From the outside, look at the palm trees in comparison.
The tennis court is the stupidest idea! Look at how little space there is between the end of the platform and the boundaries of the tennis court. People would probably make one step on either direction for fear of “running out of field”, or the more daring ones, trying to hit a high ball would probably go like:
I got it!
I got it!

NO thanks! I’d go check the view and then find the nearest land-based court, next to a bar and the topless pool…
OR the hiking “trails”, how can you trust that all the pieces of wood and chains are properly attached and maintained?? I’d probably leave a little trail through the whole length, and it wouldn’t be of breadcrumbs…

I that’s what I thought. It looks like the tennis court is overlooking a beach, so the balls should fall into the water (in theory). I doubt that the ball boys would survive the fall, though…

Terminal velocity. Look it up. A falling tennis ball isn’t going to kill anybody.

I tried all the rides at Vegas’ Stratosphere and many others (including bungee jumping) all over the US and even Europe and I can honestly say that nothing was as scary as the Insanity.
Really, really scary.
Is that a fake roof in the beach picture?
I cannot tell, since there is one from what looks to be a picture from outside the facility, and then one inside with what looks to be tiles or striations across the roof.
Anyone know?

And yet skiing on a real mountain is always gonna be a bucketload more fun.

A falling tennis ball isn’t going to kill anybody because of a Charlie Sheen movie?
Thanks for posting this, pretty awesome.
The hiking pictures are from Hua mountain, in China. There is a monastery on top if you can survive the hike. Here is a youtube of it: The World's Most Dangerous Hike - YouTube

Terminal velocity of an average tennis ball is less than 50mph.

Yup. Part of his promotional contract for the movie has him showing up everywhere a tennis ball free falls and shoot it out of the sky.
Scared the shit out of me when I was on the roof and throwing down a few balls that had been stuck up there.
If you ever parachute out of an airplane, I’d recommend against wearing light green underpants, just to be safe.
If you had enough money to live in Dubai, why would you want to ski that crappy slope instead of flying somewhere better?
I get dizzy standing on a chair. Just the thought of going over any of those open space works make me nauseous.
