When the train is in position, the hydraulic launch mechanism accelerates the train from 0 to 128 miles per hour (0 to 206 km/h) in 3.5 seconds.[2] At the end of the launch track, the train climbs the main tower (or top hat) and rolls 90 degrees to the right before reaching a height of 456 feet (139 m).[3] The train then descends 418 feet (127 m) straight down through a 270-degree right-hand spiral. The train climbs the second hill of 129 feet (39 m), producing a moment of weightlessness before being smoothly brought to a stop by the magnetic brakes; it then makes a left-hand U-turn and enters the station. The ride lasts 28 seconds from the start of the launch

True, I spent a decent amount of time on the Sea King simlator at RNAS Culdrose when I was a kid and saw that you didn't even need to have the hydraulics on for the scenery to bugger up your balance after a while.

But again, you can do it in a sim - no need to build a roller-coaster....
It can be flying a Spitfire one day, the Red Arrows the next and a dragon the day after....
But you can't beat the thrill of thinking you might just fall out of the harness and die....

Unfortunately it's been so long since I've needed a good vent that I've now forgotten most of what I've picked up. The one that has bugged me the most because it would have come in handy on a few occaisions was a Mandarin one declaring someone's parentage to be an inbred drooling whore and a Dysenteric monkey. redface:

The more I think of it the more I can see the potential for one hell of an attraction for the adrenaline junkie brigade. Snake a glass slide around the top few floors of a bloody tall building but have the end of it facing away and into thin air. Strap on a parachute and go from extreme glass slide to base jump. Thumbs:
Could make an absolute fortune, just need to find somewhere with really tall skyscrapers and very relaxed 'elf and safety laws. rubschin:

The more I think of it the more I can see the potential for one hell of an attraction for the adrenaline junkie brigade. Snake a glass slide around the top few floors of a bloody tall building but have the end of it facing away and into thin air. Strap on a parachute and go from extreme glass slide to base jump.

Could make an absolute fortune, just need to find somewhere with really tall skyscrapers and very relaxed 'elf and safety laws. rubschin:

Precisely.
Two exhausting hours of falling off the bastard thing, climbing back on, hauling the sail out of the water with a rope that gives you blisters the size of the R101 and then falling off again... noooo:
And then, when you finally 'master' it and manage to balance on the bastard thing for more than 5 seconds the sail fills and takes you off in completely the wrong direction. Banghead

But I have a book called Sky Call (?) that I bought some *thinks* 35+ years ago when I was jumping every week which shows this happening...
Back then they had 'balloon suits' rather than wing suits that inflated after leaving the aircraft. They didn't have as much lift or control as the modern wing suits but the introduction of turbine powered aircraft to sky diving meant that the plane they jumped out of could dive vertically without over cooling the engine and the jumpers could 'fly' back into the plane 10,000 feet lower than they left it...

The Terror-Dactyl ride at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park in Manitou Springs, Colo., isn’t for the faint of heart, as brave riders will embark on an epic 200-foot free-fall drop into Williams Canyon. You’ll be hoisted up 200 feet on the edge of a cliff before being released to swing back and forth over the canyon floor at nearly 100 miles per hour.
200 foot free fall swinging over a canyon at around 100 miles an hour......
