Would you go on it?



I would probably die of a heart attack if I did, so no.

That would be so scary. I'd just be spinning around trying to not focus on the ride somehow breaking and counting down the seconds until the ride stops. No way, Jose.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'd be too freaked out by the heights, on top of the fact I'd be scared the straps or chair would break, sending me plummeting.

I think it'd be cool. It didn't look that extreme... you're just high up. Then again, I was on the 35th floor in my hotel in LV (yay for Penthouse lol), so my balcony was pretty much more or less at that height.

Oh hell yeah. That looks so sick.

They have another ride on top of the hotel called the Big Shot that basically shoots you straight up another 150 feet or so. T'was extremely entertaining.

Nah. Heights don't bother me, and neither does spinning, but it doesn't seem worth it. My life> a few seconds of terror. I don't really find roller coasters etc that fun.
