As much as I dislike the region, there has been some pretty impressive progress on the tallest/fastest coaster ever built. I think the lift on the left side of the image will be ascending the cliff face. Looks gigantic!

    I find it funny how many people thought this thing would never be built. Its looks absolutely incredible but I doubt I’ll ever head to that part of the world. A record breaking coaster doesn’t forgive human rights issues in my book 😕

    BTW there was a good pre-creation made a little while ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=poco8rOnW18

    I’m super torn on this one. I know it is probably in my best interest not to go to this park, even this region, but this is super tempting. It is going to be a record breaking ride in a truly groundbreaking park. If this does even remotely well we will probably see a lot of interested parties trying to build things where things don’t deserve to be. Really a massive act of hubris and pure stubbornness.

    With that said, hopefully people realize how insanely irresponsible and unrealistic this is.

    I do want to go if only to be able to travel and see a part of the world I would have likely never been to.
