I could fit a small child between me and the buzz bar on Jack Rabbit.

...you're an idiot for doing so.

Well, I guess since you're the authority on such matters...

Wow. I'm not sure what's more ignorant. That you think that your economic status is relevant to your integrity (thus implying that lower class folk have less), or that you are proud to be a subscriber to partisan politics.

Really? Can you go back and read what you wrote about nobody being able to argue your decision that it was unsafe and stupid, and not walk away with the conclusion that you name yourself the final authority on this matter?

I'm not going to sue anyone like the McDonald's coffee lady. I'm an upper class Republican. I take responsibility for my mistakes and don't blame my "stupidity", as you put it, on a large corporation.

One day I hope I can be as smart and all-knowing as you are.

What I can go and read is Cedar Point's policy regarding restraints. Which you have not. My opinion of your disrespect for rides and those who who condone your inability to follow those very simple policies does not make me an authority. It just further proves my opinion of you.

I could care less about your social status. You could be a left wing hippy loving democrat. It doesn't make you any more intelligent than an angry 12 year old who has no regard for the rules set forth by the park you visit.

I don't understand why you're so invested in a corporation's rules. Rules you didn't write. Rules who breakage doesn't (reasonably) endanger, disenfranchise or raise taxes on you.

I am not condoning his actions, but there is no "hard" proof that there were more accidents on rides due to buzz bars opposed to the current lap bars.

I think most of it is due to lawers and people at insurance companies trying to proove there existance.

From what I recall, I don't think those bars even buzz.

I have a question about restraints. Maybe someone on here can answer. When they lock, they only lock from opening any further and are able to become tighter during the ride, correct? Does that make sense? I've noticed on Raptor that I'm very loose in the station, but then on the lift hill I can click it once more.

Restraints on almost if not all roller coasters can get tighter after leaving the station. I usually can pull my restraint down a bit more on the lift hill on Raptor and most other rides.

This forum jackknifed from feeling unrestrained on Sky Hawk, to the way people ride loose and other people complain about it, even on other rides. Please stay on topic here or start a new thread. Others, thank you for your input about what you think about this ride's restraints.

I'm glad a moderator stepped in to set us back on the right course. Wait a minute....
