I will be 74 when I cruise on that ship and I want to get on that coaster real bad. They better not limit the age. My cruise concealer who is in her 40s wants no part of it. My wife is a maybe. Others I talked to about it think I am crazy. May be. I will not go on it only once either. I hope it scares the beegees out of me. I can use a bit of excitement in my later years. Personally, I loved the old wooden coasters. Shook and seamed like they were always ready to fall apart. The noise they made. remember the click, click, click while climbing for that first drop. This one I am sure will be very quiet except for the wind and someone behind you screaming. I love it. How about you? Ive been to dozens of theme parks and probably rode over 100 roller coasters in my life and ive never seen an age limit. I don't even think that's legal. They do the whole "don't ride if you are pregnant or have heart problems" but that's kinda common knowledge. I'm hoping there's no height or weight restrictions because I'm 6ft5 and over 300 but I went on the sky bike on the Vista with zero problems so we'll see. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maritime law and laws in Panama and the Bahamas are very different than those in the United States. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think Bolt is going to be much of a thrill ride for serious coaster enthusiasts. Favorite coasters is subjective, but I always end up comparing every coaster I ride on to Kingda Ka, which is still my favorite coaster. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it definitely won't be the most extreme ride out there. but that's ok. I enjoy many coasters out there that aren't among the tallest and fastest. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fine print says a minimum of 43 inches and a maximum of 76 inches. Didn't see any mention of weight. Edited May 30 by tandemcruzr Spelling 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy many coasters out there that aren't among the tallest and fastest. The attraction will be the novelty of being on (above) the deck of a cruise ship. But I feel like, for me at least, that novelty will wear off after one or two rides. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorncroft #38 Posted May 30 Top speed is supposedly around 40 mph. The rider can control the speed to a small degree. It's basically like a little motorcycle on a monorail. It's not exactly a rollercoaster like what you might be familiar with. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kingda Ka is good but Nitro and El Toro are both better imo 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoasterGuy #40 Posted June 6 I highly doubt there will be a set weight restriction. It's simply a matter of whether your body will allow the restraints to close. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
