It's actually very tame and lame, very Disappointed.
You get strapped to a large wire and fall at a constant (and slow) speed, you don't free fall at all! I've been bungee jumping before and I can guarantee you that a normal bungee jump is MUCH scarier! |

Must be a new ride. X-Scream and Insanity were OKish.
