Holy crap that looks like fun. When it did the twist for the first time I thought it was going to break. I would give it a shot though.

Why bother? Sticking your finger down your throat accomplishes the same thing!

The way those arms twist and turn like that, this ride looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Hopefully not made by the same companies that turn out those well made accident free soviet airliners.

This is one of the freakiest things I have ever seen. Looks like something out of a nightmare.

I rode some rides when I was in Russo. Most were American rides that no longer pass the safety inspections. One ride a lady got me one was missing at least half the bolts One ride was two rides to many for me..

But the elevators I rode on were pretty good rides in themselves , pedal to the metal starts, up/down super fast and then a dead man stop at the end -- try one of those drunk holding a carry out dinner in your hand and a open beer in the other

Here's what Brother ID is talking about, in general: http://www.economist.com/node/21555570
Funny thing too, as Sukhoi was and is top maker of Soviet/Russian fighter jets; but then Boeing doesn't do fighters either--"Stick to your knitting" holds true.

True, unless you do not classify the F18 as a fighter jet. Think most jet jockeys may respectfully disagree.

Sorry, Brother ID but I won't be got on this--what Boeing did was built a variant on an already proven platform. Not the same thing you'll agree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_F/A ... per_Hornet
This just in: The Saudi Government in 2011 bought 154 F-15SA aircraft last year worth $29,400,000,000, the largest arms deal since the end of the Cold War. This all from Harper's Magazine Index. Here's what they got: http://www.aviationweek.com/Article.asp ... 410195.xml << This mod work done in St. Louis by, wait for it...Boeing, but again only rebuilding (and decontenting) an existing platform. Thumbs up however.
