Mar 15 2007Foot powered roller coaster

Methinks that the safety regulations in Japan are somewhat more lax than they are in the states.

Should be called the "Footpowered Roller Coaster of Death (from lockjaw, which you will surely get whist slamming your face into the rusty handlebars after your cheap ass seatbelt snaps apart)." I don't think that flows very nicely, however.

OMG! i want to try it!

but doesn't it seems a bit rusty?

Forget lockjaw and seatbelts - it looks like they've got multiple cars on the same track at the same time. Isn't that terminally stupid?

There is a pedal powered ride in cornwall, england. Also this isn't a roller coaster- There are two different rides in the second, sixth and eighth pictures. So it isn't as scary as you may think....
It actually just goes round in a kind of flat fashion- without any up or down motion..

Why would it be stupid to have multiple cars on the same track? They could only collide if the car ahead of you stopped pedalling and waited for you to ram into them, which would only happen on a level section or whilst going uphill - they run free when going down.

Who are you geeks trying to kid ??????
The background clearly shows The Golden Gate Bridge in
San Francisco, California, USA,, and Alcatraz Island.
Care to comment ?? Other than that it is pretty funny.

The Golden Gate Bridge is an orange red color.
Japan has islands too.
The Golden Gate Bridge has four horizontal beams.

Oh hellz no! I'd pee myself. No lie. I'm terrified of heights.

It's The Skycycle at Washuzan Highland Park in Okayama: http://www.w-highland.co.jp/

The bridge which is "clearly" the Golden Gate bridge is the Shimotsui-Seto Bridge: http://home.pusan.ac.kr/~ndo99/brpic/seto/ssb.htm

As far as I'm aware, the Goldan Gate bridge is "clearly" not a white bridge?

Hey Man

Would not want to put on brakes while going down. Are there brakes? Rust and dirt and grime. Would you really get a great speed in the rain? Maybe we should put George Bush on there and let us know.

As you can see in the second photo the ride is basically flat... ignore what looks like another ride on the left. So I don't think you have to worry about crashing into each other at high speeds.

yeah i agree. this is deff not japan b.c of the golden gate brige. thagts in san fran. =] so yeah. nice one

you guys are retarded...have any of you actually seen the Golden Gate Bridge? the bridge in the picture is NOT the Golden Gate, its in Japan as quoted above

That is NOT the golden gate, this is

Though I applaude you for noticing the similar geography of the two bay areas, the most obvious point against this bieng the San Francisco bay, the Golden Gate is red. Also The city at the base of the bridge nearest the photo's point of view is significantly smaller than San Francisco. The final giveaway is in photo 2, the large white building isn't something you'd see in San Francisco.

Plus that bridge looks like it is two stories, and the Golden Gate is deffinitely not.

Ok, just to say, people please stop saying that is San Fransisco, because it is not! Geeze, ok, here is the bridge in Japan that is taken please in Photo 2 (The Shimotsui-Seto Bridge:) http://home.pusan.ac.kr/~ndo99/brpic/seto/ssb.htm
and here is the Golden Gate Bridge http://www.hellosanfrancisco.com/Images/Photos/972005Golden_Gate_Bridge-s.jpg Ok and also I would love to try this ride out! I'm going to Japan next summer, I would love to see it. And oh yea, for you people who think that you would obviously collapse when you go uphill, you probably go down a steep hill at the beginning of the ride then go up hill, so you also get that extra boost of speed with the uh.. going downhill...ness? Heehee, and as you can see in the last photo, it goes up a far bit, then it goes into those downhil spirals, so it obviousle got an extra boost before them all! Ok uh.. that's all. JapanWillRuleTheWorld out! <]:-)

OMG you people are retarded that think that this is ride is dangerous. They make it where you won't fall off. and the whole thing is flat no hills damn actually look at the tracks

wow that would be awesome 2 ride but it looks scary
