There are a lot of perks to being an NBA player, being too tall at an amusement park is not one of them.
On Tuesday, a party for Washington season ticket holders was held at Six Flags America. Season ticket holders got to go on rides with the players and got autographs from all their favorite Wizards. There was one issue though…
Emeka Okafor, to the delight of employees and teammates, was deemed too tall to go on the Superman: Ride of Steel. Which really sucks, because the coaster is totally awesome. The 6-10 Okafor is going to have to content himself with the Coyote Creek Crazy Cars, which are fun for all ages, which means “fun for no one.”
Reader Andrew was there and notes that Okafor had already boarded the ride and was strapped in before staff took him off. The ordeal lasted 20 minutes, Andrew says. Poor Emeka.
Whelp, at least there are many other things Emeka can do instead of going to amusement parks for fun!
