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...

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.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
