So how many rides on the flyers have you gotten already?

Have you pretty much snapped every time?

Once I got it down I can do it most every time.

This is definitely on of the funnest rides I've ever been on. I guess it is because
you are sort of in control and can make it as wild or as mild as you want. I snap
every time. In fact, I'm trying to figure out a way to tone it down a bit as my rides
are becoming increasingly violent. I believe weight is a big factor. I've never ridden alone, always with my son. (My alone-time is coming soon though, heh, heh)
Together, we weigh about 165-170 lbs. His friend, who is tall enough to ride alone, weighs about 45 lbs and although he's does all the right moves, he can't seem to get the cables to "snap". Also, my daughter rode with her dad and couldn't get it to snap at all because it was too heavy (and she's good at it too). So there is definitely an "ideal snapping weight range".

Yes... my vote of 50+ is actually true now with over 15 hours logged on the flyers alone. I'm also counting my non-stop ride last night as around 10.

I managed 1. I can't stand the lines. It is way to long. I ride it more if they had another one right next to it! HOW FUN!!! The flyers look like they will hit each other!

Who's up for a duplicate of the flyer! I am!

Plus, I can't go to Carowinds this week. (DAMN!) I am taking drivers ed at Olympic. Snnnnoorrrrreee! What a bore! (me sleeping-----> -_- ) OMG! Who wants to take my place?!?! lol.

I DONT THINK NO ONE DID 173.... NOT POSSIBLE FOR THIS YEAR THIS FAR.
Please don't lie. People know when you lie, and that makes you look stupid. For example here is a stupid face: :wacko: . That is what you'd look like if you lie. SEE! Lieing doesn't make you pretty! It's true!
