You could not PAY me to ride this...

I live about half an hour from there. I've never been on that one but a couple years ago my friends talked me into going on Nitro. I felt like I was choking and it almost gave me a panic attack. Don't think I'll be doing that again. (I used to be able to handle roller coasters better; even some of the looping ones, but the really tall/fast extreme ones I just can't do. We had two kids with us for part of the day that day, and the rest of the group wanted to go on the Batman coaster; the 10-year-old was tall enough to do it, so I volunteered to take the 5-year-old to Bugs Bunny Land while the rest of them went on Batman.) I do like the wooden coasters better...Rolling Thunder was always my favorite at Great Adventure, and they have a newer wooden coaster that I wanted to go on when we were there but we didn't get over to that side of the park.

I'd ride it. This one, on the other hand, hell no:




Insanity the Ride is basically a "massive mechanical arm extending out 64 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower at a height of over 900 feet, this Vegas ride will spin you and several other passengers in the open air at speeds of up to three 'G's."

They did?! Aww.

Yep. And the renovation cost almost twice as much as the coaster did to build originally...

Well, maybe...if the check was good and had enough zeroes on it...

Not even under general anesthesia.

Yep, I'm a wuss.

Well if you have a low tolerance for G-forces, you could get your general anaesthesia and the ride in the same run.
