Really gives a good picture of the size difference!

I knew the IV's were smaller, but not that much smaller!


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Here are some pics inside the monorail

I remember how cramped they were.

No A/C only little pop out windows.

I remember as little kids it would be so cramped that to make room us kids would ride up on the little slanted wall behind the seats.

Nice,

That looks like the old monorail system that DL had. The monorails at the MK and WDW areas are much nicer. That would be A/C, nice and quiet and runs very smoothly compaired to DL's old jolty monorail system. It's like the Matterhorn. My mom says you go on it and you feel like you broke a few bones in the body.
:D:

Knott's Ghostride is so bumpy. When I got off the ride, I did have a headache. The seats are small, there are crapy seat belts and not much protection for the head and neck. :eek:

If you go over to http://www.themeparkinsider.com, and click on accident reports, and Knott's Berry Farm, you'll find you have lots of company regarding Ghostrider. Several people have been injured on that ride, the worst being a lady who rode it as the first ride of the day, and she actually broke her neck. What did Knott's management tell her? They accused her of coming into the park with her neck already broken, and disobeying ride rules saying it is not for those with head, neck or back injuries! True story! That is so typical of them! :mad:

If someone did not shower, I would say how long can you hold your breath? If you find the smelly SG, toss him/her out the window??? :eek:

I am not a "medical type" and yet that is the first thing that came to my mind. Weird.


There's no place like 127.0.0.1
