Are writers really this stupid? And why would your editor let you publish a contradicting story... Just read it and you will see what I am talking about.

A very stupid video. The article calls it a "virtual ride" but the video is anything but a "ride"

An hour and a half wait on a giant, hot staircase for a seven second ride.

For me....the scariest part of that ride, would be the staircase.

Yep.   Not too surprising.  BUT SteelHawk (Windseeker) at Worlds of Fun is supposed to open that weekend still.

Did anyone catch the Travel Channel show outlining the journey for Verruckt?  It really made Schlitterbahn look like they were winging it.  We especially liked when the raft, weighted with rocks, flew off of the hill; when I was there last year, even I could tell that would happen (and I'm not an engineer).  It seems there would be computer models that could have predicted that!
