Calling all Adrenaline Junkies!

Oh HELL YES! Sign me up for this one. .... well after they get the rip your arms and legs thing fixed. The video clip is great!

A theme park in London is set to debut a powerful new winged roller coaster this month, but only after first figuring out how not to dismember its riders. Time reports that Thorpe Park has been conducting test runs of its new coaster, the Swarm, even enlisting fighter pilots who described the ride as "gut-wrenching."

The self-described "flight through apocalyptic devastation on Europe's tallest winged rollercoaster" propels up to 28 riders at a time with their arms and legs dangling freely at 62 miles per hour and includes trips through an inverted 127-foot drop and several close encounters with walled structures that are designed to make passengers feel like they are about to crash.

You and your brothers must give it a try when it does and report back.

I know! I would have no problem making that a nice weekend trip...just for that.


Hopefully they would put one up near a major airport and not out in the middle of nowhere!

Actually, why not talk her into getting one of those cameras you can wear on your head and post a video riding it?

Yea.... he reminded me that, last time he took me on a coaster - I managed to knock myself out and lost 4 months memory... But..... he's up for it..... and thinks he can get his hands on a decent helmet cam.

Eventually, yea. I did a thread about it a while back. I got off the ride and passed out.

[Oddball]

Definitely pretty cool.

But I like to be in the driver's seat for my adrenaline fixes.

Part of what makes it so cool... is the out of control part.

The "trip" will cost you $300 due to the liability insurance they'll need to have.
