San Jose - Great America Theme Park

On Saturday last week, I went to visit this theme park located near Down Town San Jose. This is one of the famous theme park in California. It has almost like 5 roller coasters, which all are different in terms of the seat and track: hanging in the air with your feet dangling in the air, standing, seating, a reverse track, and a very old wooden track. I couldn't take much pictures because my camera phone is short of power.

Here's some pictures of the front side of the theme park and the merchandise shop.




Then, together with my colleague from Malaysia, we tried this Extreme SkyFlyer stunt. Basically, one will have to wear the safety gear as shown in the following pictures.




Then, we will be guided to a platform where we will be hung to a rope. Then, we will be pulled to a higher point like shown in the following picture, which is about 10 stories high.



After that, we will be signaled to release the lock, then we will swing down at the speed of M X G (Mass X Gravity Acceleration). Here's some pictures of us hanging up there.
