This August when I went to CP I decided to finally ride Ripcord. THe only reason I hadn't in the past was because of the cost. For my family of four the entire cost was $75.00. First, my wife and two daughters rode it and then I rode it alone. While being strapped onto the ride the operator is giving me instructions and telling me not to use foul language blah, blah, blah... Well, once I'm raised to the top and the countdown was given I pulled my ripcord and the first words out of my mouth was "OH, S**T!". I din't mean to do it and it surprised me that I did. I just wasn't quite expecting the drop for whatever reason. After the initial drop it wasn't nearly as scary.
Anyways, Ripcord is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it.
You should try the 300 footer down in FL. It is mesmerizing. Oh, and by the way, go with someone else its a long, long, long way up.

I was planning on riding it on August 17 but the horrid weather shut the ride down for most of the day :(

Just can't justify the high cost, that and I don't get to CP often enough to mess around with that when there are roller coasters lurking nearbye
