11. Best feeling is going over the cliff edges and out over the quarry.

13. They need to find some way to make people happy in Wales. Its always raining and for some reason they dont know how to make good food. That is just what i herd i dont really know cause i never went there.
14. Was it fast?? It looked a bit slow on the video.

18. My son's girlfriend's Dad went on this on a work do....he said twas a bit meh!!!!  I still wanna do it, but it seems peeps shouldn't get over-excited about it!! :D
19. Penrhyn quarry or Llechwedd?
20. N. Hemisphere's longest?  What about the Icy Point Ziprider 5495ft (a bit over the one mile claimed by N. Wales) and 1320 ft drop (N. Wales: drop not disclosed on website) I rode several years ago (and is still there).
    On the website they claim 1600metres long (very nearly 1 mile) and only claim to be longest in Europe.
    I'm surprised at the 115mph claim too (Icy point looks a lot steeper and claims 65mph max). A skydiver in free fall only gets to about 120mph.
