Also the designer thought up to 50% of New Yorkers would ride it… Because he is unaware that most adults have no interest in riding 100 foot drop coasters
I think the number of adults who’d want to ride a 100ft drop coaster, is higher than the number of adults who’d willingly travel to New Jersey.
Wow, that’s actually stupidly impressive for just being in a shopping mall. Like you’d only really need it to be a little bigger and it’d fit right in at a themepark
Lol, you’re not wrong. It’s at the American Dream Mall, which is like the second largest mall in the States. The mall has an indoor ski slope that covers like 4 acres. This ride is actually part of the Nickelodeon Universe theme park that’s also inside the mall (the NU park is about 8 acres). There’s also an 8 acre water park in the mall as well. Plus a 3000-seat performing arts venue. Plus a mini-golf course, laser tag, a human crane thing, a climbing gym, other stuff I can’t remember. That’s just the entertainment part, not counting the stores and food and stuff.
You know the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where they held the World Cup final? The American Dream Mall is like literally right across the road from MetLife. And the stadium is smaller.
I do remember hearing that there was a mall across from the MetLife stadium… didn’t realise that it was the 2nd biggest mall in the US with a literal themepark inside it!
Now I’m less impressed that there’s a roller-coast inside the mall, and more that anyone thought to make a mall so big it could fit that much inside it
from a standstill to 62.1 miles per hour (99.9 km/h) in two seconds
Reading that made my neck crack from the whiplash in my mind
Thats cool as hell, who wouldn’t ride it?
I went on the Balder in Sweden in 2005. At the time, it was the steepest wooden coaster in the world with a 70° drop. It was terrifying. I can’t imagine or understand who would want a 121° drop.
How can you have a drop more than 90 degrees?
Obtuse angle. If you’re going up, then suddenly going down, it can be more than 90 degrees. The starkest example would be a change from going up vertically to going down vertically, which would be a drop of 180 degrees. And would probably kill you.
Shit. I have to pick up OpenRCT2 sometime again.
Very high functioning.
