I'm a roller coaster fan, but obviously can't just fly all around the world to sample various roller coasters. I have noticed a lot of the 'insane' coaster are in Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan).
Question: How many of you guys have no problem riding a ride like this?
considering how much I trust Chinese engineering and manufacturing, NOPE
It was built by S&S Technologies out of Logan, Utah. A lot of the Chinese Roller coasters are either built by American or Dutch firms.Originally Posted by NAPOTS
Would ride. I like me some coasters.

I'm surprised people don't lose their shoes on that thing.
I'd say they do lose shoes now and then, as well as their cookies.
As a random aside, for some reason people ALWAYS lose their shoes when hit by a car.
I can imagine they have a no flip-flop policy on that ride!
Imagine the VERTIGO and what that would bring on that thing!
And they call the jet that flies the astronauts (and others) to test weightlessness the "Vomit Comet"! This would be worse!

40 years ago, HELL YEA i'd ride that that thing.
There weren't any of these cool rides around back then, so i resorted to hang gliding and motorcycle racing for my adrenaline rushes, both of those left scars and aches and pains that plague me more and more as I get older
I used to love the "butterflies in the stomach" feeling you'd get in those few seconds of weightlessness after you'd push the nose of the kite up into a stall, it took a lot of practice to control the urge to barf.
About 10 years ago I would have. Now days anything that goes in a circular motion makes me sick, very odd, it will make me feel nauseated for hours afterwards. I can barely ride plain ol' roller coasters that go up and down now days.
