Dang kids today get a 450-foot drop. I had to be happy with the Steel Phantom and its 228-foot drop. Get off my lawn.

This won't help convince you to ride it, but there will only be a lap harness instead of over the shoulder restraint. Extra thrill!

You must not be the type to skydive either.

Loved the Steel Phantom. Still one of the most fun coasters I've ridden. That first drop scared the shite out of me when I was 15.

This one doesn't have a 450 foot drop. That's a different ride called Sky Fall. This one doesn't really have a big drop. It weaves around the structure.

So let me get this straight......that thing is being built by Mango's tropical cafe in association with Perkins? Lol, for some reason that makes the idea of riding that thing much more terrifying for me.

the euthanasia coaster should be ready by 2018



The concept design of the layout begins with a steep-angled lift to the 510-metre (1,670 ft) (0.317 mile) top, which would take two minutes for the 24-passenger train to reach. From there, a 500-metre (1,600 ft) drop would take the train to 360 kilometres per hour (220 mph), close to its terminal velocity, before flattening out and speeding into the first of its seven slightly clothoid inversions. Each inversion would have a smaller diameter than the one before in order to maintain the lethal 10 g to passengers while the train loses speed. After a sharp right-hand turn the train would enter a straight, where unloading of corpses and loading of new passengers could take place.

The coaster design is drastically high. Its 510 m height would be enough to place it 10th in the list of tallest structures ever constructed, ahead of even the Petronas Towers.
