Once I got stuck on the Maverick at Cedar Point. I was uber scared because I had no idea what would happen. A guy in line was trying to help me, and after like five minutes they got the ride operator's attention and they pushed a button and I got out fine.
A four year old can use a screwdriver! And the harness sticking is UNCOMMON!
"... out of the 1.5 million Griffon riders since May, only twice has the harness refused to lift at rides end and both times on two different days involved Matthew Sassone.
"He poked some kind of a metal object whether it be a screwdriver or something to bend the harness ..."
Wow! I would've hated that to happen. The only thing that has ever happened to me was the seats getting stuck up with my feet off the floor on a stand-up coaster during the ride when it finally locked! LOL That is stupid that they revoked your season pass and their explanation.
I have not called you one name since this argument started, you have. Kings Dominion is getting a HUGE super fast new coaster for 2010. There is massive land clearing behind Anaconda and some supports and track have already arrived. Looks like BGE got beat to the punch again.
So you admit Kings Dominion is better, also I have been to Busch Gardens at least 30 times for various reasons. 3 times a year is not nearly enough times to prove yourself correct. More name calling? What could I expect from someone who does not have a legit argument in the first place?
I am accusing BGE of being bad for many reasons than its lack of reliability. I have been to 15+ amusement parks and have great experience in the ride industry, and the only place with more rides broken in one day was my county fair. Some of my best friends practically run theme parks, and they consider the job a luxury. Now cut the immature namecalling, and try to come up with a valid point, get back to me when ya do. Okay?
KD has over 60 rides, and they maintain a better record for reliability. I know rides break, but Griffon closes ever time the wind blows and Alpie breaks down at least 1-3 times a week. When two of your newest rides have problems and are B&Ms, you have a serious problem. Now, since "b4" and "fucktard" are not a part of the English Language (a use Websters, not Urban Dictionary), I will not dignify your last statement with a response.
Hey man fuck you. Half of kings dominion's rides break down everyday! Kings Dominion is retarded and got rid of their best ride, for what a ferris wheel and another gay ride.
They got rid of hypersonic for something that has more inversions than anything at BGE. I have been a season pass holder at KD since 2001, and half their rides are nver broke down. Maybe one a day. That beats getting stuck on the boring Griffon, all it has is two drops and two inversions. Dont make fun of what we got this year you ignorant fanboy, you got your second kiddie land!
They didnt need to get rid of Hypersonic to get The Dominator. I've rode the Dominator and I wasn't impressed. The Griffon has gone down like twice or something and kings dominion rides go down once a day. Sounds like KD is pretty shitty.
It happens once in a blue moon at MOST amusement park, please do not mistake me for being uninformed, but when Alpengeist frequently closes for lift related problems, Griffon has problems this video demonstrates, and you don't see many videos like this from other parks, BGE is a clear exception.
I rode that and stepped in puke barefooted when I got on it. I didn't know what it was until we were all strapped in. It was rather nasty. I'm glad I wasn't stuck in it at the end.
I got stuck on the griffon before. I just finished riding it and the train was coming back into the station. The train infront of us had a problem thus causing us to be part of the problem. We couldn't get off for about 5 to 8 minutes.
You wouldn't even be able to get a screwdriver into the park due to security. The metal detectors at the front would go off. There's no way you could get a screwdriver in!
I did not know that busch garedens has metal detectors, well the one in tampa doesn't. even if he did have a screwdriver, they would of saw when they checked their bags.
The two men, named Matthew Sassone and his friend Clayton Mercurio, claim they had nothing to do with the malfunction in which the safety restraint would not release for Matthew痴 seat. Director of Communications for Busch Gardens, Cindy Sarko, continues to believe the men are behind it.
I respect your opinion, but In order for the harnesses to come up, they have to go down a little. Which is why if your harness gets stuck the ride operators tell you to pull down.
actually, I wouldn't even call it retalliation. I'd call it entertainment for the rest of us. I love your story, minus the season pass crap. Hope they let you back in.
my train got stuck on SheiKra (The ride Griffon is modeled after in Tampa). We got stuck on the part where it holds you before you drop down. We were there for about 15 minutes, and then the ride started over again. I still rode it 10 times after that. It was really scary because we didn't know when we were gonna drop :(.
What's interesting is that the ride ops are playing along with this situation and their "bosses" then slap these guys with a no tresspassing orders. You would think the ride ops would show a more sense of urgency here!
