April 6, 200817 yr comment_25033 Thats what you think I'm kidding, but I'm not sure about Mark.Trust me, Rush is the last ride in europe let alone the world that I would cream myself over.
April 8, 200817 yr comment_25105 Rush was turned on today..By turned on do you mean full on swinging or just a little light on it was on?????? I hope its open by this thursday!
April 8, 200817 yr comment_25106 Apparently it was being worked on all day today, I don't think it's swinging though
April 8, 200817 yr comment_25107 It was, engineers were up the top sorting stuff out. A few staff members hinted it will be open by the weekend.
April 8, 200817 yr comment_25112 They finished putting on the restraints yesterday and were clearning up the ground around it.
April 9, 200817 yr comment_25119 Sounds so promissing. I cant wait to feel that breeze you get while being swung 75ft
April 9, 200817 yr comment_25121 A lot of staff members were saying it would be ready for Saturday.There was a cherry picker at the top for most the morning fixing the top of Swing A. I would say we could see it testing tomorrow or Friday.
April 11, 200817 yr comment_25272 Well, according to the official, all rides are available now...perfect time to go =]
April 11, 200817 yr comment_25281 No its not, it was testing today. I was there. Will be open tommorow.
April 12, 200817 yr comment_25336 2008 has officially begun...... got to beat 101 and a half this season!
April 12, 200817 yr comment_25343 My aim is to go on it once, JUST ONCE and try and not be afraidIf I can get the guts to go on it once, then I can go on it again and again.First time, always the worst
April 12, 200817 yr comment_25344 In my opinion, Samurai, Slammer, Stealth, Inferno, Colossus and Det are more "scarier" than rushDont be afraid of Rush its really not that bad =]
April 12, 200817 yr comment_25347 Hmm Detonator is more scarier, but none of the others! Rush I still s**t myself when its at the highest possible swing. It's the restraints that do it for me.
April 12, 200817 yr comment_25354 Me too. It's the lack of restraints that scares ya, adds a bit of "OH MY GODness" to the whole thing...=/
April 12, 200817 yr comment_25355 And f all to hold onto I wish they'd have put the handle in the center of the restraint, not awkwardly on the side..
April 12, 200817 yr comment_25358 I wouldn't say the restraints scare me too much, but when you first go on it and look up, seeing it from a different prospective definately makes it look taller from the point of view of a rider to the point of view of a spectator. The worst thing I find you can do is look straight up at the top of a forward swing (while your on your back), really freaked me out.
April 12, 200817 yr comment_25362 the restrains make the ride better! knowing you are safe but have so little holding you in!
