anybody ever do the penny trick on demon drop?? can't do that on modern drop rides. Loves me some penny trick.

AV Matt · « **Reply #28 on:** October 25, 2009, 12:20:18 AM »

No. Lose articles such as a penny could be very dangerous. Deliberately letting go of such an item is not something I do.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 25, 2009, 09:25:22 PM »

You catch the penny while hovering. It's all part of the trick. Penny's fall from rides all the time. Filming rides... now thats dangerous. I saw a guy get kicked out of CW today filming behemoth. He was unpleased. His GF less pleased.

Uh, loose articles, including pennies, are NOT permitted on Demon Drop. If security or a ride op catches you, you can and will be ejected from the park, if you are lucky. If you are not lucky, you can be arrested. In Ohio, this is a misdemeanor and can subject you to a fine and/or imprisonment.

It is a VERY dangerous practice and Cedar Fair has NO tolerance for it.

Trick indeed.

Sigh.

I always wanted to work at Stuntman's free fall for that very reason, to collect all the loose change at the end of the night.

In his defense guys, tons of these thrill ride tv shows make it a point of using a penny or ball on rides like this to show the physics and not once do they mention that this isn't allowed.

But no, it isn't a good idea.

Youre right, a penny moving at that speed can kill. it was even worse when they did the same with a tennis ball on superman in magic mountain (on an older show).

If you also notice they close the area down for safety when they do things like that.

i can understand why they would do that. but how would it move laterally? If you want to hear something really scary my two friends were at gadv once and one went on medusa while the other stood under the cobra. then when the train came around my friend threw the tennis ball off the train while the one off the ride tried to catch it. Mind you i wasnt there and didnt have a part in this.

STUPID!

It may sound cool to try this, but PLEASE think of the consequences if something goes wrong. People can be seriously hurt. Lose articles can seriously injure or even kill. Think it through. There are enough dangers out there out of the control of the rider.

^^I caught hats out of the air on Nitro. I've been hit with pocket change on Apollo's chariot, And I almost got hit with a cell phone waiting in line for El toro.

I've had my share of unintentional fun.

Man have you been hit with a few coins that have fallen from rides, or something. That was way over the top. I had to check to see if I wrote penny/demon drop OR.. shotput/kingda ka

OK I admit after putting a bit of thought into it the penny trick could result in an accident. Doing it intentionally is unnecessary and wrong. If anything bad were to happen I would feel terrible.

That being said I really don't believe it's dangerous to anyone outside of the pod. That is unless you throw the penny out the side. The coin literally drops with you and could never drop from a high height. Again unless you throw it.
If it were truly dangerous than all rides were coins commonly fall should be banned. Intamin Starship for example are especially bad. Looping Coasters, Top spins, ban them all.

Life is all about calculated risk and driving to cedar point is 10 trillion times more likely to kill you than demon drop is. Getting out of bed isn't 100% safe.

Again I'd like to say I agree doing this "trick" is unnecessary and "potentially" dangerous. I've actually never done it but I've been in a pod with a stranger who has.

Ps. just be glad you yanks don't have loonies and twonies! lol

thats not very nice.
but anyway, i cant imagine being hit with a penny or even a cell phone going 80-100mph. riding nitro in the rain is painful enough!

^I've been hit by speeding pocket change. small change, like dimes and pennies, doesn't hurt me for some strange reason.

When you get hit by quarters and half dollars then the pain gets pretty bad, I still have scars from when I got hit with change from three years ago.

No, none of these were my stunts.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #42 on:** October 27, 2009, 05:56:38 PM »

^^ I didn't mean it like the coins messed you up... I meant it like being hit by coins made you sensitive to this topic. My appoligies

B-mac · « **Reply #43 on:** October 27, 2009, 06:19:58 PM »

^ Don't get worried about it. Just try to make sure a flame war doesn't start. Sometimes people read boards the wrong way, partially cause you can't judge someone's emotions or way of speech unless they have caps lock on.

LIKE THIS!

A coworker believes it will become a pay attraction. I'm not sure about that, but would anybody pay to ride it?
I think I would

B-mac · « **Reply #45 on:** October 29, 2009, 05:37:34 PM »

only, if it's less than $1.

kingdakafan · « **Reply #46 on:** October 29, 2009, 07:13:10 PM »

most likely it will be at least $5. erUPtion is $8 and that just sucked.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #47 on:** October 29, 2009, 11:23:24 PM »

Demon Drop has always been a pay attraction. 1 coin, any coin you wish. ahahaahahah J/K!

AV Matt · « **Reply #48 on:** October 30, 2009, 08:27:40 AM »

I would pay $5-$10 to ride it every time I visit. It's such a thrilling ride. There aren't many rides that do that for me anymore.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #49 on:** October 30, 2009, 08:51:57 AM »

I say losing a penny is a fair charge.
