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.
