WorLd's Strangers Theme Park #2

#2 >>> X-Scream <<<

Background: 

X-Scream is essentially a teeter-totter for adrenaline junkies that tilts riders 27 feet off the edge of the Stratosphere Las Vegas.

How It's Unique: 

Rides like X-Scream take advantage of a built environment to create new thrills. The ride uses a relatively low-tech magnetic braking system, based around a copper blade that is attached to the bottom of the car. As the ride rolls forward, the blade slips in between a row of magnets before hitting a rubber bumper that brings it to a standstill. As the ride is tilted backwards, the blade slips out and heads toward an identical row of magnets at the other end.
