Lap Bars Decaying?

No they're probably using a screw driver, a drill, and a cell phone like the mechanics off RCT. LOL.

I dont think there decaying I think people are just picking at them.

The little grab bars in on the back of the front row of seats seem to be occasionally replaced, so lapbars probably could be to. If any restraint padding in the park needs replaced, it would probably be 'JIM's seat on WT

Haha! I always sit in Jim's seat. That is classic; it shouldn't be replaced.

Wheres Jims seat and who is Jim?

well, I am not sure if anybody knows Jim, but his seat is on Wicked Twister near the back of the train (on the right side if I remember right)

While I didn't notice the decay on MF, I did notice it on Blue Streak on the very back seat on the left side where I could actually see some metal under padding. They really need taken care of more than any I've seen on MF, yet it still holds you in and doesn't hurt the ridder, its more just a visual thing.

Thats weird, because i worked Blue Streak this year. Can you recall Which train number you were on, because Train 2 had a new lap bar on the particular seat...I remember that because it was tight and gave us trouble at the beginning of the year..And to clarify, there is NO padding on Blue Streaks lap bars, they are hard and can be uncomfortable if you get stapled...so be nice to us ride ops...we like to staple stupid people

That must explain why I get stapled in all the time;).

The only thing i noticed on a lap bar i once had was some slight black stain which would probably be from all the hand and arm contact with the thousands of riders. I feel cedar point has good safety standards.

Jim's seat is 8-2
It's in the second to last row on the unload side

why is it jims? who is jim?

my first time on dragster, i sat down and strapped myself in noticing what the hell is wrong with the bar things, people ripped and mangled it and i thought to myself *haha...such wusses*... so then i get launched and what not and when the ride is finished...i noticed my fingers are latched and digging in to the bar like there is no tomorrow... *God i am the wuss* I didn't even noticed i was clawing at it.

Maybe people with sharp nails dig their nails into them and they become chewed up. I doubt anyone snacks on it while they're riding it.

Hey ever try them? They are good. AT SFFT poltergeist had a whole pad missing it was wierd. Yum rubber.

Yeah the ride ops walk under the ride after closing, they find sunglasses, hats, cameras, money, LAPBAR COVERS. :)

I wonder if anything is any good after falling 310 feet from the top of Millennium Force.

Its not 8-2, its 15-2 and that is the best seat

Ummmmm like everything.

Jim's Seat is a seat on Wicked Twister with "Jim" carved into the shoulder harness.

Why do you ruin the lap bars/OTSR?
