This is odd. It was running.

A wait and see moment here.

I SWEAR TO GOD IF THAT CLOSES,  there is already little to none of thrill ride's as it is

How would MDMC closing affect the number of thrill rides in the park?

 

Would be very surprised if it was closing.

On Saturday when I was there it was operating, but no side cars, so maybe they are updating the requirements for the ride

Don’t worry it’s back on the website

Looks like it was offline temporarily to remove mention of the side cars.

Previously

Motor bike: Min. 135cm - Max. 196cm

Guests must be at least 135cm to ride.

The maximum height to ride is 196cm.

No sidecars?. Ouch. That's going to hit families big time. This is one of those coasters you could do as a family with a little one who could meet the rider requirements. Was always a good ride cause you get those two onride photos.

I hope this is temporary.

Just replace it with some iPad's, she'll be right.

Not gonna lie, watching @AlexB squeeze into a sidecar, because the bike seats are down and the grouper couldn't count, will forever make me giggle

Actually, it was a lot roomier than it looks - lots of legroom, and super comfortable. If i'm honest, i'd probably prefer the sidecar to the bikes as the leg position on the bikes is just uncomfortable.

New restraints?

Yeah, the joke was on the two skinny guys at the end because their ride on the bike seats were uncomfortable as all hell.

They need to eat something - they're all skin and bones.

Honestly... I agree with this. I much prefer the sidecar lol

When I was there sidecars were available but it appears they are limited to guests below 135cm.

Single rider was presumably closed to allow for social distancing.

Hmm is this a function of COVID  processes or will this be only a temporary change do we think?
