THE SWARM

This roller coaster could cost you and arm and a leg. It also pulls enough Gs to make fighter pilots sick. Gee, I can't wait!

Nothing like a little hype to get the juices of the gullible flowing.

No one will be seated after the first five minutes!

After watching the video I know what Snoopy feels like in his Sopwith Camel going after the Red Barron.

I love that fighter pilots were willing to ride on the new rollercoaster... AFTER it ripped the arms off of crash test dummies! Perhaps they made modifications between the two tests that weren't mentioned in the article?

Also, isn't Great Britain one of the biggest "Nanny States"?
