Theme park's 'cage of death' drops tourists in with crocs

dailymail.co.uk — Without the cage you wouldn't stand a chance swimming with a massive saltwater crocodile. But for brave punters who still want to get cosy with a feisty croc, a new Australian tourist attraction is offering the chance for a close encounter in the safety of a clear acrylic box dubbed the 'cage of death'.

  • Zaneris, on 11/07/2008, -0/+36Located in "Darwin", Australia...

    I can only see this going horribly wrong.
  • davidkshepherd, on 11/07/2008, -0/+36What's Jack Black doing in there?
  • Genecalypse, on 11/07/2008, -1/+18*crack*
  • Yousty, on 11/07/2008, -0/+16Seems kind of mean to me. You're torturing the crocodile constantly with food it can't get to.
  • tamaker, on 11/07/2008, -1/+13Can anyone say Accident waiting to happen.
  • icndvl, on 11/07/2008, -0/+10I imagine most of the time the crocodile is sleeping in the corner. I doubt he attacks the cage all ***** day...
  • JTMoney, on 11/07/2008, -0/+10is it just me or does it look like there is nothing to stop the croc from just climbing over the top into the cage? looks like a free meal to me
  • inactive, on 11/07/2008, -0/+9CROIKEY WOT A BEAUT!
  • d0ugfunny, on 11/07/2008, -0/+8i would wet myself
  • diggface5000, on 11/07/2008, -0/+7Darwin would appreciate the natural selection occurring within the city named after him.
  • hollywoodphony, on 11/07/2008, -0/+7I'm not saying I'd do it, but it's basically like walking through one of those shark tunnels, only with crocodiles. And you're wet.
  • manstein01, on 11/07/2008, -0/+7Can we stick the four marines who killed their sergeant and his wife in there? Just without the cage thingy.
  • winmywii, on 11/07/2008, -0/+6How is this any different than standing outside an aquarium?
  • AmyVernon, on 11/07/2008, -0/+6how could you tell?
  • DrLachie, on 11/07/2008, -0/+5A video from a national radio program:

    Meh, all the crocs were asleep at the time.
  • shredswithpiks, on 11/07/2008, -0/+5no he's just a badass
  • pooljoe, on 11/07/2008, -0/+5and it is 4cm so over an inch thick

  • inactive, on 11/07/2008, -1/+5how do you breath in there?
  • alpha94, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4That'd be such a rush.
  • Tezgno, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4Stupid misleading headline. And to think I was expecting some sort of ride that stopped over a croc tank and then dumped everyone in.
  • NuclearIsShit, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4That's what she said!
  • WrldsWrstDigger, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4you know it gets warmer in that spot.
  • supaklaw, on 11/07/2008, -1/+5It sure is Tiny Elvis.
  • dvddesign, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4Who doesn't like their meals out of a clear plastic container? It's like having leftovers every night!
  • spookyttws, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4Is the guy taking the pictures in a cage too?
  • NuclearIsShit, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4they should drill some holes in the plastic and stick meat out of them. Then it WOULD attack all day! HA HA HA!
  • Cassanova, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4ok I saw that and was wondering if I was seeing things right. WTF?
  • keithloughnane, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4It's perspex, you'll be ok
  • Annibal, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3It's a trap!
  • twiztidsinz, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3"Cage of Death" what the hell did they expect?
  • centran, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3I'm going to stick my finger up its cloaca!
  • Akairenn, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3Boston?

    *sigh*

    You've made Admiral Lord Nelson cry. I hope you're happy.
  • inigomntoya, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3FTA - Swimming face-to-face with a massive saltwater crocodile might not be everyone's idea of fun but thrill-seekers are snapping up Australia's newest tourist attraction
    "Thrill Seekers"? Really? So these people must really get off when they watch Shammoo through the plexi-glass at Sea World...
  • EvoIII8, on 11/07/2008, -1/+4Dugg for JB,
  • mattmacneil, on 11/07/2008, -3/+6crikey!
  • ChileanGoD, on 11/07/2008, -1/+4Not getting in there if the glass is less than an inch thick...and if the under grid is not metallic.
  • Kumah, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3that's part of the thrill.
  • thePTS, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2hahaha, this was the comment I was looking for

    He would've loved this cage concept I imagine. Rest in peace Steve :)
  • DustinD, on 11/07/2008, -1/+3that's sketchy.
  • pooljoe, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2Your wet
  • Cassanova, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2still I would be pretty happy getting to see him up that close but yeah people shouldn't get their hopes up that he is all over the cage all the time. Plus after a while you would think it wouldnt even give a damn.
  • panpizza15, on 11/07/2008, -1/+3Dammit! I was expecting this to be a accident were a rid goes off the rail and lands in a lake full of crocs.
  • gammamike, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2You're disgusting.
  • avatarpalin, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2Welcome to Australia.....

    That is not actually a large Crock... Not that it would greatly matter in the end, a death roll is a death roll
  • DrWarm, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2Crocs only eat 1 chicken a week apparently, because they get most of their energy from the sun. So maybe they just like to kill?
  • StefanVincent, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2Dugg for almost accurate(you go inside the cage) "Jaws" reference. I cant believe people are digging you down.
  • Poydflink, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2Also, I write badly in English.
