  1. Whilst it can be used for that the ride will also know when all seats are locked. The more prominent reason is that during an evacuation it is not possible to release the restraints one person at a time. So to stop all the seats releasing at once the seatbelt keeps them down. Saw doesn't have seatbelts because the seats can be released individually so they aren't needed. There are also other minor reasons for there existence.

  2. Visited Oakwood today. Very empty lots of rerides. Drenched was closed all day :(

    The wild west area still has an orange fence and on the map it says new development coming soon. As far as I can tell no work is being done to that at all.

    It's a nice park it's just lacking some more rides. Oh and I can see how operations would become annoying if the park was busy. I've never seen a coaster run by 1 person before. Nor 2 flat rides run by 1 person on a rotation thingy.

    The park has potential it just needs investment.

  3. I love slammer because of the free fall and the weightless sensation you get when its at full speed. Everyone else's reaction on the ride is also great entertainment. By no means is the last of its kind a reason to stay. The reason I think it should stay is because of the ride experience. The only issues its very much a Marmite ride. You either love slammer or hate it. 

  4. Yeah I have a feeling I've had my last ride on slammer. Stop pouring money into samurai and spend it on slammer. Samurai is terrible and boring, slammer is unique and fun.

  5. They are so uncomfortable if you don't get the seat just right. First time on a stand up was just me trying to stop the pain the whole way round. If it wasn't for there being no queue I wouldnt have bothered with a 2nd go.

    I think the future for them is the floorless conversion. Stand ups don't attract people any more and people which do ride them always say that they are uncomfortable.

  6. I know what you meant however I think that for rides with inversions they will have restraints like banshee.

    A flying coaster with a half loop is an interesting idea however having played with the concept in no limits on multiple occasions it's very hard to get the g-force at the bottom of the loop to be surviveable. It needs a very gradual curve which means it needs more hight which means more speed so a more gradual curve. It is possible just difficult to get right. Then there is the issue of falling objects from the train. It would need a net in a very odd location.
