Some amusement park rides are too good to be true.

A famous drop ride in Seoul, Korea got a CGI update and it has people's heart rates spiking. The ride in question is the Gyro Drop, a 315-foot-tall tower at the amusement park Lotte World Adventure. It features a large rotating ring of 40 seats that lifts passengers high into the air and then drops them back down with a free fall. Oh, and guests can also choose to wear a VR headset while riding.

Of course, the ride wasn't terrifying enough for the thrill seekers of the internet, so someone decided to give it a sweat-inducing makeover.

While the maker of the CGI fake remains unknown, it got posted to Twitter and then, naturally, everywhere else on the internet.

The Spy Kids-esque CGI edit features the original Gyro Drop, but takes it to the next level. The tower seems to double in size and then eject its passengers, who are now connected with some type of cord. Once they're all dangling, the spinning occurs. My neck still hurts from watching it. And then, of course, the ridiculous drop.

From a technical standpoint, the video loooks somewhat believable. Kudos, CGI expert, whoever you are. Just don't go making it into a reality.

Speaking of reality, here's a video of the real Gyro Drop, which has been blasting riders up above Seoul since 1997. While it's more tame than the fake video it inspired, it's still a thrill. It even comes equipped with "scream shields."

According to the theme park's official website, passengers must be shorter than 6 feet 2 inches and younger than 65 to ride. Hopefully, nobody's trying to bring their tall grandpa. That would be a bummer.
