It's too fast if I return to the station and all my clothes have been ripped off my body. I think that's the limit for me.-----------------

I got a B&M T-shirt!
Just because you're back to the station with clothing missing doesn't mean your face will still be there ;)
For those who think there's a limit, I've two words for you, Magnetic Levitation.
The Reverse Freefalls have windshields. I'd say to exceed Mach 1, the cars would have to be fully enclosed, like the Stratosphere ones. That would detract from the experience. Driving a car is so tame compared to coasters at the same speed!
Dale, I get your drift. 4D's could do that - rotate the seats back 180 degrees so that you're braking like on a Shuttle coaster, only inverted! Only thing is the seats would break off! Bad joke. ;)
I like to think of Bullet Trains as the world's fastest rollercoasters. The TGV in France and Shinkansen in Japan. Both have banked corners & cruise around 200mph! You can see the lastest Shinkansen here; www.railway-technology.com/projects/shinkansen Is that aerodynamic or what? I would love to ride one, have a need for speed. It would be awesome to watch the countryside flash past at 300ft per second!
I'm sure Peabody, nasai & others have been on them. Guys, you wanna tell us what it's like to ride 'em?
