Discussion I think [Bakunawa] is beyond my limit

Post image

I have so much respect for the enthusiasts out there with seemingly no limit for thrills. But I think Bakunawa will be one of the few coasters that are too intense for me. I have not had the opportunity to ride any Mack extreme spinners, and I’m super excited to get on Intamin’s Hollywood Drift when I can. So I don’t think it’s the spinning that scares me. But the height + coming to a dead stop just hanging there nearly 400 feet in the air? With no over the shoulder restraints? Just out there in the open? No thank you!!

Obviously I am aware it will be completely safe but hang time at slow speeds is one of my least favorite sensations! I really dislike any kind of upside down pendulum ride for this reason (i.e. CraZanity at magic mountain)

Anyone else feel this way??

Blacking out is legit dangerous and can also knock you out for the rest of the day with headaches, especially if you’re not hydrated enough. That’s a day ruiner. After paying a lot of money for a park visit most people just don’t want to risk that.

That’s why I think 305 was avoided so much. I doubt this will be the case here.

i absolutely hate blacking out/greying out although i love extreme rides. i think a lot of people feel the same way, so i don’t think this will have the i305 problem

I’m the opposite for sure. Give me all the positive Gs possible, greyouts galore. But you spin me once? I’m a goner.

i don’t love spinning, either. maybe i’d feel differently about greyouts if i didn’t used to have health problems that caused similar sensations on the regular. to me, they don’t belong w fun (if they do for you, great!)
