jim hawkins Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Sign me up! I demand a cowboy hat to wave.
Red Cat Jenny Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 WOW. Hmm so would I trust it with you driving Mr. L.? Hmmmm Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
hurricane Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 This is already a real ride. It's called Robocoaster. Here's more on it. http://themeparks.about.com/od/photoandvid...robocoaster.htm It was shown at the big theme park convention in Orlando here two years ago. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Dorian Lasseter Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Hurricane, Yep, I just like the demo video, it's so basic in design and well, not too safe looking... Truly, D.

Captain Jim Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 How about this little jewel? Its from the companyPrimal Rides I want one to hook up to a FlightSim program. Must first win lottery. Now imagine one set up to look like the interior of a MechWarrior. Put it on a track and go up against the (simulated) real deal. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I don't have the iron stomach I used to. If I rode that ride, it better be behind a barrier if there were people nearby...
CrazyCholeBlack Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I'm THERE! But I think I'd wear a helmet, just cause it looks like it gets so close to the ground & that would make me nervous without a helmet.

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 I think I'd want to be wearing a helmet AND thickly padded outfit, especially around the legs. Just watching that guy flail around with his legs missing the ground by inches made me queasy. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales.

Red Cat Jenny Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 I'd put someone else on it and watch laughing as they yodeled like a Swiss mountainclimber!

capnwilliam Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I trust technology so much that I live in the old part of New Orleans, where God and nature gave me some dry ground and a little elevation. Most of the city was built on reclaimed swampland. But hey, don't worry, we have the levees and the pumping system to keep the water out... Capt.

jessie k. Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Are you kidding? I could barely watch! That guy's head was like 2 inches from hitting the concrete. What if he'd just stretched his neck a little, or shifted himself in the seat at just the wrong moment? I'm so paranoid sometimes.

Lady Alyx Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Hmmm first off...I love anything robotics..but I don't see the purpose of this ride unless it's a great way for ER doc's to the the perps to heave up the drugs they swaller'd.... ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
