what a minute i thought they closed down this place after a girl died on a ride here? but at least North Korea found a use to use to it again, I think it is a good think thats a good thing to use it for. I had been abadoned for a few years but wasn't it closed down for like a couple years?
What, are they just gonna open these parks & rides, with no upkeep, until a rollercoaster car kills a bunch of people?? Sheesh, this brings greed, on one end, and boredom, on the other, to an all new low. This is the thing about communist countries and their economic disrepair: imagine what all their nuclear power plants look like......
Rollercoasters are supposed to be exhilarating, right? What better way to accomplish that than by incorporating the alarmingly high chance of imminent death into your ride? : D
In the video of "The Roller Coaster of Death", I love how a ad for Six Flags just pops up. You won't see me anywhere near that or any roller coaster.
You'd think with the general state of disrepair of their entire country, they would be reluctant to try something like the RCoD, esp. with one car derailed! Perhaps they're hoping for a fatal crash to get the heck out of THAT particular Hell! You know, the "Dear Leader" rode it with BOTH arms up the WHOLE time, and didn't scream like a little girl! Of course, since he DESIGNED the entire park and all the rides, he knew what to expect. Is there ANYTHING that tubby runt can't do???
