Sit on outside of Raging Bull and when going down the drop, look over the side and straight down. Its a whole different feeling!

Have you ever noticed that lately your posts have been aimed at me lately? I haven't said anything to you first, though. I feel like I'm being followed by a gay. Oh, no! He's turning in DIKY! Just kidding. :lol: By the way, DIKY, are you engaged yet or still dating? :lol:
Wanna see? LOL


I guess, you'd be the target next. He and djvsuf have gotten sick of annoying me so you're next in line, I wonder who after you?

Anyway, I'll ocassionally leave a notch between me and the lapbar on Eagle or Viper if i'm feeling moronic. I've never done that on Bull, once on Spacely's, and once I didn't buckle my belt on Whizzer. I'm such a rebel. Seriously, people who try to get 2 click rides are usually idiots, unless you've ridden it 1,000 times, pull your lapbar/ OTSR down.

You just called ALOT of people idiots. Try having a looser ride, its more fun. Dont be scared.

Loose rides and shirtless rides are alot of fun. Thats my opinion, no I'm not a moron, and I'm sticking to it!

Ok, maybe you misinterpreted me. In my opinion, it's all right to leave a few notches between yourself and the ride itself. Just don't try 1 click rides on RB, Viper, etc.

It's not a matter of being scared, it's eventually going to be a matter of life or death.

I had a one-clicker on Bull once...rediculous. Fun, but I won't do it again. I usually just try for 3 or 4 so there's some space and it works out well. I know if I am going to fall out or not....plus that one click ride went down a couple more on its own right before the MCBR.

Heres a fun thing to do on a coaster. Dont buckle your seatbelt, sneak a screwdriver on board so you can unlock your harness, then stand up and see how long it takes before you fall overor your head gets chopped off! Oh man me and my friends do that all the time and boy do we have a laugh or too. Ahh good times....

Yea I def. would'nt try a one clicker on any of the rides. Thats just too loose. Thats when fun becomes stupidity.

I dont see how someone could get away with a one click on Bull anyway, whats your secret Evan?

Invert yourself out of the on-ride photo on Bull.

Scream random stuff on lift hills.

Or play Discovery Channel, and announce the whole ride, and say all the wrong element names.

one click on Bull is not possible, the train would not leave the station.

3 clicks is the absolute minimum, the ride computer does monitor that (and I always ride 3 clicks(not that I have much choice) :)

You need to sit in the back row for extra speed, and I think left side gets it pretty good.

Don't discuss how to take a one click ride here. It's stupid. You might feel like a macho enthusiasts but it's dangerous and selfish and stupid. If you fall out, you will die. Not only that, but the ride will most likely be closed for some amount of time which ruins the Six Flags experience for everyone. Oh, that isn't even counting the jobs you will cost (I'm assuming all the rideops will get fired for not checking restraints) and all the bad media you will bring to the park.

Think about that before doing something stupid on a rollercoaster.

I agree. I don't know why anyone would want to risk their life like that for a roller coaster... seems like a stupid, preventable way to die.

Just think of all the people (family, friends) in your life before you (no one specific) do something like that.

Remember, safety is a priority no matter who you are. Don't risk your life for a 2 minute thrill.
