Right Now: Firefighters called to Universal Orlando for stuck roller coaster

That's why they call em' Jesus clips because when they fly out you yell out JESUS!

Hell, we've all been on a roller coaster lately.

My own rollercoaster is unhinged.

Local thirteen is stating that the 10 people will be stuck there a few hours until they can figure out how to get them down. They are in the launch position so I guess they're laid back. Time for Panic Sex.

You've left the tracks. Unfortunately our Gubiment flew off long ago.

This is why I don't get on those things.....

That's what my wife said. I always liked the thrill rides but I may have to give it a pass in the future. I swear, that's how I feel about passenger flights now. I don't think the maintenance required is really being performed like it use to be. Rubber bands and bailing wire.

They moved some of the cars up and it looks like they are going to start unloading folks.

The name of the ride is: The Rip Ride Rocket.
Rocket to me.

If this isn't justification for bombing Iran, then I don't know what is!

Yeah, Rip Rockets in Flight, afternoon delight......

Never place your life in the hands of carnival folk!

Thanks for the stars by the way. It's a dull thread. No real impending DOOM.

That's what I had been thinking. Damned carnies. Bunch a drunks. Sepin this here's Universal. I would think they would employ better?

I was just at Universal Saturday night, and have ridden the "rocket" several times. It looks like they are at the peak of the first climb. You sit at a 90 degree angel, not a fun time getting out of that one!

Yep, saw it on News 13. That would suck if it let go. I would think by now they would have some steel bars in place to jam it up and prevent that.

It's on a ratchet at that point isn't it. Did you hear a clank, clank, clank?

This here's dirty laundry. You'll probably enjoy this more.

It is on a guide system. However who knows of they hold! As far as the employees at Universal mostly high school/college kids. On a side note those people on the coaster were likely avoiding the haunted houses because they were too scary, little did they know!
