![]() ![]() But it has not been set up, and doesn’t look like it will be sadly. I found it sitting in a storage place near where the fair grounds usually are (it’s an original blue and white super loops, with green seats). This year I thought they were bringing it back from the six year absence. Some people even started blacking out from the heat and hanging upside down. They didn’t hang upside down for the usual couple seconds, instead they hung there for around 30 minutes while they were trying to fix it. By older brother about 16 and his two friends got stuck on it mid loop through. Unlucky I was to short to go on it, and the next year they removed it so I settled for the zipper instead.īut luckily I was not on it when it got stuck. We had this ride around when I was about 9. Luckily the ride ended quickly, and I sort of stumbled out of the car because it’s damn near impossible to get out of that tiny seat in one clean motion. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have someone hurl in that tiny compartment. ![]() I then started to get a bit nauseous I had to close my eyes eventually so I wouldn’t get sick. What was I going to do? Exit the ride and ask around if someone was missing a fucking pants button? I eventually chucked it, whilst upsidedown, into an unoccupied section of parking lot. I then held onto it for a few seconds, contemplating what to do with this. To my absolute surprise, the ride was pretty smooth! During one of the final swings, some person’s pants button hit me in the face. The train rocked back and forth quite a few times in attempt to complete a loop. The op then closed the doors, pinning us in our cell for the next few minutes. Once closed, the 2 steel bars that hold the bar in place are seriously no more than 8 inches away from your face. We also noticed the stagnant water smell that permeated the compartment, obviously the ride had been hosed down numerous times from vomit.įinally, the ride up closed the restraints, which are these giant padded lapbars that close downward. During the 10 minutes, we noticed the total obliviousness that people had to the “2 riders per seat rule”, even though ride op and numerous signs had made the point clear. When I got to the seat, I was surprised to find that the compartment was about 3 1/2 feet wide, and about 2 feet front to back! It was smaller than hell! We crammed ourselves into the seat, and then waited like 10 minutes for all the other riders to load. We walked up the ramp, showed the ride op our handstamps, and proceeded to one of the seats. ![]() This particular Ring of Fire actually looked pretty decent with a new, black paint job and sequenced turbo lighting. My cousin and I decided to ride Ring of Fire. It was in July of 2005 at the Meadowlands Fair in East Rutherford, NJ. I’ll just document one of my more memorable rides on Ring of Fire. I’m sure many people have a blast on this thing but I’d take Larson’s open air version, Fireball, any day over the enclosed variant. the cramped cars are almost panic attack enduing. I’m amazingly biased against Ring of Fire as A. ![]()
