Rollbacks

Wally world har har har.

I got 3 in a row on closing weekend this year. My friend and i were in front with another one of my friends behind me after it stopped hailing, they launched us 3 times in a rown with no avail to get us over. They just kicked us off thought :-( , i wish i could have stayed on.

I couldn't feel my face after riding Millennium in light rain and when I rode Dragster in the rain, my whole face was beat red from the barrage of rain pellets....not to mention all the rain that went up my nose going up the tower.

So yeah I'd pass up those moments up to whoever is crazy enough to want to experience them ::cough cough::Your mom is to fat to ride TTD::cough cough::;)

Hey, is there another name we can call you by? It's so hasseling typing out "Your mom is to fat to ride TTD".

One time, it was raining, so we kind of hung around the entrance. The rain stopped, so they started testing, but they couldn't get one over the top, so they closed it the rest of the day.

I'm sure there is more to that story than what you saw.

Yes, I am sure there was a lot more than what I saw. I didn't know anything about coasters then, compared to now.

I managed to get on a rollback once, thankfully. My friend had waited forever to get the front seat (first time ever in the front seat I might add). And right before the people next got to get on, it started to rain, so we waited it out for like an hour. Luckily we had this cool guy from California talking with us in the line to pass the time. After dragster started up again, the people before us got on after the test and made it over. So we went next, needless to say we were all surprised about the rollback. It's a very odd experience, like you just feel something is wrong when you slow down really fast. And then the slow beginning descent down, you just begin to start screaming with joy. It goes really fast, and its over before you know it. The worse thing I would say about the roll back is going back to the station. It takes forever, and you get bombarded with questions from the spectators. >.<

It is, but my signature is in Kunrei-shiki Romanji because Ohio State refuses to teach in Hepburn. My SN is in Hepburn however since we haven't learned the Kunrei version of saishuu, which I suspect is saisyuu or saisiyuu.

Anyways, I remember we returned to the station we were constantly asked "why are you guys going backwards?" If I only had a nickle for ever time I was asked that...

I remember hearing someone tell somebody on a train that just rolled back: "Are you guys alright!? Is anyone hurt?! Why'd they make you guys go backwards??"

Just tell them that the track wasn't finished and that you guys had to come back so they had more time to finish up.

And then in a really scared voice tell them you hope they move quickly.

i would probably die laughin if someone in line said that. thats good.

After a while I just started to say we had a "flat" tire and they stopped it while it was moving so they can fix it. I still think that those people actually believed me. XD

Is it possible to get more than one rollback in one ride?

Yeah.

I saw a ride operator get at least six or seven rollbacks when he was test riding a train in the middle of the day after they switched a train out.
