Shortly after the Valenica park launches its year-round schedule Jan. 1, it aims to open the world’s tallest pendulum ride: a 172-foot-tall attraction called CraZanity. The giant swinging disc will hold 40 riders and will reach speeds of 75 miles per hour.
...
The pendulum ride, which is designed to create the feeling of weightlessness at 17 stories off the ground, will join the lineup of 19 stomach-churning roller coasters and other attractions at the park. The new ride is scheduled to begin operating in late spring of 2018.
...
The planned attraction would surpass the current record holder, a 147-foot-tall pendulum ride at a theme park called Tusenfryd in Norway.

My crazy fast days are long gone and over with.
Isn’t now 1 Flag, after giving in to the Alt-Left?
Agreed. I prefer sitting back now with a drink and watching the young be daring.

When it works, it makes you sick.
When it doesn’t, it’s a trebuchet, and you are the payload.
I’d check that none of the ride operators are Islamists.
I can handle the more tame roller-coasters, but the one’s the go in loops, give me gravity sickness.
Just like what my cousin Mike did to me when I was seven.
He called it “Astronaut Training”.
He’d let go of my feet and yell,
“Hit the parachutes, John Glenn!”
Ditto. In a younger iteration of myself, I was stuck at the top of the Viper rollercoaster at 6 Flags, Valencia. I am afraid of heights and had to use the catwalk and then stairs to the bottom. Not easy for me.
Still six flags, only now one is white.
They’ll just replace the Confederate flag with a rainbow flag and it’s all good /s
Boring....
Seems pretty tame compared to riding in a Huey under fire.
I will never take my family to a 6 Flags, ever.
They picked their side, and it is not my side.
They are dead to me.
I stop at the Cyclone.
It’s not white, it’s yellow.
Bless you bro.
Magic Mountain in Valencia is tops for roller coaster fans. The big coasters are fun, smooth and thrilling.
For non-roller coaster nerds, Magic Mountain is a trashy place for youngsters who steal from the gift shop and walk around in packs.
Knotts has ghost town, Disneyland has Main Street and Magic Mountain just has roller coasters. Presently it is 109º in Valencia.
