Ikaros

You rise like Icarus and Daidalos in the direction of the sun, at the top of the attraction. But unfortunately, as told in Greek mythology, you come too close and so you fall down towards the ground. The special thing about this is that, in contrast to a conventional free fall, you sit with your face to the floor, because the seats are directed downwards at a 90 degree angle. You feel very different when you see the ground coming closer.
