Yea thats what they do with King da Ka out at Six Flags Great Adventure. Nobody has been hurt, butt they check that ride so often that day old parts are being replaced with new parts. Sick ass ride though
Yeah, that's why it's basically nicknamed the 50% ride, because it's closed 50% of the time to make sure nothing is wrong with it. I guess that's the smart thing to do, considering you go faster than 120 MPH is about 3.5 seconds, then climb over 400 FT before doing a 90 degree corkscrew on the way back down....
Fucking insane. I almost nutted my pants just describing the ride.
