    Would you go on this ride?

    You had better be healthy just to climb to the top. If that doesn't kill you, the drop just might.

    For one, I'd better develop sexy legs and calves climbing those stairs

    Never. I absolutely hate heights. I would rather sing (can't carry a tune in a bucket) in front of a room full of people. I kind of think I would pass out if I did something like this. I once rode a roller coaster, I was white as a sheet and had trouble walking after. I don't know why this is considered fun?

    It's scary the way they promoted it but after seeing a video of a girl trying it out, it's no longer as scary. Yes, I will try it!!!

    I tried to find a video of somebody riding it, but couldn't find any. I will go on a roller coaster, but going down a slide with no large sides in something that can get airborn in a wind, tells me that I'm not that insane.

    The first station of something is in Italy. 59,07 km maybe her hour. That's pretty fast. It's about 37 mph.

    At #4, it's 105 km. Maybe not as big of a deal on the drop. Something about 9 meters higher than the one in Italy. They say something about free fall I think when the girl is going down the slide. I think they compare it to a space shuttle. 71,50 km/hr or 44 mph.

    On #3, 65 km. She says she has so much anxiety before going down the tube. I guess something wasn't functioning and they couldn't get her speed. It came out to be about 59 km/hr.

    For #2, she looks at it and says "I can't do that. I can't go on that." I think she says "we can forget that" right after. After talking about her knee, she's like "I'm going home."

    I think it's a common theme for these to be like 50 meters high. They're saying #2 in Brazil is the highest in the world. Something about never having liked this. #2 was 85 km/hr or about 53 mph.

    #1 is 52 meters high. 80 km/hr.

    Is there a native speaker who can help me out? Lol

    Oh wow thanks for that! I actually didn't want to know the numbers because knowing only makes it scarier.
