Where is that monstrosity?
With the palm trees and Arabic writing I saw, probably in the Middle East somewhere. But I love roller coasters and would love to ride this one.
Googled it: Six Flags Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia

I have always loved rollercoasters. Thank you for the ride.
That's insane.
The only thing I would add is a full loop at speed. But I would ride that in a heartbeat.
I'm blessed with four theme parks ( five if you count Lego Land) in an hours drive or less. One is a Six Flags. For coaster junkies Six Flags is hard to beat.

Why does it look like AI?

Both of those look like fun to me. I wonder if my old bones would stay together in one of those sweeping turns.

Thanks for posting where it is.
After being a Huey crewchief,, riding NOE (Nap Of the Earth) at 100 knots or so,, I discovered that roller coasters were both boring AND mechanically rough.
Now,, allow me to put on a monkey harness vest,, strap in, and a good NOE pilot,, & sit on the floor of a Huey or even in my seat,, and go for a good ride & I'd smile a lot!

Before I ever rode in a helo I would see the Hueys come back to the base with brush on their skids. Sill me thought it was from landing and taking off in the desert. Then I got assigned to Cuddeback Gunnery range for a day. You had to fly out and back. Flying out I learned the brush was from chasing coyotes and rabbits.
This is what happens when you bring a combat pilot back from SEA and make him a taxi driver.
At the very beginning of the video it says "Six Flags Qiddiya City....
But it sure looks like animated A.I. to me.
One of the two times I got to ride in a Huey I got that tight rear side seat facing out with door open... coming into land in the swamps of the Francis Marion National forest I had to pull my legs in because the trees were slapping the sides of the copter. I think the national guard pilot was messing with us. We got dropped off and the class was on how to bring the choppers in to a landing zone via radio.

"Hard to top an F-111 doing 900 knots at a few hundred feet or an F-15E."
I knew someone here would understand! I weaseled my way into ejector seat qualification so I could try & snag a ride in a jet. Never was able to get into a jet,, but always wanted to.
Blume,, you must have been part of a JROTC type of program to get a ride like that. I know,, because we occasionally did that sort of "recruiting" type of flight. I always enjoyed those flights. Even though I almost killed a Captain once on one of those types of flights. But that's a different story.
