PostFri Feb 11, 2005 7:17 pm    Check out this new ride (very very scary ride)

It's called insanity...

http://www.insanityride.com/

The ride is supposed to be on the Stratosphere tower here in Vegas and that tower is 1,000+ feet high.

So the ride basically spins you at whatever the speed they want. I think 10 people sit in a chair which is hanging like a spider claw and spins.

-Ride Height from Ground - 906 Feet
-Ride Height from Ride Base: 40 Feet
-Passenger Travel: 64 Feet maximum distance of passenger to Swinging Arm base
-Ride Speed: 40 Miles Per Hour
-Maximum 'G' Force: 3 'G's'
-Seat Capacity: 10 Passengers
-Passenger Restraints: Individual Restraints with 'Escape Proof' Redundant Ratcheting System
-Power System: Electric Motors

I get mild thrills from filling out questionnaires- Y would I need to go anywhere near a bio construction of a spider?
