For many a year now I have avoided even the rather sedate rides at the Bangor Fair so to see this makes me shudder in my chair. They call it the 'TERROR-dactyl' and for me I think I'd rather face a real one and be eaten. From what I have read this ride for lack of a better term is the first of its kind anywhere in the world. Located in Williams Canyon in Manitou Springs the 'TERROR-dactyl' sits at the edge of a 200-foot cliff in. And once the willing participant is strapped in they will be launched into the canyon and drop about 200 feet going about 100 miles per hour.  I hope the gift shop sell a change in skivvies.
