ParkFans Thread Roundup - Confirmed | First Line of Sight | Second Line of Sight

I hope it's to fix the fact that it became incredibly slippery in that area when it rained.

I hope it's to fix the fact that it became incredibly slippery in that area when it rained.

Also, the bright colors showed dirt very easily. To be honest, I think the park should keep the star unpainted. I think painting concrete should be limited to the textured or printed styles. It just seems excessive on normal concrete, especially when the concrete under it is already different colors.

In case anyone wants to know, the seats on Tempesto are smaller than the ones on the original SkyRocket in Kennywood.

Tempesto’s plaza being Excavated.

Recently, on the “snap map” somebody found Tempesto’s plaza being excavated. This could be piping, electrical, an extremely slim chance of paving. I don’t really think it has any correlation to Madrid, but who knows? There’s a “Pattern Stamped Concrete” truck in the back, but I think they’ve dug too deep for it to be paving.

 

[Coaster Takes]

Thanks for placing it in the correct place. I completely overlooked the attraction subforum.

Finally, a second exit path from Festa!

You think?

I think that was sarcasm... XD

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this is the least accommodating coaster in all of BGW (besides Grover) correct? I am 6'3 313 42-44 waist, imagine I need to lose about 25 pounds before I can hope to ride this.

 

[Glissade]

I can’t fit in the big boy seats on Alpengeist or Griffin. I’m not close on the test seat for InvadR. I have no problems on Pesto Sauce.

 

[CoasterAuditor]

^Well that’s interesting for some reason I heard it was really restrictive....

 

[Nicole]

Tempesto doesn’t have real over the shoulder restraints like Alpie and Griffon, so I think most people have fewer problems fitting in it. I suppose depending on body type it could be more difficult? It certainly is the hardest ride in the park to get in and out of, however,

 

[CoasterAuditor]

^I have definitely heard that before. I have not seen a Premier sky rocket train in person so I have no idea what to expect but I have heard actually physically entering the train is a hassle.

 

[Nicole]

Tempesto’s “comfort collars” make it particularly difficult.

 

[Zimmy]

I used to not fit in Alpie, Griffon, and several others. I could squeeze into Pesto, but it is just tight. There is next to no leg room and it is near impossible to get in and out of.

Not a problem for me, I don't have a desire to ride it anyway.

 

[PrincessArlenasDad]

Once in the seats I find them among the most comfortable coaster seats I've been on (yes, you can debate whether the ride is a coaster, but they ARE coaster seats).

Getting in and out of them, however, is quite an ordeal, between those comfort colors and complete lack of room between rows.

 

[sereniv]

im 5'3" and 115 lbs and trying to get out of tempesto's seats feels like my foot is caught in a trap because of the little black part they have at the bottom of the seats. but yes, they are quite comfortable once you finally get settled in!

 

[CoasterAuditor]

Got on this ride no issues today at all (note this means that the lap bar sensors gave the green light not the physical act of getting on the train which HOLY CRAP that is not enjoyable). I actually had my comfort collars buckle screw up during my first ride and came flying off on the launch up the tower to the inversion. Luckily I’m aware of other sky rockets not having the comfort collar to keep myself from falling into a panic. I like Tempesto definitely a fun ride I really liked it in the back car.

That is incredibly stupid.
