Schlitterbahn

[The Big Train]

Two short articles about the same thing. I want to ride this thing you guys. I also want to go skydiving, so yeah, bungie jumping is also something I want to do.  Don't be scared.

Somebody's going to die on that thing this year, right?

[jtksu]

eff that.   What keeps the riders in the raft and the raft in the slide?   I'll do it but I'm sure I'll second guess it many times during the climb up the stairs.

Probably good for business.  It's not really that scary if you can't die doing it.

How do you not die on that thing tho? Obviously good for business if you don't.

eff if I know.   Just saying a single death would bring in thrill seekers from around the world.   Two deaths would probably make them resort to scrapping it.

I do know a couple of the guys that do the SB work and even they are like

just looking at the thing, it seems like at the bottom of the huge drop people are just going to get their faces smashed in because it sends you right back up over another hill, with not much room to level out first. i mean, that's gotta hurt right?

I've always figured dying would be pretty painful.

it was fun seeing the top of the slide lost in the clouds a few weeks ago

[420seriouscat69]

I've been thinking about it, 'blast. They should probably have death row ppl try this thing out first. Thoughts?

Would be too afraid to ride.

I guess some people don't share your death wish.   Have fun and try to not land on any innocent bystanders as you plummet to your death.

Physics.

Physics?!  More like magic.

I think the fact that it's at the schlitterbahn makes it less appealing than the potential dangers of riding.

[star seed 7]

would ride and wouldn't even be worried about it.
