Biggest " SPEED" Rush
Was it a coaster? A ride in a dragster down the 1/4 mile? Jumping off the New River Gorge Bridge in WV? Let's hear all about it. For me, four years ago I got to ride in a four-man bobsled on the new run in Lake Placid NY from the top. A white blur. Three hours later I was still shaking. My neck was still sore 4 days later. The real deal, not a "safe" modern park ride. If I'm ever in Salt Lake City UT I'll be doing that one too. Worth every dollar!!! What about you?

and... how many worthwhile dollars was this, "real deal, not a "safe" modern park ride."?

It was $45 at the time in LP if I remember, but the normal ride there is to start 1/2 way down the run. I got very lucky to start at the top. Salt Lake is $200 from the top last I heard.

Every time I ride my motorcycle. The rush you get as you roll on the throttle is simply amazing.

A barren stretch of Nevada highway was involved... along with 9,000RPM. Felt like I was getting lift.

I got to ride shotgun with a pro driver for a few laps at the local race track. My heart was pounding when I got out of the car. Major adrenaline rush
