Have you ever wondered just how far rollercoaster’s will go with thier thrills?? Will they be going 400km’s an hour in little plastic pods? Will they include Jumps? Will 3 out of 10 people vomit every time because they reach G-Forces of 6 in the positive and negative directions?
Well, I think that the latest ride at Movieworld (the Superman Escape) takes it that little bit closer to rollercoaster insanity. The ride goes from 0 to 100 kms an hour in 2 seconds! That’s some serious acceleration! But we all know that its not just about speed, its about height, and how close they can go to throwing you out of the little carts you are sitting in! Superman goes darn close, including a mound that goes up thirteen stories and drops off pretty much as if you were riding a golf buggy down a cliff face!
You will find some pics below of the experience….
It turns out that going to Movieworld is alot more fun than getting fillings at the dentist (you will have to get Hayley to tell you about that one).
Also, for your interest, checkout the Kingda Ka


That doesn’t look very high!!!!!
Stop whinging abouting nothing!
Man that is way cool I would love to hop on that ride. Did you go on the Claw. That one goes prety fast and if you have tonnes of stuff in your stomach don’t expect it to not complain.
Ok Hayley, to start with, you were the one on the ground taking the photo.. so dont you doubt the height until youve had the fright!
And Mr Belief, the claw aint at Movieworld.. but the scooby doo ride is, which is also very awsome! …
I have already got his biography on my bookshelf.. awsome fellow.. He inspired my dad to become a preacher .. well he was one of the things..
Cool. I am blown away at just how well he must have delivered sermons. You probably know this one but just in case One time Benjamin Franklin attended one of George Whitefields rallies and knowing that there would be an offering taken up for the Orphans he emptied all his pockets of money. Yet when Whitefield sent out the plea for the orphans Benjamin borrowed money off a complete stranger to contribute money. He must have certainly had a way with words.
