I went on this: http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/inside_park/rides/thrill/ttd/video/index.cfm

a couple of years ago. 0-120mph in under 4 seconds, then upto 420ft.... And no shoulder restraints, just lap restraints!

i have been on this one loads in Dreamworld, tis the tallest vertical drop in the world

http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/thrillrides/towerterror/

uses 2.2mW of power each time it goes, doubling the parks electricity consumption, enough for a small town
0-100mph in 7 seconds, 6.5 seconds of weightlessness at 4.5G's in a 6tonne train

Those rides are insane, X-Scream was just getting built last time i was in Vegas!

Insanity looks pretty damn cool though dangling 900feet in the air

Best bit is the lift to get up there 120+ floors in about 4sec's
