Yer I love ACE humour,

Just click the link below then scroll down and look at the right hand side of the screen until you see the NEW YORK NEW YORK MANHATTEN EXPRESS video. The video is just wet yourself funny.

Out of all of the funny coaster vids the saftey of coaster one I saw AGES ago and it was ok the first time but didnt really like it. I also have downloaded all of the vids to my PC from that site ages ago, so is the Mahnhatan express 1 where they swear their heads off because the ride is REALLY bumpy ? :P :lol: :P

Do You Ever Get The Urge To......

On a coaster (with OHR), you look at the belt on the chain hill and do you ever get the urge to undo it? I sometimes am sitting there thinking, hmm, shall i leave it or undo it. I know, nothing would happen if i did but still, sometimes its tempting :P.

Does anyone else get this sometimes?

Youd be surprised. I once undid mine ad the ride stopped. And a ride attendant came running up the lift hill and told me to put it back on.

The belt is actually there to stop you slipping out the bottom of the restraints.

Thats rubbish because kumba at BGT never use to have them, it dose now but never use to.

I dont think thats quite true. They are there for the worst case scenario of the restraints failing (i dont know how, but just in case) and also to distribute the force of your body on the restraint, to take less strain off the locking system if you are a bigger person.

Yes I have had an urge to undo the belt a few times. Just something to do when going up the chain hill :lol: .

It is just a secondary restraint if the poverhead bars fail. ( unlikely )! :lol:

I never have the urge to undo it on the lift (even though I have had the urge to open plane doors and jump off buildings these weren't overpowering urges mind you.) It's actually fairly normal a lot of people get these feelings (judging by the amount of replies in this topic.) I always undo my belt on the break run though.
