New underpants please.

Some of you reading probably wouldn’t go near a rollercoaster for love nor money, but for the thrill-seekers among you, there’s a new item to add to the bucket list.

A new rollercoaster named Valravn (a supernatural raven in Danish folklore, apparently) opens in Cedar Point in Ohio this weekend; the tallest, longest and fastest dive rollercoaster in the world.

After they’ve taken in the wonderful views of Lake Erie for about five seconds from the coaster’s highest point, those brave enough to take a ride on it will plunge 214 feet at 90 degrees and reach speeds of 75 miles per hour before coming to a stop approximately three minutes later.

Watching it is enough to give us the shivers, never mind actually experiencing it in real-life.

Would you be mad enough to give it a go?
