Any of you going to be scared to ride.....

Yeah and many kids are afraid of opening there closet because they have seen movies with a load of crap. I think it could affect the people that are on the border of riding a coaster for the first time or saying no because of what they have seen in the movies.

But it's a minority mainly because this will have no affect on people that have been on coasters before. Maybe a little thing in the back of your head might pop up and scare you, but thats all apart of the fun. :)

I am thinking the only people who may be affected by the movie would be younger kids. Not sure of the rating of FD 3 but would assume not many younger kids would be seeing it?

There was a movie several years ago called "Roller Coaster" about some loonatic who placed a bomb on a coaster. VERY far fetched NO way would anyone beable to get away with what he did.
I am sure no one balked at riding a coaster after that movie!!

As a former (Raptor :)) ride op I can tell you the safety standards built into EVERY ride explains why there are very few accidents vs. the number of riders these rides handle on a daily basis.

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that?

I saw the movie poster outside a theater here last week. Cheesy looking movie, but pretty cool poster.

I'll still ride rides after I see it because I dont believe Cedar Point would build anything unless they knew it was going to be safe.

I saw a preview for it tonight when I saw Just Friends (quality funny movie). I will probably see it when it comes out, but it looks like New Line Cinemas have gone a bit too far.

EDIT: I believe it was called Screamer while at Boblo, but is now called Corkscrew at Playland amusement park in British Columbia.

It is a coaster that used to be at Boblo Island (an old amusement park that was located in the Detroit River between Windsor and Detroit) which has been relocated to another park. I don't remember the specifics, but it is somewhere around here.

It was like a cookie cutter of the first and second. The whole plot went too fast.

The airplane and highway openings from the first two movies were fairly unnerving, but the opening on this one was just too farfetched to even be frightening. I honestly don't see this movie making anyone not want to ride a coaster...


Cedar Point rocks my socks.
