Video: This just might be the most terrifying theme park ride we’ve ever seen

If you sh*t your pants after watching this, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

If you sh*t your pants after watching this, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

If you’ve been to enough theme parks and been on enough theme park rides, you’ll soon lose your capacity to be surprised by the thrills and spills in store. Don’t get us wrong, they’re still brilliant and terrifying in equal measure, but if you’ve been on one rollercoaster or one ride with a 50-foot drop, you sort of know what’s coming when you move onto the next one.

We can safely say we had no idea what was coming when we started watching the video below about the Sky Tower at Tivoli Friheden near Aarhus in Denmark, but to say we were taken aback was an understatement.

Yes, that’s a 100-foot freefall into a giant mesh net you’ve just watched and if you’re anything like us in JOE Towers, your stomach is probably still tingling after watching it over and over and over again.

So, who’s up for a trip to Denmark then?
