I saw these pics in the Kwaiti forum I am a member in (where are they? disney?). I wonder how we pay money to scream and feel the fear. but it is thrill for many people. It has been a long time since I last got to such thrilling games

They are nowhere but in someone's imagination. All the images are stamped Worth^1000.com, a site which is famous for "photoshopped" images (and contests to create them).

I wasn't sure if Lionking believed they were real or not...

It works for some people, and I am one of them.

The first time I rode on a similar ride was at Wonderland in Sydney (Australia) around 1994. It was the "Space Probe 7" ride. You went through a tunnel with vid screens telling you how there had been a contact with an alien probe. Then as you proceeded, you learnt how there had been no reply . Shortly after came the warning that the aliens probe was hostile, that contact with the Lunar Base had been lost, and that earth defence had been put on alert.

Then they told you you had to be "evacuated:", and put you into the ride. We went up the tower into a dome ringed with television screens. They told how the Earth was being attacked then suddenly you were told that an attack had occurred at the site, and power and been lost.

""Power failure to grav systems in 10, 9, 8, 7......" went the call. You were ready.

The bastard thing was they dropped you on 7.

Three hundred odd feet with a maglev braking at the end.

That first drop scared the **** out of me.

so they are not real

actually I believed them bcz some of my relatives went to Disney and described how scary the games was, particularly the high column that lifts you up on a seat then drops you. I thaught the bicycle in the pic was secured somehow. As for the planes, I had doubts in them. But that doesn't rule out the fascinating and fearful games there are
