Buckled In

Nice overhead image of a mom and son riding the Flying Saucers. The belt reminds me of the restraining device for the Autopia.

That seating arrangement doesn't look comfortable for either of them. Look at how worn the blue surface has!

And now that you mention it, those must be the exact same seatbelts that were used on the Autopia, good eye.

What a great photo! I can't tell you HOW MUCH I miss that attraction!

Stunning to me to see how similar this looks to the new prototype that will be coming to California Adventure's Carsland in 2010. Flying Tires. It is exactly this ride.

And I can not wait.

I remember the flying saucers..it was probably my second trip, but the first one I remember.

I rode it just like this...remarkably uncomfortable and unforgettable.

thanks for this pic.
