WT Restraints

I don't know if I'm the only one who this has happend to, but has any one have gotten a headache from banging your head against the restraints when it twists up a tower? I'm 6' 2" so it may have caused with that I'm the perfect height for to get it.

I worked at Wicked Twister during the 2006 season and test rode it quite a few times, I am about 6' 3" and I don't get headaches from riding it. It really all depends on where you sit in my opinion. I like the back 5 rows and the front 5, but I don't like the middle of the train. I hope that helps?

The only time I rode in the back of the train, I hit me head pretty hard on the restraint. But, I didn't get a headache from it. The next I ride in the back (which is not often), I'll just remember to hold my head more steady on the backwards part. :)

I've never had a problem with head banging on WT.

I'm 6'4" and I never have a problem anywhere on the train. It's smooth as MF for me.

I always feel sorry for Steel Venom during the vertical braking. It sounds and feels like it's working so hard to keep me up there, I just want to give it a cookie or something.

Yay! I win the weirdest post of the day award! But then... I always do. ;)

Occasionally if you don't keep your head a little firm against the headrest, you will experience maybe one slight bang against the restraint, but usually its not even noticeable, and I certainly never get a headache from it.

Im 6'3" and I love that ride. I never hit my head on anything on that ride. I love it!

Occasionally I get a little bang going down the twist. I'm 6'0, so I might not be good for comparision, but headaches don't occur often.

I had also remembered that I had a terrible bruise there before. It also didn't help that I was in the middle row too and I guess it's just me then who have gotten a headache. Also, I hit my head going back at full speed. All I have to say is that it hurt.

I'm 5'2"ish, didn't have a problem the one time I got a ride on WT thus far. I can see that increasing quite a bit next year, though! (the ride count)

I do experience some minor headbanging while riding Wicked Twister. Esepecially towards the back going up the backwards tower for the second time. It doesn't really affect me though, because it doesn't hurt in my opinion. Unlike Corkscrew, or Mantis, where at times I just think "Okay, let me off now please."

I have never had headbanging on Wicked Twister. I'm about 6 feet tall and rode it 5 times. They were all in the back rows or the front rows though. Wicked Twister is my second or third favorite ride in the park. I also didn't experience headbanging on 3 Mantis rides. The only ride at CP that I experience real headbanging on is Corkscrew, and maybe Mean Streak on occasion.

The only time I get a little head banging, is the back of the train going down the back spril.


Quote from a Corkscrew ride op, "And Dragster is down again"

Nope, never had a problem. I'm 5'4 ish and the only time i've ever hit my head was maybe one time in the back seat while entering the back tower. Other then that, no problems whatsoever.

I never had a problem hit my head a few good times but never got a head ache from it.

I never have a headbanging issue on WT. My fav is in the backseat looking out at the lake on the back spiral. Now Mantis and Corkscrew on the other hand... YOUCH.... I am PRAYING with all my heart there is no head banging on Maverick. I will be seriously disappointed!
