    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Next tag is a crazy thrill ride!
This one, they hoist you up, up, up in a harness that can hold one, two or four persons to a crazy height (160 feet) and then drop you! :eek:
You basically swing straight into a pile of boulders that they have placed strategically directly in front of your line of sight as you swing/fly down!

Not there but there are about a dozen an eighth of a mile away as it is on a very large casino property. ;)

The one next to it, is a reverse bungee jump.
It shoots you straight up into the sky! :eek:

Yeah, I miss my special tag ! I almost got that car, but couldn't figure out what to say if I answered his CL ad. " I don't want to buy, but can I take a picture of my bike with it ":D
 
There's one of those reverse bungees in Galveston, about forty miles from me.

I would go after it but, it's raining and I've got people here at my house installing travertine floors.
 
No new tag. We have one at Ole Town in Kissimee. I think it's called Superman. It's about an hour south. I'd try to get it now, but I'm watching the end of an awesome LLW Series game.
 
Guess I should have made the detour to WI Dells. Was within 20 miles, just did not feel like dealing with the tourist traffic and 4 lane. The 400 miles of 2 lane in SW WI was much more fun.
 
Here is the one we have, its the Skycoaster. Touted as the worlds tallest at 300 feet.:eek: http://www.funspotattractions.com/pages/sky-coaster.php

I'm trying to deside if I want to risk my life riding around the tourist idiots or jusy get it in the morning during my sunday morning ride. It's adjacent to Old Town. http://myoldtownusa.com/

Tonight is Cruise Nite, I think I wait till tomorrow morning when the tourists ( and drunks) are asleep,;) if no one get it tonight.

You have tourists in Wisconsin ?:eek:
 
Its flippin hell! I had to drive by the Dells every Friday and every Sunday for 2 years. Painful...

Oh god! The Dells area is tourist hell!

Yep tourists mostly from the great state of Illinois. They come in droves and herds to visit the 6 or more water parks in WI Dells and keeping the tee shirt shops and hotels in business. We really do appreciate them leaving some of their hard earned cash in the cheese state. :rolleyes:

With the temp being 94 F today it would have taken almost 15 minutes to drive the 6 block stretch where the extreme rides are located. :eek: Not my cup of tea on a big oil cooled bike in hot weather.

Don't change the tag. There's a similar ride a few miles from my office. I'll get it tomorrow if no one else has it by then.
