The raised arm makes the shot. Very good pic. Marc

It looks insanely FUN! What a rush that would give a person! The last time I went that fast was on the back of my brothers Kawasaki 900 back in the 70s! If I had a chance I would definately take a ride on it at least once! I wonder how many people pee their pants just during the climb up to that first drop?

I think the person with their arm out is saying "help!!!!". Great graphic composition.

Thank you, guys. That's "Kingda Ka" for you, the fastest and tallest coaster on the planet: 0 to 128 mph (205 km/h) in 3.5 seconds, with a 270-degree spiraling vertical drop of 456 feet. What you see here is just the very top of the vertical drop. If you ask me, you have to be insane to get on this thing. But if you do want to ride it, you'll find it at Six Flags in NJ.

Looks scary and dangerous, but driving a car this days is 100 times worse. Nice approach to the theme with strong composition.

Nice strong graphic - the extra height of the picture works well. Must be really ripping - the riders are keeping their hands in place. - brent
