Ricochet Riders

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

For the people that ride Ricochet this year, and other years, do the think the ride is having problems this year? I'm not saying that it doesn't work and brakes, but it doesn't seem to be typical Ricochet.

It seems about the same for me, granted I only rode it once last season and once this season, just to get on every ride.

Well it doesn't brake down for me. Come to think of it I have never been on a ride when it broke down. I guess the rides at sfgam love me. :D
I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.

I'm talking more about twitching, shaking, or jerky. It used to be more smooth. I could deal with it like that, but only time will tell until they need to redo something on it.

I haven't been on Ricochet this year so it might be different but from what I have seen it looks like the same ride as last year.

Aren't there any Ricochet lovers out there that go on it more than once a year? Maybe, I keep getting the same arm. :?

There's nothing different about the ride, I rode it on Monday and it seemed the same to me.

I used to ride it all the time in it's "Big Top" days, but ever since it became Richochet I rarely ride it.

I think its running fine, but i haven't been on it for a few months. But whenever i pass by it looks fine. I think that they should add tails to the cows. I think they used to.

When I rode it in the begining of the season, in the middle of the ride, My lapbar came up . I told the ride operator at the end. I dont know what she did about it.

I go on ricochet more than once a year.

I also go on Chubasco every visit.
And usually I never get dizzy. But when we spin that fast I can't walk straight.
