If hanging upside down is your thing (or if you were an opossum in your former life), the Inverter at the Adventuredome is perfect for you. It looks like a giant Lego piece, but with screaming people inside.

The Inverter doesn't just whip you around, upside down and back again -- it pauses in mid-flight and you'll have enough time to look at everything beneath you. With only a harness and T-bar separating you from the concrete floor 50 feet below, you'll be holding on like there's no tomorrow. Let's just say the ride gives a whole new meaning to "leaving you hanging." 

Once you think it's all over, the Inverter propels the opposite direction, making sure you flip upside-down all over again. This is one of those rides meant for thrill-seekers, or those with a strong stomach. If you get dizzy easily, you may want to leave the Inverter for the daredevils.
