utter nonsense on my part - sorry for wasting bandwidth
Maybe that's what they were going for to add an extra level of thrill factor on top of already being 425 feet in the airNevermind. Beat me to it.
I don't know why but I'm find it odd that it's so close to the road.

It will probably be scarier being the spectator below as it's just dawned on me that it could be raining pennies and cellphones from the riders. I don't agree with all the metal detectors at Universal for the most part but if any ride needs it, it's this one.
It's been a really long time since I've ridden one of these things because they terrify me. But, don't the restraints stop you from getting at your pockets? I didn't think people could do much at the top of the ride (other than drop their glasses perhaps?)They have a 400 foot version of this at Six Flags Over Texas they installed back in 2012- it's pretty tall. And the scary part isn't the height as much as the wind at that level that moves you.
That said- first time I rode it with my oldest kid- I thought "this would be nice to take a selfie up here with her"- well, I got up there and thought "what if I drop my phone". I mean, it could kill someone.
There isn't even a net at the bottom. Needless to say, I'm shocked something hasn't happened at one of those before.

3 months might get you up 200 feet.I was kinda hopin' this thing would be open by Midd March 2018.
