If you’re looking for one of the wildest and craziest roller coasters rides around, then look no more. We have gathered the best of the best for thrill seeking roller coaster junkies.

At a height of nearly 21 stories, “Superman: Ride of Steel” is the world’s top-rated coaster. With a 221 foot drop, Superman reaches a top speed of 77 miles per hour and delivers a lot of airtime (that funny feeling of weightlessness as the coaster goes over a hill), making it a favorite of coaster enthusiasts.

Made in a combination of chrome and blown pyrex glass, its look is bold yet extremely likable. Spider-like in appearance; legs jut out from a central body. Each of these curving “legs” is tipped with a tiny, twinkling light. The reflective surfaces of the lamp catch the light and multiply the effect. The reflective surfaces of the lamp catch the light and multiply the effect. An expressive, aesthetically pleasing contemporary suspension lamp, the Redentore is by Sillux.



Tiniest Car in the World

May. 24, 2009 No Comments Posted under: cars, crazy

Most kids freak out on Postman Pat car rides in amusement parks. But Perry Watkins of the U.K has actually turned ‘Postman Pat’ fun ride car into the world’s smallest car! The car has 39 X 26 inches dimension and can accelerate up to 40mph.

This tiny wonder is indeed a challenge to manufacturers of smaller and efficient cars. It wasn’t all that tough to create this singular vehicle. Perry simply purchased this ‘Postman Pat’ ride from eBay, fitted 150cc single cylinder, four stroke engine and remodeled it into smart street vehicle.


Perry even fitted a deceptive turnkey at the back of the car and made it really seem unbelievable that this tiny vehicle actually runs on gasoline.

The entire process took about 7 months, and as a finishing touch he stuck a cheekily oversize turnkey in the vehicle’s back.


Although the vehicle’s status as the smallest car has yet to be verified, Perry Watkins has already been credited with creating the world’s lowest car – the Flatmobile. We can’t wait to see what he builds next.



The SSC Ultimate Aero is a powerful engine sports car manufactured by Shelby SuperCars. The precious SSC Ultimate Aero TT is the world’s fastest production car, which travels at a top speed of 257 mph.

Owns the Guinness-verified world’s fastest car, the SSC Ultimate Aero which was clocked at an average two-way speed of 255.83 mph – besting both the Bugatti Veyron and Koenigsegg CCX. Motorcars of Las Vegas, the sole distributor of the Ultimate Aero, has chassis #SSC-07-004 on its showroom floor ready for its first owner.

The new version known as 2009 SSC Ultimate Aero has been modified where some changes have been added to the exteriors, interiors, and the increase of horsepower about 15%. The most important change is the single piece aluminum block engine that improves the oiling capabilities and structure of the engine, so that the SSC Ultimate Aero produces an output of about 1287 horsepower.The interiors are mostly designed of carbon fibers that bound the doors, steering column, speedometer and tachometer.



Tree House Restaurant (New Zealand):

This unusual restaurant started life as an ad campaign for Yellow, a New Zealand company similar to the Yellow Pages. The idea was to build a restaurant in a tree using only resources listed in the company’s directories. Tracey Collins of Auckland made it her mission to build the restaurant-in-a-tree using Yellow.  The designer was careful to minimize the impact on the tree and the surrounding forest, he said in a release.

Pelican Bar (Jamaica South Coast):

The Pelican Bar is located on a sand bar roughly 3/4 of a mile off of Jamaica’s South Coast.  It is one of the most unique places in the world to witness a sunset.  The Pelican Bar specializes in Red Stripe beer and local rum.  We highly recommend a visit to this unusual property, even though it is not an official restaurant (food must be prearranged and brought out by boat).

Bed Restaurant (Miami):

BED is the most relaxing dining spot in the city. Huge mattresses with mounds of pillows let you relax with a hot date or a small party, after you place your shoes in a cubby and put on BED’s complimentary socks.The trance music and slow-motion videos projected on screens attempt to soothe you, as do creative drinks like the blackberry julep, a new, fresh-fruit take on the mint julep.

Military-Themed ‘Buns and Guns’ Restaurant (Lebanon):

At Buns & Guns in Beirut, Lebanon, everything is military themed – from the decor and names of the menu items to the helicopter sounds that play constantly in the background.

Hospital Themed Restaurant (Latvia):

A unique, weird restaurant has opened in Riga, Latvia named “Hospitalis“.It is a must-see place if you like gore things. The restaurant looks like a medicine cabinet, while you are treated as a patient and taken good care by the long-legged waitresses in nurses uniforms.The food is served in flasks and operating-room’s dishes and isn’t that cheap (7 and more lats per meal), but this is a bizarre experience that is worth breaking the bank. Besides, the place is owned by local doctors, but unfortunately, the president of Latvia, who is also a doctor, declined his appearance at the opening once he realized how weird this place actually is.

Death Themed Restaurant (Ukraine):

A group of Ukranian undertakers have constructed the first death-themed restaurant – built inside a 65ft-long coffin. Inside you’ll find funeral wreaths, black shrouded walls and human-sized coffins. Menu items include dishes with names like “Let’s meet in paradise”.

Modern Toilet Restaurant (Taiwan):

Taiwan has one of a chain of restaurants called Modern Toilet where you sit on a toilet and eat from a toilet shaped bowl. Modern Toilet is a restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan with a modern decor and a full-on toilet theme. All 100 seats in the crowded diner are made from toilet bowls, not chairs. Sink, faucets and gender-coded “WC” signs appear throughout the three-storey facility, one of 12 in an island-wide chain of eateries.


Undersea Restaurant (Maldives):

the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant still interesting to talk about. Known as the first-ever transparent undersea restaurant in the world, the restaurant sitting five meters below the sea level of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views.

Sky Restaurant (Belgium):

This strange restaurant combines the delights of dining with a thrill of well, a thrill ride. You’ll travel about 150 feet into the sky before you chow down on a gourmet meal prepared mid-air. Restaurant uses a mobile crane to lift its entire 22-seat open-air dining room over city streets all over Europe.
