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.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
