Guest pod Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Umm 2 gees? Fighter pilots regularly hit 8. She had a prior condition though. I don't see them winning a lawsuit, considering Disney warns you repeatedly about this ride. The most I see is they give the family some shut-up money.

Guest coach Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 all of these incidents actually make me want to ride it.I highly recommend it! We ride it everytime we go. I *know* they have turned it down since it opened, though, but it is still pretty intense. I guess they should put up a sign that says:THIS RIDE MAY KILL YOUYOU HAVE BEEN WARNEDIF YOU RIDE THIS AND SUFFER SERIOUS INJURYORDEATHIT IS YOUR OWN FAULT FOR IGNORING THE WARNINGThis would probably increase ridership, actually. The thing is always empty. They even started to give out "bonus" Fastpasses to it when you get a fastpass for the car ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
