From the OMFG Files...

This is the X-Scream at the Stratophere Tower. Topping out at over 1100 feet in the air, the Strat's tower is the tallest free-standing structure west of the Mississippi River. But that wasn't enough for ol' Stupek. They decided to put RIDES on TOP of that thing, and the X-Scream is the latest addition to the entertianment offerings up top. Appearantly, people PAY to get strapped into a wide-open bobsled style car that rides on a single rail. When you first get in, it's pointing skyward. But after it starts, the rail drastically slants downward, sending the bobsled down and out over the edge of the tower before abruptly stopping at the very tip. Now you're 1100 up with just a lap bar and strap keeping you in place. Can you say, "NO WAY IN HELL ARE YOU GETTING ME ON THAT THING!" Posted by Picasa
