Too painful for a chick?

My girlfriend is a cry baby type. Do you think she will complain constantly about pain after riding this?

If so, I'll just ride alone to avoid that. I'm already going to go alone on Mantis for that reason. Any other rides to worry about?

Re: Too painful for a chick?

Keep her off the two wood coasters, especially Mean Streak. They are rickedy and rough, most people enjoy that, clearly your girlfriend does not.

Maverick is really smooth, except for the 2nd Stengel dive where there is a moment where you might snap your neck a little. However if you keep your head straight (no bending to any side) you should be good.

Corkscrew has some head banging, wouldnt take her on that either.

Mantis is more of a problem for us men then women due to some anatomical differences, I really think you would be ok there.

As for general things, if she isnt a big fan of forces, stay towards the front on any coaster, its always more forceful (and "rough") in the back.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't allow any of my barnyard animals to ride Maverick.

Re: Too painful for a chick?

I would say to have her ride in the middle of the coasters. The back on any coaster is way too rough. And personally the fronte seat is too much wind in the face. But the middle is pretty much a safe bet.

Tell her to tough it out or you'll ride with [point at some attractive female]. That'll teach her.

Re: Too painful for a chick?

That's a great idea Holcomb.

Re: Too painful for a chick?

Just tell her, "My other girlfriend will ride anything" . . .

Maverick is not THAT rough. i mean its so so ya dig?

Re: Too painful for a chick?

^^ Thats a nice way to get a slap in the face after the question, "And who is this other girlfriend you're talking about?!?!?"

Anyways Maverick is not rough compared to Mean Streak just ride in the front and you'll be fine.

Re: Too painful for a chick?

Maverick isn't horrible at all. Its so smooth. But I suggest not taking her on mean streak, it hurts in places it shouldnt for a woman. Some know what I'm talking about if your a woman and have ridden that and blue streak...ouch!

Maverick is smooth but you hit your head a lot on the OSTR's if you sit in the back. Thats what I meant to say.

Re: Too painful for a chick?

Tell her to take some extra vitamin D and orange juice to reduce bruising and possible breaking of bones.

Any steel coaster is "fine". It's those wooden ones that scare me.

It is all about the "turning with the coaster" thing though. I swear if your like they are in the movie Cool Runnings with John Candy when they are in the bathtub like "turn 1...turn 2....turn 3" you will be fine. I kind of have a "turn with the coaster" method. But if you hand in there like a noodle you might get bounced around.

Re: Too painful for a chick?

Anything with wood either supporting it or the actual track itself. Also, it really depends on your size. How big is she?

Re: Too painful for a chick?

I never have problems with Maverick. Just gotta know how to lean in with the turns.

Re: Too painful for a chick?

^^^ Caleb you might wanna re-word that lol. And every wood coaster at CP is rough, but I wouldnt say every one. Eltoro, and tons of others by gravity group and I think GCI are perfectly smooth.
