Apocalypse - Drayton Manor Parks' Intamin built Giant drop ride, the scariest rides I have ever come across. This one has 5 elements, (5 sides), 2 are normal sit-down cars, two are stand-up cars that tilt forward 15 degrees, and the other is a floorless stand-up which also tilts 15 degrees. You are lifted to the top, held for an unspecified period, and then dropped. The ride uses opposite rare earth magnets to bring the cars to a steady stop, the only way the brakes will fail is if the earth's polarity changes position.
