I'll say it. I hate that B&M
had to come up with a more efficient way to
have seatbelts. If this country weren't full of preposterous hair-trigger litigious morons, we wouldn't have to idiot proof and engineer around them.
Look at some of the rides operating in European parks. Some of them are entirely operated by the riders and look like they are "Ridiculousness" episodes waiting to happen, but yet they exist because people, for whatever reason, know how to handle themselves within the confines of normal behavior.
I hate that my kids will never be able to ride Thunder Road backwards, or without seatbelts on any PTC wooden coaster (aside from Knoebels *thank you Dick Knoebels*) or as it stands now, ever be able to ride the "Ghost of Dueling Dragons" and have them do exactly what they were designed to do.... DUEL... because some lummox decided to throw change at an oncoming train.
I didn't wanna grow up to be the old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn and grouse about how things were better "in my day" but geez how can ya not?
