World's Steepest Roller Coaster

At a 121 degree fall, you fall not straight down but behind you. I get queezy just thinking about it... but I would love to ride it! I have a fascination with roller coasters and their design. They test the laws of physics by bringing the ride to the brink of failure before bringing it back to reality.

Designing the ride itself is seems pretty easy (note that I am speaking directly from my ass here since I am not an engineer or a designer) since the materials can handle a fair amount of stress. In my opinion the real tough part is finding that good mix that thrashes and scares riders at the same time of staying within the realm of what our body can take - sans NASA training.

Check out the video and the time lapse. There are many roller coasters worth riding on, and this definitely looks like a good one.
