That's a stunning shot with the cloud formation centered just right. Maybe you can take the bar car on your next ride. I'm guessing that no children would be allowed.

That's a nice report Bonnie. I'd never pass up that free ticket for it but not sure I'll ever go for a full price ticket.

I watched breathlessly, half expecting the door to pop open and the girls to fall to their untimely ends, but thankfully that did not happen.

You are forgetting what drunk people do though.  They talk.  TO YOU.  ::shuddering:::

I didn't take that incredible picture, I woman I know did. I am not that good.

Nah....I didn't really want those little girls to perish...just to sit down and stop jumping!

Yeah..the bar car is good idea if I ever attempt this again.

Thanks for taking the time to read...I appreciate it.

The bar car is twice the price (it's like $52) of a regular tickets and the ride will be over before the booze even kicks in. It's probably one of the biggest rips out there (I had it for free as 7* and it was a waste). If you need to be hammered to make this ride, do it for free in the casino before you get on the ride.

The idea wasn't to get hammered but to avoid screaming and prancing children.

Actually getting hammered beforehand AND avoiding the children both sound like good advice.
Thanks for all the tips.
Likely it will be a cold day in hell before I ride this again.

Still, it's twice the price.
