Rip Cord

My dad and I are planning to experience RipCord for the first time(on June 2).
Can anyone post their experiences so I can know what to expect?

If your going on Rip Cord go with 3 people becasue it's cheaper the more people you have. The price they charge for one person just isn't worth it. Not to mention the cost for getting the video you will most likely look at for awhile and ditch it somewhere to gather dust.

After 289+ filghts (for some reason I stopped counting at 289), it just isn't what it used to be - especially since I rode the one in Florida that is twice the size of CP's. But I will tell you the story of my first flight...
When I was hired for RipCord in 1997, I had no clue what it was - I hadn't been to CP since 1995 and RipCord was built in 1996. I refused to fly for three days. Finally, my team leaders got tired of me dodging them. They had 5 or 6 people gang up on me, force me into a flight suit, and physically carry me out to the flight line. I cried the whole time! I got off and realized how fun it was, the rest is history.....

I'm sure MF will scare me a lot more than RipCord did!

Doubt it for me. I'm predicting MF will still be a joke compared to my RipCord flights. For some reason, the freefall feels twice as real on RipCord than on any other ride. IT REALLY DOES LOOK AND FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO HIT THE GROUND!!! There's nothing like it. MF can't come close to that feeling of NOTHING but air resistance slowing you down. No wheels, no track, no nothing! It's awesome!!!

Even though I was absolutely terrified, I loved RipCord, I hope to go on it again and would go on it again in a second.
