September 19, 201410 yr comment_192403 That one sounds a bit exceptional! Having said that, what is the official line with prosthetics? Something that size and weight could probably kill someone flying through the air, surely they should be removed before riding? They must remove them on inverters? Can't just allow danger because of a disability. After that double amputee fatality in the states there must be guidance, even with otsr restraints.
September 19, 201410 yr comment_192410 They are forced to remove them on rush and vortex however I did see the same person get on saw and wasn't made to take his legs off.

November 30, 201410 yr comment_198352 I have a gopro, could I take it to Thorpe Park and film myself on Colossus if it is straped to my arm?
November 30, 201410 yr comment_198361 No, not without special permission. They'd consider it a lose article, the ride staff don't have the time or technical know how to be checking if each set up is safe, so it's a blanket ban.
November 30, 201410 yr comment_198364 Yes, cameras on track rides at thorpe are an absolute no, unless you want to desperately risk getting banned. I have a GoPro too, with wrist and chest mounts, and find it frustrating that articles more secure then clothes aren't allowed on rides, but those are the rules.
