You know as you take your seat in the SlingShot, this is no ordinary amusement ride. Your mind is racing, heart beating like a drum and your throat dry, for you are about to be catapulted vertically at over 160kph (100mph) to 70m (230ft) in 1 second experiencing up to 6 g's. 

After being securely fastened into your ejection seat inside the capsule similar to an extreme roller coaster, you hear the machinery intensifying as over 40 tons of energy is being packed into an innovative box called the Spring Machine. The launch capsule tilts back placing you into a reclined (pre launch cosmonaut) position and you sense it's almost release time...gulp! 

Then here it comes, the countdown ...3...2...1...Blast off... Aaaaaaaaaarghhhhh (feel free to improvise here). The Spring Machine now bursts into life, the magnet releases and your face distorts as you blast upwards and experience over 6 times the force of gravity. In an instant you're 100 metres high (333ft) and more than 30 metres (100ft) past the top of the support towers.

There is nothing around you only fresh air. You cannot believe how high you are and experience a weightless feeling, floating high above the miniature people below...YIKES.

But now it hits you...what goes up must come down...and down you go, face first and staring at the ground, blood pumping, almost reaching terminal velocity. Aaaaaaarghhhhhh (improvise again). Speeding down you wonder will it stop...but just before you plunge into the planet you slow to a stop several metres from the ground. The spring machine fires again and shoots you back into the sky, rotating the capsule over a full 360...the sky...the earth...the sky...the earth...where am I?

After several more exciting bounces the ride comes to a rest about 30m (100ft) from the ground. Suspended in the air you have a spectacular view...or is that just the adrenilin talking...you breathe...as you have probably forgotten...and pinch yourself to check if you are still alive.

Slowly you are lowered back to earth where you disembark... bravely???... and head for the video lounge to relax and relive your incredible  experience in action replay on the BIG SCREEN.

You will receive your certificate...your proof of madness... and the video, photo and t-shirt to prove to your dog, cat and anyone else who cares, that you are completely insane and ready for anything.

ugh!

 

Congratulations!
