But only after they figure out how not to dismember it's riders? I need to hear from UK_WhoDat or some other local B&G member over there on how this thing is coming along and/or if it actually kills someone.

"A theme park in London is set to debut a powerful new winged roller coaster this month, but only after first figuring out how not to dismember its riders.

"Modern Family" mother and son Sofia Vergara and Rico Rodriguez had a scream on the wet and wild Splash Mountain ride while shooting an episode on location at Disneyland on Wednesday. And yes, those are high heels in Sofia's hand. Hope she hung on to them! (2/29/2012)...courtesy of OMG from Yahoo!

I'm with you, or at least standing on location, firmly on the ground and in support of you riding ... maybe bring a laptop and see if you can "B&G" in zero gravity ... they did mention allowing passengers "to try fun, safe "zero gravity" experiments during the ride" ...

It's a shot for an upcoming Modern Family episode.
