RailRider Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Attached is a link regarding a amusement ride that was imagined in the 19th century, yet never built. Really interesting read. http://io9.com/5858945/dropping-1000-feet-inside-a-giant-bullet--the-most-bad+ass-amusement-park-ride-that-never-was Quote
kingsrattler Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 My favorite part.... mattresses were supposed to slow the decent. Drop Tower, brought to you by Serta. 1 Quote

HTCO Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Good thing no one actually attempted to build and/or ride the thing. I can see it now. "I'm so sorry for your loss. How did Billy die?" "His friend built this huge bullet, dropped it 1000 feet, into a huge mattress. As a prototype theme park attraction." "Oh...." Quote
coaster_junky Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 ^if that's the way those people would have perished, could you imagine what the general public's stories would be? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 and I have trouble forcing my-self to ride Drop Tower! Quote
westcoaster Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 This ride could be built maybe as a water park attraction, Built to resemble a huge super soaker ~~~ ha ha, Looks fun, wonder if they really could build this!!! Quote
KIBeast Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I could see myself riding this one! A little danger makes it more appealing to me. Quote
KILateNighter Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Wasn't this supposed to be a big fall too? http://img847.images...u61tr9i22pn.jpg 1 Quote
