No, I would not do that.  Just going to the top of that thing and staring over the edge gives me vertigo.  I did the shoot you up in the air thing and it was pretty meh.  The stratosphere is such a dump it makes me kind of scared that they don't use the world's best engineers and junk too.

they wouldn't have a choice, the insurance companies wouldn't let them skimp on the enginero's of the project.

Sure why not.

PS - I am a giant pussy when it comes to heights/ledges, but that's where the rush comes from.

I always thought this free fall thing looked pretty scary.  I would be afraid I would somehow miss the net...

Would definitely do it.  Would also pay.  Would be scary, but fantastic.

Sad thing is, this isn't really a free fall.

Problem is once you get a big park with a lot of people (> 3000) the game runs terrible, even on my elite computer.  Also, RCT1 always pissed me off because they had like an arbitrary limit of 5000 guests.
