| Second highest ride in Canada, 218 feet
http://www.pne.ca/playland/rides-gam.../new-ride.html Quote: |
The ride of the season? A thrill seeker's dream? The estranged older cousin of the Wave Swinger? Yes it's true, we've got a new ride, and we think you're gonna love it! That is of course if your preference is for rides that swing 360°, while going 70km/hr, at 218 feet high! Did we mention that it will be Playland's tallest ride offering unparalleled panoramic views of the entire city? (if you can keep your eyes open long enough to focus!)

Looks so sketchy to me. Sure, sitting in a swing at like 20ft is fine, but 218? I dunno man. I'll probably swallow my words and do it anyway to look brave in front of my gf.

218 ft in the air, going 70km/h??
Maybe some potential... But Coaster will still be the best.
Btw, the new ride looks like it only has 12 swings... so the intake per session is only 12?!?
It's going to take forever to get people through.

I'm going to wait a bit and see how many accidents happen before trying this.
