BRAZIL — Most of the world's scariest roller coasters are outside of the United States. There's Formula Rossa in Dubai, which bills itself as the fastest roller coaster on earth and takes you from zero to 150 miles per hour in just five seconds. And the T Express in South Korea, the tallest wooden roller coaster, includes a stomach-churning 150-foot drop. And, who can forget the Takabisha in Japan, the steepest roller coaster on the planet?

A tourist attraction at a nature preserve in Brazil also has a ride that is also trying to make its way into the ranks of these international thrillers. The owners promote it as a terrifying venture out into open space, but I just think it looks serene and gorgeous.

The Skyglass Canela is located in a permanent preservation area in southeastern Brazil. The scenery is stunning. You can walk out on the platform, touted as the world's largest steel and glass structure, to enjoy the broadest possible views of the surrounding Ferradura Valley.

It's the suspended monorail chair ride beneath Skyglass Canela that's featured in the video. Yes, it'd be slightly unnerving to hang more than 1,000 feet in the air. But the ride moves so slowly that most people can probably acclimate to the sensation.

My recommendation to the owners of Skyglass Canela is to either advertise the ride as an "inspiring journey over the forest's canopy," or add some features that would actually make it terrifying. For example, one or two of the chairs could randomly detach each time the ride reaches its highest point (equipped with parachutes, of course).

What's your take? Would you go on this ride?

Was it worth the time to figure this out? Who cares? It's awesome.
