It's a safe bet that no Amusement Park in The United States offers a ride that can match the thrill of that ride.

Viewing it in full screen is about as brave as I will get (but I did it twice).
I thought about posting it in "Build-It Yourself."

It's a lot of fun... most cost about $5 a ride... you can get a better deal with a 10 or 20 ride pass.
The lever between the knees is a rudimentary brake... pulling back presses a small plastic block against the rail... it won't stop on a dime... it will slow you a little... and give you something to hold on to!!!

I watched another video of it where a guy is videoing from one coaster as his kid goes down ahead of him. Toward the bottom of the run, he turns the camera left to look at some horses grazing very near the rail.

See the horses at about the 5 minute mark. There's a black cow and more horses at 5:12. I'd rather take a squirrel.
