  • My father's video of him on top of the world's fastest, tallest rollercoaster. It's 450+ feet tall and reaches a speed of 128 mph. He is a ride mechanic and this is him doing an inspection.

      Imani it's a maintenance elevator that's not like a normal elevator, it's pretty tiny because it's usually meant for one person and stairs would take for ever to get to the top and bottom. Ps I'm pretty sure they would just push you because any slight movement could send the car back down so it's safer to push it back down
