Looks like there's a new (French) video on the history of Vertigo at Walibi Belgium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgRQbzmFIv8

If you don't know it, Vertigo was as if someone went "what if ski lift, but rollercoaster??" and this somehow actually got built, and only operated for several days in total before getting closed and demolished due to constant technical problems. I was lucky enough to get a chance to ride it, and it was an incredibly unique experience, almost like you're floating on the air, I still miss it! Here's some of the little footage that exists of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16Rg6-fuEXo

Spent another excellent day at Europa-Park 🎢

#rollercoasters #themeparks #europapark

The Fountain of Friendship by the park entrance; the sun still sits low in the blue sky, throwing long shadows across the ground.

Park entrance, decorated with European country pennants.

At night in the background, the EuroMir coaster lit up with Christmas lights; in the foreground, on the ground, a life‑size replica of the EuroMir space station glowing in blue/purple light.

An alley in the park at night: a tree illuminated in green up front, with Christmas trees behind it festooned with little white lights and other seasonal decorations.

🌶️🔥 Capsaicin, the compound that makes #peppers spicy, hijacks your nervous system by binding to the TRPV1 receptor – the same alarm your body uses to detect actual damage.

Through repeated exposure, your #brain learns the sensation is harmless and under your control, transforming pain into pleasure through a mechanism similar to why people enjoy scary #movies and #rollercoasters.
