This is just crazy! What happens if yo don't make the loop? You would be trapped.

Makes me uncomfortable just thinking about riding that!

(This coming from someone who is already freaked out by enclosed waterslides of any kind...)

Whoa!

Ah, good old Action Park. Gotta love it.

Great article like in the article they kept it there as a symbol even when the ride was closed, sounds like SOB, SOB sitting there could be a symbol, of hope, good to come, and failures are challenges that are fixed, learned and taken care of in life.

Okay enough bologna for today:

Thanks for the article:

They have actual ones, that are real and not as dangerous...

Yeah, there's a lot more to action park than just that slide. But that's one of the crazier things they did, no doubt.

I think I remember reading once that that slide, when tested with a dummy, proceeded to disassemble said dummy by ripping some of the limbs off.

Unlike Thorpe Park, I don't think they ever publicized it as being a reason to ride.

I'm absolutely speechless.

I remember reading about Action Park one time. The teenage employees, most about the same age as myself, seemed not to care at all about the patrons, from what I read. They would find places to get drunk/high, make the go-karts go faster, and would watch people go down the water slides, hoping to see a bad injury or topless women.

Just think how many lawsuits a company would get today for running a park as poorly as these kids did.

that slide looks painful .

man.. I totally would have ridden that.

Yet you complain about Gemini at Cedar Point.

SOPA didn't pass.

I love Gemini and ride it every time I go.

Looking up Action Park is worth the time it takes to Google it, nice article and if you search you can find some pretty interesting things around the web.

I know I'm going to get crap for this one, but

Gemini. On my first ride, the sudden helix at the end made me feel like my shoulder had been dislocated.

On my second ride, again on the helix, my lower neck made a nasty snap noise followed by stinging pain that caused me to have a stiff neck for 2 days afterward.

That final helix is rough although I do love Gemini-that part of the ride is definately arms down.

Her opinion of the Gemini are alowed to change, especialy since the said quotes have been posted. Gemini's Helix trims are now stronger and on all the time (even if MCBR is open) thus taming the helix.

I say, "No."

Thank you.

I decided to give Gemini another chance because I was sick of sitting out while my friends rode it. I ended up mentally kicking myself because I had missed out on such a fun ride so many times and now it's a must-ride whenever I visit.

So yes, my opinion has changed. Can we let it go now?

Thanks.

Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. Change is good.

But, I still am not gonna ride Ninja again anytime soon.

Oh my G-Force... ow.
