“Revealed: The Shocking Secret to Surviving the Euthanasia Rollercoaster That No One Expected!”

"Revealed: The Shocking Secret to Surviving the Euthanasia Rollercoaster That No One Expected!"

Imagine this: life feels like one wild ride already, but what if there was a roller coaster designed specifically to end it all— with a final thrilling twist? Sounds like something ripped right from a dark comedy script, doesn’t it? Well, Lithuanian engineer Julijonas Urbonas believes there’s a certain audience that would find thrill in such a prospect, which is why he conceptualized the Euthanasia Coaster. This hypothetical death-trap of a roller coaster promises a unique experience that cleverly combines death with a dash of euphoria. Billed as a “one-time-only” adventure, this ride takes adrenaline to a whole new and eerie level, operating at heart-stopping speeds of 223 mph. So, hang on tight—or not—because the only place this ride goes is down… to the grave. Curious to learn more? LEARN MORE.

After deciding you have had enough of this rollercoaster ride that we call life, would you fancy going for one last spin on one that’s designed to ‘kill anyone who uses it’?

Julijonas Urbonas seemed to think people would be up for it, which is why he came up with the concept of the hypothetical ‘Euthanasia Coaster‘.

The Lithuanian engineer, who previously worked at an amusement park, began thinking up plans for the sinister steel rollercoaster which could take lives ‘with elegance and euphoria’ back in 2010.

Soaring at speeds of up to 223mph and coming in with a 1,600ft stretch, this deadly attraction is something which is intended for passengers to ‘only ride once’.

Explaining how his macabre idea would work, Urbonas said: “Riding the coaster’s track, the rider is subjected to a series of intensive motion elements that induce various unique experiences: from euphoria to thrill, and from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness, and, eventually, death.

“From there, you would begin experiencing a blackout and ultimately you would eventually lose consciousness and die.”

Take a look at a simulation of it here:

The idea is that riders would be whizzed around several terrifying loops which continuously become smaller as the ride progresses, causing ‘oxygen deficiency in the brain’ for those on board.

This, coupled with the 10Gs of force inflicted upon those who strapped themselves into the Euthanasia Coaster, would ultimately end their lives when the 60-second experience is complete.

Urbonas’ rollercoaster model with several tight loops might sound ridiculously simple, however, it has the potential to wreak absolute havoc on the human body.

Detailing the effect it would have on riders in the first few minutes, the engineer explained: “The centrifugal force drives the car upward, and you are literally pinned to the seat, your buttocks’ flesh is pressed against the ergonomic planes of the seat so hard that your whole body is almost immobilised. The tissues of your face start drooping down – it looks like it’s ageing remarkably.

“Breathing requires more effort, as the ribs and the rest of the internal organs are pulled down, which empties air from the lungs.

“But most probably you are already unconscious, as this force rushes the blood to the lower extremities of the body, thereby causing oxygen deficiency in the brain.

“It is exactly this cerebral suffocation, also known as cerebral hypoxia, that is going to kill you.”

According to Urbonas, anyone who is somehow still conscious might experience blurred or tunnel vision, have difficulty hearing and will soon be knocked out.

“Eventually, this experience – accompanied with disorientation, anxiety, confusion, and, most importantly, euphoria – is crowned with G-LOC (g-force induced loss of consciousness), during which the body is completely limp, and vivid bizarre dreams occur, such as being in a maze and unable to get out, or floating in a white space, not knowing who you are, why you are here, etc,” he continued.

“Of course, you can tell the story only if you survive, which is virtually impossible.”

As we mentioned, Urbonas was keen to make the Euthanasia Coaster, which was designed to fit 24 people who must all be in agreement before the fatal theme park ride begins, completely unsurvivable.

However, it seems there might actually be a way to have a whirl on it and live to tell the tale.

Speaking to LADbible back in 2021, Urbonas explained that another expert had suggested that there is an item which could allow the human body to withstand the toll his creation would take on it.

Discussing other possible functions of the Euthanasia Coaster, he said: “A possible usage is the ‘hacked’ thrill ride, which was suggested to me by an aeronautic engineer who happened to visit the coaster’s scale model during an exhibition. She said, ‘Your machine could be hacked, you know’.

“After my confusion, she explained, ‘Using anti-g trousers that prevent pilots from blackout and fainting, I believe I would survive the ride and turn it into the most extreme thrill ride’.”

Urbonas also shared a hypothesis about how a rider who miraculously made it through the hypothetical ride might feel afterwards.

The designer said: “You would soon recover from G-LOC, remaining unconscious, and your body would flail around in a chaotic fit that is called ‘funky chicken’ in aeromedical slang, as the neurons in the brain – replenished with extra oxygenated blood pumped harder from the heart – begin firing once again. This causes arms and legs to twitch uncontrollably.

“Finally, coming around, although still confused and disoriented, unable to remember anything, you would regain your memories in a few hours, and they would be one of the most memorable, with a peculiar souvenir on your legs: little red pinpoints all over the skin as a result of blood leaks through the blood vessels, a sort of gravitational measles.”

Urbonas isn’t trying to actually get his concept built so he can test this theory out, however, he did want to ‘convince the public that it can be built’.
