Fahrenheit Roller Coaster Features 97 Degree Drop

All I got to say is, anyone of you that’s crazy enough to get on this thing, well you deserve whatever upchucking comes your way. Besides, I don’t need to be scared out of my mind and made to scream like a little girl to prove that I’m a wuss, I’ll freely admit to that, but if you need another reason to not try this out, get a load of this (from Popular Mechanics).

(Talking about the testing of the ride) First, engineers load the trains full of heavy water dummies, to figure out how the cars will behave when they’re at capacity. The rules say you need 100 hours of this testing, but engineers at the park said they would run over 1,000 rides before people got on the coaster.

Billed as the steepest and most severe roller coaster in the U.S. it’s 2 minutes long. For those of you insane, crazy, scare freaks out there, the rides been open since May, and if you’ve been on it, we want to hear about how scared you were. While we’re waiting here’s a video of the ride. I still ain’t getting on it.
