Day 3, #15

This is my purchased picture from the ride. We were actually flying up that slim 'rod' at this point. The main tower itself is more than 1000 feet high. This open platform shoots you to the tip of the rod on top of the tower. You can't see ANYTHING below you. It was the biggest rush I've had in my life. Our heads are back because they warned us to hold them there for at least the initial shot. I imagine people get strained necks or bang their heads from the force otherwise.

The details of the ride are that it shoots you straight up at 45mpg and 4 G's from 921 feet up to 1081 high. Just take my word for it, it's a huge rush. :)
