Siberdad & Megaphil's EXTREME RIDES
To me. The best part of bungee jumping is not the free fall, which you can get simply jumping off the high dive. The best part is the bounce back up. Which is what makes The Rocket Launcher (on Moreys Pier in Wildwood NJ.) so much fun. Because the bungees are not straight overhead but on either side of you, you get alot more bounce. Granted it's better to not be in a cage, but the cage rotates 360 degrees. One second your rushing toward the ground back first, then flying to the sky upsidedown, the next thing you know your screaming toward the boardwalk face first. It's probably the best ride I was on!

I don't know if you can call parasailing extreme. It looks more extreme than it is. When your over 100 feet in the air it seems like your just hanging there. The speed boat that is pulling you looks like a toy. We actually passed a low flying airplane in flight. It was the first time I could look over instead of up at a airplane in flight!

White water rafting at Whitewater Rafting Adventures in Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania was alot of fun. The best time to go is in the spring when the water is high, unfortunately it's also very cold. Check out thier web site at
