New Seats

Yea... I wasn't a fan of the seats and new rules last year. I could ride Dragster alright, and I sat in the test seat for M.F., already have ridden M.F. 25+ times in my short life, and was told I could go. I waited an hour in line, and then sat down in the seat... and was told to leave because I couldn't get the extra inch of belt. Now, I know why we had to get the extra inch of belt, and it was really sad what happened, but the guy was a little weird I heard. Anyway, I hope they create a better system, and it it means putting Dragster style seats in, its alright with me.

I wouldn't get too overly excited for new seats. Word has it, it's not happenin'.

Well my suggestion is if they aren't going to do anything about the seats, do something with the belts. Extend the belts at least an inch. I know that suggestion sounds really dumb but at least people will be able to ride. I understand they did it because of safety but, the policy at times seems really harsh for those who are unable to ride or have come close to riding. I hope the rumor is true and they put new seats in anyway.

They're probably not going to do anything. I guess were just screwed.

Maybe instead of new seats, they'll get a sponsor.....similar to Nestea's sponsorship of Mill Race (or was it on WWL).....I suggest Slim Fast, it could be called the "SlimFast Dive"

LOL JuggaLotus!

"Millenium Force, the Y2k Friendly ride that's not friendly to most Americans... sponsored by Slim Fast. Go out and lose weight today.

Then come back here."

Hehe.

:-P

Yeah before you know it you'll have commercials almost like the Geico commercials.....lol.

The future is, you might be, riding on it.

Its funny, I had a dream the other night that MF got completely new trains, they sat 3 across and the seat belts were like Magnum's.

Ok ya'll. I worked on MF last year in '04 and if yu guys think that the 1 inch rule was tough on you guys try working while trying to do it. It wasnt easy. I got alot of **** for it and I was just trying to do my job. You would want the same respect at your job wouldnt you?

Just for those of you who want to guess what the trains would look like with Dragster style seats and head rests, I came up with this.

Wow, it sure is the off season. Good thing there's only 3 months left.

It tis, Vince982, it tis.

Why would they ever add those headrests?

They don't need new seast maybe if people just layed of the food a little bit they wouldnt have this problem.

I totally agree, CPfan200, but I think that was a little crude to say.

I think if we got new seats I'd be thrilled, but if we didn't I'd still love Millennium Force as much as I do now. Because I weigh like 140 pounds with a 33-32 inch waist and and can get the belt over. As long as I don't gain any weight in that area I'll be fine. I just want May to come because winter makes life boring in Ohio.

Extremely tasteless. The problem with the belts is that the whole weight issue is far too subjective. You don't necessarily have to have a huge gut in order to not fit. I've seen people who couldn't fit because of large thighs or even a large...erm...posterier. The point is that some people just naturally collect fat in certain areas of their body, not from overeating, but just naturally. To say that everyone is uniformally fat from overeating in general and thus cannot fit because of that is very rude and unthinking of you.

Personally, I believe that the trains SHOULD be retrofitted with new seats, new belts, what have you. Remember that the guy that got killed was 5'2 and weighed 290 pounds, obviously very disproportionate. People like that man still wouldn't be able to ride, but those that honestly should have been able to would get the chance to do so again.

It's less tasteless than your avatar.
