STID (PART 9) – Top 5 Roller Coasters In The World 2012
Rollercoaster fanatics live for the adrenalin rush that each trip
provides, and with coaster designers becoming ever more ingenious in
their perverse desire to scare the wits out of hard-core coaster riders,
the stakes are raised just that little bit higher each time a new
rollercoaster is unveiled.
Here then, in no particular order, are the world’s top ten scariest rollercoasters.
No. 1 - Silver Star
(Europa Park, Rust, Germany)
Distorting the faces of avid German rollercoaster fans since 2002,
Silver Star is the tallest rollercoaster in Europe, using a chain-lift
system to slowly draw riders up an initial rise of 239 feet before
letting go and plunging them into the drop at reputed speeds of up to
130 kilometres per hour and 4G vertical forces.
No. 2 - Tower of Terror II
(Dreamworld, Queensland, Australia)
The original Tower of Terror separated over eight million Australian
rollercoaster riders from their lunches since its launch in 1997. In a
bid further boost the dry-cleaning industry, the ride was relaunched in
an even scarier incarnation in 2010. Riders are catapulted out of a
tunnel and up a vertical tower, reaching a top speed of 161 kilometres
per hour in just seven seconds. At the top of the 115ft high tower they
hang motionless and weightless for a split second before plummeting back
to earth, into the tunnel and out to find the nearest sick bag.
No. 3 - Steel Dragon 2000
(Nagashima Spa Land, Mie Prefecture, Japan)
Another record holder, Steel Dragon may no longer be the fastest nor the
tallest rollercoaster in the world, but it is still the longest. The
amount of steel required to make the coaster earthquake proof also makes
it one of the most expensive ever manufactured. Earthquakes aside, the
sheer monstrous scale of Steel Dragon 2000 easily earns it a place in
the world’s top 10 scariest rollercoasters.
No. 4 - Kingda Ka
(Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, USA)
For many, Kingda Ka will be the ‘daddy’ of all scary coasters as it is,
to this day, the highest in the world, climbing a butt-clenching 456 ft
into the sky. This particular vomit comet hasn’t been without its
problems though – in 2005 a variety of mechanical problems damaged the
launch engine and cabling systems. Happily these faults were fully
rectified, but in 2009 Kingda Ka was struck by lightning causing further
damage. Now that’s what I call scary.
No. 5 - Intimidator 305
(Kings Dominion, Virginia, USA)
A newcomer to the world of scary rollercoasters, Intimidator 305 won the
2010 Golden Ticket Award for best new rollercoaster. Boasting an
innovative new ‘double spine’ track, Intimidator 305′s construction
requires fewer supports on its crest curves and throws in plenty of
eye-popping high speed twists and turns to satisfy and petrify the most
ardent coaster lovers.
STID (PART 8) – Mother's Day
A Mother loves right from the start.
She holds her baby close to her heart.

I love to edit pictures !!
Here I'll show you some pictures that have been edited by me..
STID (PART 6) – Attractions of Kedah
Today i want to share with you the attractions of Kedah. Explore the towns
and villages, explore many of nature's paradises in Kedah and uncover the
history of the ancient wonders of Kedah at the Bujang
Valley and learn about the oldest Sultanate in Asia by visiting
Kedah's capital, Alor Setar.
Towns and Villages
An excellent way to see all of Kedah is to travel by road,
stop by the many towns along the highway and divert to some of the
villages located in the hilly terrain or coastal areas. Hop on a ferry
or a boat to the many islands off the western coast of Kedah to
enjoy the best beaches in Asia . (Caution: If you
drive through the countryside, be extra careful as there are
villagers, children and often animals that may suddenly move on to the
road.
Towns from north to south.
There are many
small towns and quaint villages in Kedah. Travel by road or rail to
visit some of the towns and villages in Kedah.
Bukit Kayu
Hitam - at the Thai-Malaysia border. Malaysian come here to shop
for Thai goods.
Kuah
- the largest town on Langkawi island. As the island of Langkawi has a
tax-free status, this is the place to shop for tax-free items.
Kodiang
- located at the Kedah-Perlis border. This quiet, small town is
bustles with activity on Saturday market days, where a wide range of
local and Thai products are sold. Nearby is Gua Kerbau (Buffalo Cave),
an archaeological site where there is evidence of a prehistoric
(Neolithic) settlement.
Kuala Nerang
- the town nearest to the
Tasik Pudu resort (a holiday resort trapped
in the heart of the virgin forest of eastern highlands of Kedah).
Alor Star
(formerly Alor Setar) -
the capital of Kedah, is about 90 km from Butterworth (Penang). This
old capital is a mixed of old and new architecture with many
historical sights. Places to visit here includes Pekan Rabu, Balai
Besar, State Museum, Royal Museum and Anak Bukit.
Kuala Kedah - located at the mouth of
the Kedah River. A historical trading post, it was a transit centre
along the India-China route. Today it is a fishing village known for
her seafood. A jetty to
Langkawi island
is located in Kedah.
Tanjung Dawai
- a charming fishing village located at the mouth of the Sungai Merbok,
facing the Straits of Malacca. The village is located about 20km from
Sungai Petani and less than 5 km the rich archaeological site of
Bujang Valley. Its a place to visit if you want to buy local
foodstuff such as keropok (Malaysian chips), dried salted fish or
belacan. Travel from here by boat to Pantai Merdeka (boats take locals
across for RM1.50 per person)
Merbok
and the
Bujang Valley. Merbok is a small quite town with just two row of shops. The
surrounding areas are small fruit farms and some rubber plantations.
However, Merbok is at th centre of the largest archeological finds in
Malaysia. Located nearby is the famed
Bujang Valley, centre of a Hindu
Kingdom that dates back to the 4th century AD/CE.
Sungai Petani is
a striving industrial town located in central Kedah, the second
largest town in Kedah. In many
ways this town is more alive than the capital Alor Star because of
the many industries located here and the proximity of the town to the
port at Perai and George Town, in Penang. The well-known Bujang Valley
archaeological site is only 15km from here.
Baling - located in the hilly
south-western part of Kedah. Baling is famed for fruits
especially durians (king of fruits).
Historically
Baling is known as the place where the peace talks between the
communist party leader Chin Peng and the then Prime Minister of
Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman held talks. Nearby are some beautiful
forest recreation parks.
Read about the legends of Baling and about other interesting
towns in our forthcoming publication.
