The 'Polercoaster' will extend <b>520 feet </b>into the air and reach high speeds of <b>60 miles per hour</b>. Plans for the roller coaster show that is will be a tower, and only <b>150 feet</b> in diameter.<br />
<br />
It will be built in Spring 2016. It will then outrank the current world record holder - <b>Six Flags New Jersey's Kingda Ka</b> which is <b>456 feet tall</b>.<br />
<br />
<i><b>The train will take the Guests to the top of the tower where there will also be a double-Decker restaurant and shops. In the other words, a good last minute excuse to chicken out and not get on the ride.</b></i><br />
<br />
If someone don't know whether he want to ride or not, then he can decide in the last minute by taking a glass elevator to the observation deck to look out and consider whether or not he is afraid of heights.<br />

As he was too fat they told him to get out of jail free.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>George Jolicoeur</b></span>, 38, is infamous for ordering food and then complaining about the quality and refusing to pay after he eats it.<br />
<br />
He devoured five milk shakes before finding a hair in the shake and refusing to pay.<br />
<br />
George Jolicoeur was arrested in 2007 after downing nearly $50 of beef jerky from a 7-Eleven, then claiming the last few scraps were moldy.<br />
<br />
Police tracked him down at home and arrested him.<br />
<br />
"The beef jerky got me," Jolicoeur said on his way to prison.<br />
<br />
After Jolicoeur was charged with five counts of felony petty theft, he became ill and bedridden. He now resides in a nursing facility and relies on a respirator to breathe.<br />
<br />
After prosecutors discovered that the state would have to foot the bill for Jolicoeur's medical care they offered a plea deal.<br />
<br />
"He's in his prison cell," said Assistant State Attorney Kyan Ware. "He's not getting out of that bed."</div>
