OMG!!! That first turn! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Also, why does there seem to be a rocket motor on the back of the car?
Awesome find, thanks for adding it.
POV animation of the ride
Russian aircraft with a HUGE rocket fuel tank on its back
Agree with BSR, the only vehicle that could get that tank off the ground fully loaded with fuel was the Buran + solid rocket motors.
NASA's next move!
Orion is pretty cool.
A capsule with escape rocket on top of a SS solid rocket motor.
And a capsule rated for 6 astronauts.

Cool, but the solid rocket motors were tested in Utah. This was a Space Shuttle Main Engine test.
USS Forestal Fire - July 29, 1967
From Youtube:
A ZUNI rocket was fired accidentally from an aircraft being readied for a mission on July 29, 1967. The rocket screamed across the flight deck, struck another aircraft and ignited a fuel fire. The initial fire could have been contained, but 90 seconds after the fire started a bomb detonated, killing or seriously wounding most of the fire fighters.
The detonation ruptured the flight deck, and burning fuel spilled into the lower levels of the ship. Bombs, warheads, and rocket motors exploded with varying egress of intensity in the fire, killing 134 and wounding 161 men. Twenty-one aircraft were destroyed
After this incident, the Navy established a flag level committee to pursue improvements to the systems used to control flight deck fuel fires. An ordnance safety program was also initiated to characterize flight deck fuel fires and study ways to delay the "cook-off" times of munitions. As a result; insulation is now applied to some bomb casings, delaying "cook-off" times 5 to 10 minutes in a fuel fire, but does not diminish the violence of its explosive reaction.
