Most Thrilling Rides in the World

The Most Thrilling Rides in the World

These rides take you gyrating through crazy loops, and then they soar to mind-boggling heights, making your heart gallop at bullet speeds, and just when they hit their lofty summits, they drop down into what feels like the deepest pits. Go through this list that points out some of the scariest rides from across the world that are guaranteed to make you feel nauseous.Verrückt at Schlitterbahn (Kansas City)

1. VERRÜCKT AT SCHLITTERBAHN (KANSAS CITY)

Verruckt is German for ‘insane’ and the ride that was opened in the summer of 2014 absolutely justifies its name. This ride that boasts of the title of being the world’s tallest water slides (it’s taller than Niagara Falls), drops four passenger rafts from a whopping height of 169 foot. To add to the gut-wrenching excitement the water jets propel the rafts for a second 50-feet drop.

2. SUPERMAN: ESCAPE FROM KRYPTON (CALIFORNIA)

If a ride that catapults its passengers to a 415 foot high tower at a jaw-dropping speed of 100 miles per hour with their heads facing backwards during the launch doesn’t leave you weak at the knees, then nothing else will. This ride is a complete package that gives its riders a thrill of reaching maniacal heights, at crazy speeds, and feel weightless as they free-fall back.

3. FAHRENHEIT AT HERSHEYPARK (PENNSYLVANIA, USA)

In just about 85 seconds, this scary ride takes one through multifarious crests and falls that leave its riders praying for life. The frenzy begins when the riders are lifted to a height of 121 feet and then dropped to a 97-degree negative drop in one fell swoop. After living through this the riders have to encounter 107-feet inverted loops, s-rolls, inverted cork-screws, exciting airtimes, cobra element, and so much more.

4. EEJANAIKA FUJI-Q HIGHLAND FUJIYOSHIDA (JAPAN)

The nightmarish accident of ‘The Final Destination – 3’ may flash briefly before your eyes while you ride this seventh highest roller coaster of the world, and I say ‘briefly’ because for the rest of the time all of your senses would be fixated on getting the hell out of the ride. The cars on this frightening roller coaster flip on a horizontal roller coaster independent of the tracks, to give it the spine-tingling ‘4-D’ effect.

5. TOWER OF TERROR AT DREAMWORLD GOLD COAST (AUSTRALIA)

This high and mighty ride of the Southern Hemisphere swoops the riders to a lofty height of 377 feet, and then at a ruthless speed of 100 miles per hour gives a zero-gravity drop. After this wild maneuver up and down the tower, it stretches out for very long lengths to knock its riders silly.

6. EXPEDITION GEFORCE AT HOLIDAY PARK HABLOCH (GERMANY)

Operating since 2001, this is the most loved roller coaster that is also crowned by many prestigious titles. It reaches an astounding height of 203 feet and renders its riders weightless at least 7 seven times during its long zig-zag across the park.

7. THE CANNONBALL LOOP (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

This was a mammoth water tube that swirled its riders into 360-degree loops. Built in the 1980s, this water ride had to be closed owing to the several accidents that it became infamous for. If one tiny thing deviated from how it ideally should’ve been, the riders were either subjected to several degrees of pain or got trapped inside.

8. TEHRAN NECK CRACKER (IRAN)

The ride earned its amusing name from one of its riders when he suffered from hours of neck pain after taking the ride that gyrates its passengers in loops so tight that they can almost see the backs of their heads. So, be prepared with the right gear before taking this ride from hell.

9. HUMAN CATAPULT (UNITED KINGDOM)

What kind of a person would like to be flung into the air at a pesky speed of 60 miles per hour, only to be thrown into a net situated 75 feet away? Then again, there have been some daredevils who just couldn’t resist the kind of adrenaline rush that this ride induces. Quite obviously, people have fallen victim to this frightening ride.

10. KINGDA KA, SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE

This roller coaster subtracts all the gimmicky loops and twirls. All it does is, shoot its passengers to as high as 456 feet at 128 miles per hour giving them a brief, but terrifying experience of zero gravity that’s enough to stimulate projectile vomits.

Celebs Who Went From Flab To Fab

Bollywood Celebs Who Went From Flab To Fab

If you thought that stardom comes easy or it comes to those who are lucky, then you are wrong my friend. Success and fame come at a price and you need to work really hard for it. Same applies for some of our Bollywood celebs who had to work hard to get rid of their extra weight in order to act in front of the camera. Read about 10 Bollywood celebs who went from fat to fab.

1. Arjun Kapoor

At the outset of this list of Bollywood celebs who went from fat to fab, let us talk about the Ishaqzaada Arjun Kapoor. Arjun, the tall, dark, handsome actor who has girls drooling over him, was not this hot always. He was a very heavy 170 kg boy who looked nothing but a sandbag. Under the guidance and training of Salman Khan, he not only lost a lot of weight (by lot of weight I mean 68 kgs!), but also flaunts a six-pack body now. Bravo! 

