Glad you did not get attacked by bees and wasps! So was Vampire... Well, everything was.Regarding the spinning of the cars on Dragon's Fury, is it all to do with spreading the weight proportionately or does time the time of day have an effect (ie. once its warmed up as it where)?

themeparkmad Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 So was Vampire... Well, everything was.Regarding the spinning of the cars on Dragon's Fury, is it all to do with spreading the weight proportionately or does time the time of day have an effect (ie. once its warmed up as it where)?Whoever you were replying to about the spinning of the cars. There is a big poster saying...'To spin or Not to spin... That is the question'. On saying once warmed up - I agree with that as I find Dragon's Fury to feel faster and smoother after a few hours of being open. However, You can usually guaranteed a good ride on Dragon's Fury.Whereas Vampire, usually you get a better ride after it has been open for 2 hours.Usually, when I am the first on Vampire, It is still a good ride but not as good until after about 2 hours of operating.

Got MANY stay on rides. And yeah its to do with the weight. Had one spinny as hell ride when there was the two of us sitting on the same side and no one on the other side.

And yeah its to do with the weight. Had one spinny as hell ride when there was the two of us sitting on the same side and no one on the other side.Thats why I mentioned the time of day, as it doesnt seem to spin as wildly with two people on one side in the mornings. Still doesnt lose it enjoyment though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesnt lose it enjoyment though!The more the ride runs, the warmer the wheels and barings in the car get so yeah it does tend to be a bit more spinny in the afternoon then in the morning. It's the same on Spinball Whizzer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Do people not believe the ride was actually shut because there was a bee swarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It did used to but it was removed in 2005 as it had minimal impact on queue length and throughputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noob230 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Why does *Fragons Dury (also Spinball Whizzer or any Mauhroh Sohne Ride) have a 1.9m Maximum height limit?*Dragons Fury - Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 The Maurer Sohne spinner cars are quite cramped/small and its a tight fit even for me at just over 1.7.I have seen them allow people over 1.95cm ( the height limit) on before but under certain circumstances I'm not sure of.

(And he was just 1.95m). However, this was a few seasons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 There's a few reasons really.1. If they are tall their head won't be supported by the headrest.2. If they have long legs the bar might not go down the required three clicks.3. It's a very tight squeeze for most guests but for tall guests it may be very uncomfortable.The Maximum height restriction isn't as strict as the minimum restriction because the staff explain to guests all the above when they get in the car.
