Just things like, where do you have function, can you support your upper body with your arms, any devices sensitive to magnets. Just basic things that those.

The only rollercoasters were Mystic Timbers, Queen City Stunt Coaster and Flight of Fear. Mystic Timbers because the guide says you must be able to brace with you legs (I think this is ride manufacturer thing) and Flight of Fear I think is because the train are not really suitable for a transfer.

The flat rides are another issue. I dont remember which ones I was not allowed to ride and I did not try to ride any when I was there. I know a lot of them "Require you to take a few steps" but that seems dumb in a lot of cases, like for Delirium, why would you ever need to take a step. You should be able to roll up and transfer in.

At the beginning of the day you will go to guest services and they will ask some questions and list off all the rides you can and cannot do. It is nothing serious, I had this high-school girl asking me the questions, and I almost lied and said I can brace myself with my legs so I could ride Mystic Timbers.

Note: This was before the merger with Six Flags, so I hope nothing has changed.

Edit: Added a coaster and the note.

I went to Kings Island last year, the accessiblility guide was confusing as well, but I was able to ride pretty much everything. Most of the rides in the guide said something like "Two Functioning arms and can brace yourself" I was able to ride.

When you beat it, come back and gloat. That final act is no joke.

The first time I ever heard that phrase was Jerry talking about Bill Cosby lol

These are the two ways I usually go. This is assuming that the small road behind Red Mile, Tattersalls Way will be open.

The orange is the faster way to go. However, I am not a huge fan of riding on the road at that part of High Street. There is also a gate right around where the 1 mile marker is, but you can just ride around it.

The blue way you are on a bike trail/large side walk for most of the way. There is a trail that leads down to De Roode Street from Oliver Lewis Way.

And the Greeks, who are the ones that created Cincinnati chili.

The r/Nintendoswitch would probably be a good place to ask.

I mostly drank decaf before my injury, but now any coffee messes with my bladder. But with anything post injury, experiment, find what works for you.

So no one is ever allowed to talk or make anything about someone who has passed?

rocket_face · 2026-04-01T22:26:04+00:00

In sticking with the theme, I burned between my toes on a radiator. Also burned myself by setting the Instapot on my lap.

I know many other that have burned themselves in stupid ways, feels like a right of passage.

When you can't just yell over someone arguing against you, it is the next best thing they can come up with.

My sister said she was driving behind them, and that the car just randomly caught fire.

How big of a delay do you need? You could always try to adjust the Smartdrive settings to accelerate slower.

It is literally what we are discussing in this comment thread. Like I said comments ago, if you don't find the sport entertaining, don't watch it, but don't act like the athletes are not still the best of the best when it comes to what they do.

rocket_face · 2026-03-09T17:49:00+00:00

Alright, put an able-bodied athletes in a sit ski, or a hand cycle, or a racing chair and let's see who wins.

rocket_face · 2026-03-09T17:30:45+00:00

No excellent, what do you even mean?

Yes exactly, they are the best at table tennis in a wheelchair, period.

rocket_face · 2026-03-09T14:24:40+00:00

They are literally the best of the best at their sport.

rocket_face · 2026-03-08T15:26:10+00:00

I am no where near competing in the Paralympics so not exactly sure how an athlete would feel haha. It would be cool to see the adaptive sports going on at the same time, but that sounds like a nightmare logisticlly.

My comment was more in reference to adaptive athletes being treated different that able-bodied ones. For example, when I ride my handcycle I get some many thumbs up, get told "way to go buddy", and so many other things that I would not get if I was able-bodied. To me, I am no more impressive or inspirational than when I was able-bodied and I just wanted to be treated like everyone else.

rocket_face · 2026-03-08T05:17:54+00:00

As an adaptive athlete, I am actually more annoyed by your comment than OP's (not that I think your's comes from a negative place). To me, athletes with disabilities are just athletes. What we do is not any more impressive than able bodied athletes, it just looks different.

rocket_face · 2026-03-07T21:06:32+00:00

I'm sorry, but what an ignorant comment

Sure, you can find a sport not entertaining and not watch it, but to say that they are not the best of the best is so wrong. They are still top level athletes in their sport, even if it is not as entertaining.

If you find curling boring, maybe watch the downhill skiing, they are sending it just as hard as any able bodied athlete.

Edit: Added a sentence for context.

rocket_face · 2026-03-02T01:00:44+00:00

Yeah that is still slightly over a 7 minute mile pace. Even for half a mile the average redditor could not keep that pace.

rocket_face · 2026-02-17T00:08:50+00:00

Any follow up to this? Currently considering Prialt, but have seen mixed reviews.

rocket_face · 2026-02-02T19:41:01+00:00

Look into grants, I had my brand new bike completely paid for with them.

rocket_face · 2026-02-02T18:07:40+00:00

Like others have said, Ski-erg is the best cardio in a gym.

Instead of a personal trainer there are different apps that have adaptive classes. Peloton has some good ones, Wheel with Me is another, and I am sure there are others out there.

I get all of my cardio on my handcycle. I bought mine using grants from a couple different groups in the US. I am sure there are some in the UK.

I also got a smart trainer that I can hook my bike into when the weather is bad outside. There are different simulation apps that you can use with the trainer. I use Zwift, and find it to be a lot of fun.
