New underpants please.

Some of you reading probably wouldn’t go near a rollercoaster for love nor money, but for the thrill-seekers among you, there’s a new item to add to the bucket list. A new rollercoaster named Valravn (a supernatural raven in Danish folklore, apparently) opens in Cedar Point in Ohio this weekend; the tallest, longest and fastest dive rollercoaster in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=90&v=ZEWkK0WJZjc Clip via Cedar Point After they’ve taken in the wonderful views of Lake Erie for about five seconds from the coaster’s highest point, those brave enough to take a ride on it will plunge 214 feet at 90 degrees and reach speeds of 75 miles per hour before coming to a stop approximately three minutes later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBdispVVE6s Clip via MLive Watching it is enough to give us the shivers, never mind actually experiencing it in real-life. Would you be mad enough to give it a go?
