Rollercoasters are just meh Sad I'd love it if it was just speed and heights, exhilaration, but it's all about packing as many gut-wrenching twists and turns in order to trigger nausea and discomfort. MEH.

Dam would not step foot on this behemoth.

isnt there a max lenght for a rollercoaster? The POV ride seems very long, say you get a heart attack after the first drop lol, thats a long time to be waiting for the ride to end.

Saw the video... worst POV ever. Bloody thing keeps switching from "POV" (which lasts all of 4 seconds at a time) to an external view Facepalm

People are so going to love that noise the rollercoaster will produce inside and it will take ages to get up for a short ride down. Doesn't seem to be much thought about emergencies so I pitty the people who will get stuck and the rescue workers. It will happen some day.

It will be a unique experience, tho I don't think it will rate with the best rollercoaster experiences.

It looks like you enter the ride mid tower and exit on the bottom, so the ride up shouldn't take that long.

The worst thing about roller coasters around where I live is the queue. Near the park closing you can get on a ride within minutes, but during the day it's not unusual to wait for an hour.

Ah I thought you'd start at the 'Mall complex' second floor. Well that would speed things up considerably then. Smile

And those damn queue's indeed...reason why I never went to amusement parks during the holiday season. Well except for when I worked at one, then I could just skip the line (and even skip the main entrance)

It looks awesome. The bigger, faster, longer, more g's the better. I bet it will cost a lot to ride.
