Are you acrophobic?

If so, I recommend that you do not ride Project X Sky. In fact, I would even recommend that you don’t visit the hyperlink that I included above, for the concept of the thrill ride described, by itself, could cause you to have a severe anxiety attack.

Project X Sky is the Stratosphere’s, in Las Vegas, Nevada, new proposed thrill ride attraction. When you read the following description, keep in mind that the Stratosphere is a 900 foot tower (oi!):

“For an estimated $5 to $8 per ticket, intrepid riders will be strapped into a floorless, eight-person vehicle before they’re accelerated toward the tower’s edge at speeds approaching 30 miles per hour. Once they’ve passed over the side, safety systems will gradually slow the car before returning it to its original position.”

I am a huge fan of adrenaline-pumping thrill rides, including any roller coaster on the face of this earth, but Project X Sky will not be seeing my arse in its seats.
