joz 1,894 Report post Posted February 25, 2003 Care for a marathon? Thats something I learned a long time ago, if its raining, never sit in the front. The fact that it was vekoma just topped it off. At least you weren't riding Thunderbolt in pouring rain. :twisted: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard 871 Report post Posted February 25, 2003 If you want a cool ride in the rain, Giant Drop's your man. If the gondola have had enough time sitting idle in the rain, then you'll get some very cool streamlining effects from the water that's collected under the seat, as it rushes out while you fall. Cyclone in particular isn't a very good ride in the rain. The train really does shuffle all over the place, particularly in the S-bend. Funny to see Eureka Mountain's roof leaking everywhere throughout the ride. At least on a ride like Lethal Weapon, if you're in the second or beyond rows, you're pretty well shielded. I've noticed Cyclone in particular sucks all over... (in the rain, that is ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flea 94 Report post Posted February 26, 2003 All coasters really are painful in the rain. Wether it's B & M or Togo, they are all painful in the rain. It just depends at the speed of the coaster, obviously, if you are travelling at 80kmp/h, the rain will feel like someone is throwing stones at you at very high speeds.

joz 1,894 Report post Posted March 3, 2003 One thing to add though, wipeout rules in the rain. Seriously, its like being inside a washing machine (in a good way) :? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
