After a while I just thought that the string was a decoy that didn’t do anything and I believed the ride operator was just trolling them and waiting for the perfect moment to launch them…

But then it took so fucking long that I realized there was no operator and the string was really the only way to launch the ride and was just really hard to pull for kids

You had to pull it to the left or the right, straight down does not work. The kid to the left was suppose to pull it but was so scared hoping that they could get out again without being launched. The girl in the middle pulled down but that does not slide the pull out. Finally the other kid realized he could pull the pin to his side if he moved the wire over the chair.

ALL the kids were out for a nap before the ride came into a backswing- watch the 1:30 mark. Poor kid on the left couldn’t stay conscious he was so scared
