I've been to Ferrari World (on that same island) - it was less of a theme park, and more of a Ferrari museum which happened to have a rollercoaster.
The Emiratis like to compete with each other - this new Sea World will be much larger than the aquarium inside the Dubai Mall.

I can tell the changes in the animation, but it doesn't improve a thing about Akira, and needn't be. I upvote because of Akira, not 60fps (as pointless as the CGI added Star Wars Ep IV-VI... and I'm being charitable). Akira is something that every generation needs to be aware of and watch.

Also, if you have access to it, read the comics (manga). While I wouldn't say it's more entertaining than the movie, it's far more intriguing. Same deal with many of the Studio Ghibli adaptations (like Valley of the Wind). Go for the comics, you'll get more of an emotional rollercoaster ride than the visually amazing, but plot-weakened film versions.

The funny thing is that, assuming he drove to the park, that was far more dangerous than the rollercoaster.

If you're not afraid of driving in a car, you shouldn't be afraid of rollercoasters or planes.

But, at the same time, I know the important word is irrational fear. So, it is what it is.

good for him! i used to fear rollercoasters then somone told me "youre not going to die so just have a good time."

simple statement but it made the difference. knowing that death isnt gonna happen i now go on the craziest rollercoasters i can find and try to ride as many as i can. the scarier the better!

nothing new... the Russians have been sending burly "women" to the Olympics for decades.

I think they could take this monobob 1 step further, make it purely a skill sport by adding weight such that the combined pilot+sled weight is the same for everyone, and use a railgun-style launcher (tech existed for rollercoasters for years) that sends everyone at the same speed. That could even be a mixed-sex sport, like Nascar.

I truly enjoyed watching this. Not being a motor-head it was nice to be able to understand everything they were talking about. And wow the acceleration sure made me feel like I was on a rollercoaster. *quality

I've become torn about drone nature videos.

On the one hand, the views they can get are unique and stunning, the adrenaline pumping rollercoaster rides through impossible obstacle courses are heart pounding.
On the other, I'm all too aware of the efforts people make to have a single day in the peaceful majesty of nature, and having what sounds like a fleet of leaf blowers hovering overhead, whirring back and forth through the scene can ruin the experience completely.

I really believe there should be designated days/weeks when drones are allowed in public parks, reserves, preserves, wilderness areas, etc and they should be banned other times to make it fair for everyone.

I was a repeated victim of drone pollution in Iceland.
