I got embarrassingly far into that video before I realized what was going on.

reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_Coaster

I enjoyed it, though some of the rides were a little far fetched :)

The CGI was mostly believable, and the acting was not bad.

Wow, can you imagine if that was REAL? Some of those speeds looked like they would just turn you to mush.

Some of those rises look impossible to build from an engineering point of view.

Some of the footage doesn't follow the usual rules of physics. The spherothon around 1:20 looks physically impossible - the people near the top of the sphere would not be held out at right angles to the surface of the sphere.

I mean, 14 hour-long, mile-high rides are funny. But can I imagine them actually being built? Well, no.

The two links are different, though points to the same thing.