2. Zarine Khan

The ‘Veer’ fame who grabbed attention for her striking resemblance to Katrina Kaif also won a lot of critical attention for her over weight stature. She was almost ignored and was considered just a one movie wonder. But Zarine did not give up and worked her way to a sultry figure. She was 100 kgs before she entering Bollywood and is now a decent 57. 

3. Kareena Kapoor

This Kapoor heartthrob looks stunning with high cheekbones and svelte figure doing half the things for her. Kareena or Bebo as we call her with love was a chubby and cuddly girl who looked like a delicate soft toy. But something made her to work her way into slimming down and with the help of a strict diet plan and power yoga, she started the trend of zero figure. Though, we must admit that she didn’t quite look as pretty in her no fat frame.

4. Sonakshi Sinha

Happily working behind the camera was this ‘Dabangg’ Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of khaamoshhhh alias Shatrughan Sinha. Sonakshi wasn’t much worried about carrying that extra pile of weight around until Salman approached her for a movie and asked her to lose weight. Who dare ignore Sallu bhai and so Sonakshi also lost 30 kgs to become the Rajjo of Chulbul Pandey. 

5. Sonam Kapoor

Being the daughter of a handsome hunk like Anil Kapoor, Sonam had to keep up the trend of good looks and vivacity. She weighed a good 86 kgs before she stepped in front of the camera and made her debut with ‘Saawariya’. She lost 30 kgs for her first film and has lost even more after that. She is known as the diva and style icon of Bollywood. 

6. Alia Bhatt

This “Shanaya” of ‘Student Of The Year’ fame sizzled the screen with her presence on screen in her debut movie. She was highly applauded for her style and oomph factor in her first movie itself. Alia has been getting offers since then and has no looking back.

The Alia we know now wasn’t the same earlier. She too was overweight, thanks to all the love and pampering that star kids get, and looked like any other regular chubby girl. But she worked hard under the supervision of her director father, Mahesh Bhatt and lost 16 kgs for her debut. 

7. Parineeti Chopra

The cute and pretty Parineeti Chopra is blessed with the cutest face ever but wasn’t blessed with a good body. In her own words, she “wasn’t just chubby but very fat”. Like Sonakshi, she was also working behind the camera assisting directors and was comfortable in her shoes. But when approached for a role in ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Behl’, she had to lose all that baby fat. She did lose some weight for her debut and is working to lose more. We love you, Parineeti!!

Beauty Tricks Everyone Needs to Know

Whoever said that looking great calls for a lot of effort most likely didn't know about these genius hacks

1. Change the way you apply concealer under your eyes

Forget about dotting it and try applying it in the shape of a triangle with the base right below your eyes. Your concealer will then be easier to blend and the end result, a lot better.

2. Use this contouring map for mind blowing results

And make sure your face is never completely covered before blending.

3. Your cupid bow never really stands out?

Use this technique to draw attention to it.

4. Make any nail polish pop by applying a white base coat instead of a clear one

The pic above speaks for itself. 1. Without white base coat - 2. With white base coat

5. Say goodbye to post-manicure mess by applying lip balm around your nails

Now you can go wild.

6. Want to turn some heads with your favorite fragrance?

Then these are the areas where you should apply it. The skin's really thin there, which means that the scent will last for a long, long time.

7. A few drops of saline solution are bound to revive a dried-out mascara

But don't use mascara that's older than 3 months.

8. Hot water will do the trick as well

Leave the mascara in for a couple minutes and before you know it, the clumps will become a thing of the past.

9. Reuse mascara wands that you're fond of

You know that mascara you paid a fortune for a while ago only for the fancy brush? Well, just because the container's empty, it doesn't mean that you have to throw away a perfectly good wand too. Clean it up and use it with new, less expensive products.

10. Warm up your eyelash curler for a longer-lasting effect

If you don't have a blow dryer on hand, you can always keep the curler between your thighs for a minute for the same effect. If you feel like spending some money on this one, you can always buy a heated eyelash curler that runs on batteries.

11. Just bought a new eyeshadow, only to find that it's not pigmented enough?

No problem! You can make it as intense as a Naked one it by applying white eyeliner on your lids and then covering them up with the shadow.

12. Make your own gel eyeliner in a matter of second

Cheap and effective.

13. Smoky eyes have just become really easy to do

Draw that hashtag, blend it in and marvel at the simplicity of this idea.

14. From now on, use a dry shampoo before you go to bed, rather than in the morning

This way, you won't have to deal with powder being visible and your hair having a generally weird texture, not to mention that you'll also get some extra volume.

15. Divide your hair into medium-sized locks and twist them to spot all the split ends

Then you can cut all those nasty things in a minute.
