Here I am on the new Panic Plunge ride at Silverwood Theme Park in Athol, ID. Panic Plunge carries riders up a 140 foot tower and, once at the top, drops them at a speed approaching 50 mph.
Last year was the second time I had ever been to Silverwood and the first time I had ever been brave enough to ride the roller coasters (I'm 25). I don't know why I was so scared, but after the first ride, I was hooked. Now I'll go on all of the rides without hesitation (except for Thunder Canyon. After a bad experience as a child on a similar ride, I have no desire to ride this one). So when I saw the ads for Panic Plunge, I wanted to ride it. And ride it I did.
It was really fun, although it did end up hurting my back (to be fair, I do have pre-existing back problems. Have I mentioned that I'm 25?). But that's okay, the lesson I learned was to ride Panic Plunge at the end of the day instead.
A quick word about the video: It's long and kind of boring. I don't know why they make those guys move over, but that slowed down the entire process. The ride up to the top is long, and the plunge is very short. My fiancée shot this on my hacked CVS disposable (hooray for the MAKE blog!) and that's her voice you hear narrating.
If you have trouble hearing what I say at the end, it's, "Your, like, ass isn't even on the seat for the whole ride. It's awesome!"
