the way out of line. :lol:

Also, I always seem to say something stupid on each of my trips too. There was one time where me and the same girl were walking down the exit line to Viper and we were naming songs from back in the day and I said "Baby got back" and next thing I noticed, the lady in front of me turned around and said "Thank you sugar" and winked at me. :oops:
