SupraGirlie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 How much fun is Sling Shot!!! My mate dragged me on it twice the other day and FU@K ME! 0-100 in under 2 seconds and it goes 250 foot high! I thought I was going to die lol, but wow what fun, it makes all the rides at Alton Towers seem tame. Is there one in England anywhere?!!! There must be. I want another go lol. There is a camera on the sling shot cage itself which I got the DVD of Sling Shot vid at night Sling Shot vid by day Couple pics in our Sling Shot T-shirts lol..

It was meant to be 20 euro pp per go, plus 10 for the T-shirt and 10 I think for the DVD but we got it all for 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraGirlie Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 The one I went on had steel holding the sling shot, but some are made of rubber!! Apparently one came off!! Really freaked me out, I can't believe I went on it after hearing that to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I remember a few of us decided to have a go on one of these after a day of lager at some Santapod event some years ago. Mig getting off and saying that he managed to kick himself in the head will live with me till the day I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraGirlie Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 pffft. have a go on this. 300ft drop] Yeah but it's the way you are in this seat, not attached to anything, at least a roller coaster in on rails etc when you are flung in to the air you don't know when it's going to spring back, feels like you are going to fly off forever lol it is the scariest thing I have ever experienced and I have been on some pretty serious roller coasters! I have to get the DVD vid up when I get it back off my mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Is that the one in Magalluf? Thats the one we went on, got the vid lying around somewhere. Looks like you're having a great time. Need to post the posing photo in your avatar full size Not to scare you, just a story... the one you were on, if in Magalluf, used to be a full ball type cage. They changed it after something snapped. It was all over the papers etc. I think they found out the cage was too heavy and it fatigued the lines eventually. Noone was seriously hurt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I remember a few of us decided to have a go on one of these after a day of lager at some Santapod event some years ago. Mig getting off and saying that he managed to kick himself in the head will live with me till the day I die. That was me and Mig that went on that together. We were all p!ssed as farts iirc. Twas good fun though. Lol yeah they tell you to put your feet on the bar in front but I could see how that could happen haha.Mig is in a wheelchair (not while on the ride of course) and doesn't have control of his legs - so it was easier for him to kick himself than it would be for most folk.
