Weir News Stories: Coaster Designed to Thrill and Kill

Yes, you ride it, you die. That’s pretty much the concept of the Euthanasia Coaster. What could be scarier than this – a ride that lasts 3 minutes, the first two of which are spent slowly climbing a very steep slope.

Choose the latter, and you will be dropped at a high speed and then made to travel through a quick succession of loops.






The spinning motion would create a centrifugal force that makes all the blood rush away from the brain, and insufficient oxygen would ultimately lead to death.
