Knotts Berry Farm Trip (or Roller Coasters and Kilts)

[davedove]

Suspended coasters typically tuck you in pretty good, so there shouldn't be any problem. You're actually likely to have more of a problem in a regular seated coaster, but even then it shouldn't be an issue.

My main problem was due to the sporran. Because I'm a bit larger than average, there wasn't room for both me and the sporran.

Thanks for all the advice. Since I'll be wearing a Utilikilt, I won't have a sporan. I'm looking forward to a great day kilted!

I only live a few miles from there. If you'd like to plan a get together, send me a PM and we'll figure something out.

A bud & I - both kilted - did the Medusa at Six Flags in NJ and yes we did have a bit of a problem with our kilts flying up. the restraint on that coaster is a shoulder harness that pressed you down while you sit in a saddle seat - which is fine if you are in jeans but in a kilt can be a little problematic...

I will keep it short by saying we were very lucky that the folks at the photo booth at the end of the ride - where they try & get you to buy a copy of the pic they snapped of you mid-ride - were not quite as attentive as they should have been & we grabbed a copy of the pic & hauled pleats outta there as quickly as possible.

and yes i do still have a copy of that pic and NO i am NOT going to post it.

Sorry for the delay in writing back...... we ended up attending the park with a wonder 5-year-old so we didn't do as many coasters, but I did do the suspended coaster (which flips you upside down), and I just spread my legs before sitting, wedged the aprons in between my legs and the tiny seat, and sqeezed. I didn't feel any ...ummmm.... breezes where I shouldn't. All in all a fun day. . . . . And most of the comments I heard were very positive (including a 16 year old girl who said to her boyfriend "guys in skirts are soooooo hot," since this was a compliment, I decided not to tell her it was more polite to call it a kilt). I had a couple of people tell me about the highland games they play in, and one gentleman who said to his wife "He's wering his kilt, why wouldn't you let me where mine." The only sort of negative comment I heard was from said 5-year-olds mother who said "In the kilt and boots and the shades you look like like a huge bad-***" (mean while her son darted accross the entrence plaza when he saw me to give me a big hug)

All in all a great day!

Sounds like a great time!

Now, I'm no exhibitionist, but I'm not one to worry, either... I say, let the chips fall where they may.
