Seems like you could even get a concussion.
Now That’s a Ride!
if they cant break bones, they aint worth ridin
A skydiver gets up to 120 MPH in freefall. 112 mph in 2 seconds is pretty impressive.
[[the quick acceleration could be responsible. The ride reaches 112 mph in 1.56 seconds.]]
Can’t be it- (/s) more likely when they are strapping themselves in
why would anyone want to experience this? makes no sense.
“0 to 112 mph in less than two seconds”
If true, that’s one mind-blowingly fast ride.
And in before someone says, “This is a problem of the unvaccinated.”
I’ve accelerated at about this rate on a catapult off of a U.S. aircraft carrier and it was super smooth and in fact quite exhilarating. Before I did so I spoke with the catapult operator who explained that it’s not just the total rate of acceleration, it’s how you apply it. You have to use some pretty serious science to make the rate of acceleration constant over the two or three seconds so you don’t snap the pilots’ or the passengers’ necks. Unfortunately for the designers of this ride, the last Japanese carrier was decommissioned in 1945.

Heck, my old ‘73 TR6 was faster than that. LOL.
The bunch of jam tarts!
Go ahead, fellas - I’ll be in the bar.
The coaster looks pretty mild except for the starting acceleration.
Put Bidet on it.
And in before someone says, “This is a problem of the unvaccinated.”
Lol - and in before some asks “did they get the vax?”
This ride reminds me of a amusement park ride we had at one of the parks by the Pitts. International Airport. It was called the Wild Mouse, although not nearly as fast as this ride it jerked you around so violently that back pains and chiropractic visits were common. The park has long been closed, and that’s a good thing.
Whiplashes to the rubberneckers
