Well there IS something you can do on purpose, delete them!;)
Mike, I thought it's just Sheikra that theyre converting to a floorless......or am I missing something?

Thats pretty interesting, but mantis wouldn't be as fun sitting down.

My question is, is there a greater difference in the heartline profile between a sit-down and a floorless, or a stand-up and a floorless? It would seem to my uneducated brain that a floorless would have a closer profile to a stand-up than to a sit-down. BGA apparently had little difficulty converting (sit-down) Kumba to a floorless, so why would it be so impossible for CP to turn (stand-up) Mantis into a floorless?
First Kumba is still a standard sit-down B&M, Sheikra is the one that is getting that treatment.
Second, as long as the seats on a floorless train are high enough up, the heartline wouldn't be an issue.

In this case, your legs become sore. who wants to walk around the park with sore legs for the whole day.
I'd rather ride a not-so-great ride sitting down, than ride a not-so-great ride standing up and be sore for the rest of the day. *** Edited 3/26/2007 7:59:26 PM UTC by @webber***
Then you have some weak legs. Sure my legs are a little rubbery when I'm done, but they aren't sore for the rest of the day.
Goodbye MrScott

No, you're right. I meant Sheikra, but somehow the keyboard magically converted my strokes to 'Kumba'. Better get this thing checked. ;)

The only thing you need to get checked Mike is your brain.......I suggest a CAT scan.:)
