Terrence, It is true that they were going directly up and back down at a very rapid speed. I think the POI was announced because of the LookAround is searching for things every 12 seconds and will announce them regardless if you are standing still or shooting up into the air at200KPH.

I thought they were only going vertical! Did it *Actually* make something out of that??

We were strapped into chairs on something called the Sky Screamer. Charles zipped his PK and GPS into his coat and we listened to the young gal count down from 10, hoping that she knew what she was doing. After all, we had been hearing screaming outside our hotel room for a couple days as people experienced the Sky Screamer bungy ride. We were launched like a shot out of a cannon, reaching 200 kilometers per hour. At the apex, the chairs flipped over and we plummeted toward the pavement. Back and forth we went like that for about 45 seconds. You can hear a recording from the PK, albeit distorted, at http://www.senderogroup.com/blog.htm along with some pictures. Charles hasn't yet loaded the replay to see if it calculates vertical acceleration. You will hear the PK say arrived at destination during our flight. Thank goodness for that. Mike Michael G.
