Six Flags Over Georgia’s 11th roller coaster, the highly anticipated DARE DEVIL DIVE, is now open for thrills! The innovative new coaster sends riders over a 10-story vertical lift at a spine-tingling 95 degrees: beyond vertical!
Media, roller coaster enthusiasts and professional test pilots from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics were on hand for the launch of the park’s latest thrill offering. DARE DEVIL DIVE boasts three inversions, zero-gravity hills and high-speed turns. Riders travel in the world’s first “v-shape” trains fitted with lap bar restraints and stadium seating, paying homage to World War II-era stunt planes and the daring pilots that thrilled onlookers with their incredible aerial acrobatics. The ride soars at a blistering 52 miles per hour as it makes its way through 2,090 feet of twisted steel track.

i just love this game. its still my fav mp game. but i dont play mp any more. and not just ut04. i get sick of being cheated by zelios type hack whores.. very lil is honest on line. seems to me. the same type zelios junk they all use in ut04 is used in all of the mp games.. they have undetectable- not punk buster nothing stops these folks- they have auto tracking and lock on aim bot- radar- can up player speed how high they jump- armor health- ammo what ever and can make adjustments on the fly while playing.. most turn the junk down to not be noticed- but you always get the noob hacker who will post his dumb ass cheat videos on youtube or where ever and prove the games are cheated.. most do lie and most clans all of it is built off of a hack cheat program. its a trip and it sucks.. so i see no need to play mp any more. but i still like ut04 and add maps and skins etc. and it is a great classic. few games can match its quality and or mass content..

Vehicles are doing a better job of protecting people in crashes, but a new crop of advanced technology aims to prevent many crashes from happening altogether. A new study by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) finds that one kind of advanced forward collision avoidance system is working to prevent about a quarter of the common low-speed crashes that happen in everyday commuter traffic.
The study of insurance claims found that Volvo XC60 midsize SUVs outfitted with a standard collision avoidance feature called City Safety are far less likely to be involved in low-speed crashes than comparable vehicles without the system. City Safety is designed to help a driver avoid rear-ending another vehicle in slow-moving, heavy traffic. Claims under property damage liability coverage — the insurance that pays for damage to vehicles that an at-fault driver hits — were filed 27 percent less often for the XC60 than other midsize luxury SUVs.
