Acrophobia

Thepain does not go tho your groin because you are tilted. You absord the fall with your chest and stomach.

IOA i never said it tilts as you go down i said ", just as it starts slowing down it tips the seat forward" and then you dangle there and it drops...

I really like the name.

running into walls would be fun if it didnt hurt!

I have a question for anyone... So I messed up with my naming.. I was under the impression that they were all great americas.. but they were called 6 flags over so and so Like the one in Illinois isnt it six flags great america over illinois? I was just wondering... Everyone is so dern critical... I appologise is there anything else I messed up on? Why does everyone have to be sooo cruel!

To those that have ridden acrophobia did it rotate when you rode it? When we went on it saturday it didnt rotate... Whats up with that?

I know they advertise it as a stand up, it's more of a half standing thing. It did not rotate on May 13, I'm glad it didn't! You do not really go up very fast, and after the tilt you raise up like two more feet or something. It's like belly flopping towards the ground, or skydiving without a 'chute or something, you do not feel like you are in anything, it scared me worse than anything EVER has. When that thing comes down, it comes down! Pain free, the only pain is in the mind.

Some people have been confused about the Acrophobia ride at SFOG. Is it a stand up, where your feet dangle? Or is it were you sit down and your feet dangle?

Ok, everyone is not cruel, just some people here are limited on patience (I won't name names, except one. Me. I can have very little patience.)

And to get the names straight. Most (not all) Six Flags parks have the name Six Flags as the first two words. They have other properties, too, without that, but most do have Six Flags in the name. Some of them are Six Flags Over *state* (I think Over Georgia and Texas are the only ones.)
A couple have names for where they are: Six Flags New England, Six Flags Mexico, Six Flags Belgium.
The remainder have unique names: Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Magic Moutain, SF Worlds of Adventure, etc...
There is one that can be confusing: Six Flags Great America. AKA Marriot's Great America. Is why you may have thought they were all Great America is this: There were two Great America's built (by Marriot.) One in Gurnee, IL, on in Santa Carla (I think), CA. One was sold in the 80s to Six Flags (Gurnee's), the other sold to Santa Carla (I think) and the city gave Paramount the job of managing and maintaining it, or else it was just sold to Paramount.
My theory is, because two Great America's exist, and one is Six Flags, you got confused and thought all Six Flags had Great America in the name.
Now, wasn't that a nice long pointless post to help someone clear something up?
