Who's got a ticket to France?... :)

Whats the big deal? Not exactly Earth shattering.

Texas Chute Out used to have standing "buckets" in which rides used to stand up and get dropped.

That looks like so much fun, I would defiantly ride that. How is that any different than riding Insanity? I know Insanity is different, but it is +~1000 feet up and a inward swinging ride.

I think it looks like a blast!! I'm assuming it's an upcharge ride so why not, no worse than Daredevil Dive or Slingshot. Do you get to flip while your up there? That would be even better.

That looks so awesome and scary. I'd ride it in a heart beat, after hesitation.

Wow, I'd be pretty scared to go on that. I'm pretty sure I still would but I'd be scared. And while on it, I would feel so unsafe.

it's a FunTime Star flyer, and if it operates like the rest, there is rapid rise and freefall motions of the carrage.

I know the regular chairs spin in the 40mph range, would assume that would be similar as it's built on the same ride.

Also that guy in the background on the ride wearing the wingsuit, wonder if you are provoded with one when you ride, if so, I really hope I come across it when I'm in Europe later this year. With a wingsuit at that speed, I bet I could do some strange stuff up there(same concept as flyers), probably make little kids on the ground start crying :)

I don't know if this helps, but Insanity is one of the rides on the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, that should help you find pictures at least.
