Seven most magnificent palaces in the world
The prestigious magazine Architectural Digest has published a ranking of the world's most beautiful palaces. Let us take a look at the buildings that topped this list
Free Fall Zone – Ohio, the United States
This crazy attraction rightfully ranks first in many ratings: a free fall from a hundred-meter height occurs unexpectedly, given that before that the platform has slowly risen up.
At the moment when it stops, you need to take a breath and get ready for a very fast descent. The challenge is not for the faint of heart!
АтZip World at Penrhyn Quarry – North Wales, the United Kingdom
This extreme attraction, constructed over the Penrhyn quarry, can claim the title of the most terrible in the world.
During the flight over the abyss from a height of several hundred meters, you can see a stunning view of the mountain scenery. The entertainment that the skydivers will like!
X-Scream – Las Vegas, the United States
Three dizzy attractions are located on the tower of the Stratosphere Las Vegas hotel-casino.
The first of them, the X-Scream trailer accelerates at first and then suddenly stops, hanging over the abyss at an altitude of 350 m. Adrenaline is just off the scale!
Insanity – Las Vegas, the United States
The Insanity carousel spins at a 300-meter height 20 meters from the edge of the Stratosphere Las Vegas hotel building, on which it is anchored.
The seats in the open booths are located in such a way that people fastened to the chairs can see the ground and scream with horror.
Big Shot – Las Vegas, the United States
You can feel like a passenger of a rocket when lifting on the Big Shot attraction to the top of the sightseeing tower of the Stratosphere Las Vegas hotel.
Next comes the nerve-wracking descent with a 4G acceleration. Thrills are guaranteed.
Kingda Ka – New Jersey, the United States
Welcome to the highest and second fastest roller coaster in the world, the Kingda Ka attraction in Jackson.
Moving almost at a right angle, the trolleys with a frenzied speed rise to a height of 140 m, and then, zigzagging, swiftly go down. The heartbeat of passengers is restored already on the ground.
Sling Shot – Ayia Napa, Cyprus
Flying like a bullet from the Sling Shot attraction, visitors of the Cyprus amusement park climb to the height of the 15-story building for just a couple of seconds, and then quickly fall down, several times in a row.
And although the views that open at such a height are simply stunning, there is no time to enjoy them.
Edge Walk – Toronto, Canada
This attraction allows you to walk along the parapet of the CN Tower in Toronto which is 356 m high.
There are no barriers, no handrails, one should rely only on the safety belt with a rope. Half an hour of exciting emotions is provided!
Takabisha – Fujiyoshida, Japan
Takabisha, a roller coaster in the park of Fuji-Q Highland, has the biggest angle of descent, thanks to which you can experience the feeling of absolute weightlessness. The trip at an altitude of 43 m lasts about two minutes.
On another attraction, Dodonpa, the trains accelerate to 172 km/h, giving to the passengers a minute of inexpressible feelings.
Shweeb – Rotorua, New Zealand
In New Zealand's Agroventures Adventure Park, there is an attraction that can well become a worthy alternative to modern types of urban transport.
You need to regulate the speed of movement on the Shweeb monorail road diligently turning the pedals in a single capsule.
White Cyclone – Kuwana, Japan
Japanese White Cyclone, located in the Nagashima Spa Land amusement park, is on the list of the longest roller coaster in the world: the length of the route, including spiral descents and ascents, is 1.7 km.
From a distance, it may seem that the structure of the attraction will not withstand significant overloads, but these fears are in vain: White Cyclone is as reliable as attractions made of steel and iron.
Formula Rossa – Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates
You can become a Formula One pilot at the fastest of all roller coasters in the Ferrari World theme park.
Because of the huge speed that the trolley reach, you can get "behind the wheel" only in special glasses.
Giant Canyon Swing – Colorado, the United States
At the very edge of the 400-meter cliff, there is the Giant Canyon Swing attraction. The construction can take on board four passengers at once and swing them at a speed of 80 km/h.
Anyone who wants to tickle his nerves will have to take responsibility for his life, putting a signature on the relevant document.
