OT: I don't have a problem with this rollercoaster. I've always believed people should be allowed to choose their own death, and this option doesn't especially shock me. I mean, I'm ok with drug induced death's, why should this rollercoaster change my opinion and be any worse then that? If this is ment to be provocative art, it has kind of failed hasn't it? | ||

It's an interesting idea, but who hasn't thought of spectacular ways to go out. In the end, all he did was show it on paper. Yeah. Death Race 2000 visits 6 Flags. | ||

Does a person under 10g's of force have worse circulation than someone without a beating heart? | ||

After all, if legal assisted suicide is something various governments can manage to stomach, a perverse contraption like "Euthanasia Coaster" becomes just as valid as any other means of getting the job done. Do not go gentle into that good night -- do it to the EXXXTREME! Am I the only one actually getting a little upset over this (boldfaced) sentence? It's argumentation like this that's killing every form of constructive discussion. Just because "various governments can manage to stomach the idea of legal assisted suicide" does not mean that any way to go about it is valid for exactly the reasons that we do not use aborted fetusses for football, and the same reason we don't kick chickens to death before we eat them, and that even when we are in a war we don't like our soldiers pissing on our enemies graves. TL;DR: The boldfaced argumentation is a complete and utter fallacy, defeating any point being made in the paragraph and I really dislike this kind of reasoning. | ||

Like adding a shotgun at the end of the ride that fires at point blank range into the head? I would prefer the Cobain method myself. Fast, cheap, effective... In the meantime I have to placate myself with black humor. | ||

That thing is fucking scary, just the sheer size of the drop and the number of rings is frightening. | ||

"My client pleads guilty to the charges leveled against him on the grounds that he be executed via the kill coaster." You would see more deathrow inmates pleading guilty that way, at least they could go out in style. Cost effective? This thing is a half kilometer tall, and has to withstand 10 g's of force in most sections of the track. The construction and maintenance costs alone would be ridiculously prohibitive. | ||
