OTSRs on Perilous Plunge !?!? That would be wired for a water ride. Why don't they just put up a sign at the entrance that says no one over so many pounds can ride. Does it realy need the change ?

Knotts never had a slingshot. They had an S&S absolutely insane ride. It isn't there anymore. (and you never saw many adults riding on it??)
Anyway, it would seem that just adding a weight limit would be the best idea, but Knotts is required by the State to modify the restraints in some way to make the ride "safer."

Xcelerator-
0-82 in 2.3 seconds! =Wow!
He means slingshot as the swings, but now it's called "The Wave Swinger", but used to be called "The Slingshot", and it's max weight is either 250, or 225, I dont remember tho.
And yes Perilous Plunge will have a test seat in front of the ride, as along with Xcelerator too, and pretty soon all the rides will. And I think Perilous Plunge is getting the 4 point harness, cause a guy thats working on it says they already are having training, and it's having a 4 point harness, and he says it'll open exactally 2 weaks after Xcelerator will, so that means Perilous Plunge will open Thurs, June 20th
Well, according to The Daily Bulletin, a Inland Empire newspaper, which had a large section about the local parks this year mentioned both Xcelerator and Perilous Plunge. They said it is expected to reopen by Memorial Day after the state oks it, Plunge that is. It also mentioned that modifications are being made to the restraints for Plunge.
This article was published today FYI.
