It's weird, I have a horrible fear of heights, but I'm fine when safely strapped into an amusement park ride. It looks fun, but I prefer coasters.

The ride is called Gravity Max and it is at Discovery World (amusement park) in Taiwan. It is a prototype Tilt Coaster, designed and built by Vekoma. Vekoma is known by coaster enthusiasts for producing horrible ageing coasters. Many roller coasters which once provided a smooth and realatively smooth ride have aged into providing rough and horrible experiences. Such roller coasters built by Vekoma recently include Déjà Vu, which can be found at three Six Flags theme parks in the United States.

From Roller Coaster Database:

"Advertised as a "Tilt Coaster" or "Cliffhanger". The train is pulled up a lift hill to a horizontal platform. The track then tilts until it is vertical, drops down into a tunnel, turns 180 degrees and emerges to enter the vertical loop.

How it works: After the train reaches the end of the horizontal tilt segment, a hook grabs the rear car of the train. This holds the train in place during the tilting. As a safety precaution, a large block of steel at the front of the tilt segment prevents the train from rolling off the end should the hook fail. After the tilt segment is vertical and inline with the vertical drop, the block is pulled away and the hook is released."
