8 Most Unusual Theme Park Rides and Attractions

1. X-Scream

X-Scream is the world's third highest amusement ride, at a height of 866 feet, located in Las Vegas. This ride takes advantage of a built environment to create new thrills. Ride uses a relatively low-tech magnetic braking system as the ride rolls forward, the blade slips in between a row of magnets before hitting a rubber bumper that brings it to a standstill. As the ride is tilted backwards, the blade slips out and heads toward an identical row of magnets at the other end.
