Like Scary Rides??

New Jersey may be the place to go.....
Next year this will be the world's scariest new amusement park ride
Can it please be 2014 already? The world's most amazing new amusement park ride is set to arrive in southern New Jersey next year. The Zumanjaro Drop of Doom plummets 415 feet at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, while all the way riders on the Kingda Ka roller coaster seem to hurtle straight toward them. Kingda Ka is the coaster so finely calibrated that it won't run when it's windy. As Gothamist staffer Nell Casey noted said: "Terrifying." See the video for what we can look forward to when construction's complete.

Louisiana sinkhole swallow trees

Watch here:
http://now.msn.com/louisiana-sinkhole-swallows-trees-in-viral-video
If we were standing on the edge of a sinkhole when it suddenly issued a "burp" (yes, that's what they call an increase in underground tremors that move gas and debris) and swallowed a bunch of tall cypress trees, we suspect we'd run away — fast. Not the guy who shot this video. John Boudreaux, director of the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness in Assumption Parish, La., was checking on underground activity at the year-old, 24-acre, previously placid bayou sinkhole on Wednesday when he saw a patch of trees begin to sway and lean.

"I was just standing there and I pointed out, 'Hey, it looks like they're moving,'" he told Louisiana's The Advocate. So he turned on his camera and got the whole thing on video. The swampy sinkhole has been growing since early August, likely due to salt dome movement underground. In sections, the now nearly 25-acre sinkhole may be hundreds of feet deep, and it may not stop growing (as its edges collapse, or "slough in") for years. Terrifying, and strangely hypnotic.

‘Sliders’ Snatching Valuables From Cars Across US

In a new wave of crime that occurs in an instant, thieves are cagily sliding into victim's cars and snatching valuables from open windows, in what police are calling "sliding."
Often operating at gas stations while customers are casually pumping fuel, thieves lying in wait pounce, snatching purses and other valuables, then running off.
"They're not looking for a confrontation," Houston police officer Jim Woods told ABC News. "They just want the property, because they know it's being left abandoned and you're not paying enough attention."
And police say these types of crimes are on the rise.
Authorities say the best thing the public can do is lock car doors every time the vehicle is exited.
