Sky Cycle

Taking a ride
Here's the SkyCycle.

Some roller coasters are scary because of their giant loops, fast turns, dizzying twists, gut-wrenching drops, or breakneck speed. On the other hand, some coasters are scary for entirely different reasons.

Peddle power

The cart is made for two people and is equipped with two sets of pedals so both passengers can control the speed.

The SkyCycle at Okayama Prefecture's Brazilian Washuzan Highland Park in Japan is one of those roller coasters. Rather than being fast and thrilling, is slow and terrifying.

 Pretty weird

Sure, it might look fun at first.

Those who ride the SkyCycle are basically biking around a raised track, high above the ground. While this may not sound too freaky, wait until you see it for yourself.

Not easy

Besides a seatbelt, there isn't all that
much keeping you safely attached to these things.

Can touch the trees

You have to make sure you don't run into the other carts on the track.

Don't look down

I can't imagine how scary it must be going around corners like this.

overgrown

Did I mention that some of the vegetation is a little bit overgrown?

Bit scarey

Yeah, it's pretty high up.

Beep Beep

Just focus on the view, not on the height....
