When the soul requires thrills and routine is boring, these designs guarantee a powerful charge of emotions.
Zip World Velocity 2 (Penryn Quarry, UK)
This zipline is one of the fastest and highest in the world.
Participants fly over a former slate quarry at a height of more than 150 meters along a 1.5 km long cable, reaching speeds of 161 km/h.
The views of the Snowdonia mountains and Llyn Padarn lake are breathtaking, if you can overcome the instinct to close your eyes in awe and fear.
Giant Canyon Swing (Glenwood Caverns Park, USA, Colorado)
This extreme swing is installed on the edge of the Colorado River Canyon at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level (data from Glenwood Caverns Park). Swinging at a speed of up to 80 km/h, daredevils literally fly over the abyss.
The ride lasts about a minute, and all participants are required to sign a waiver warning of serious risks, including the possibility of injury.
Takabisha (Fuji-Q Highland Park, Japan)
The park's pride, whose name means “Arrogant” or “Superior,” lives up to its reputation as one of the most terrifying rides on the planet.
Its uniqueness lies in its record-breaking fall from a height of 43 meters at an angle of 121 degrees, creating the effect of weightlessness.
The attraction rightfully holds the world record for the steepest turns.
