Brave New World: The Theme Park

[Tarheel]

I read an article on this concept earlier this week; thought that I'd share it.  Follow the links to see the pictures and read more.  So, who wants to want to ride the "Euthanasia Coaster"?!:

(sorry I could not figure out how to embed a picture)

With the designated purpose of ‘euthanasia and execution‘ , the “Euthanasia Coaster” is a concept for a real steel roller coaster that has been created to “show the future of humans and technology.” The creator of the coaster, Julijonas Urbonas, says the machine is engineered to take the life of a human being with “elegance and euphoria.” The idea of the coaster is to send out 24 people, all of which come back dead.
...

The coaster design begins with a steep-angled lift to the 1,670 foot top, which would take 2 minutes for the 24 passengers to reach. Afterwards, there would be a 1,600 foot drop that would bring the coaster up to 220 mph. Flattening out, the coaster would then begin the process of cerebral hypoxia, or lack of oxygen to the brain. The ride’s seven total inversions would last for 60 seconds, starting with tunnel vision, black out, and loss of consciousness. After first or second inversion, the coaster would cause cerebral anoxia, leaving the passengers brain dead.
 
After the execution ride, the passenger train enters a straight in which the unloading of the brain dead bodies would take place.
...

For you engineers to read more and see the model:

Hey, you'll never read about this roller coaster design in Popular Mechanics!  The ultimate thrill ride. 

(As a sidebar I wonder if it would work with that damn Geico Pig?  He'd loose his pinwheels on the 220 mph ride downhill...just thinking...)

That doesn't seem to make much business sense for repeat customers.

What else are we to expect in this theme park...  The Soylent Green Food Court?

I hear its a hopping joint though. No minimum height requirements to get on the ride (good for and wes), no need for a wrist band or having to buy multiple tickets for rides, you can eat whatever you want before the ride without fear of having to puke. I mean, people are dying to get into the place.

Well, your bowels and bladder do evacuate by the end of the 7th loop so that could be a bit messy.

Seriously, all I want to know is.... can it be used to kill the Zombies?

Right, but it's nothing you have to worry about this go round. I mean after all, it will be the LAST time.

No.  You actually do have to shot them in the brain.  Haven't you been watching "The Walking Dead" on Lifetime?
