These folks are on a WOODEN South Korean roller coaster boasting the world’s largest drop.
That means if you ride it, at some point your cheeks will be flapping like Dumbo’s ears, and your eyes will be so far back in your skull you can scan your own brain.
But that’s not what I wanted to talk about. Speaking of WOODEN rides and Korea, did you see the recent BBC story saying termites are destroying many of that country’s WOODEN heritage sites? They were training dogs to sniff out the insects.
I’m just saying, if you’re riding this thing at the speed of sound and you pass a nice dog with a concerned look, hit the brake. Oh, there isn’t one?
