Fainting at speed: a video of the most extreme roller coasters appeared on the network (video)
Many extreme lovers love to test their courage on roller coasters in theme parks. The radio station Park Hoppers Radio published on TikTok footage of one of the most extreme attractions – “Project 305”, located in Kings Dominion Park in Virginia, USA.
The video is shot from the perspective of the passenger in the front carriage, who experiences some dizzying ascents and rapid descents. One of the passengers said that after the trip he fainted and even went to the hospital.
“This roller coaster is infamous for being the most intense roller coaster in the world, having to install double brakes on the first descent. Later that year, they changed the angle of the first turn to 85 degrees because the gravity was too much and people were passing out.”, — reported in the Park Hoppers Radio video.
The name “Project 305” comes from the ride’s height of 305 feet (93 meters) and it accelerates to a speed of 94 miles per hour (151 km/h). While this ride isn’t everyone’s favorite, many roller coaster fans rave about its intensity.
TikTok users shared their impressions of the trip: “This ride was so scary and I love roller coasters” “I blacked out on this ride” “After the big drop I couldn’t see properly but it was so much fun” “I rode this ride twice in a row and my my back hurt for several weeks.”
Some, however, expressed their admiration: “I love this ride,” “My favorite ride ever. I’ve been on it over 50 times. The front is the best seat, but the back feels like it goes faster.”
According to information on the King’s Dominion website, the ride lasts only 70 seconds, but there are physical limitations: passengers with a height of 150 to 190 centimeters are allowed.
Project 305 is currently undergoing another “transformation”. Although the key elements of the attraction remain unchanged, the park promises new unforgettable experiences. “Get ready for something completely new”, – says the park’s message.
