That drop will probably be more painful than it would be thrilling. That 97 degree drop will deffinity give you major whip lash. Ouch!!!:(:):(:):(

Considering that this isn't the first one in the world, and the other one hasn't snapped any necks, I'm sure everything is just fine with it.

I rode it yesterday. It's a very good ride.
The air time on the first hill is absolutely insane.
My full trip report will follow later tonight (have to go to work...).
Ah! Another place I recognised your name from! LOL - Was indeed a great day! I *do not* have to work today! Put a vid & few pics online from yesterday (includes pics of Mr Bannister before his dash to the canteen!) - feeling any better yet? ;-) LOL
Good to meet ya anyhow!, Look forward to it again sometime!
All the best,
