You might want to check out the Insanity and the X-Scream at the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas.
The Insanity has 4 rotating cars that swing out to face the ground as the ride rotates. The arm the ride is built on then swings out over the Las Vegas Strip so that you're suspended about 1100 feet in the air. Completely...well...insane. I ride it every time I go to Vegas.
The X-Scream is basically a 40 foot long piece of roller coaster track which they lift up and dump over the side of the building. There's nothing quite like facing the ground below when you can't see the end of the track! Then, just for good measure they lift the track and shake it a bit before pulling you back in.
