    Here it is, ridden by Ferrari Formula 1's pilots Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Zero to 62mph in two seconds. Speeds reaches 150mph.

    I remember years ago on the Rollercoaster in Blackpool, Jimmy Savell (Jim'll fix it) that a troop of boy scouts tried to eat their breakfast on it - with hilarious results.

    Anyone got good ideas to try on this new faster one?

    Drink many , many pints of beer, eat a hot curry & then get on.
    Take bets as to which end of you explodes first.
    Wholesome fun for all the family.

    looks fairly crap, initial burst of speed, then a load of boring long banked turns. the guys are turning around in their seats to see the people behind them like. rubbish.

    I'm surprised Felipe didn't jump out to ensure that Fernando finished first.

    +1, A good coaster is more about the G than the actual speed, but I'd still love a go on that one, just to be sure :D.
