10

DENiSEN (Dec 15, 2008 at 13:51)

Huge and really beautiful drop! But entirely sure that in real it doesn't looks soooo huge.
The proportions and perspective are not realistic, so I can assume that this has happen because of spherical lens use or m.b. some photoshopping :-)

But anyway, POD!

10

ragdoll (Dec 15, 2008 at 15:56)

your right it prob was a fish eye lens, but dude this drop is huge in real life, standing on the take off you literally shit your pants its that big, and your right it is photoshoppped, with layers to give it the sequence effect

10

DENiSEN (Dec 15, 2008 at 16:23)

Can imagine... drop is amazing.

10

mitchymaca (Dec 16, 2008 at 2:32)

23

coupstair (Dec 8, 2008 at 10:57)

yup, and a human is 6' tall, there isn't 7 stacked riders there ... not a big deal regardless, it's a big drop don't get me wrong (nevermind the flat looking landing, yikes!), just saying that it isn't 4 storeys high is all. i work all day as an architect and have a close relationship with dimensions. anyways, RIDE!
