    Do you realize that it is already under construction? I mean, the'll probably add alot of security "things" that are not yet there when the pic was taken...

    That thing looks like an accident just waiting to happen, does everyone need to fill a form of blabla before using it?
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Must be a weightlimit both for upper cap and lower so you aren't to heavy you won't get up the second hill or too light so you fly of the second hill.

    There seems to be a complete lack of comprehension of basic physics in this thread. There's *no* way you'd fly off of the thing.

    Obviously they're gonna make sure it's completely safe before it's available to the public, I highly doubt you're going to be able to just fly off the edge and die when it's finished lol... You don't say "I'm gonna make the biggest water slide in the world" without having people quadruple check that it's safe.

    There's a waterpark just outside the city where I live with a 72ft free fall slide. I couldn't imagine climbing the stairs to one that is twice that. Oh and you're supposed to cross your legs when you slide down IIRC. Can't say I recall any enema-like experiences when I forget to, but my balls hurt. I suppose a woman could get quite a good douching with it though. And the water when it's level is plenty enough to slow you down.

    Hell yes!
    But then I found it fun to jump out of a perfectly good airplane at 15k Foot the first time I flew.

    If it was floating in the middle of a lake, then yes.

    And this is coming from someone who knows nothing apart from the basics of swimming.

    Otherwise, F dat thing.

    Aww the Superman is nothing! I love that ride, the only good one Darien Lake even really has!

    Maybe not for a static object, then you put some stupid person there and you might get suprised.

    The reason we think people could fly off is because of the second hill. You would need to be at the perfect speed to make it over the hill. If youre going too fast, you would launch off of it. If youre going too slow you wouldnt make it up the hill and someone else would hit you as they come down

    Do you think this is a freefall ride?
