OK, SO WE gathered that you’re all brave enough for the world’s tallest water slide, the Verruckt in Kansas City.

But how about the world’s tallest drop ride, which reaches up even higher?

Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom, a new ride at Six Flags New Jersey, stands at 415 feet – that’s taller than the Statue of Liberty and Big Ben. Gulp.

Here’s a point-of-view video of some of the first riders. They look pretty calm, but their stomachs are definitely churning something FIERCE.

Oh to hell with it. We’d give it a lash.
