While I'm there, I'll be taking my very first trip to an international amusement park, Johannesburg's "Gold Reef City." The park contains a B&M inverted coaster, a Schwarzkoph shuttle loop, a medium-sized steel non-looper, a Mack powered mine train, and then there is this thing:

It's apparently a coaster built out of the structure of an old gold mining tower, and has a 164-foot VERTICAL drop, and according to Rcdb, has 6.3 vertical g's.[:O] All I can say is "daaayyyymn..."
I'll also be going on a safari in Kruger Park, and spending a lot of time browsing around Cape Town.
You know you can expect photos and full trip reports once I get them. I'm headed to New Jersey to leave the country later tonight, and flying out Tuesday morning. Wish me luck!
