Is there anything more predictable than what happens when an adult straps themselves into a ride made for young children? Like, what did anyone expect? Watching that thing strain it's like you can hear it saying "please, I wasn't built for this, and we all know it." The only time that clock should be showing is "time to leave."
People pass out on rides all the time, but they don't usually get any help. At least it's nice to have a decent friend who checks your pulse and makes sure you don't break your neck between your intermittent bouts of lucidity. Most of us have friends who would just laugh at us as we flop around.
When you're already getting a thing for free, you're not in a great position to demand everyone else change what time everyone leaves and then demand a free ride. Most people are pretty understanding, but the world is full of entitled morons who think the world was made for them.
These guys probably feel a bittersweet combination of fear, luck and crapped pants after nearly getting shot into the sky on a faulty slingshot ride. Reportedly, the woman recording the video had a bad feeling about the ride and declined going on. It looks like she made the right move.
Most videos of these kinds of rides feature people screaming until they throw up and pass out, but this one takes a different turn. After all that he's still got the audacity to say he took it like a champ. One ride on that slingshot thing is like 75 bucks so hopefully it was worth it.
When you have to wait in line for an hour to get on a ride, a line-cutting can turn into a fistfight. With a little forethought, this dad effectively got someone back for being a jackass, and left them with the ability to do absolutely nothing about it. What a dad move. Hot damn.
Jake & Dave set the record for most rides attempted on the Jurassic Park River Adventure within 12 hours at Universal Studios Hollywood. This was childhood dream of theirs that was finally completed in honor of Jurassic World opening June 12th.
The design for a new, 570-foot tall roller coaster called Skyscraper has been unveiled this week in Orlando, which, when complete, will be the tallest in the world.
The animated video shows the cars twisting around and making their way up a massive white tower before plummeting back down to earth at speeds up to 65mph.
And there's no "down time," says US Thrill Rides president Michael Kitchen, the company behind the project.
Construction will begin in 2015, and the ride is expected to open in 2017 as part of a new $200 million Skyplex entertainment complex.
The tallest roller coaster at present is Kingda Ka (456-feet tall) at Six Flags in New Jersey.
