you get into a row of seats...of about...8 (i was in the middle, woot) anyway, you get taken up this high tower and you sit up the top for about 40 seconds, which feels like ages. and you're freaking out coz it's soooooo high....then you know when it's gonna fall, and you free fall so fast that you can't even scream. it comes to a stop and your stomach is in your throat. it's the strangest feeling in the world. and all you can do is laugh when you get off. it's amazing!!! ohh, it's making me tingle just thinking about it! haha...

Oh okay, so how high is that then? I've been to a similar one here but I didn't find them as thrilling as the insane rollercoasters! :D Gotta love the feeling of speed and G-Force! :woot: I think they're gonna have a new type of rollercoaster next summer where you are on your stomach in a pose that looks like you're Superman! :laugh: :shifty: :laugh: I can't wait to go try that!

I personally love loops :heart: I could go for an infinitive amount of loops and vertical twists on a rollercoaster, they're kick ass! :D Also, the best moments of a coaster is when it has reached it's first rise to the top and you start building speed as moving towards the ground at a great speed.. :cool: :woot: My friend was working at an amusement park last summer so I went to ride all the rides there for free when she had a day off! :D She got bored after a few hours but I insisted that we kept on going to the great rollercoaster there! LOL :D

The Giant Drop:

Fast facts

? Riders' legs dangle freely from the open air 8-seat gondolas.

? The Giant Drop shares the tower that supports the Tower of Terror.

? What's stopping you? A sophisticated magnetic braking system stops the gondolas metres from the ground.

? Free fall time is 5 seconds. The winch to the top takes approximately 90 seconds.

? Falling 120 metres is the equivalent of falling from a 39-storey building.

1. It's the tallest free fall ride in the world

2. It created structural design and construction history for rides of this type

3. The dual 8-seat gondolas were used for the first time on a ride of this height and design.

The Tower OF Terror!!

Definition of Terror

600 tonnes of steel

Plus 2.2 megawatts of power

Plus 160 kph

Plus 38 storeys

Plus 100 metre vertical free-fall backward

EQUALS

Tower of Terror

Tower of Power - Really Fast Facts

* The 2.2 megawatts of power used at take-off is enough to supply a small town and for these six seconds, Dreamworld's power usage in the park doubles.

* Riders experience 6.5 seconds of weightlessness.

* The 'L'-shaped track stretches 330 metres horizontally - or the equivalent of three football fields.

* The ride is propelled by electro-magnetic forces.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
