Mystery spot

An area that weirdly defies gravity?

Its at Mystery spot, Santa Cruz, CA. On Sunday evening (29th May 2005), I have been to mystery spot. This spot defys all gravitational laws.
Mystery 1:
The first spot usually the Guide shows. A Cement flat footpath parallel to earth’s surface. If two people of equal height stand on each side of it, one looks taller. Now swap the positions again, the other one looks taller (the same side where earlier equally taller person looked taller).

Mystery 2:
The slope heading to the actual Mystery Spot. There are two slopes perpendicular to each other paving the way to the heart of Mystery spot. When you climb the first one slope, you feel more difficult to climb it when compared to normal uphill slope situated at the same angle. THe next slope looks easier to climb. But now you find the real mystery. The one which was difficult to climb uphill was less steeper than the one which was easier to climb. So the gravitational pull was more on a less steeper slope.
Gravitation Law negated.

Mystery 3:
Now you enter a small cottage which lies in a inclined anagle as though it is falling to one side. You try to stand straight, immpossible here you can’t do it. You ara always standing at an angle almost at an angle of 30* from your normal position. A ball when dropped on log which is at ana angle. The ball moves towards the upper edge rather than the downer edge side. Strange.

I believe at this spot the gravitational pull is acting at an angle. So is the effect. But why is it so and nowhere else?
We have to redifine our gravitational laws for this specific area.

Catch me

I am there !!!! Catch me if you can

PGA Thrills : Invertigo

Infront of Invertigo ride (after I took the ride). Too tired due to the dynamic nature of the ride.

Paramount Great America Rides

Great America Rides:
The thrill rides I took yesterday at the Paramount Great America Theme park, Santa Clara (San Jose):

Deja Vu

Deja Vu, the first of its kind in the world. Deja Vu is a twin thrill machine with tight pulsating curves and inclines that will turn the heads of even the most avid thrill seeker. Suspended in a single ski-lift style train, guests climb a 178-foot tower at a 90-degree angle using “cable-lift” technology. Deja Vu pulls passengers up the tower faster and quieter than conventional chain lifts. Thrill seekers then plummet straight down and face down at 65 M.P.H. through a 110-foot high boomerang turn and over the outside of a vertical loop. The train then lifts up a second 178-foot tower using the cable lift system. Once the vehicle has reached the top, guests will be released and then travel the entire course gain… backwards.

“Deja Vu features several unique elements that are all rolled into one ride experience,” said Wintrode. “Deja Vu delivers a unique ride experience, unmatched in size, speed and scale that can’t be duplicated on another coaster.”
Picture:

Drop Zone Stunt Tower®

Experience the rush of gravity as you descend 22 stories in less than four seconds on the DROP ZONE Stunt Tower, one of the tallest and most intense free-fall rides in the world. Hold on tight as your vehicle coasts down the 224-foot tower in complete safety.
Picture yet to come

Demon
Experience airtime and multiple loops as you encounter The Demon… As the “senior member” of the roller coaster contingent at Paramount’s Great America, this ride still packs a punch!

Xtreme Skyflyer
Experience the breathtaking thrill of hang gliding and skydiving. You’ll be hoisted 153 feet above ground, and dive at speeds up to 60 miles per hour while free-falling 17 stories toward the Earth skimming just six feet above the ground.

Delirium
Fire up on the fierce new Delirium (the first ever in North America), a powerful spinning pendulum that will send you whirling.

Top Gun®
Time to take off on TOP GUN, the incredible suspended “jet coaster.” Soar through a 360-degree vertical loop, two 270-degree afterburn turns, a full-circle wingover, and a zero gravity roll. If that’s not enough, you take this 50-mile-per-hour flight in a floorless coach, suspended below the coaster’s steel track.

Vortex
The Vortex features a 91-foot lift hill, a 360-degree loop and weaving, twisting track that threads its way through the eye of the loop. You ride standing and straddling bicycle-type seats in trains that travel up to 45 miles an hour. Padded shoulder harnesses secure the riders – four abreast – in their cars.
