Since the beginning of time, mankind has always sought to outdo ourselves.
Whether it’s about climbing the highest mountain,
Scaling the tallest height,
Blazing the fastest speed,
Or simply being the most sadistic.
And so a timid Miss Loi stood, with wobbly legs, before three of the meanest modern devices mankind has ever built with wicked intent this side of the world.
Her life and her students’ mid-year exam results flashed before her eyes, as she looked up in awe at the flowing entrails of these mighty beasts, and pondered if it was indeed her destiny that brought her to this spot.
But pondering should be the last thing on her mind, for she would loathe to waste her ¥1200 entry ticket has always told her students to face up to their challenges …
… and now the time has come for her to live up to her own words.
And so it came to pass that on this day, a visibly-trembling Miss Loi held her breath, stole one last glance at the monstrous machina towering before her, and took that fateful step forward …
.
.
.
… to take a few more photos before heading off to more comfortable environs.
Sorry folks, after a brief calculation on the tracks’ geometric properties and the kinematics involved, Miss Loi concluded that the resultant angular velocities were a little too much for her poor little palpitating heart.
Besides, the 50-60% discounts at Gotemba Premium Outlets were difficult to resist okay!

Before you start calling Miss Loi a chicken, here’re some vids on the action that Miss Loi missed out (which till now she still didn’t regret after viewing them!):
1) FUJIYAMA (4th longest & 6th tallest in the world)
2) DODONPA (Highest acceleration and 3rd fastest in the world)
3) EEJANAIKA (7th tallest & most inversions i.e. sadistic in the world)
