Acraphobia???
the seat is like a standard invert coaster, and when the ride is at the top,it leans forward...then of course drops, and breaks...very hard
by the reactions of many male riders during the brakes and getting off the ride, I can safely assume that it is slightly damaging to male anatomy...ride with caution!

rollercoasters aren't my whole life, they just make my life whole
As for your 2nd Question, I had once heard that a man went to a doctor after being stranded on Acrophobia for a few hours, and was told that he and his wife would have to adopt if they wanted kids. :)jk

Man,that's really hard to read and confusing , sounds like bedtime is upon me. (smiley face here).

This place would be be a nightmare for midgets.
Please note that anyone who thinks that NO man can ride this ride without severe discomfort does not understand the male anatomy. The endangered apparatus can be maneuvered out of harms way successfully. Those of us with said apparatus are careful. Anyone who gets "hurt" is more than likely desiring attention.

Clenching your THIGHS around the harness is the key to a pain-free ride on Acro....but after riding PKD's machine....the 15-degree tilt, to me anyway, is more *hype* than anything else. There's PLENTY of things at SFoG that I *love* to ride, Acro I generally stop by for a ride when the lines have gone down...(it's also a better view IMO when the lights have come on around the park).
Agree whole-heartedly that many riders do jump off their seats yelling for attention...

Unfortunately, in the last week, they put the old seats back on...
Uhh..... Why would they do that? Was it because the new ones were so soft that they were practically falling apart from people squeezing them so tight? I did notice a bunch of that while I was there.
