Would you be willing to go on an amusement park ride that takes you over 400 feet up and then drops you straight down at a speed of 90 mph?

The newest Six Flags amusement park ride – Zoomanjaro:

It takes people 415 feet up in the air, straight up, and then drops them down at a speed of 90 mph. 415 feet up is about 40 stories. It’s the tallest amusement park ride in the world, I believe.

I am wondering if a drop of that type would have any negative effects on someone’s health – their brain, their eyes. I’m afraid of heights so it would probably be really thrilling for me. I love amusement park rides but I am not sure if I would want to do something so high up.
