Looks fun

0 - 134mph in 2.5 seconds

 

[Maccy]

I'd definitely have to visit that!

 

[wez130]

hmmm, that's a tad fast. That'll rip your face off surely?

Images of Jeremy Clarkson in that convertible super car with his cheeks rippling comes to mind!

 

[Simmz]

Anyone who wants a face lift should visit

whats an f1 car take to hit 100?

 

[Jonny69]

No idea but a top fuel dragster can hit 100mph in under a second. They are pushing 280+mph in 2.5 seconds

This ride looks awesome

whats an f1 car take to hit 100?

according to wiki

0 to 200 km/h (124 mph): 3.8 seconds

for the 2006 Renault R26

 

[Greebo]

F1: 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph): 3.8 seconds

So its miles faster

 

[Rroff]

I went on stealth when they had it rigged for 0-82MPH in 1.8 seconds (normally 2.5 I think) and that was pretty rough - 0-130+ in 2.5 would be a bit extreme.

 

[jr1104]

Imagine hitting a fly while accelerating like that, it would go through your face.

 

[Rroff]

Thats why you don't sit on the front hehe

 

[Heliospherez]

As would the saliva from the person in front (as their mouth gets blown open) - if you sit behind the guy in front

There's a lot of things they need to make sure the are OK from a safety perspective first - as this has the potential to end abruptly if they don't cover their backsides well enough.

Thats serious speed - with serious G's. Any more than that and there is the potential to cause some spinal injuries and cerebral problems if the riders aren't harnessed properly or have underlying medical conditions. And if there's a problem - stopping quickly at top speed probably isn't an easy option.

Blimey that looks mental

it takes stealth over 100m to run off the speed safely...

Not really.

134mph x 1.6 = 214.4kph = 214,400 metres

214,400 / 3600 = 59.55 m/s

59.55m/s / 2.5s = 23.82 m/s^2

23.82m/s^2 / 9.81m/s^2 = 2.43g

Not serious if your a jet pilot, but way more than normal people will have ever experienced.

Rita Queen of speed at Alton towers is quick...but not like this bad boy, I wanna go.

So soon we'll have 2 reasons to visit the 'ring,
