Gold reef city (South-Africa)

[:D]This is the only theme park in the northen parts of South-Africa
and it lookes like the park is in a big boost due to the casino and everything. maybe you havent heard of it yet, but hear comes the strange thing that i,ve never seen before. Gold reef city is home to one of the scariest dive machines in the world due to the scenery and the small twist in the drop. <Shaft of Terror>
I've ridden it and i've ridden oblivion, oblivion doesn't come close to the major thrill of the Shaft of Terror!!![peakhill]

I just want to know if any one knows this ride.

i think most people know about the ride. It's the only ride that is still running and that gives 6.7g on there drop. Shamly it's soo far away[:(]

[:)]Every body always talk about G's when it comes to this ride, my personal opinion is that the g's isn't that bad at all, the experience is so brief that you can't even feel anything.

[peakhill]The holding brake (chain) on top of the drop doesn't stop the car it just slows it down so that the tilt before the drop takes about 30 seconds!!! (That is what makes the ride so scary)
The car reaches about 80 degrees then suddenly the chain releases the car with no warning or anything.

I've built the Shaft of terror on Nolimits but I didn't upload it because I can't get the chain to tilt the car that slow yet.

how about using lot's of deceleration, or just use a brake with hold time[:)]

While it looks like an insane ride, Anaconda looks way better.

I'm not so sure, Giovona (or however you spell that) is just another B&M except with 2 trains per row instead of 4. why do they look like B&M so much?
