Just when you thought rides couldn't get anymore terrifying and exciting than they already are, the new ride at The Amusement World has everyone shocked!

The new Gateway to Hell has just opened. What's so special about this ride? Well, think of yourself attached to a rollercoaster, suspended in midair. Upside down. And, instead of going forward. Going backwards.

That's right, going backwards, suspended in midair. And then, it drops. You're looking backwards, upwards, as your dropping 2100 feet at a rate of 700 feet per second. 1400 of those feet are above ground, the other 700 below, at which point it begins zigzagging and spiraling, lights flashing, red and yellow colors fading in an out. At the bottom of its drop, it then goes into a zigzagging tunnel, going up, down, and side to side. It then shoots upwards 2100 feet before it begins its up-and-down-and-up-again. It's a ride that must be ridden to be appreciated.

Open now. You must be 4'5 or taller to be able to ride.
