idk... Thats in New Jersey. If it was in Ohio or if they have the same restrictions as Ohio, then I would say yes.

I hope the Fredrick County Fair I will go to tomorrow, will have the Dutch Wheel, which look huge. http://www.reithoffershows.com/attracti ... .asp?ID=58 Have anyone here on this site been on this huge wheel made by Kroon?

I believe one of these had an accident where someone stood up and fell out, so it was probably mandated by Zierer that some type of belt had to be installed. That said, I can't see a belt in this one that was at Coney Island (it wasn't permanent, not sure who owned it):

Could have something like in the photo above, though.

Edit: nevermind, it does have the same thing in the post above me.

Haha Freddie, but is a great pic all the same. From the link I would take it that this one of your own pics from your archive. I have recently got the use of a decent SLR camera, I haven't had the chance to get it in a park yet but from the nature style pics I have managed to take I am hoping for some great shots in the future.

Thanks and yeah, that's my gallery. I would love an SLR but they're just too big for park stuff (especially taking on rides). I just used a basic Canon point and shoot (had full manual controls, though) although I broke it over the summer (on a ride of course) so I'm going to be needing a new one soon. Thinking about the Canon Powershot G11, but it's pricey.

It would be no good for on rides at all, but should be good while I have my daughter with me and only get to spend the time watching. Nemesis is a must for me to get some good pics of the train coming round the helix, it is an amazing experiance to behold feeling the train hurtle round. I could go waffle on and on about what I would like on film but will leave it there as we have kinda gone well off topic ;) hehe

Rollercoaster at BPB used to have no seatbelt or lapbar, some rides don't have the need for a restaint. It is the stupidity of someone being clever that warrants the need to hold a person into said rides.

Tig'rr at Indiana Beach used to be beltless too, but they added belts this year. There are a few older Wildmice rides that still don't have belts, and Leap the Dips doesn't have any either.

Same with the Whizzer, but it got seat belts a long time ago

Some have, some don't... So far I've ridden 2 of those.
1 on the fairground in Germany and the other one in Bakken. Both didn't have seatbelts. They're fun btw [:)]
